Morphology
The parts 'fluff' (soft, fluffy material) and 'bunny' (a cute small rabbit) together strongly evoke softness and cuteness, so a B1 learner who knows both words can likely infer an image of someone cute or associated with cute things. However, the finer pragmatic sense—an informal/slang label for someone overly sweet or a keen fan of cute items—is a metaphorical, evaluative extension and may not be fully predictable without prior exposure, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Fluff bunny likely comes from the simple picture of a person surrounded by soft, fluffy toys, especially toy rabbits. Because fluff means soft and bunny is a small cute animal, the name came to mean someone who is 'overly sweet' or who 'loves cute things'.
