**Roxanne Falconeri-Rabbit** is one of Ricochet Rabbit's many nieces. Born to the "wild child" of the Rabbit family and the pride and joy of the Falconeri family, Roxanne grew up admiring her famous uncle, and decided to become a sheriff like him, much to her grandparents’ chagrin. After an argument with her grandfather, she left home and headed to Bucktooth Creek, her great-great-grandfather’s hometown, where she starts out as a deputy under a sheriff who was one of the few who employed women to serve. When her mentor was murdered, Roxanne spent three days on the outlaw’s trail, and her display of bravery and tenacity brought her popularity, although when she was made sheriff, those same people took a turn against her, not wanting a woman to protect them. Her first major case after becoming the new sheriff of Bucktooth Creek involved the capture of exiled outlaw Salvador Barnes, who went missing during one of her uncle’s cases. From there, she would go on her own journey to seize her own spurs as sheriff, from taking on fearsome outlaws, to even dealing with horrifying businessmen and animal trades. She originally wanted to become a lawwoman, but would eventually surpass her uncle as the greatest sheriff who ever lived.

Originally intended to debut in the original *Blazin’ Trails*, continuous reworkings of the series resulted in her planned debut being scrapped. She would make a small cameo in its final chapter, So Long, Droopy, which would also introduce her love interest, Salvador Barnes. She makes her proper debut in *Blazin' Trails Redux,* as one of the main protagonists of the series alongside her uncle. Roxanne also appears a few times in the sequel series, *Blazin’ Trails: The Next Generation,* and the non-canon spin-off series, *Blazin’ Trails Alternative.*

## Personality

Her nickname amongst her family is "Whirlwind" for a good reason. Though normally rather mild-tempered, there's no stopping her temper or her stubbornness when she gets going, and any who made her angry will come to rue that decision. She possesses a bluntness that could put her uncle to shame, and doesn't take crap from anyone, especially traditionalist men and women who try to tell her to "know her place". She has a particular disdain for rich men who think they can have their way with her; due to her well-developed figure, this happens far more often than she'd like. However, Roxanne doesn't shrink back, and will not hesitate to punch a man twice her size if they touch her inappropriately. She also won't hesitate to call people out on their behavior, namely her father and her maternal grandparents, the former of whom is known for being rude to people, and the latter for their attitudes on how a traditional woman should behave.

Despite her temper and stubbornness, there is a kind, bubbly side to her. She is very close to her uncle Ricochet, whom she nicknames "Ricmeister", as well as Nadia, whom she calls her sister. She works hard to help criminals change their ways, especially if she can see the good in them. Because of this, and being more willing to bend the rules to help someone than her maternal grandfather, she's seen as the "reckless savior" of the family.

Many criminals would soon fear the rabbit's name, for she shows absolutely no mercy to rapists(being a victim of rape herself)and animal traders;she kills the animal traders but with the rapists she has a special way of dealing with them: She'll castrate the males and mutilate the females where they can't even self-service themselves. While they'll have their urges they'll no longer have the equipment to relieve themselves. Once it was spread in the newspaper/telegrams how rapists were punished, Bucktooth Creek became the safest town in Texas for the vulnerable members of society, which would last for decades.

## History

### Early Life

Roxanne was born at her mother's family ranch on October 31st, 1845. She was the product of a one-night stand between her mother, Rachel Rabbit, and her father, Alfonso Falconeri, Jr. Until she was six years old, she lived on the Rabbit family ranch with her mother, her grandparents, a few of her younger aunts, and her cousin, Mireya Edwards-Rabbit, whose mother died when she was born and her father died two years later. Rachel later moved the two away from Carrottop Canyon to avoid her parents, who were grieving over Rose's death and were also upset with Rachel for having a child out of wedlock.

Out of all her family members, her uncle Ricochet came around the most to help his sister after she left their parents, and the two formed a close relationship, as he was the only father figure in her life at the time (at this point, her real father never knew of her existence). Watching her grandfather and uncle working as sheriffs and hearing many of their tales inspired Roxanne to follow in their footsteps, but her grandmother stood in the way, saying it wasn't proper for a young lady such as herself. While her mother originally sided with Regina on this matter, she soon changed her mind when she realized that Regina was simply parroting the words her father used to keep her from being a sheriff years ago, and told both of her parents off. Rachel and her uncle Ricochet decided to support her dream, as well as her cousin Mireya, who decided to follow in her late mother’s footsteps and go into the medical field. With their support, Roxanne headed to Bucktooth Creek, which was her great-great grandfather’s hometown, headquarters and resting place, to take her first steps as a sheriff.

## Abilities and Skills

Like a lot of her family members, Roxanne possesses her family’s speed gene, which allows her to move faster than most rabbits of her day. Blessed with incredible speed, it’s said that one shouldn’t blink when escaping from her. Most of her family have weak bone structure, but Roxanne is an interesting case in that she has stronger bones due to her dual bloodline. As such, she’s physically stronger amongst the sheriffs in her family, and while she’s an accomplished markswoman, her preferred method of subduing outlaws is physical force, only saving the guns for when an outlaw is irredeemable. She studied kickboxing for several years throughout her childhood, and is an accomplished melee fighter.

Unlike her uncle and grandfather, who rely heavily on their speed to compensate for their weak bone structure, Roxanne uses her speed to enhance her physical strength. It’s said that it appears as though she’s controlling the very air she’s surrounded by when she uses her skill, as though she’s bending the air.

## Trivia

* Roxanne is one of many characters who was created by iheartgod175’s best friend, Vulaan Kulaas.
* Roxanne’s design would change a bit over time:
	+ Roxanne’s design took several years to draw due to iheartgod175’s concern over her fur color clashing with her theme color. Her first design was in black and white, while her first full color design would debut in a small picture series the author did based on her favorite anime series, Love Live.
	+ Similar to her aunt Serena, Roxanne is drawn with a more fuller figure, making her appear older than she is. This was decided by Vulaan Kulaas.
	+ Originally, Roxanne had complete heterochromia (with one eye green and one eye blue) to reflect her double heritage. This was changed by Vulaan Kulaas.
* Roxanne was originally going to have a main character status in the original series, as the arc surrounding her and Salvador, as well as her trials as sheriff, were going to take center stage. This was rectified in Redux, where in every season following the first “movie”, she and her cousin James have their own storylines.
* Similar to her uncle, Roxanne has a few commonalities with her great-great grandfather: her willingness to pursue her dreams, her recklessness and her fury when finally brought to her limit. Ricochet notes that had Ricochet I been alive, he would have deemed Roxanne a worthy successor to the “Ricochet” name.
* Though Ricochet has his own sons (Lucky and Bucky) and daughters (Caroline, Rose, Catori, Azar and Cheyenne), he considered Roxanne to be the one who could inherit the name “Ricochet”, which is fitting since he helped practically raise her.
* Roxanne is the only one in her family to call Ricochet "Ricmeister".
