Dash

***Dash*** is a young and energetic European Hare, and one of Kimba's close friends. She is one of the locals within Farthing Wood.

## Appearance

Dash is a light brown hare with a lighter underbelly that connects from her tail to the end of her muzzle. She has yellow eyes and has a form of thickened "shadow" just above them resembling eyebrows.

## Personality

Dash's main overall trait is her energetic and speedy nature: she's quick, impatient, and prefers the faster route to things rather than stay and work things out. One of her favorite things to do is racing, which she would often try to do whenever she can get the chance just to show the world how fast she is. She takes great pride in her speed and is quick to rub it in whenever given the chance to.

She does mean well to her friends, and willing to make sure they're safe, but sometimes her need for speed ends up having her make and suggest things that otherwise would be not needed. This is shown in "The Crystal Gems", and her suggesting that it would be better for the tribe to just run into Steven before Kimba could introduce him just so they could get the "awkward meeting" done and over with, although not considering how it would turn out.

## History

### Volume 01. Arrival

Dash first appears in the middle of a night race with Kimba. Although she did struggle for a bit, she does eventually win said race, and she procceeds to gloat about it on the way back home, stating how she's the fastest of all the hares in the Bajelous Jungle (despite only mainly racing Farthing Wood animals at the time). She only stopped when Kimba offered her to race the Bajelous Wolf Pack, to which she quickly declines saying she has to rest her paws, but she'll take on anyone who challenges her. As Kimba leaves, they plan another race the following day.

She is seen the next day at Farthing Wood in said race, already ready to beat Kimba as said so herself. She and Kimba race through the wood, and for a bit she is lagging behind, but in the end, she is quick to win the race. Although gloating for a bit, she does take interest away from it when Kimba finds Peridot's gemstone, her specifically questioning what the gemstone even was to begin with. It wasn't until it began coming to life later on does she, and the others, go off to get rid of it on Fox's instruction.

While out, she and the others reach the Savannah, and she comes up with an idea to leave the gemstone at the plateau. This idea was short-lived though when she got caught up in the crash-landing of the Red Eye. She was able to survive the crash itself, but she insists on staying put at first. However, reluctantly, she leaves alongside Bucky and Pauly after Kimba tells them all to.

She reappears a few days later, as she returns to check in on Kimba, who she finds fishing by a small creek. As she is catching up with him, she asks him the question regarding a Human staying with the wolves, as she heard the rumor over by the Farthing Wood Pond not too long ago, and that the rumor had spread for half a week by that point. After she hears Kimba's side to the whole thing, specifically him worried about how Steven and the tribe would react, Dash suggests that it would be easier for the "awkward meeting" to be done and over with, despite the unpredictable outcome of it all. The conversation is cut short when she starts hearing someone in the distance, suddenly rushing off and telling Kimba to follow her. After running, she reveals that she's heard people calling for Steven (the Crystal Gems). She is first happy about it, but then Kimba tells her to get Steven, which she protests as she's not willing to leave him given last time she did that Kimba got attacked by Imps. She eventually agrees to go, rubbing in one more time how fast she was to him before going. It took her a long while, but she gets back, only for her to NOT have Steven: she explains that Bravo told her Steven went out with the wolf family already.
