The Young-Deer•Adult-Prince Ronno

He is another close enemy of Bambi, alongside Man. A vain and selfish buck, Ronno desires the doe Faline, but only for lust.

## Biography

### *Bambi*

In the book and film, Ronno appears and tries to get Faline (who he wishes to be his mate) to leave with him against her will, causing Bambi to battle him. Ronno is superior at first but Bambi (despite being the youngest buck) eventually overpowers him and knocks him off a cliff into water below.

Ronno is not seen again or heard of after this, leaving it unknown as to whether or not he survived the wildfire along with other forest animals.

## Personality

Ronno is shown to be an overconfident and arrogant jerk, who is usually seen bullying Bambi, and trying to steal Faline from him. Ronno desires Faline for superficial reasons and views her as a prize to be claimed in contrast to Bambi who truly loves her.

He is also shown to be very rude to his mother by berating her for bothering when he is trying to make new friends, but runs to her when in danger (e.g. Man's dogs and being bitten on the nose by a turtle). Ronno is also shown to be a spoiled brat with no redeemable qualities at all.

As an adult, Ronno is more competent and composed, yet his cruel streak has only heightened as shown by him attempting to mate with Faline by force.

## Appearance

Ronno has dark brown fur, black tipped ears with a hole in his right ear. As a fawn, he has budding antlers and green eyes. Whilst as a young adult, he has brown eyes and three points on his antlers.

Judging by his appearance, Ronno is at least a few months older than Bambi since as fawns, he has budding antlers and no spots on his fur whilst Bambi had no antlers and still had spots (until the end of *Bambi II*). As a young adult, Ronno has three points on his antlers whilst Bambi has two.

## Trivia

* In the films, Ronno and Bambi have been enemies since childhood however in the book *Bambi, a Life in the Woods*, Ronno and another young buck named Karus (who is absent from the film) were on good terms with Bambi in childhood and had known him even before his mother's death. Upon reaching maturity, Ronno along with Karus, battled Bambi for Faline's love. Also in the book, Ronno has a lame leg after being shot, but lacks this in the film or the manga adaptation.
* In the first *Bambi* film, he did not speak any lines of dialogue. His role was taken seriously, and despite being the secondary antagonist, his role in the film was very short as he was only seen in the fight scene. However, in both films, Ronno was still less dangerous than Man.
* When he told his story about meeting Man, both Faline and Bambi told him that his story is "unbelievable", though he reacted differently to each comment - he did not mind the former telling him this as he is in love with her, but when the latter told him this he thought the latter was calling him a liar ( even though Bambi actually believed him.)
* Neither Ronno nor Man appear in the comic book *Bambi's Children* or in the live-action sequel *Perri* because probably both died in the wildfire.
* In *Bambi*, Ronno has tree points on his antlers and light brown eyes as well a hole in his right ear. However, in *House of Mouse*, he has two points on his antlers and dark brown eyes, but strangely he doesn't have a hole on his ear like in the movie. In *Bambi II*, he has green eyes.
* Although Ronno did not physically appear in *Mickey's House of Villains*, it is likely possible that he did take part with the other Disney Villains taking over the House of Mouse.
