Bambi Bambi Bambi, simply known as Bambi in the mod, is a main character in Dave and Bambi. He appears in the songs Blocked, Corn Theft, Maze, Splitathon, Shredder, Mealie, and Indignancy. He also appears in the background of the entire Festival week.

Appearance

Bambi is a short humanoid farmer with stubby proportions. He has no neck or arms, though his hands seem to float independently of his body. He also appears to have no feet, since his legs are rounded off. His eyes are white with black pupils and are mostly covered by his hat, though his eyebrows seem to float over it. He wears a dark green hat and a red shirt that is partially covered by blue overalls. The overalls have two black buttons and a front pocket. His skeleton, which is seen in his game over sprites, is composed of a single bone that extends from his legs to his head. His hands have a human-looking bone structure.

In some of his sprites, he holds a phone, which is a dark gray brick with a blue screen. When he touches the screen of the phone, it briefly flashes white. He also smashes the phone and throws it in some animations.

Splitathon

In Splitathon, Bambi is missing his overalls; he only wears his red shirt and a pair of blue pants. He has a serious expression, and swings his hands back and forth around himself.

Corn Festival Week

In Shredder, Bambi is back to his normal look, but now possesses a red and white electric guitar, similar to a Guitar Hero controller.

Extra

In Mealie and Indignancy, Bambi has a very angry expression with white irises around his black pupils. He is gritting his teeth and intensely furrowing his eyebrows. In his hand, he is strongly gripping an intensely cracked phone with a black screen.

During Recursed, if he is chosen as the playable character and a sufficient number of notes are missed, Bambi's hat, shirt and microphone will turn white, and his clothes will turn a dark gray. His face will look annoyed.

In a lore-only form, Bambi can get so furious that his clothes and hands turn completely red and his head becomes invisible.

Personality

Bambi is a short-tempered, stubborn, and impulsive individual. He cannot think quickly and is also very impatient. Despite this, he has been described as pretty down to earth if you get to know him.[2]

Though Bambi gets angry quickly, he also calms down just as fast. He's a bit of a defeatist, and if he's losing an argument he tends to not want to continue fighting anymore. An example would be when he tells Boyfriend and Girlfriend to "just, go away" at the end of the song Maze.

Bambi is described as able to make friends with anyone, if he's given the chance, and will stick up for his friends.

He doesn't like to be left out of things, as shown in Splitathon. After being told by Dave that the rivalry between he and Boyfriend doesn't involve him, Bambi sits angrily and lets the two start their singing duel. In the middle of the song, he forces his way into the match, much to Dave's frustration.

Relationships

Dave

Bambi is best friends with Dave, who he met while attempting to steal corn from a corn maze. Some may describe their relationship as being one-sided, since Bambi is stubborn and acts purely on impulse, taking more and mooching off of Dave than giving back to him. However, recent depictions from Rapparep in comics, drawings, and descriptions have shown that they take up for each other in different ways. Bambi is there when Dave needs a helping hand, and they visit each other frequently. Dave also gives Bambi bricks painted like phones whenever he asks for one, which are implied to become functional when Bambi uses them. He acts similar to a guard dog on Dave's behalf, such as when Dave orders him to attack Bully Boy when he learns he's bullying Tristan in one of the comics.

Tristan

Bambi is friends with Dave's son, Tristan, though over the course of their on-screen interactions Bambi yells at him for playing with his phone without permission. Tristan is then scolded for calling the cops.

Boyfriend & Girlfriend

Bambi is possibly friends with Boyfriend and Girlfriend, with him learning to like them over the course of his week, and then later inviting them to his festival.

Expunged

While several of Expunged's forms are heavily based on Bambi, and even uses his same soundbytes, they are not related to each other as people, including familially.[3]
