Bambi
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, and also appears in the background of the entire Festival week.
Appearance
Bambi is a really 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 also 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, covered partially by blue overalls, with black buttons and a front pocket. His skeleton, which is seen in his game over sprites, appears to be composed of just a single bone that extends from his legs to his head. though his hands seem to 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 flashes white very briefly. He also smashes the phone, and throws it in some animations.
In Splitathon, he is missing the overalls, just wearing his red shirt, and some blue pants. He has a serious expression, and swings his hands back and forth around himself.
In Shredder, he is back to his normal look, but now possesses a red and white electric guitar, similar to a Guitar Hero controller.
In Mealie and Indignancy, he has a very angry expression, with white irises around his black pupils. He's gritting his teeth and intensely furrowing his eyebrows. In his hand he's strongly gripping a crushed phone, which has a black screen and cracks all over it.
In the song Recursed, if he is chosen as the playable character and gets affected by recursion, his 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, and slow in terms of thinking quickly. Despite this he has been described as pretty down to earth if you get to know him.
Though he gets angry quickly, he also calms down just as fast as he's a bit of a defeatist, since if he's losing an argument he tends to not want to continue fighting anymore. Example being when he tells Boyfriend and Girlfriend to 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.
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, but recent depictions from Rapparep in comics, drawings and descriptions have shown that they take up for eachother in different ways. Bambi is there when Dave need 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 also acts as Dave's guard dog on occasion, such as when Dave orders him to attack Bully Boy when he learns he's bullying his son in one of the comics.
He doesn't like to be left out of things, this is shown in Splitathon. Where after being told by Dave that the rivalry between him and Boyfriend doesn't involve him, he sits angrily, letting the two start their singing duel until the middle of the song, where he forces his way into the match, much to Dave's frustration.
Bambi is friends with Dave's son, Tristan, though over the course of their seen interactions Bambi yells at him for playing with his phone without permission. Tristan then gets scolded for calling the cops. That is the end of their canon interactions.
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.
