Appearances[]

Bambi[]

She is first seen when Bambi's mother takes him to the meadow. As Bambi's mother talks to Faline's mother, Faline runs around Bambi, inviting him to play. Bambi is shy and doesn't know what to do, or how to talk to her, so he hides behind his mother's legs, but Bambi's mother tells him to say: "Hi." so he does. Faline starts to giggle and chases Bambi. He stumbles backwards and falls in a puddle surrounded by tall grass. Faline continually sneaks up on him, and when he's about to turn around, she runs away. Bambi finally sees her and yells: "You!" He chases her onto a rock, and then they watch the other deer running and jumping. Afterward, Faline and her mother leave the meadow.

An adult Bambi is scared of Faline

When Spring comes, Friend Owl talks to an adult Bambi, Thumper, and Flower about "twitterpation," which means falling in love. At first, they think it's terrible, and that they're determined not to let it happen to them, but as they walk through the forest, Flower falls in love with Petunia, and Thumper falls in love with Miss Bunny.

While Bambi is taking a drink at a small pond, he sees a doe's reflection, and it's an adult Faline. She says: "Hello, Bambi! Don't you remember me? I'm Faline!" Bambi is shocked, and he fearfully slips on a rock and falls into the water. He then gets up and tries to run away, but his antlers get caught on a branch. As Bambi struggles to free himself, Faline licks him on the cheek, and he falls in love with her. He dreams about them frolicking in the clouds together, but when Faline goes to hide inside a bush, an adult Ronno the Bully appears. He doesn't speak, but the mean and hateful look on his face shocks Bambi and Faline, and he tries to take Faline with him again to make her his mate, like he tried to do when they were fawns. Faline NEVER liked Ronno, because he was a bully, but he didn't care. She yells: "Bambi!" several times, and Bambi gets angry and fights back, and he eventually knocks Ronno off the cliff and into the river, like he did when they were fawns.

An adult Ronno the Bully reappears

While Bambi and Faline are sleeping, Bambi wakes up and senses something. He leaves Faline's side to go to the top of the hill to investigate, and his father, the Great Prince of the Forest tells him that Man has returned, and there are many of them, and they must go deep into the forest. He says: "Hurry! Follow me!" and Bambi stops short and yells: "Faline!" and runs to search for her.

Faline woke up shortly after Bambi left, and as she searched for him, Man's hunting dogs appear, and they start chasing her in the mountainside. Bambi finds her just in time, as she hides on a ledge, just out of reach of the dogs. Bambi fights the dogs and orders Faline to jump and run to safety. After the hunting dogs run away, Bambi jumps over a raveen, but he gets shot in the leg. Soon, a forest fire breaks out, and his father finds him and orders him to get up, despite his injury. He helps Bambi escape the fire, and they jump into the waterfall and swim to safety.

Faline waits with the other forest animals, and she is relieved to see Bambi and his father alive. Bambi runs to Faline and they kiss and nuzzle each other, and they sadly watch the forest fire burning. The next Spring, Faline gives birth to twin fawns, and she looks up and sees Bambi and his father standing on top of the hill watching them. The Great Prince is happy that he lived long enough to become a grandfather, and he retires and walks away, and Bambi becomes the new Great Prince of the Forest.

Bambi II[]

Faline first appears when she greets Bambi, who, along with other forest animals, is watching the groundhog predict the weather. Bambi stumbles backwards and says: "Hi." They watch Friend Owl try to coax the groundhog out of his hole, but he gets stuck. They all laugh hysterically, but after he frees himself, another fawn named Ronno appears and yells: "Boo!" and scares the groundhog back into his hole, and he laughs. Ronno then walks over and introduces himself to everyone, and he develops a crush on Faline.

He tells them a fake story about fighting off hunters, and that they trick deer into simulating a doe's call. Faline thinks it's an unbelievable story, and Bambi gives Ronno the idea that he's accusing him of lying, so he challenges Bambi to a fight. Ronno's mother calls him, and he yells at her for constantly interrupting him when he's "trying to make friends," and he leaves with her.

The next day, Ronno tries to impress Faline again by bragging about himself, but Faline suddenly hears Bambi cry out, so she runs to him, with Ronno shouting: "Hey, I wasn't done talking about me!" Faline soon finds Bambi injured by the Porcupine's quills. She tries to comfort him, but Ronno arrives and says: "I can't believe you're alive!"

Bambi asks: "What do you mean?"

Bambi II Ronno VS Bambi by MissSlytherin

Ronno the Bully picks a fight with Bambi

Ronno: "I mean the way you froze in that field, and in front of your own father!"

He smirks and calls Bambi a coward. Bambi protests and lets out a weak call. Ronno smirks and then tries to take Faline with him, but Bambi says: "Leave her alone!"

Thumper angrily pushes Bambi into Ronno, and he falls face first into the mud. Ronno furiously gets up, and Bambi scoops Thumper on his head and runs, and as Ronno chases them, Bambi eventually jumps over a large chasm, and Thumper calls Ronno "a big baby," as Ronno gets scared and backs away. Bambi and Thumper then see Bambi's father, the Great Prince, who's angry at Bambi for not staying near the den, but he then sees the large chasm and asks Bambi if he jumped. After Bambi tells him yes, he comments that he didn't make a jump like that until he had antlers. As they leave, Ronno tries to jump, but he slips and falls into the mud.

When Spring comes, Faline and the other forest animals have to say goodbye to Bambi, because the Great Prince decides to send him away with a new adoptive mother named Mena. She was childhood friends with Bambi's mother. Bambi tells everyone: "I won't forget any of you." While leaving with Mena, Ronno appears and taunts Bambi about his father sending him away, because he's ashamed of him. Bambi angrily fights back, and knocks Ronno down, but Ronno gets up and pushes Bambi into Mena, and she ends up in one of Man's snare traps. Alarms go off, and Ronno runs away in fear after Man's hunting dogs arrive, yelling: "Mommy!" After Mena yells Bambi's mother's last words before her death, Bambi is determined not to let history repeat itself, and he lures the hunting dogs away, and they start chasing him. The Great Prince arrives and frees Mena from the snare trap.

Soon, one of the hunting dogs chases Bambi up the mountain, but Bambi knocks him off the mountain with his hooves. He then sees his father, and jumps to a closer area, but the cliff gives way, and Bambi falls. The Great Prince runs to Bambi, and at first, he, along with Friend Owl, Mena, Thumper, and Flowers think he's dead. He sheds a single tear, and Bambi regains consciousness and for the first time, he says: "Dad?" His father answers: "I'm here! I'm here!" and they lovingly nuzzle each other. Thumper cries and Flower comforts him. Friend Owl and Mena look at each other smiling, and Mena leaves, deciding that she's no longer needed.

In the Spring, Faline, Flower and other forest animals listen to Thumper's exaggerated story of how Bambi fought Man's hunting dogs.

Friend Owl says: "Ahh, twitterpated." Thumper and Flower ask: "What's twitterpated?" Friend Owl answers: "I'll tell you when you're older." Ronno then shows up, and tells Bambi that they'll meet again, and he accidentally steps on a turtle, and he falls into the river and the turtle bites his nose. He yells: "Mommy!" and runs away, and everyone laughs.
