The Great Prince of the Forest

The Great Prince of the Forest (or simply the Great Prince) is a character from Bambi & Bambi 2 and is a major supporting character in The Disney Club. Elaine's mate and Bambi's father, he is the brave and wise guardian of Wildwood Heart Forest, guarding the woodland creatures in it from hunters and other dangers.

Personality
The Great Prince often comes off as cold, aloof and very serious, which combined with his large, intimidating appearance and how brutal he can get when he senses danger and gets serious makes him come off as a very threatening figure.

But beneath his aloof and stern exterior lays a lonely buck on a long, lonely trail. He lives a life of isolation due to his responsibilities, and he tries his best to bottle up or hide any emotion he has. While he does often focus on keeping up a dignified, regal façade and can be very harsh and distant, but he does care deeply for his mate, the rest of the denizens of the forest, and especially his son, who he genuinely wants what's best for him, but his pride, his favoring of tradition, his initially stern and distant upbringing and his belief of putting the needs of the forest first put him at odds with raising his son, at least until he does start to make a genuine attempt to bond with him, and even the rest of the gang, and he finally realizes just how worthless that attitude really is.

Skills/Abilities

 * "Observing"

A gift that all Princes of the forest share is what he refers to as "observing" - looking, listening and smelling for danger all at the same time. He does this to "feel the forest", like feel vibrations through his hooves for abnormalities in forest activity.

Bambi
While he can often rather cold towards him, the Great Prince often does this without realizing it. In truth, while he doesn't often show it, he genuinely loves his son; he simply believes that his duties of guarding the forest are more important, and raising Bambi should simply be Elaine's duty. But over the course of the series (mostly due in part to Elaine's insistence), the Prince grows closer to his son, and as a result, more warm and open.
