Bambi and feline - Gobo

When she appears again shortly after she meets with Bambi, she is a beautiful and very attractive young doe and has progressed to the point where she makes her moves with what comes across as a thoroughly deliberated strategy, with the possible implication that she had been watching Bambi for some time, waiting for the perfect moment to make her approach.

In the Felix Salten books though, Bambi and Faline are cousins and share a great deal of a friendly relationship.

When Bambi first meets her, he becomes very shy to be near another fawn and a very pretty one at that.

Bambi is so entranced by the Great Prince's magnificence that at first he smiles at him for a short while before he returns to staring at awe.
