the personality

overall personality •
The Great Prince is wise, unflinchingly brave, selfless, and above all dutiful. He does everything for the greater good of the herd and has learned to hold himself aloof and places no relationship, friendship or family, above that cause. He does love Bambi and his grandchildren but can be distant emotionally.

the history

overall history •
Before the Great Prince held his title, he was simply Algo, the Little Prince of the Great Forest and in line to take his father’s job as guardian of that great land and all the creatures, herd and critter, living there. His father was the Great Prince at the time and had lost three other sons already to Man. He was really too old to be continuing the job as head of the herd, so Algo became the Great Prince almost as soon as he was fully grown. Algo’s father was unable to be there for most of Algo’s fawnhood before then. When Algo took over the mantle of Great Prince, his father explained that Man was always after the biggest animals and by staying away he had hoped to protect Algo and his mother unlike his previous sons.

Algo took this as a lesson and followed in the hoofsteps of his father instantly, watching over the herd from a distance but keeping himself away from personal interactions with them for the most part. This was partially due to his dad’s teaching and partially because Algo had always been the strong silent type and even as a fawn hadn’t made friends easily. He may stayed a grim, statue-like protector with very few emotions, knowing only the lessons of protecting the forest.

But then he met his future son, Bambi’s, mother. She was gentle and quiet, too, but she was brave. She wasn’t afraid to leave the herd’s number and strike out enjoying the beauties of the forest on her own. She and Algo fell in love, and he watched with pride from a distance, as his father had before him, while she raised their son Bambi. The Great Prince meant to visit, but when he wasn’t busy with his duties he remembered his father’s warning about Man and normally thought better of building a close relationship with Bambi.

Tragically, Bambi’s mother was still killed by Man. The Great Prince was too late to save her, and with a heavy heart took charge of Bambi’s upbringing. It was hard, but his son taught him even more of how to open his heart and connect instead of staying aloof. Bambi was promising, and as he grew and overcame challenges that even included Man’s dangers, so did the Great Prince’s pride and faith in his son.

One day, not long after Bambi’s antlers started to bud, they met newcomers in their forest. King Mufasa, the lion, and his little cub, Prince Simba, came to the Great Prince’s land after the merging of worlds and the decimation of their homeland because of the war. Largely because his son was rapidly becoming a friend of Simba’s and also because of his kindred spirit of leadership going out to Mufasa, the Great Prince joined their efforts as an advisor. He understood that he couldn’t fight off the Enchanted Suns army if they decided to force themselves into the Great Forest, and he’d learned compassion from his son and late doe.

One thing the Great Prince struggles to reconcile is Man’s involvement with Mufasa’s army. He is unable to trust them. If not for meeting Tarzan, a kindly bridge between animal and human, he would not have been able to get past having to welcome the same creatures responsible for the death and endangerment of everything he had ever loved. Now the Great Prince tolerates Man in their ranks sternly and quietly, but still does his best to avid them and every moment he gets quietly voices his concerns about them to Mufasa.
