Origin[]
Faline is the daughter of Bambi's Aunt Ena and, after reaching adulthood, Bambi's wife.
She along her twin brother Gobo, are introduced to their cousin Bambi on a subsequent trip. They quickly become friends and share what they have learned about the forest. While they are playing, they encounter princes, male deer, for the first time. After the stags leave, the fawns learn that those were their fathers, but that the fathers rarely stay with or speak to the females and young. Later in novel, Bambi, now a young adult is reunited with his cousin Faline. After he battles and defeats first Karus, then Ronno, she and Bambi fall in love with each other. They spend a great deal of time together. Later they separated shortly after mating much as real deer do. She was last seen toward the end of the book, old and grey.
