Ronno's Favorite Time of Year

Description

So i had an idea.
Trans doe Ronno.
And i wanna preface this by saying i am 100% open to criticism on this concept and my story behind it. I want to hear feedback from trans feminine people. As a cis person, my ability to tell this story is severely limited. So your advice is very welcome. And as usual, technical criticism from anyone is appreciated. I was going for a simple, Disney-esque style smooshed together with some realism. But i love the animation style and character design in Bambi and Bambi 2, so i didn't stray too far from that. She/her pronouns to refer to Ronno from here on out.

As a fawn (in Bambi 2) she was always making a big show of masculinity, imitating adult stags at every opportunity. She taunted Bambi for being girly, calling him "Princess" and saying things like, "Bambi? Isn't that a girl's name?" But maybe she felt a little bit of jealousy towards the other fawn, who was maturing more slowly. She was probably confused and a little angry when her antlers started growing in so early, so she overcompensated by showing them off, even going so far as to call them "the Boys". But using them just didn't come naturally to her. And her favorite time of year is in winter when her antlers shed, and she can walk without the weight on her head to remind her of how she looks to others.

Fast forward to adolescence/young adulthood. Her overcompensation has gone to the extreme. She's also troubled by the fact that she is both jealous of and attracted to Faline, who of course only has eyes for Bambi. So Ronno makes a big show of trying to claim Faline and fighting Bambi. But she's still not all that sure of her antlers, and despite being physically bigger and stronger, Ronno loses out to Bambi.

The loss is a turning point for Ronno. She realizes the life of a stag is not for her. She abandons the safety of the herd for a solitary life of personal freedom. It's dangerous, but she's still quite strong.


I still have ideas for this. Like maybe Ronno meets another antlered doe. Maybe they fall in love. Maybe they have different methods for coping with their different levels of dysphoria. Etc etc, idk. What do you think?

And i don't wanna hear anything about ~ruined childhood~ i am so not here for that.

well that was unexpected!
at first i'd say it was a bit farfetch to make such an history out of the bambi movies and from a character from ronno, but then i think:

1- there are much less popular fandoms i love to participate with, and this seems as fine and cool as any other can be. people have diferent tastes.
2- you worked quite great the story arround the character, taking it seriously and i really think this needs to be noticed and respected.
3- i like to consider myself openminded and suportive (as i said, i myself am part of quite farfetch fandoms)

so, congratulations for quite an interesting idea, beautifull quality and such courage, is not always easy to come out to the internet with soething like this!
