Spectre[[note]](named without caps because it is no longer an acronym)[[/note]] and Blofeld have returned after a 44-year absence from the film franchise. Their involvement in the Creator/DanielCraig era is retroactively applied to all of his movies.

The [[CainAndAbel estranged foster brother]] of 007 and the leader of Spectre, he is bent on controlling global surveillance through the "Nine Eyes" programme, alongside a willingness to kill Bond for being favoured by Oberhauser's father. In addition, he supervised the activities of Bond's antagonists since ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', including Mr. White, Le Chiffre, Dominic Greene, and Raoul Silva.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: He is the darkest incarnation of Blofeld so far, being more sadistic and petty than his previous incarnations, who were more along the lines of an icy-cold sociopath. This is shown by his deeds here being more in a DarkerAndEdgier direction compared to his previous incarnations, what with the {{Patricide}}, [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil human slavery]], ColdBloodedTorture, and BigBrotherIsWatching.
* AdaptationNameChange: In contrast to the original novels and the previous films, Blofeld's real name is revealed to be Franz Oberhauser. "Blofeld" is his mother's maiden name, which he uses after symbolically rejecting the name his father gave him.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Bond and Blofeld are adoptive brothers in this continuity, which they were not before. This makes Bond's feud with his ArchEnemy far more personal, especially since Blofeld killed his own father in response to said adoption.
* AnalogyBackfire: Oberhauser's facility is housed within a crater formed by a meteor, and he had the meteor itself put on display. When Bond and Swann arrive, he launches into a speech about how the meteor had waited up in space, silently biding it's time, before becoming an unstoppable force that changed the face of the Earth. Bond shoots back that the meteor actually did stop, and right where they're standing, in fact. You can see the wind come out of Oberhauser's sails. That's not even counting how outside of the film, the analogy still doesn't really hold up -- the meteor, other than being an inanimate object that can't "bide it's time", was in fact ''completely'' at the mercy of the forces (gravity from the sun, planets, and other astronomical bodies) around it.
* AntagonisticOffspring: The fact that his father favoured Bond over him was enough to make [[FreudianExcuse Oberhauser kill him]] and [[DisproportionateRetribution destroy Bond's life.]]
* TheAnticipator: Played for creepy effects with Oberhauser, who always seems to know when Bond will show up, even outfitting rooms in his SupervillainLair with personal photographs for his 'guests'.
* AnimalMotifs:
** Like his previous incarnations, he uses a black octopus as a symbol for Spectre and has a white, fluffy cat.
** He [[TermsOfEndangerment mockingly calls Bond a "cuckoo"]] because the latter was [[ParentalFavoritism favoured by Oberhauser's father]] when both were younger.
* AnimalMetaphor: A vindictive and petty man, he mockingly calls 007 a "cuckoo" for the [[TheResenter resentment]] he felt for Bond as a foster brother.
* ArchEnemy: Is this to Creator/DanielCraig's Bond, without a doubt. He holds an intense grudge against 007 because Oberhauser's father favuored an orphaned Bond over Franz, resulting in Oberhauser killing his own father out of jealousy and faking his own death before going on to create a NebulousEvilOrganization and [[TheChessmaster orchestrating]] many of [[GreaterScopeVillain Bond's tragedies since]] ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}''.
* ArcWelding: Blofeld claims that Spectre was behind the events of ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', ''Film/{{Quantum|Of Solace}}'', and ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' (supposedly, as it's entirely possible he was just attempting to rattle James). This is a fairly unusual case, because the arc seems to have been unwelded just to weld it back together. Le Chiffre was clearly established as having worked for Quantum (and being killed for being unreliable) in the first two films, but references to those events in this film seem to imply that [=MI6=] thought they were independent villains. One of Mr. White's lines implies that Spectre is Quantum, just after mission drift and a strong change in plans (likely Bond disrupting its leadership), or that Quantum was Dominic Greene's own business (with Greene being a Spectre member nonetheless).
* ArtisticLicenceAnatomy: During the torture scenes, the descriptions of what drilling into specific parts of the brain will do are suspect at best. Higher brain functions like facial recognition are spread out over an area, so whether damaging such a tiny area would give the described result is already questionable. Furthermore, even the general area of the brain is all wrong. In the film this is said to be the result when the drill goes into something at the base of the neck. That area in the human brain controls basic functions like motor functions and autonomous muscles. Facial recognition has been mapped around the temple, which was ironically the ''previous'' location the drill went. Of course, all that talk might just have been to heighten the victim's horror, as the film itself seems to lampshade this as Bond has no problem recognizing people after his torture. However, this also brings the question of Bond somehow not being incapacitated by the procedure itself. Most people wouldn't be able to function for a while after having something drilled into their head, much less go into action.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:No one sheds tears when he dies due to the nanobots that Safin had Madeleine bring in the base, which she transmitted to Bond, who then unwittingly transmitted them to Blofeld, killing him.]]
* AxCrazy: A subdued and downplayed example due to how [[DissonantSerenity creepily]] calm he can be, but it's still there. He also expresses a murderous glee to torture Bond in the most horrific way possible.
* BigBad:
** He is this in ''Spectre'', due to his plot to gain control of all of the world's intelligence and surveillance systems through the Nine Eyes program in order to establish a new world order, all at the cost of making Bond's life so miserable out of spite and jealousy.
** It is also quite clear that he is this to the entire rebooted 007 series (''Casino Royale'', ''Quantum of Solace'', and ''Skyfall'') as he was the one who created Quantum as a figurehead to Spectre, and that other main villains (Le Chiffre, Greene, Mr. White, and Silva) were nothing but pawns who reported to him the entire time. Even his actions in ''No Time to Die'' are more than enough to cause Safin to go down a darker path.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Safin in ''No Time to Die''.
* BigBrotherBully: He and Bond were foster brothers, but Bond was highly favoured by Oberhauser's father. He proclaims to be behind all of Bond's miseries and [[DisproportionateRetribution wants to make his life even more miserable]] in any way possible, whether physically or psychologically. Even after he's imprisoned in ''No Time to Die'', he still refuses to stop tormenting Bond.
* BondVillainStupidity:
** First, when Oberhauser has Bond at his mercy in his secret base, he decided to go all EvilGloating and BreakTheBadass on both Bond and his girl, and then he'd get to killing Bond after the ColdBloodedTorture. This gave Bond time enough to bail out and make his escape with Madeleine. The second time (in the climax), he constructs an elaborate DeathTrap, giving Bond a SadisticChoice: escape now on your own (and [[DespairEventHorizon live with the guilt and shame]] of [[MyGreatestFailure not saving Madeleine in time for the rest of his life]]), or try to rescue her and die together. In the latter case, he was playing on Bond's feelings to get him to fall, but since he was more interested in tormenting Bond rather than killing him, this gave Bond plenty of time to find Madeleine and then escape.
** His henchmen aren't too bright either. While kidnapping Bond, they tie his hands in front of him, with plastic zip ties. Sure enough, Bond is able to grab one of their guns and shoot them both, then break free.
** In ''No Time To Die'', he gets Bond right where he wants him: at Blofeld's birthday party, surrounded by SPECTRE agents. However, rather than [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just having someone shoot Bond]], he has a scientist who has developed a weapon that can be programmed to instantly kill a specific target kidnapped and forced to set said weapon to target Bond. This probably would have worked if not for the fact that said scientist was already working for another villain, who instead had him program the weapon to target the SPECTRE agents at the gathering. In other words, Blofeld's ComplexityAddiction not only caused his plan to kill Bond to fail, but also wiped out SPECTRE as a group.
* BrokenPedestal: Mr. White once regarded him as a comrade-in-arms. However, when SPECTRE began to expand into [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexual slavery]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards White reacts with disgust]], but this causes a major fallout to the point Oberhauser basically declares him a dead man walking and orders his death sometime between ''Quantum of Solace'' and ''Spectre''. Likewise, White could never look at Oberhauser the same way he used to and is forced into hiding.
* BullyingADragon:
** [[spoiler:Blofeld really thought that nearly murdering Safin and killing his entire family was just another day of fun sadistic activity for him to enjoy and that he will never get comeuppance for it because he sees himself as powerful and invincible, let's just say he was [[KarmicDeath ''DEAD'' wrong.]]]]
** In ''No Time to Die'', [[spoiler:he couldn't resist gloating about his scheme to wreck 007's life even from behind bars by trying to create a wedge between James and Madeleine's relationship]]. [[RageBreakingPoint Guess how Bond reacts to this?]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: In a sense. [[spoiler:Safin launches a successful scheme to kill Blofeld and dismantle Spectre to avenge his family, but Blofeld never mentions him or even seems aware that it could be one of his ''many'' victims coming after him and dies without ever knowing who was responsible.]]
* CainAndAbel: He is the Cain to Bond's Abel, as the latter was taken in by Oberhauser's father after he was orphaned. Also [[MirroredConfrontationShot played with when Bond and Oberhauser meet with a bulletproof glass pane between them in the climax]]. Oberhauser's reflection is projected almost perfectly over Bond's face, highlighting their visual similarities.
** [[spoiler:The roles are reversed in ''No Time To Die'' where Bond interrogates Blofeld in prison -- after losing patience, Bond strangles him momentarily, but relents. In doing so, Bond unwittingly passes on the Heracles virus to Blofeld, which kills him instantly.]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: First named "Franz Oberhauser", he is revealed to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
* CardCarryingVillain: "Me. It was me, James. It's always been me. The author of all your pain."
* TheChessmaster: His plan is to take control of the world's intelligence services by getting an asset in position to propose and implement a global electronic surveillance system through instigating terrorist incidents. As a result, he even manages to put [=MI6=] and Bond briefly out of business and cause more long-term damage to them than his character's previous incarnations.
** Also proclaims to be behind Bond's miseries since ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}''. On another level, much of Oberhauser's claimed plans relied heavily on Bond joining the 00 program, suggesting he had a hand in that as well.
* ClassicVillain: Besides greed, wrath, and ambition, he comes with the additional vice of envy. In his youth, he committed {{patricide}} simply because he resented his father for adopting and adoring Bond over him.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Tortures Bond by drilling holes into various parts of his brain while explaining what effect this is having on him throughout. He takes it to a disturbing level as he's [[FauxAffablyEvil eerily calm]] while doing this. It doesn't actually faze Bond himself that much, because he's, well, 007, but it unnerves Madeleine, especially when he threatens to take away Bond's ability to recognize faces. [[ForTheEvulz He does it]] out of pure sadism and to get a sick kick at Bond's expense.
* ComplexityAddiction: He spends decades plotting to hurt James Bond through a barrage of very twisted individuals and treasonous infiltrators, and it shows its worst in ''No Time To Die'' where [[spoiler:his whole plan as the DiscOneFinalBoss was just to lead Bond to a party in Cuba where he would die of Hercules surrounded by the entirety of SPECTRE's high command laughing at him.]] Unfortunately, he did not expect [[spoiler:the developer of Hercules had been bribed by Safin to program it to kill SPECTRE agents only, leading to his organization being decapitated.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Although he is Blofeld, he has some similarities with [[Film/GoldenEye Alec Trevelyan]] (as in, he is a non-British associate of Bond who was presumed dead, and who later built himself up as the head of a terrorist organization). He is also this (in a roundabout way) to two characters from the books -- [[Literature/OctopussyAndTheLivingDaylights Hannes Oberhauser and Major Smythe]] -- being the son of the former, who was Bond's father figure, and like the latter is [[ItsPersonal the man who killed him]]. Finally, his monologue during the torture scene is almost a direct lift from that of the title character in ''Literature/ColonelSun''.
* {{Cyborg}}: By the time of ''No Time to Die'', he has a [[ElectronicEyes cybernetic eye]], which he uses to [[MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll run Spectre behind bars]].
* DarkIsEvil: Wears dark clothing and is a really nasty DiabolicalMastermind. He's also the darkest incarnation of Blofeld.
* DarkerAndEdgier: He lacks many of the cartoonish supervillain trappings of his predecessors, them being replaced by a totally sociopathic monster who relishes in sheer brutality, personal cruelty, and menace never seen before, combined with chillingly realistic crimes. Gone are the days of campiness. The new SPECTRE he heads-up is a properly cut-throat organization dabbling in human slavery, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and utilizing a massive [[TheMole network of well-equipped agents]] to do its bidding from behind the scenes. What's even worse is that he even [[spoiler:managed to compromise British intelligence via [[TheMole an asset]] who would be able to hand them the crown jewels of the world's spy services on a silver platter, namely the collective intel gathered by all of them, information that they have the capability to act on and utilize regardless of who gets destroyed in the process.]]
** In a way, SPECTRE is this to Quantum. Depending on the interpretation (the film supports both), it's either the warped version of Quantum or its bosses. Either way, Quantum was into PragmaticVillainy, manipulating leaders and natural resources to secure profit and influence for its network. SPECTRE is explicitly involved with bombing cities, human trafficking and other more overt methods. Profit's still in mind, but in a messier, darker way.
* {{Determinator}}:
** He wants to humiliate 007 in any way possible, whether psychological or physical through elaborate revenge schemes and mind games. That's because [[ParentalFavoritism Bond was favoured more by Oberhauser's father]] when the two were younger.
** He's also willing to send goons worldwide to hunt down defectors such as Mr. White just for calling it quits.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Oberhauser seemingly masterminded Bond's miseries since ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' and wants to screw around with his life in any way possible. He's also the head of a NebulousEvilOrganization and even his subordinates are [[TheDreaded clearly terrified]] of what [[BadBoss he could do]], with the Pale King/Mr. White being a good example.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He should have known that sooner or later, one of his countless victims will definitely seek their revenge as he sometimes killed ForTheEvulz. [[spoiler:Just as he killed Safin's family via Mr. White, Safin returns the favor via another proxy -- 007]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: His motive for his vendetta on Bond and creating Spectre was because his father, who adopted James after the death of his parents, liked him more than his own son and forced him to act like a big brother, thus causing Oberhauser to murder his father and fake his own death before starting his criminal empire.
* DissonantSerenity: Eerily calm when torturing Bond and during the Spectre meeting he conducts.
* DomesticAbuse: [[spoiler:Of the more step-brothers variety, but he relentlessly commits psychological, emotional and physical abuse towards Bond, both directly and through SPECTRE's actions, all because his father favoured the latter over him. Even worse, making Bond miserable ''forever'' was what made him happy and wasn't willing to give it up no matter what, to the point it was like an addiction for him.]]
* TheDreaded: His subordinates are ''clearly'' terrified of him; even Mr. White warns Bond of the man's vindictiveness. Naturally, only very few can dare challenge him.
* DrivenByEnvy: The reason he hates Bond so much is that he thinks that Bond was favoured by his father over him. [[spoiler:It's implied he also murdered Safin's parents as they adored their son while his own father favored 007. Murdering Safin's parents ultimately leads to Blofeld's unlamented murder by Safin]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:In ''No Time To Die'', he gets poisoned by James, via a Safin plot and dies with very little fanfare.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Using PsychologicalProjection, Blofeld claims that he and [[spoiler:Max Denbigh/C]] are visionaries, only for Bond to mockingly say that both of them are not "visionaries", but totally insane megalomaniacs. [[YoureInsane "Psychiatric wards are full of them."]]
** Following the FinalBattle, this is his reaction when Bond spares him despite being offered to FinishHim and their CainAndAbel relationship. 007 knows that murdering Blofeld in revenge [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty won't do much]] despite being capable of doing so and instead has him arrested.
* EvilCounterpart: Where [[Film/{{Skyfall}} Silva]] was Bond's, Oberhauser appears to be M's -- the head of a secret organization, and an "older brother" figure to Bond instead of a surrogate mother. Ironically, Silva went after M while Oberhauser went after Bond.
** He also plays the NotSoDifferentRemark card with Bond. Also played with when the two have a MirroredConfrontationShot in the climax. Oberhauser's reflection is projected almost perfectly over Bond's face, highlighting their visual similarities. To drive the parallels home, Blofeld metaphorically serves as a warped reflection of 007, lacking all the qualities Bond has.
* EvilGenius: You try creating the most sophisticated and powerful criminal empire yet under the noses of the world's intelligence agencies entirely from scratch. For all his horribleness, there is no denying he is legitimately brilliant.
* EvilPlan: Oberhauser has been funding the Joint Intelligence Service program from behind the scenes while staging terrorist attacks around the world, creating a need for the Nine Eyes program. In return, [[spoiler:[[TheMole C]]]] will give Spectre unlimited access to intelligence gathered by Nine Eyes, allowing them to [[TheAnticipator anticipate]] and counter-act any investigation into their operations.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: He cruelly mocks Bond when he offers his SadisticChoice to 007 in the climax.
* EvilIsPetty: It's not just his motivations for antagonizing James that are petty, it's his machinations. One of his desires is to remove Bond's ability to recognize faces so he won't recognize Madeleine's. Blofeld's true motivation for what he does to James is because when his father began to treat [[LikeASonToMe James as a second son]], he immediately became jealous of the relationship 007 had with his father.
** [[spoiler:The rift between James and Madeleine in ''No Time To Die'' was his doing. 5 years of no speaking, a loving relationship ruined, a man never finding out about his daughter until she was in danger....because daddy gave James a bit more attention than Franz. Let that sink in.]]
** It's implied [[spoiler:he also murdered Safin's family out of the envy of seeing Safin being adored by his own family. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard This comes back to bite him when Safin indirectly causes Blofeld's murder]].]]
* EvilLaugh: Downplayed. He briefly snickers after offering his SadisticChoice to 007.
* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a darker version of Blofeld's (and Dr. No's) Nehru jacket.
* EyeScream: Gets his trademark scar over his right eye after Madeleine throws Bond's explosive watch at him. Blood can be seen flying off his face as he falls. When the scar is seen later, it's clear that Blofeld can no longer see out of that eye. When 007 asks him about it, he simply shrugs as if nothing unusual happened.
* FatalFlaw: Pettiness. His obsessive need to see 007 suffer through elaborate means due to daddy issues proves to be a major problem.
** [[spoiler:This pettiness is ultimately the reason that he's killed in ''No Time To Die''. Madeleine is blackmailed by Safin into spraying herself with Hercules, a bunch of nano machines programmed to inflict lethal damage to a person who has the targeted DNA sequence, and ''only'' them, allowing for precise, indirect assassination. Madeleine ultimately can't go through with knowingly killing Blofeld, but James accidentally gets some of Hercules on his hands when he grabs her wrist as she's leaving. In the ensuring interrogation Blofeld's constant taunting of James, especially the reveal that he orchestrated the attack on James 5 years ago and intentionally framed Madeleine for it just to drive them apart, drives James to start strangling him and begging Blofeld to die. Though James regains his composure shortly afterwards, The Hercules has already done it's work and Blofeld quietly passes away whilst James is arguing with Bill Tanner over his conduct. Since there were severe visiting restrictions set over Blofeld, including separation distance, Blofeld ultimately has nobody but himself to blame for his demise, because he simply would not ''stop'' his constant [[KickTheDog torment]] of James even for a minute]].
* FakingTheDead: Faked his own death in an avalanche after killing his own father out of jealousy for [[ParentalFavoritism favouring an orphaned Bond over him]] when both were younger.
* FalseFlagOperation: Every nation mentioned to have suffered a terrorist incident in the time frame of the film is either a member of or fairly close to a member nation of the council that is voting on the Nine Eyes program. When South Africa vetoes the program, they suffer a terrorist incident that makes them reconsider their position within a matter of days. [[spoiler:This is because Blofeld wants the Nine Eyes system to go live as C is providing them with backdoor access.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He is eerily calm and pleasant even when he berates and tortures Bond.
* {{Foil}}: To Safin in ''No Time to Die''. Safin uses PragmaticVillainy by averting the BondVillainStupidity flaw that previous Bond villains fell to via their EvilGloating. Furthermore, Safin [[spoiler:genuinely cared about his family and acts in revenge for their deaths, but Blofeld cared only for himself and killed his father for believing he was TheUnfavourite out of sheer jealousy and pettiness]]. Also, while Blofeld is a NonActionBigBad, Safin is more than capable of killing people physically. And while Blofeld was a central figure from Bond's past and devoted his life to making Bond suffer, Safin has no personal animosity towards Bond. Posthumously, Safin has succeeded in the one thing that Blofeld himself failed at: [[spoiler:killing James Bond]].
* ForcedToWatch: Oberhauser forces Madeleine to watch Bond tortured by a MindProbe and before that, shows her the recording of her father's conversation with Bond before shooting himself. Subverted in the latter case, as Bond manages to get her to look at him instead of the screen.
* ForTheEvulz: He made his life's mission to not only [[ItsAllAboutMe orchestrate total chaos]] just for his own benefit, but to wreck Bond's life to further punish him for being favoured more by his father.
** [[spoiler:In ''No Time To Die'', this is also possibly why he had [[BigBad Safin's]] family killed via Mr. White. It's possible he may have done that out of petty jealousy that Safin was adored by his own family while his parents adored Bond instead.]]
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He's made his life's mission to screw Bond at every turn [[FreudianExcuse because]] his dad paid more attention to Bond than him when they were in their teens, causing him to commit {{patricide}} out of envy. However, it's negated by the fact that he did it out of pure malice and not because of something that drove him to snap. It doesn't change or is even unconnected to the many atrocities he committed all on his own as an adult. His repeated attempts to mock Bond for his past failures in the climax just because he felt neglected really shows how he is nothing more than an irredeemable monster.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from being the son of an Austrian ski instructor to the head of a terrifying criminal syndicate.
* GetItOverWith: At the climax, Blofeld tells Bond to kill him when both his plot is foiled and his attempted escape thwarted. Bond hesitates, [[NotWorthKilling but ultimately puts down his gun and lets Blofeld be arrested]], fully aware that stooping to Blofeld's level won't help anything.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: See RedRightHand. Following the destruction of his Moroccan lair, Oberhauser sports a raw version of Donald Pleasance's iconic facial scar.
* GracefulLoser: Subverted. Although he seemed to accept his capture with resignation at the end of ''Spectre'', that [[SoreLoser still didn't stop him]] from wrecking Bond's life even from behind bars in ''No Time To Die''. [[spoiler:This pettiness is what ultimately kills him for good]].
* GreaterScopeVillain: He proclaims to be behind Bond's troubles, and wants to toy around with it in any way possible. All of Bond's enemies ([[spoiler:C/Max Denbigh]], The Pale King/[[spoiler:Mr. White]], Raoul Silva, Dominic Greene and Le Chiffre) were working for him; not only this, he EVEN claims to have orchestrated the deaths of [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Vesper]] and [[Film/{{Skyfall}} M]].
** This continues into ''No Time To Die'' when it's revealed he [[spoiler:arranged for the murder of [[BigBad Safin]]'s family, and is thus indirectly responsible for Safin's actions in the film, including his own death and that of Bond.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He became envious of the attention 007 received from his father, causing him to commit {{Patricide}}.
** In ''No Time to Die'', [[spoiler:it's implied the reason why he had Safin's parents murdered was that he felt envious that Safin was adored by his own family while his parents adored Bond instead]].
* HannibalLecture: Gives a harsh one to Bond when they meet in the Saharan facility, where [[CardCarryingVillain he talks about being "the author of 007's pain"]]. His ReasonYouSuckSpeech against Bond in the climax also counts as well.
* HiddenVillain: Claims to be responsible for Bond's miseries since ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', and even says it word-for-word.
* HijackedByGanon: Blofeld was TheManBehindTheMan for [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Le Chiffre, Mr. White]], [[Film/{{Quantum|Of Solace}} Dominic Greene]] and [[Film/{{Skyfall}} Raoul Silva]]. Interestingly, this is James Bond's first time facing Spectre in this timeline, making it only a meta-example.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In spades. [[spoiler:He tries to use a poison engineered specifically to kill Bond. But Safin, whose family Blofeld had murdered decades prior, interferes and adjusts it to target Blofeld and Spectre. The poison gets on Bond, who later chokes Blofeld, who couldn't resist revealing how he drove Bond and Madeline apart, causing the poison to kill Blofeld almost instantly. In short, Blofeld was killed with own weapon through a scheme he orchestrated, and largely due to him revealing he simply couldn't resist hurting Bond and taunting him. The poison also ends up destroying his own organization to boot, and all by someone who he set on the path to villainy decades earlier.]]
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Oberhauser's entire plan was ultimately to force this trope on Bond via a TraumaCongaLine. Instead, Bond turns things around by wrecking his primary base of operations, depriving him of his resources and network, leaving him battered and at the mercy of the British government, then refuses to kill him, instead letting him get a view of Bond and Madeleine having [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned their happy ending]]. [[spoiler:It didn't stop this madman from wrecking his foster brother's life even from jail, as shown in ''No Time To Die'']].
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He developed an IrrationalHatred of 007 just because his father paid more attention to Bond than him when they were in their teens. DrivenByEnvy, he commits {{Patricide}} out of a selfish desire to get more affection than his foster brother.
* InterfaceSpoiler: For ''Spectre'', if you decide to watch it for the first time in Blu-Ray, you had better not activate the English subtitles, because they will refer to Oberhauser as Blofeld as early as his very first scene.
* IrrationalHatred: Oberhauser despises 007 just for being favoured more by his father when both were in their teens. Bond even chews him out for committing {{Patricide}} for this minor reason.
* IronicEcho: To Mr. White's "we have people everywhere" taunt. Oberhauser does it to the extent that it has forced Mr. White into laying low.
* {{Irony}}: In the classic sense. Bond assumed Blofeld is dead after the SPECTRE base explodes, [[FreezeFrameBonus but viewers saw cars fleeing the explosion]] as Bond flew away in the opposite direction.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He murdered his own father out of a selfish desire to get more affection than his foster brother. As an adult, he's even worse, orchestrating massive amounts of wanton violence for his own benefit and inflicting horrible pain on Bond just for being favoured by Oberhauser's father.
* ItsPersonal: When he and Bond finally meet face-to-face, it's quite clear that despite his composure, he really wants Bond dead due to their CainAndAbel situation.
* {{Jerkass}}: It takes a special kind of an asshole to be a BigBrotherBully towards their step-brother as [[ParentalFavoritism said asshole's father favoured Bond over him]]. He even committed {{Patricide}} just because his father favoured his his foster brother.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Oberhauser sends a vintage luxury car to pick up Bond and Madeleine, gives them exquisite quarters in his lodgings, and serves them drinks. He then reveals that Spectre has been funding the "Joint Intelligence Service" program from behind the scenes while staging terrorist attacks around the world, creating a need for the "Nine Eyes" surveillance system. In return, [[spoiler:C]] will give Spectre unlimited access to intelligence gathered by Nine Eyes, allowing them to [[TheAnticipator anticipate]] and counter-act any investigation into their operations. Oberhauser later reveals that [[TheChessmaster he is the one responsible]] for many of Bond's tragedies.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He had Safin's family killed and his henchman (Mr. White) used a poisonous agent to do it. Safin has Blofeld and his organization killed with poison in return.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: With Blofeld not only being revealed as the mastermind behind everything since ''Casino Royale'', but also Bond's adopted brother who killed his own father out of jealousy for the time he spent with Bond, drills holes into Bond's head as torture and forces him into a SadisticChoice in which Bond has to save Madeleine from the former [=MI6=] building in three minutes before the demolition explosives go off. Disturbingly enough, [[AdaptationalVillainy he is the darkest version of Blofeld]], as he is far more ruthless than his previous incarnations. As far as SPECTRE is concerned, the rebooted version is more of a CovertGroup lacking the cartoonish supervillain trappings its previous version had, instead focusing in chillingly realistic crimes such as slavery, terrorism, regime change, and utilizing a massive [[TheMole network of well-equipped agents]] to do its bidding from behind the scenes. Arguably, this version of Blofeld is one of the darkest villains in the Bond franchise, as his brutality rivals that of Zorin or Onatopp.
* LackOfEmpathy: Oberhauser didn't show any remorse even when he spitefully killed his own father nor does he during any of his other vile deeds.
* LeanAndMean: While he's quite skinny, he is actually quite the petty sadist who created SPECTRE just to wreck his foster brother's life.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Oberhauser's "It's been a long time. And finally, here we are." is as much about SPECTRE returning to the Bond franchise as 007 and Oberhauser/Blofeld being reunited.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: If we're going by the newspaper article about his father's death, it's shown that Hannes was a NiceGuy towards his neighbors and son, and a stark contrast to Franz, who later became a psychopath.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In the climax, when Bond asks him about the horrid facial scar he received courtesy of his explosive exit in the Saharan base, Blofeld shrugs it off as if nothing unusual happened.
* MeaningfulRename: He renames himself Blofeld after murdering his own father out of pure envy, despite using his professional name.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: While he's locked in Belmarsh Prison as of ''No Time to Die'', he still runs Spectre from there, communicating with them via his {{electronic eye|s}}.
* MirroredConfrontationShot: [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/3/3c/Spectre_-_007_and_scarred_Blofeld.png/revision/latest?cb=20160307142424 A literal example]] of this occurs in the final showdown between him and 007, showing their facial similarities. Being an EvilCounterpart and ShadowArchetype of 007, it shows.
* MotiveRant: Gives one of these when torturing Bond. It culminates in him reintroducing himself to Bond as [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Ernst Stavro Blofeld]].
-->'''Oberhauser:''' You know what happens when a cuckoo hatches inside another bird's nest?\\
'''Madeleine Swann:''' Yes -- it forces the other eggs out.\\
'''Oberhauser:''' Yes. ''[pointing to 007]'' Well, this "cuckoo" made me realize my father's life had to end. In a way, he's responsible for the path I took. ''[turns to Bond]'' So thank you, ''cuckoo''!\\
'''Bond:''' Do you know any other bird calls, Franz? ''[sarcastically chuckles; Blofeld's cat jumps up on his lap]'' Hello, pussy.\\
'''Oberhauser:''' [[ThatManIsDead Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago]], James, in an avalanche alongside his father. [[WhamLine The man you're talking to now, the man inside your head...]] ''[[CanonCharacterAllAlong is]]'' [[HijackedByGanon Ernst Stavro Blofeld.]] ''[strokes his cat]''
* MythologyGag:
** He is introduced in a similar manner to how he was back during the Sean Connery films, with his face heavily obscured. The SPECTRE meeting runs a little bit deadly for one of its members, just as it did in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' and ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', the other members are discussing the death of one of their own and the plots being carried out worldwide, and Oberhauser/Blofeld's face not shown.
** He at one point wears a darker version of Blofeld's (and Dr. No's) Nehru jacket, just as he did in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''. He gets the trademark scar Donald Pleasence's version had, courtesy of Bond's exploding watch, and his SupervillainLair in Morocco is based in a geological crater like the one in YOLT.
* NearVillainVictory: In ''Spectre'', if it weren't for Bond realizing that [[spoiler:[[TheMole C was working for Blofeld]] and relaying this info to M, C would've managed to get the Nine Eyes program implemented]] and Blofeld would have succeeded in taking over all of the world's intelligence systems and further humiliating 007.
** In ''No Time To Die'', Blofeld kidnapped the scientist Obruchev in hopes of using his nanobots program as a means of trapping and murdering Bond at a SPECTRE party in Cuba, free himself from custody, and take over the world. Though he succeeded in trapping Bond at the party, Blofeld never anticipated the fact that Obruchev was actually working for Safin, and that on Safin's orders, Obruchev secretly reprogrammed the nanobots to murder all of the SPECTRE members.
* NeverMyFault: Blames Bond for creating a wedge between him and his father, and the path he chose, when in reality, he himself is responsible for the choices he made.
* [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing it, Franz]]: Good job, Blofeld. Pinning Bond's arms behind him on the torture chair gives him the opportunity to rig the explosive alarm on his watch, which he then hands it to Madeline for her to toss at you.
* NomDeMom: "Blofeld" is revealed to be his mother's maiden name.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Oberhauser sends a vintage luxury car to pick up Bond and Madeleine, gives them exquisite quarters in his lodgings, and serves them drinks. He's still planning to torture and kill them, as it's a FauxAffablyEvil approach to a mind game, mainly because of his ItsPersonal relationship with Bond.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Bond takes this view of Oberhauser. He refers to him as the "recently deceased leader of Spectre" when talking to M, after the attack on the Morocco base.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: He plays this card with 007.
** Later on, he attempts to goad Bond into killing him when he's cornered, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood wrongly assuming]] it'll make him cross the HeWhoFightsMonsters line, but Bond refuses and has him arrested instead, not wanting to sink to his level.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: While being held captive by [=MI6=] for several years, he hoodwinked everyone into believing he was an insane nutjob rambling to himself, when in reality he was giving orders to Spectre through his bionic eye.
* OhCrap: Blofeld himself when he realizes his helicopter is about to crash near Westminster. It's the only time in ''Spectre'' when his [[VillainousBreakdown calm and collected demeanour slips]].
* {{Patricide}}: He killed his own father out of [[TheResenter resentment]] and [[DrivenByEnvy jealousy]] for favouring Bond over him.
* PersonalEffectsReveal: The reveal about the CainAndAbel relationship between Bond and Oberhauser is foreshadowed by a mysterious photo recovered from the ruins of [[Film/{{Skyfall}} Skyfall]] (Bond's ancestral home), along with a legal order giving a man named "Oberhauser" temporary custody of 12-year-old James.
* PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: He's a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] SoftSpokenSadist compared to Bond, who's more of a {{Revenge}}-seeking KnightInSourArmor.
* PsychopathicManchild: Type C. Despite being a very powerful crime lord, he acts as an immature BigBrotherBully towards Bond when they're reacquainted. [[FreudianExcuse His villainy]] came from Bond supposedly receiving more endearment as his foster brother, something which he still hasn't outgrown from.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives Bond a very harsh one in the climax of ''Spectre'', considering how he was behind all of Bond's miseries since they were in their teens. It nearly causes Bond to cross the DespairEventHorizon, but he gets better.
* RedRightHand:
** Following the destruction of his Moroccan lair, he sports a raw version of Donald Pleasance's iconic facial scar and disfigured face, and is also partially blind as well.
** He has a pretty unsettling empty eye socket as of ''No Time To Die'' when Bond visits him in his prison.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In a huge break from the original canon, he is Bond's older but estranged foster brother.
* TheResenter: The fact that his father loved Bond was enough to make Oberhauser kill him and destroy Bond's life.
* RightHandCat: Just as Blofeld has returned in the films, so has his fluffy white cat.
* RuleOfSymbolism: Several here.
** In his SupervillainLair, when he and Bond talk about the meteorite hitting Earth, they're really talking about the relationship between the two.
** The CutSong "Spectre" by Radiohead, TheTeaser, and the ArcWords of the film ("The dead are alive") all use the motif of ghosts. Like a specter, Blofeld haunted Bond by orchestrating the numerous tragedies 007 faced over the years. He also cultivates the [[MeaningfulName image of phantoms]] as a way to tilt events to his favour from behind the scenes through his henchmen like his predecessors.
** He mockingly calls Bond a "cuckoo in the nest" for disrupting the happiness of Oberhauser's family life, causing Franz to kill his own father out of resentment.
** Bond finds a photo that features him as a boy with his long-deceased mentor and another boy, [[PlotBasedPhotographObfuscation but the 2nd boy's face is not shown as part of the photo has been charred.]] This not only foreshadows his CainAndAbel relationship with Blofeld, but also the damage to Blofeld's face when the watch blows up. A full copy of the original photo is later seen at Blofeld's base.
* {{Sadist}}: Disturbingly enough, he is the darkest incarnation of Blofeld. He's already given enough abuse on his foster brother, and the fact that he does ColdBloodedTorture on 007 really shows [[KnightOfCerebus his intensely malicious nature.]] While doing this, he remains [[DissonantSerenity eerily calm]] and [[FauxAffablyEvil soft]], trying to weaken 007's morale in any way possible. To twist the knife even further, he even rubs Bond's past failures in his face several times.
** [[spoiler:This gets worse, when it's revealed in ''No Time To Die'' that he was the one to have [[BigBad Safin's]] family killed, implied to be merely to fulfil his sadism out of sheer boredom, implying that ruining lives of innocents is like a favourite hobby for him.]]
* SadisticChoice: After activating a 3-minute time bomb in the climax, he gives Bond the choice of either saving Madeleine and risk dying from the explosion, or saving himself but [[DespairEventHorizon living with the despair]] and [[MyGreatestFailure guilt of not saving Madeleine in time for the rest of his life]]. But Bond being Bond, he TookAThirdOption by not only saving Madeleine in time, but also giving chase to Blofeld on a speedboat he saw earlier. This is just another effort by Blofeld to humiliate 007 mentally.
* SatanicArchetype: This version of Blofeld has shades of this. Just as Satan rebelled against God out of pride, leads an army of demons, and is actively dedicated to oppose God at all costs, Blofeld killed his own father out of pure envy, leads an army of mooks to manipulate events, and wants to spite Bond in any way, be it psychological or physical. He also doesn't see anything wrong in hurting countless innocents in a bid to gain more power or relishing in sadistic torture. Even his lairs in Rome and Morocco are dimly lit to show the true evil in SPECTRE, and obviously have hellish connotations to them as well.
* SequelAdaptationIconicVillain: He's James Bond's ArchEnemy and most well-known villain in both the books and original film series, yet he doesn't show up until the fourth installment in the reboot series.
* ShutUpHannibal: When Oberhauser claims that he and [[spoiler:C]] are "visionaries," Bond sarcastically retorts that they're not visionaries, but totally insane nutjobs.
** Later on, when he subjects Bond to ColdBloodedTorture and gives his MotiveRant, 007 simply tells him to GetItOverWith and has Madeleine toss his explosive watch at Blofeld.
* SkewedPriorities: [[spoiler:After all the members of SPECTRE are killed by the Heracles virus (orchestrated by Safin), Blofeld doesn't care who did it and is more concerned about torturing Bond even more for his own amusement.]]
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: SPECTRE dabbles in slavery. During the meeting, the only presentation that the audience gets to hear in full is a progress report about the success of their SexSlave operations and the ''160,000'' women they have placed so far. Their crimes against humanity is what not only repulsed Bond, [[spoiler:[[EvenEvilHasStandards it also forced Mr. White to quit SPECTRE]].]]
* SlasherSmile: Gives a particularly sadistic PsychoticSmirk when he tortures Bond, and later on, when he offers his SadisticChoice.
* SmugSnake: Doesn't hold Bond in high regards and goes to great lengths to make his life miserable in any way. It costs him dearly, first by losing an eye and scarring his face, and in the chase scene during the climax, fracturing his leg in a helicopter crash.
* TheSocialDarwinist: His [[AnimalMetaphor "cuckoo"]] speech to Madeleine has shades of this, telling how a cuckoo pushes the eggs of other birds out of a nest.
* TheSociopath: Obviously, [[AdaptationalJerkass but he's]] far more evil than his previous versions. He committed {{patricide}} out of pure malice, [[DisproportionateRetribution and wrecked havoc]] on Bond's life since ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' due to his IrrationalHatred, yet he blames 007 for creating a wedge between him and his father (when it was the other way around). But still, he remains [[DissonantSerenity surprisingly but disturbingly calm]] throughout this. This petty obsession to destroy 007 via elaborate mind-games just for being favoured more by his father, combined with running a NebulousEvilOrganization bent on condemning millions to chaos for his own {{Greed}}, shows how he is a textbook psychopathic monster, totally rotten to the core with no empathy for those who get in his way.
* SoftSpokenSadist: As befits [[Creator/ChristophWaltz his actor]] as well as his previous incarnations.
* TheSpymaster: He effectively is an evil version. Blofeld is running assets such as [[spoiler:"C"]] who attempts to help him take control over the intel gathered by the world's intelligence services by implementing a electronic surveillance system that Spectre can access 24/7. With this, Spectre could use it to counteract any investigation into their operations, and they intend to do so via a series of [[FalseFlagOperation false flag terrorist attacks]].
* TheStoic: He has an [[FauxAffablyEvil eerily and disturbingly calm and collected]] demeanour, whether it's torturing his enemies or hosting the Spectre meetings he conducts.
* StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: After the climatic FinalBattle, he [[GetItOverWith attempts to invoke]] this in an attempt to break 007's morale. But Bond, not wanting to sink to Blofeld's level, simply states [[NotWorthKilling that he's "out of bullets" and tosses his gun away]] so Blofeld can be taken into custody, leaving him [[EvilCannotComprehendGood confused]] at 007's rationale to spare him despite their CainAndAbel relationship.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The newspaper article about Hannes Oberhauser's death shows Blofeld sharing some of his dad's facial features.
* SupervillainLair: He has two:
** The SPECTRE meeting he hosts in Rome is inside a palace. It's very similar to the one in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', with SPECTRE's bigwigs [[CorruptCorporateExecutive describing the profit they're getting from their global illicit operations]], one of their members getting killed for insubordination, [[CovertGroupWithMundaneFront the meeting being held in a prestigious location]], [[HiddenVillain and Blofeld hiding in the shadows]].
** His base in the Saharan desert is a high-tech satellite relay station and server farm that also has an observatory and high-end guest quarters. It's also built inside a crater, reminiscent of the volcano lair in YOLT.
* ThatManIsDead: Oberhauser still uses his birth name professionally despite having faked his death many years earlier, but he considers that man to have actually died. He truly identifies himself as "Ernst Stavro Blofeld".
-->'''Oberhauser:''' Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago, in an avalanche together with his father. The man you're talking to now, the man inside your head... is Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
* TermsOfEndangerment: He frequently calls Bond a "cuckoo" because the latter was [[ParentalFavoritism favoured by Oberhauser's father]] when they were younger.
* ToThePain: He tortures Bond by drilling holes into various parts of his brain while explaining what effect this is having on him throughout. It doesn't actually faze Bond himself that much, but it greatly disturbs Madeleine, especially when he threatens to take away Bond's ability to recognize faces.
* TortureTechnician: Tortures Bond by [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable strapping him to a high-tech version of a dentist chair]] and drilling holes into various parts of his brain while explaining what effect this is having on him throughout. He's [[FauxAffablyEvil disturbingly calm throughout this]], especially when he threatens to take away Bond's ability to recognize faces.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: He's unfazed even when he's berating and torturing Bond, having one of his henchmen killed off during the Spectre meeting, committing {{patricide}} out of pure malice, or when 007 has him at his mercy.
* VillainousValour: Even after his plans backfire, Oberhauser attempts to goad Bond into shooting him without a shred of fear or remorse.
* WalkingSpoiler: Oberhauser is not only revealed to be Bond's foster brother, but also changed his name to [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], SPECTRE's nefarious leader. He chose this route just because his father favoured an orphaned Bond over him, causing him to orchestrate all of the tragedies Bond faced since ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', making him the true villain of the Creator/DanielCraig era.
* WeWillMeetAgain: Gives Bond a menacing look when he's spared, [[SequelHook indicating that he will plan for his revenge]].
* WhamLine: "Me. It was all me, James. It's always been me. [[GreaterScopeVillain The author of all your pain]]!"
** "Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago, in an avalanche together with his father. The man you're talking to now, the man inside your head... is Ernst Stavro Blofeld." Punctuated even more by the fact that he strokes his pet cat as he says it.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: He [[{{Sadist}} relishes]] in [[EvilIsPetty seeing 007 suffer]], whether by torturing him or by playing mind-games, but this also proves to be [[BondVillainStupidity a big problem.]] He had many opportunities to off Bond, but his tendency to concoct elaborate revenge schemes against 007 due to their CainAndAbel situation proves to be one of his {{Fatal Flaw}}s in ''Spectre'', alongside his [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated ego]].
* WickedCultured: Claims to be behind Bond's troubles since ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', yet has a large meteorite called "Kartenhoff" in his possession, and as with all of his previous incarnations, has a fluffy RightHandCat and enormous amounts of wealth from his illegal operations.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Not physically but [[OutGambitted mentally bested]] by Safin, who counters Blofeld's decades of calculated, theatrical plotting to "break" James with a revenge plan of his own that is practical, elegant and diabolically simple -- he infects Madeline with a Heracles virus micro-targeted to Blofeld. Even if she doesn't spread it to him directly, it will still lay dormant and pass to other people who are likely to contact Blofeld, most likely Bond. Sure enough, Bond touches Swann, and then [[BatmanGambit chokes Blofeld because Blofeld couldn't resist twisting the knife in James]]. With one stroke, Safin's enemy is instantly dead, never guessing who killed him or why.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:It's revealed in ''No Time To Die'', he was the one who got Safin's family killed via Mr. White. Safin nearly died from the poison attack which left him disfigured as child, implying that Blofeld didn't care about poisoning a young boy as well. Even worse Safin and his family had ''nothing'' to do with Blofeld's vendetta against Bond, which is even more horrifying.]]
* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: Oberhauser shows off Spectre's surveillance abilities by replaying Mr. White's last moments to Madeleine.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Does this to a Spectre member who was supposed to replace Marco Sciarra, and to the Pale King (a.k.a. Mr. White) after he quit the organization and is now fighting for his life.
* YoureInsane: Bond's ShutUpHannibal response is basically this, when he calls out Blofeld for his EvilPlan.
** This quote is virtually similar to the one 007 gave to [[Film/DrNo Dr. No]]: "World domination. Same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think [[NapoleonDelusion they're Napoleon]]. [[AGodAmI Or God]]."

!!Ronno
[[quoteright:302:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronno219.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:302:[[labelnote:Click here to see him as a yearling]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronno_original.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Anthony Ghannam (''WesternAnimation/BambiII''); Pierre Casanova ([[UsefulNotes/FrenchLanguage European French]] dub)

->''"Don't feel bad. If we didn't have cowards, we couldn't tell who the brave ones are."''

Bambi's [[TheRival rival]]. He started out as an arrogant, self-centered, and insufferable bully when they initially meet as fawns, and later grows up into a hulking and hostile buck who fights Bambi over the right to have Faline for himself.

* AbledInTheAdaptation: In the novel, Ronno has a lame leg due to surviving a gunshot. In the movies, he lacks any disabilities in order to be more of a rival to Bambi.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Ronno has some degree of feelings (or at least lust) for Faline, who is annoyed by him at best and otherwise outright dislikes him.
* TheAce: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He thinks of himself as such and the film makes him seem like he'd have this potential. But when push comes to shove, he's a cowardly bully who'd rather flee from a dire situation to save his own skin than take the initiative to help.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He has brown eyes in the original, but in the midquel he has green eyes, probably to help further distinguish him from Bambi and to [[GreenEyedMonster subtly establish his personality]].
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Ronno in the movies has little in common with his character in the novel. His novel counterpart was Bambi's friend (at first) and was already grown up by the time Bambi was born, and while he got aggressive towards Bambi during mating season, he wasn't a sociopathic bully like the midquel depicted, much less the vicious and near mindless [[FlatCharacter blank slate of a brute]] that the original movie depicted him as either. The midquel in particular [[SameCharacterButDifferent alters his personality so drastically]] that a new viewer would be forgiven for thinking that he was simply a new character created for it.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like with Bambi, he was a roe deer in the book, but was changed into a white-tailed deer for the movies since roe deer don't live in the states.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the novel, he was actually Bambi's friend until the latter matured and became a rival for does. In both movies, he's a rival and enemy of Bambi out of the starting gate.
* AesopAmnesia: Pissing off the Young Prince at his lowest point was ''not'' a smart move on his part, to say the least. During the events on the midquel, he drove Bambi to [[RageBreakingPoint uncharacteristic rage]] by insulting his lineage, which got him beaten up immediately and started off a chain reaction of events that nearly got Bambi and his stepmother killed while exposing Ronno for the coward he is when he runs off from the threat of Man. Instead of learning his lesson from this, Ronno doubles down on his resolve and [[WeWillMeetAgain swears revenge on Bambi]], which culminates in them fighting again once Ronno is fully grown up...which ends with him getting his flank handed to him yet again by an also fully grown up Bambi, and completely galvanises Faline's love for the latter. DidntThinkThisThrough does not describe how much he screwed the pooch by making the Young Prince his worst enemy.
* AgeLift: In the novel, he is implied to be several years older than Bambi. In the midquel film, he is only slighter older than Bambi.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: [[{{Irony}} Despite being a bully himself]], Ronno is basically an outcast from the other animals, though its for reasons be brought on himself for his lousy personality rather than being arbitrarily ostracized.
* AllThereInTheScript: Even though his name is never given in the first film proper, he is still named in character design material for the first film, and he is likewise named dropped in the Dell Comic and manga adaptations.
* AlphaBastard: Apart from the fact that he's not a highschooler, he acts like this {{trope}} because of his arrogance and tendency to look down on others, ''especially'' in regards to Bambi.
* AlwaysSecondBest: A partial reason for his growing hatred of Bambi in the midquel, growing rather competitive around him in terms of athleticism and skill.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's an even match for Bambi in combat as a fawn, but as they grow up, Bambi eventually turns the odds in his favor. But in terms of popularity among the animals, its absolutely inverted; Bambi is far more popular and successful in his goals than Ronno ever was or will ever hope to be.
* AmbiguousSituation: As a result of the midquel having Ronno swearing revenge, his and Bambi's meeting as yearlings, with neither Bambi recognizing Ronno or Ronno reacting to Bambi's name, raises the question if they even recognized each other as old rivals, if Ronno had completely forgotten about Bambi or if he had completely moved past his rivalry and was more focused on the fact that it was the mating season.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: In the original film at least. The only reason he and Bambi come into conflict is because the latter followed Faline into the former's territory, which is how battles between white-tailed bucks happen during the mating season. The midquel, as well as Tezuka's manga adaptation, throws out any ambiguity by showing that even as a fawn, he was basically a sociopath in the making.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Almost everything Ronno does in the midquel is motivated by his desire to come out on top of his petty jealousy-fueled rivalry with Bambi, and given it '''never''' works out in his favor, its meant to show that his ruthless and selfish attitude is absolutely no way to get through life.
* AmusingInjuries: He's a frequent recipient of these due to his KarmicButtMonkey status in the midquel.
* AntiClimax: Despite being the closest thing the midquel has to an on-screen antagonist (not counting Man's dogs, who are personality-less extensions of Man's will), his fight with Bambi was anything but spectacular. The latter actually manages to get the upper hand over him for most of it, and the fight technically ends in a draw after Ronno flees the scene due to the sudden arrival of Man (though Bambi is clearly the moral victor of it).
* AntiRoleModel: As a fawn, his whole role in the midquel basically exists to spell out how having an arrogant, entitled and haughty macho attitude is absolutely no way to get through life in contrast to Bambi's altruism and sincere efforts to earn his victories, and he is a boorish, sociopathic, and all-around-awful person.
* AntiVillain: Initially, if you [[AmbiguouslyEvil interpret him as being a villain]] in the first film and not take the midquel and other tie-ins into account. He's presented as a very agressive buck that Bambi unwittingly set off by wandering into his territory, prompting Ronno and Bambi to fight over Faline. This might seem evil to a normal person, but this is [[TruthInTelevision actually typical behaviour for real life deer]] (and is also accurate to how the other bucks treated Bambi in the novel as he got older). The Dell Comic adaptation (where, unlike the movie, he's given bits of dialogue) slightly humanizes these traits by [[AdaptationalVillainy explicitly presenting him as a villain]] who is out to claim Faline as his own, [[EntitledToHaveYou regardless of whether she wants to be his mate or not]]. Tezuka's manga adaptation also establishes that even as a fawn, he was a jerk and a bully towards Bambi in [[ToxicFriendInfluence the guise of a friend]]. The midquel follows this and [[RetCon retcons]] Ronno's behaviour in the first film by having him be an arrogant bully who treated Faline this way since he was a fawn, and also having his motive for fighting linked with his bitter childhood rivalry with Bambi.
* ArchEnemy: For Bambi. The two clash with each other due to Bambi's [[NiceGuy strong moral compass]] and Ronno's complete and utter lack of such. Plus Bambi's usually on the receiving end of Ronno's bullying.
* ArcVillain: The midquel retroactively makes Ronno one for Bambi. While not the main villain of the movies, he's the closest thing they have to an on-screen antagonist.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He has mildly impressive athletic prowess for a fawn, and an unjustifably high opinion of himself as a result of it.
* AscendedExtra: He was just a brief rival for Bambi in one scene of the original film and had miminal characterization and no dialogue. In the midquel, he's a fully fledged antagonist who appears in several scenes. Osamu Tezuka's manga adaptation also gives his fawn form a more prominent role, though nowhere to the extent of the midquel.
* AssholeVictim: Aside from some mildly dorkish qualities in his introduction (which in itself is a transparently insincere act done to try and get others to pay attention to him), there is absolutely ''nothing'' about him that's close to sympathetic. He's a slimy, amoral bully who cares for no one but himself. Him running away in fear of Man, his many pitiful pratfalls and love of his mother do not make him sympathetic whatsoever, and the former just exhibits how selfless Bambi really is in comparison by risking his life to save his would-be stepmom. As such, whenever bad things happen to Ronno, the audience can't help but derive amusement if not downright catharsis from his suffering, as he's a complete dickhead who deserves to be punished for his actions.
* AttemptedRape: Implied in the first film, when he forces Faline away from Bambi. Luckily for her, Bambi's quick to put a stop to it.
* AttentionWhore: Ronno is very self-centered, so he desperately craves attention. His first scene in the midquel has him rudely try to draw as much attention to himself as possible by scaring the Groundhog for laughs and showing off to the others in an attempt to make friends with them. Later on, when Ronno is showing off to a clearly unimpressed Faline, she is drawn away by the yelling of an injured Bambi, and Ronno is clearly aggravated over this.
-->'''Ronno:''' "Hey! I wasn't finished talking about me!"
* AxCrazy: As an adult. Ronno was willing to ''kill'' Bambi and ([[ImpliedTrope possibly]]) ''rape'' Faline.
* BadassAdorable: As a fawn, he is somewhat adorable in appearance and can put up a fight when he wants to (key word being when he ''wants'' to).
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: The midquel fleshes out Ronno and Bambi's rivalry akin to this. Ronno's introduction and StartOfDarkness coincides with (and usually pivots) much of Bambi's HeroesFrontierStep and CharacterDevelopment.
* BarbaricBully: Not so much as a fawn, but he definetely becomes this once he becomes a yearling.
%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Going hand in hand with his short temper and big ego, do ''not'' call him a liar, and ''especially'' do not fire the first shot in a fight against him, accidentally or otherwise.
* BestServedCold:
** In the midquel, he waits until Bambi is at his lowest emotional point before insulting his heritage to goad him into a fight, arrogantly believing he has the advantage. [[RageBreakingPoint It quickly backfires on him]] ''[[SummonBiggerFish big time]]''.
** As a adult, when he's much physically stronger than when he and his rival were fawns, he wastes no time trying to force himself on Faline and drive Bambi away, and then fighting him when he refuses to back down. Once again, it completely backfires on him as Bambi still proves himself his superior in combat.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In the midquel, Ronno is a pitiful KarmicButtMonkey who suffers many a pratfall, but even as a fawn he shows signs of the savage brute that he grows into in the original movie.
* BeingEvilSucks: Ronno's bullying attitude [[HisOwnWorstEnemy is his own undoing]] and ensures that he never forms any real friendships or gets any respect from others. If anything, it just keeps feeding back into itself to ensure he stays the same awful person he is up until adulthood.
* BetaTestBaddie: His whole motivation for bullying Bambi and others stems from his InferioritySuperiorityComplex towards him.
* BigBad: While [[GreaterScopeVillain Man]] is unquestionably the real menace to the animals, Ronno serves as the tangible main antagonist of the midquel and, ironically, gets far more focus in it than the threat of Man.
* BigBadEnsemble: With [[GreaterScopeVillain Man]] in the midquel, though Ronno curiously gets more plot focus than the former in it.
* BigBadSlippage: Ronno doesn't necessarily start off as an ''evil'' person, just a mild pest. It isn't until the climax of the midquel that he truly descends into being a villain.
* BigBadWannabe: That being said, Ronno isn't really much of a threat to Bambi at first, at most a petty bully and nuisance who is more talk than show. It isn't until their rivalry becomes personal by the midquel's climax that he really earns this, and even there he's immediately upstaged in terms of being a threat by the sudden presence of Man.
* BitCharacter: In the original movie, he has about two minutes of screentime and no lines, and just serves as a personified obstacle for Bambi to overcome. The midquel gives him a notably more prominent role and a more fleshed out personality.
* BitPartBadGuy: In ths original movie, he's just another obstacle for Bambi to deal with for a couple of minutes.
* BlatantLies: While it is possible he did learn about how Man makes their deer calls by spying on them, his story about bravely taking on Man head-on is undeniably false, especially when he runs away in terror at the very ''idea'' of confronting Man later in the midquel. Faline doesn't buy his story for a second (though Bambi is naive enough to buy it).
* BoisterousBruiser: Ronno is a fighter, and has the loudmouth and arrogance to go with it.
* BornUnlucky: ''Nothing'' ever goes right for Ronno, whether it's because of [[KarmicButtMonkey swift karma for his actions]] or just pure bad luck on his part.
* BrattyHalfPint: As a fawn, Ronno was a braggart, a bully, a liar, a coward, manipulative, and has the worst qualities of a child, seeming to mainly be brought about by his pride at having his antlers starting to come in and his spots have gone. [[TookALevelInJerkass He got worse as an adult]].
* BreakTheHaughty: In the midquel, the closest thing he gets to karma for (accidentally) nearly getting Bambi and Mena killed is being put through yet another humiliating pratfall when a turtle bites and clings to his nose, sending him off crying for his mom--right after boasting to Bambi that [[WeWillMeetAgain they'll meet again some day]].
* TheBully: When you get right down to it, at his core, Ronno is a fairly physically apt bully who enjoys putting on airs and throwing his weight around, but when the chips are down, he's [[WhatYouAreInTheDark revealed]] to be nothing more than a SmugSnake and a DirtyCoward who enjoys imposing on others weaker than him (and blows up if they so much as dare to fight back) and would rather save his own hide than even consider helping others. He constantly insults Bambi and his friends and looks down on them, and shows no respect for anyone. Part of the reason he even became such a heated rival towards Bambi was out of spite and feeling entitled to be superior to him. When he grows up, he degenerates into an outright BarbaricBully.
* BullyBrutality: In the climax of the midquel, he tries to beat Bambi up during a fight, and once he grows up and they get into a scuffle over Faline, he tries to ''kill'' him.
* CallousnessTowardsEmergency: As soon as he realizes Man's hounds are heading his way and Mena tells both him and Bambi to run, Ronno simply flees for his life, while Bambi, after some hesitation, instead chooses to sacrifice himself to save her life.
* CantTakeCriticism: Ronno gets flustered when Bambi (non-ironically) expresses in awe that Ronno's story of taking on Man is "Unbelievable.", [[SarcasmBlind misinterpreting it as Bambi calling him a liar]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Retroactive case. Ronno's personality in the original movie is [[FlatCharacter rather vague]], and he just serves as another obstacle to Bambi. The midquel however plays out far more as a character study for him just like it does for his rival, giving him far more individual flaws and agency, and also reveals the devolution into the hulking brute he grew into in the original movie was played out by his own decisions, particularly when galvanised by his sour relationship with his rival Bambi.
* TheCharmer: Subverted. Ronno likes to ''think'' of himself as a PrinceCharming, but that's just his narcissism in action; Faline isn't remotely impressed by anything he does and at most tolerates his presence, assuming she's not [[PrinceCharmless already feeling repelled by his creepy attitude]].
* ChekhovsGunman: At first it doesnt seem like his rivalry has [[PlotIrrelevantVillain much bearing on the actual story of the midquel]], but it culminates in him picking a fight with Bambi on purpose, the aftermath of which unwittingly sets off the climax of the movie.
* TheChewToy: Any time Ronno suffers, it's because he deserves it.
* ClassicVillain: In the second film, he is basically an EvilCounterpart to Bambi and has the staple traits of one. He is also guilty of five of the SevenDeadlySins.
** {{Pride}}: He has an [[SmallNameBigEgo undeservedly high opinion of himself]] and is [[EntitledBastard extremely arrogant]] in his attitude towards everyone.
** {{Greed}}: Given he has a huge ego, he is [[AttentionWhore greedy for any kind of attention]] he can get.
** [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]]: He is [[DrivenByEnvy spitefully envious of Bambi]] due to the latter unwittingly upstaging him over and over.
** {{Lust}}: As an adult, he openly lusts after Faline, though the midquel implies this lust goes all the way back to their childhood.
** [[HairTriggerTemper Wrath]]: He is short-tempered, impatient and prone to violence if he feels slighted.
* ClimaxBoss: He serves as this to Bambi in both the original movie and its adaptations, as well as the midquel.
* CockFight: He gets into a nasty one with Bambi over Faline in the original movie.
* CombatPragmatist: Ronno is more than willing to fight dirty in order to win against a foe.
* CompositeCharacter: Ronno in the midquel takes traits from both the movies interpretation of him and traits of a character from ''Bambi's Children'', Boso, who is the cousin of Geno and is spitefully jealous of Geno because he's the son of Bambi, who is now the Great Prince of the Forest. It also takes cues from Osamu Tezuka's manga adaptation of Bambi, which notably depicted Ronno as a fawn being at odds with Bambi decades before the midquel did it.
* CondescendingCompassion: After Bambi performs a stunt to try and impress his father and has it backfire on him, Ronno comes across him with porcupine quills in his rump and uses the chance to offer mocking condolences for the incident where Bambi nearly got mauled by a pack of hunting dogs after freezing up, saying that if they didn't have cowards like him, they wouldn't know who the brave ones were. He does similar later on when Bambi's sent off to live with a stepmom.
* ConflictKiller: The focus of the midquels story is on the relationship between Bambi and his father, with Ronno's rivalry with Bambi seemingly having little relevance to the story at first. Cue Ronno showing up and making a bad situation even worse when Bambi is sent off to live with a stepmother after having a falling out with his father over it; the climax is entirely sprung by him picking a fight with Bambi, which ends with Bambi and his fathers relationship being repaired and Ronno being utterly humiliated.
* CreateYourOwnHero: Ronno's bullying of Bambi in the midquel is unwittingly a catalyst in helping him learn to become more brave and assertive in the face of danger, which culminates in Bambi selflessly sacrificing himself to save Mena's life from Man while Ronno in turn [[DirtyCoward flees screaming for his mother.]]
* CreepyChild: Ronno's behaviour as a fawn as his rivalry with Bambi gets worse is disturbingly cruel and cold, akin to being a sociopath in the making.
* DarkIsEvil: In both movies, he has a much darker shade of fur than any of the other deer as a visual red flag that he's trouble.
* DeadpanSnarker: Is prone to throwing out some pretty cruel and venomous one-liners, especially towards Bambi.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of TheBully type of character, showing just how following this kind of mindset can [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome swiftly bring real consequences onto whoever embraces it]]. Ronno's arrogant and all around anti-social personality pretty much [[TheFriendNobodyLikes precludes him from forming any real friendships with the others]], and this feeds into his ambitions to force people to like him over his rival, which only make him come off as a pathetic and desperate creep who keeps digging himself deeper with each situation until ''everyone'' hates him by the end, and for good reason. In short, Ronno is HisOwnWorstEnemy.
* DemotedToExtra: And then [[AscendedExtra re-ascended back]] to a role somewhat different than what he originally had. He had a larger role in the novel beyond simply being a rival to Bambi, being already grown and Bambi having already known him even before his mother died. The first film reduces him down to one scene, with no name, no dialogue and no real characterization. The midquel then expands his character back, but only really rebuilds his character on his rival status, portraying his rivalry with Bambi growing and building from childhood rather than having him become a rival only after Bambi grows up. Even with that, he ''never'' appears in any Bambi tie-in that doesnt directly adapt the events of the movies, and has ''never'' been featured in any of the series merchandise. [[PutOnABus He doesn't even so much as get a mention]] in ''Bambi's Children'', either.
* {{Determinator}}: Deconstructed. He has similar ambitions to Bambi in that they both want to prove themselves, but whereas Bambi risks himself out of selflessness and to earn the respect and affection of his father, Ronno goes about it in a [[AmbitionIsEvil completely ruthless way]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe for entirely self-serving reasons.]]
* DiabolusExNihilo: He literally comes out of nowhere in the original film, and is gone practically as fast as he appears.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He often gets into many a pratfall because he's so focused on showing off to or showing up others to satisfy his ego that he doesn't stop and think about how what he's doing might reflect back on him and he ends making many reckless and stupid decisions as a result.
* DirtyCoward: He brags about being able to take on Man early in the film and is more than willing to chase and fight Bambi when he's a fawn because its clear he has some advantage over him in terms of being older and starting to bud antlers--but as soon as Mena gets snared in a trap that summons a pack of hunting dogs, he flees in terror while calling out for his mom.
* DiscOneFinalBoss:
** In the original movie, he's taken out by Bambi somewhat early in the third act, though his threat turns out to be nothing compared to the return of Man and the subsequent forest fire.
** In the midquel, his fight with Bambi is actually the setup for the films climax, where Bambi has to deal with the far greater threat of Man and his hounds instead.
* DisproportionateRetribution: His bullying towards Bambi is almost entirely fueled out of petty envy of Bambi (unwittingly) upstaging him constantly along with the frustration of the various embarrassing pratfalls he keeps bringing on himself, to the point of insulting him to his face to kick him down a notch.
* TheDitz: He's obnoxiously thickheaded and childish.
* DrivenByEnvy: His petty envy of Bambi is a strong motivator of him constantly trying to one-up the young prince.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Everyone in the forest finds Ronno to be [[TheFriendNobodyLikes an annoying pest at]] ''best'' despite his considerable athleticism and bravado in contrast to Bambi's scrawiness and timid nature. Due to his fragile ego and sense of arrogant entitlement, he doesn't take it well and grows to hate Bambi more and more throughout the film because of it. It comes to a head when he uses the fact that The Great Prince sent Bambi away to live with a stepmom as ammo to take him down a peg and goad him into a fight so he can prove himself superior in a fight.
* DumbassHasAPoint: For all his MilesGloriosus boasting in the midquel, his description of Man's deer call was incredibly accurate, as Bambi would later find out when he fell for the trick when he thought that it was his mother calling him.
* DumbMuscle: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Ronno isnt particularly stupid, but he is very impulsive, reckless and short sighted thanks to his big ego, which causes no end of trouble for him.
* DumbJock: To go in hand with his JerkJock persona, he's not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, although this stems more from his recklessness and impulsive personality and lack of proper social skills than straight up stupidity.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Similar to Bambi, Ronno in his yearling form first appeared as two [[FreezeFrameBonus "blink and you'll miss him" cameos]] in ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' prior to the midquel.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the original movie, his eye color was brown, whereas the midquel retcons it into being green to [[GreenEyedMonster better suit his personality.]]
* EarNotch: He's had one since childhood.
* EmergingFromTheShadows: When he begins to taunt Bambi in the climax of the midquel, he's first shown coming out of the shadows of the nearby brush to foreshadow the sinister nature of whats about to follow.
* EntitledBastard: This is Ronno's major flaw, along with his pride. He feels he should be stronger than Bambi and has the right to Faline as a mate for himself without her consent, while constantly denegrating Bambi as a coward and wimp despite him upping Ronno at everything he does and showing absolutely no respect towards him despite being the next prince of the forest. His entire rivalry with Bambi is built on entitlement.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Has this opinion of Faline.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In Bambi II, its established right off the bat that he's a smug AttentionWhore and bratty troublemaker. The very first thing he does is [[KickTheDog cruelly scaring the Groundhog back into his hole after he doesn't see his shadow]] and [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor laughing about it]], and then bragging about blatantly false feats to Bambi and co, as well as acting aggressive when Bambi seemingly questions his stories. On top of that, he's shown to be openly disrespectful to his own mother, in case you didn't already get the hint that [[HateSink were not supposed to like him.]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: {{Zig Zagg|ingTrope}}ed. [[BrattyHalfPint Ronno is even disrespectful to his own mother]], but often goes crying to her whenever he is faced with danger.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Arguably Ronno's biggest flaw is his complete failure to understand ''why'' others like Bambi so much over him--even if he wasn't the next Prince of the Forest, Bambi is humble and selfless and earns all of his victories and respect from his friends by what he does, while Ronno [[EntitledBastard arrogantly expects things to go his way because he's older and stronger]] despite having no real deeds to show for it, and [[HisOwnWorstEnemy fails to understand that he's constantly shooting himself in the foot with his selfishness and egotism.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As much of a jerk as he is, despite getting the upper hand, he stops his rage-fuelled fight with Bambi when he realizes he accidentally trapped Mena in a hunting snare. Even more so since he is rightfully terrified of Man and actually confronting it or its hounds despite his past boasting.
* EvilCounterpart: To Bambi. The titular character is sweet, brave, humble, and respects Faline in spite of a shy crush; Ronno is callous, cowardly, arrogant, and tried to force himself onto Faline when they were adults. Even dynamically, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain basically everything that Ronno does]] as he becomes [[StartOfDarkness darker and more obsessive]] coerces Bambi into becoming [[HeroesFrontierStep more bold and altruistic]].
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor:
** Ronno's idea of a joke is scaring the Groundhog after he becomes elated at seeing his shadow isnt there. Naturally, he's the only one laughing at it.
** Shortly after he cracks a joke about the forest being on fire, something that is ''very'' serious business to the woodland critters in this franchise.
* EvilLaugh: Ronno occasionally lets out a smug chuckle, accented with a snort.
* EvilIsBigger: Downplayed; as a fawn he's identical in size to Bambi, but as a yearling, he's slightly larger and more stocky than Bambi, though its difficult to notice this unless you look at [[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/-bHhrYi8WiIfKLvsCQYLLZSVdCbJ4YDrF9HNSBJSyXvZhpJ8owQORR_82DBK_83y2ljng3KSux507BsANXic0q3CNhKnzi6AB5IZqcjDwMdf6zlP9JKMEbEJZhCimiHbzUVaMbabU2RkgRM0Z-QP75wqUPqXbwGkTfKPc6q6VAYmTWk3qUoR33_yZBF9mTFW8wc the films model sheets]].
* EvilIsPetty: Ronno takes things way too personally and overreacts to any slight, whether it was intentional or not. And when Bambi is sent off to live with Mena, Ronno uses the opportunity to rub the whole situation in his rivals face, implying that he was such an embarrassment to the Great Prince that he "(gave him) away", which Ronno has nothing to gain from beyond kicking Bambi down a peg.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Downplayed. As a fawn, he's actually kindof adorable looking. As a yearling, still as bitter and veangeful as ever? He looks like the deer equivilent of a biker thug that you do '''not''' want to get on the bad side of.
* EvilPlan: Repeat: ''everything'' he does is for the sake of showing up Bambi.
* EvilVirtues: If nothing else, he is not at all lazy and is extremely determined, and at least loves his Mom, even if he doesnt necessarily respect her.
* EvilVsEvil: Man is out to get him and the other wildlife animals.
* ExitPursuedByABear: Parodied; in his PostClimaxConfrontation with Bambi, he's sent packing by a mere snapping turtle biting his nose.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: As a fawn, he actually has a appearance thats at worst unremarkable and at best kindof adorable. This is completely offset by [[TheSociopath his real personality.]]
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: No matter what he does, Ronno is always doomed to play second fiddle to Bambi. In the midquel, its an outright ForegoneConclusion that Bambi was going to overcome his bullying of him.
* FalseFriend: In Osamu Tezuka's manga adaptation of Bambi, Bambi befriends Ronno as a fawn, unaware that he's a local troublemaker, and Ronno immediately tricks him into directly risking his life by interacting with Man, purely for kicks on his part. Afterward, the Bullfrog who mentors Bambi becomes belligerant at the very mention of Ronno's name and warns him to stay away from him.
* FatalFlaw: Ronno has at least three of them.
** '''{{Pride}}''' is the most prominent of them. He's a narcissist who constantly throws his weight around and believes he's better than everyone else, [[FeetOfClay even if he has little to show for it]] and it [[PrideBeforeAFall constantly causes problems for him.]]
** '''[[UnstoppableRage Wrath]]''' is his other most prominent trait. He is [[HairTriggerTemper very quick to anger]] and is not above resorting to violence to impose himself on others, and due to his anger, he often winds up making many reckless and stupid mistakes that only further lower others opinions of him.
** Fueling both of the above and vice versa is '''[[InferioritySuperiorityComplex Envy]]'''. He's a shameless and insecure AttentionWhore and GloryHound who is spitefully jealous of Bambi and aspires and pretends to be what Bambi is [[EntitledBastard for all of the wrong reasons and without truly earning it.]]
* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: His attitude towards Bambi; the fact that he, an older and physically stronger deer, is constantly AlwaysSecondBest to a younger and scrawny fawn drives him crazy, which eventually leads him to purposefully insult and goad Bambi into fights so he can take him down a notch.
* FeetOfClay: He'll brag up a storm about being able to take on Man head-on, but the moment threat of Man rears its ugly head, Ronno takes off screaming for his mother.
* FisticuffProvokingComment: When Ronno confronts Bambi during the start of the climax, the latter is already at an emotional low due to his father handing him over to a doe. Ronno, who has gotten competitive towards Bambi throughout the film, starts heckling Bambi, though the latter, while clearly ticked, walks away. Then Ronno mocks the fact his father was supposedly ashamed enough of him to give him away. Bambi then [[RageBreakingPoint silently and uncharaceristically snaps]] and angrily fights Ronno.
* FlatCharacter: In the original film, he's little more than a personified obstacle for Bambi to overcome, and isn't given a clear personality beyond being a particularly aggressive and amorous buck. Even the two comic book, newspaper comic and manga adaptations, despite giving him bits of dialogue, do little to flesh him out more beyond establishing him as a rather generic jerk [[EntitledToHaveYou who wants Faline for himself]]. The midquel ''significantly'' fleshes him out into a more [[RoundedCharacter three-dimensional character]].
* FlawExploitation: Ronno is well aware of how insecure Bambi is in regards to earning his fathers approval, and uses it to try and tear him down emotionally and mentally.
* {{Foil}}:
** To his rival, Bambi. The CentralTheme of the midquel is coming to terms with one's fears, accepting them and overcoming them, and [[BeYourself not trying to be something you're not to become better.]] Bambi realizes, faces and overcomes them and finds himself while earning the respect of his father and friends as a result, while Ronno [[NeverMyFault refuses to owe up to his own flaws]], [[DirtyCoward gives in to his fears]] and goes out of his way to try to be something he isn't ([[FeetOfClay which gets him nowhere and only highlights his flaws further]]) due to his [[EntitledBastard spiteful envy of his rival]], and this culminates in everyone hating him in the end. It is not at all disingenuous to say that Ronno is what Bambi could have easily become if he didn't have the guidance of his parents and friends to keep him on the straight and narrow.
** He's also one to Thumper. While Thumper can certainly be an immature brat and occasionally acts selfish and cocky, he has his heart in the right place and [[BigBrotherInstinct wants to help Bambi more than anything else]], and at the end of the day, he loves and respects his family when push comes to shove. Ronno, in contrast, is all the brat with none of the heart, being a purely self centered person and has no respect for anyone else.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ronno's cowardly nature gets hinted at even before the climax. When he's messing with Bambi in their first meeting, he briefly gets much more timid when his mother calls out for him. Later on, after hechases Bambi and Thumper, he gets [[KnowWhenToFoldEm noticably scared and shrinks away into the bushes]] as soon as he sees the Great Prince standing right behind his son.
* ForTheEvulz: While most of what Ronno does is motivated by his jealous ambition to prove himself Bambi's superior, him rubbing it in Bambi's face that his father "gave him away" (to a stepmother) was a [[EvilIsPetty spiteful and petty act]] done solely to [[KickTheDog hit Bambi where it hurt the hardest for his own amusement.]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric. Ronno is young, very strong willed, overconfident to the point of being arrogant, HotBlooded, [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]], rude, rebellious, and is driven entirely by his ego and selfish goals, which [[TheDeterminator he relentlessly pursues]]. He's also a callous, cruel and unemphatic bully and a SoreLoser who has a vengeful deep seated hatred of Bambi for [[ItsPersonal petty personal reasons]], and there's little low he won't stoop to in order to get the advantage over him.
* FriendlessBackground: Its implied he's never had any friends before meeting Bambi and co., and when his attitude when trying to make friends is shown, its not hard to piece together why. Its implied this might have been part of the reason he turned out the way he did, as he didn't grow up with strong friendships like Bambi did that helped him stay on the straight and narrow.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He starts off as this in the midquel, since he's trying to make friends and Bambi and Faline are at least tolerant of him at first, but their opinion of him quickly sours due to Ronno's bullying personality and doesnt improve.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. Abiding by the midquel's chronology, his increasing jealousy and hatred of Bambi embittered him from merely a childish, cowardly braggart to a sinister, terrifying beast. However, once he battles Bambi when they both reach adulthood, he doesn't last much longer than a minute.
* FuryFueledFoolishness: Ronno, with his haughty ego combined with his short temper, has a really bad habit of doing some really reckless and stupid things when he gets angry, and it ''always'' comes back to bite him in the flank.
* GenderedInsult: Besides rudely mocking Bambi's feminine name ("Bambi? Isn't that a girls name?"), he later disparagingly calls him [[MaliciousMisnaming "Princess"]] during his ReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* GloryHound: His whole motivation is getting recognized by others, and it feeds heavily into his rivalry with Bambi.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: Ronno has a much darker shade of auburn fur to set him apart from the other characters, and as a fawn he has green eyes to subtly reinforce his jealously of Bambi.
* GoldfishPoopGang: Zigzagged in the midquel. At first he's a mild and ineffectual nuisance to the other animals at worst, but the climax shows early signs of the sinister beast he grows into from the original movie.
* GreenAndMean: Downplayed. Ronno's fur color isnt green (rather a dark reddish brown), but his eye color is purposefully retconned in the midquel from also being brown to being green in the midquel for visual storytelling purposes. And to say he is mean is an understatement.
* GreenEyedMonster: Quite {{literal|Metaphor}}ly, in fact; he has green eyes and is driven by the fact that he's [[AlwaysSecondBest always playing second fiddle]] to Bambi. He fulfills the "monster" part moreso as an adult. It's hinted that his jealousy is partly because of Bambi's status as the son of The Great Prince.

* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to fluster him, even as a fawn. As a grown stag, all it takes for Bambi to set him off was unwittingly wandering into his territory.
* HatedByAll: By the end of the midquel, no one has even an ounce of respect for him at all. He's on bad terms with the rest of the cast, particularly Bambi.
* HateSink: Where do we even start? In the midquel, Ronno is made into a thoroughly obnoxious and unpleasant bully towards everyone and is '''not''' one to be trusted, and [[TheFriendNobodyLikes hes not well liked by the other animals in turn]]--[[NiceGuy Bambi]] gradually grows to hate his guts, even the [[NiceGirl kindhearted Faline]] at most grudgingly tolerates him and otherwise makes no attempt to hide her dislike of him, and Thumper and Flower's opinion of him isn't any better--its safe to say that he's made out to be the most vile on-screen character in the series as a result. Since Man is [[OutOfFocus reduced to a]] PlotIrrelevantVillain (with their hunting dogs merely being an extension of their will with no defined personalities), Ronno's role in the film exists to give the audience a physical foe to root against during Bambi's struggles. He's not ''too'' bad at the start of the film--while he already shows early warning signs of his bullying attitude and acts like an annoying braggart, you can at least ''slightly'' sympathize with him at that point [[FriendlessBackground since its shown he has no other friends]] (though his attempts at acting nice are a clearly an insincere act done just to get others to like him), but as time goes on, he [[TookALevelInJerkass progressively gets more and more repulsive]] as his rivalry with Bambi grows out of control due to a perfect storm of [[EvilIsPetty petty jealousy]] and [[EntitledBastard arrogant entitlement]]. He not only shows [[LackOfEmpathy absolutely no sympathy]] for Bambi as he's coming to terms with the loss of his mother and struggles to earn the respect of his father, he [[FlawExploitation cruelly preys on his insecurities from the situation]], later using the fact that the Great Prince sends Bambi off to live with a stepmom as ammo to crush any sense of pride he had left and goad him into a fight. In other words, the fawn is basically a [[TheSociopath sociopath in the making]]. To say the least, you ''will'' feel catharsis when Bambi [[RageBreakingPoint finally snaps]] and fights him.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Everything and anything bad that happens to Ronno is brought entirely on himself due to his arrogance, outlook on life, HairTriggerTemper, and not learning his lesson regardless of whatever consequences befall him. Even if Bambi hadn't entered his life, its safe to say he'd be a lost cause as a person.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His final attempt to humiliate Bambi as a fawn not only backfires in his face directly because of his own actions, but ends up repairing the relationship between Bambi and his father and earning the young prince the respect of others in the forest even more, while outright guaranteeing that everyone else, who already treated Ronno [[TheFriendNobodyLikes with ill regard at best]], will ''never'' give him any of the respect or attention he so desperately craves.
* HornAttack: In the midquel, he's already started growing out his antlers before Bambi, which gives him an upper hand over him in combat at first.
* HotBlooded: Ronno is quite easy to fluster and is full of pride and fighting spirit.
* HumiliationConga: Basically all of Ronno's scenes in Bambi II are a veritable conga line of him making a fool of himself or getting humiliated over and over again. Its as if the filmmakers were asking themselves [[KarmicButtMonkey "How many ways can we make this jackass suffer indignation?"]]
** When he's bragging about his antler stubs to the others, it ends with him getting buried in snow after he jabs at a tree, and he gets embarrased by his mother soon after.
** Next we see him, he's making a fool of himself by trying and failing to impress Faline as he recklessly charges into a tree and keeps conking himself on the head. This quickly leads to Bambi and Thumper accidentally provoking him into a chase, which results in Bambi making an incredible leap that impresses the Great Prince, which Ronno tries and fails to recreate, landing in a muddy pond instead.
** During the montage of Bambi and his father bonding, Bambi effortlessly outruns Ronno without even trying, much to Ronno's shock.
** This culminates in Ronno goading Bambi into a fight, which results in Ronno soundly getting his butt handed to him by Bambi (though with great difficulty on the latters part). The subsequent attack by mans dogs [[DirtyCoward sends him running off screaming for his mother while Bambi saves the day]]. Last we see of him, Ronno is boasting to Bambi how they'll meet again one day, but he winds up in one more pratfall where he trips and a turtle ends up biting and clinging to his nose, sending him off screaming in pain for his mother.
** Retroactively, this all culminates in a grown up Ronno getting soundly defeated in a fight by Bambi in the original film, ending with him taking a great fall and sent limping off in humiliation.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Early in ''Bambi II'', he brags about confronting Man head on in a sneak attack and [[PsychologicalProjection disses Bambi as being a coward]] after he nearly gets killed by mans hounds. Cue the climax, and the first sign of Man attack has him running off screaming for his mother, while Bambi directly intervenes to save his stepmothers life instead of running to safety.
* IgnoredEnemy: Despite his efforts, Bambi doesnt even acknowledge Ronno at all in private, let alone as a rival, only when Ronno personally prods him into a fight. [[PostClimaxConfrontation When they last meet in the midquel]], Bambi doesnt even try wasting time saying a word to him, instead letting him dig his own grave thanks to a nearby snapping turtle. Its not until they meet again as adults that Bambi truly takes him seriously as a threat.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Subverted -- Ronno is a clear case of NoRespectGuy and a foolish KarmicButtMonkey, all of which are classic symptoms of the ISV. While his pitiful nature has endeared him to some fans, it's made very clear that his [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogance]] and [[EntitledBastard selfishness]] is the primary instigator of his bullying, and his actions as a result of this almost gets both Bambi and Mena killed as a result of his irrational determination to prove himself superior to Bambi.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Ronno suffers from his badly. He simply cannot accept that Bambi is his better in virtually every way.
* InsufferableImbecile: Downplayed. Ronno isn't particularly ''stupid'', more shortsighted and reckless, but he is ''definetely'' insufferable.
* InterimVillain: Ronno serves as this for the films midquel, as Man is DemotedToExtra and otherwise has little direct involvement in the plot.
* {{Irony}}: In the midquel, he makes certainly false boasts of taking on Man single-handed. Rather poetically, that's exactly what [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Bambi]] did in the second novel.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Ronno is an extremely self-centered and all around selfish person with a big ego to match.
* ItsPersonal: His rivalry with Bambi stems entirely from petty envy he has towards the young prince constantly upstaging him with seemingly little effort.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Deconstructed. Ronno ''does'' want to have friends, but only on his terms.
* JerkassToOne: A variant 2 type. Ronno is an all-around asshole to everyone in the midquel, but he's ''especially'' cruel to Bambi, constantly insulting him, scaring him, and even physically abusing him.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He's as mean as Bambi is [[NiceGuy nice]]. However in the climax of the midquel, when Bambi is sent off to live off with Mena, Ronno shows up to see off Bambi, [[BaitTheDog seemingly going to offer his condolences for moving]]...only to use the opportunity to [[KickTheDog smugly hit him where it hurts the hardest]] by implying to him that his father thinks so little of him that he'd "give [him] away."
* JerkJock: The deer equivalent, as he usually prefers intimidating others physically when they don't do as he wants.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: As yearlings, Bambi finally gives him what he deserves when he fights him to defend Faline, ending with Ronno being soundly defeated and forced to limp off in humiliation.
* KarmicButtMonkey: Especially in the midquel, when Ronno suffers many a humiliation and AmusingInjuries for his awful attitude and nobody treat him with an ounce of dignity. He also gets his butt thoroughly handed to him by Bambi in the first film for trying to make a move on Faline.
* KickTheDog: Already dissing him as a coward after hearing Bambi nearly got mauled by a pack of hunting dogs after freezing in fear, by far the cruelest thing he does to Bambi in the midquel is rub it in his face that his father was sending him off to live with Mena, smugly wording it that his dad thought so little of him that he wanted to "give you away.", done purely to spite Bambi and goad him into a fight.
* KidsAreCruel:
** In the manga adaptation, Ronno is depicted as being [[ToxicFriendInfluence a bad influence on Bambi]] and deliberately tricks him into wandering into Man's territory just for kicks.
** In the midquel, Ronno has a personality that screams "sociopath in the making" and is an insensitive, arrogant jerk who becomes angry, even violent, over the pettiest of slights.
* KiddieKid: He may be older than Bambi and his friends, but he's actually ''less'' mature than any of them, and when he's not putting on a tough show, he's a pathetic MommasBoy.
* KnightOfCerebus: While he poses nowhere near the level of threat that Man does, when he shows up in the original movie and in the climax of the midquel, things get much more serious in tone from then on.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm:
** When an adult isnt around to help Bambi, he's more than willing to pick on him, but as soon as the Great Prince shows up behind them, he fearfully realizes he's in over his head and retreats into the nearby shrubbery until they leave.
** As soon as the mere presence of Man rears its ugly head, Ronno immediately drops the fight with Bambi and takes off for dear life.
* LackOfEmpathy:
** You'd think he'd be nicer to Bambi considering he just lost his mother to Man and is still coming to terms with it. No; Ronno [[KickTheDog uses the opportunity to humiliate Bambi]] when he discovers Bambi froze in fear when he got tricked by one of Man's deer calls and nearly got killed by a pack of hunting dogs.
** He deliberately annoys people around him, yet gets [[{{Hypocrite}} downright incensed when someone else deliberately slights him.]]
** When the Great Prince sends Bambi away to live with a stepmother, Ronno immediately jumps on the opportunity to use it to humiliate Bambi even more by implying his father was so ashamed of him that he "(gave him) away." And after he nearly gets Bambi and Mena killed by accident, not only does he ''not'' owe up to his actions afterward, he immediately boasts about how [[WeWillMeetAgain he'll get even with Bambi for besting him in a fight eventually]].
* LargeHam: Subtlety is not his strong suit as a fawn, especially when he gets angry. This is inverted when hes grown up, as he doesn't say a single word (and only has sparse dialogue in a couple of the comic adaptations) and lets his actions do the talking.
* LastVillainStand: Ronno's childhood rivalry with Bambi culminates in him getting utterly humiliated and sent packing, promising to return eventually. This retroactively escalates into their meeting as yearlings, where Ronno engages in an absolutely brutal fight with his rival, though Bambi eventually emerges as the victor.
* LaughablyEvil: As much of an [[HateSink unrepentant asshole as he may he]], he's also so downright ''pathetic'' and petty that his bad luck or many pratfalls that he [[KarmicButtMonkey brings on himself]] provide a lot of the midquels comic relief.
* LetsGetDangerous: In the climax of the midquel, Ronno briefly drops his usual [[LargeHam hamminess]] in favor of a [[TranquilFury more calm, composed, and surprisingly creepy demeanor]] in the moments before he fights Bambi.
* LightningBruiser: As an adult in the first film, he is basically equal in speed and strength to Bambi. While he's AlwaysSecondBest in the midquel, he still puts up a vicious fight in their scuffle.
* MaliciousMisnaming: In his ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Bambi, he starts it right off by disparagingly referring to him as "Princess".
* MeetMyGoodFriendsLeftyAndRighty: Calls his antlers "Stab" and "Jab". Or collectively, "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the boys]]".
* MightMakesRight: The main source of Ronno's [[EntitledBastard sense of entitlement]], as he's older and (at first) physically stronger than Bambi.
* MilesGloriosus: In his child form at least. Despite his boasting and being older than Bambi or Faline, he's actually more immature than either of them, and [[DirtyCoward he is usually the first to run from even the slightest threat]].
-->'''Ronno:''' [[IWantMyMommy MOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!]]
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: While standing up to Ronno as he harasses Faline, Bambi gets pushed into Ronno by Thumper in an attempt to make Bambi seem braver. Ronno at most gets knocked onto his bad and has a bit of mud splotched on his face. Uninjured but with his pride wounded, Ronno is set off enough to immediately chase after both of them with the intent of beating them up.
* MisplacedRetribution: After their second meeting in the midquel, Ronno is almost universally defined by his hatred for Bambi. Although Bambi did stand up to him and unwittingly humiliated Ronno afterward, he didnt intentionally provoke him into chasing him -- Thumper did by shoving Bambi right into him, not to mention he, not Bambi, was the one [[IShallTauntYou taunting him]] after they successfully escape him. But since Ronno is so singlemindedly obsessed with getting even with Bambi (which is implied to be out of jealousy that he's the son of the Great Prince), he doesn't acknowledge Thumper's role in their rivalry (though he doesn't have any issue with chasing both him and Bambi), mainly due to the fact that Thumper is at most a harmless nuisance to him (with Ronno at most mocking him as being a cutesy little rabbit), and otherwise has no personal beef with him.
* MommasBoy: Though based on all his boasting and posturing, he doesn't want to admit it. It's implied that his mother [[SpoiledBrat spoils him by putting up with his awful attitude]]. Thumper outright insults him as being one.
* MoralMyopia: He hates Bambi for constantly upstaging him and wants nothing more than to prove himself his better if not just get even with him, but Ronno himself is an arrogant sociopath who views himself as better than everyone else, and virtually all of the humiliation he goes through was brought entirely on himself and had nothing to do with Bambi's own actions.
* MotiveDecay: His initial motive is to try and make friends ([[ItsAllAboutMe on his own terms]]) and [[EntitledToHaveYou force Faline to like him]], but his priorities shift to wanting revenge on Bambi above all else due to the latter constantly upstaging Ronno without even trying.
* NamedInTheSequel: In the first film, Ronno has no name, no dialogue, vague characterization, and is essentially a RandomEncounter. It wasn't until the mid-quel that he's named on-screen.
* {{Narcissist}}: To go hand in hand with his huge ego, Ronno is extraordinarily selfish and is a very self-absorbed AttentionWhore. A large chunk of his screentime is just him trying (and failing) to flaunt how superior he is to everyone else around him.
* NeverMyFault: He takes out his anger on Bambi for his shortcomings rather than take responsibility for his actions. After Mena nearly gets mauled by a pack of dogs thanks to his fight with Bambi, not only does he ''not'' owe up to his mistake, but instead makes it clear he still he has a bone to pick with Bambi.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:Throughout the midquel, he was unintentionally the catalyst for a lot of Bambi's CharacterDevelopment, as well as strengthening the bond between him and his father, and ultimately reuniting them during the climax.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: As a yearling, in stark contrast to how he acted as a fawn, Ronno wastes absolutely no time bragging, boasting or insulting his rival when they meet again; in fact, he doesn't so much as [[TheVoiceless say a word to Bambi]]--[[TranquilFury his perpetual scowl and aggressive posture says it all]]. He immediately gets down to business trying to claim Faline for himself and brutally fighting off Bambi when he gets in his way.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: To further distinguish him from Bambi and Faline in the midquel, he notably does not have spots, already has antler stubs growing out and has a noticeably different facial design. This also extends to his adult appearance, as his antlers and perpetual scowl instantly make him distinguishable from the other deer.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Ronno's prowess as a fawn only comes off as remarkable in comparison to the younger fawns and animals he likes to pick on (and even thats not saying much, as Bambi manages to outrun, outjump and out''fight'' him). When he's put up against a ''real'' threat like Man and his hounds, he immediately crumbles like a deck of cards.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In the midquel, his fawn counterpart is mostly just an ineffectual bully and very buffoonish. After he gets aggravated by Bambi one too many times however, he confronts and cruelly goads him into a fight, taking on a far more vicious and sinister air that foreshadows his later years.
* NoRespectGuy: A villainous example rather than a herioc one. No matter what Ronno does or how hard he tries to impress anyone, ''everybody'' regards him as an annoying joke. Considering Ronno's ego, [[DudeWheresMyRespect he doesn't take it very well.]] Rather ironically, Bambi, the focus of a lot of his antagonism, was the nearest to being genuinely amazed by him at first (see SarcasmBlind below).
* NoSocialSkills: Ronno doesn't seem to know how to not be extremely rude, threatening, or how to stop hurling insults at people or bragging for attention each time the chance presents itself. On top of that, hes SarcasmBlind ([[{{Irony}} despite having a snarky personality himself]]), [[CantTakeCriticism and is rather poor at taking criticism]], misinterpreting an innocent remark by Bambi (about his story of attacking Man) as calling him a liar.
* NothingIsScarier: In the original film, he has zero speaking lines and nothing is given to establish his character, leaving only his ominous, intimidating presence and imposing threat between Bambi and Faline. Even with the midquel giving his character context, it's rather chilling wondering how he turned from a loud mouthed pipsqueak into ''that''....
* ObviouslyEvil: His Auburn fur color is visibly darker than the others fawns and he has [[GreenEyedMonster green eyes as a red flag]], is [[SmallNameBigEgo undeservedly arrogant]] and rude to everyone he interacts with at ''best'' and an outright [[TheSociopath sociopath in the making at worst]], and relentlessly bullies the Young Prince, who is clearly going through great hardship in his personal life, [[EvilIsPetty purely out of petty jealousy]].
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: Kinda. After Bambi has a mishap with an ornery porcupine, Ronno uses the chance to talk down to Bambi, snidely saying "Don't feel bad. If we didn't have cowards, we couldn't tell who the brave ones are." This becomes ironic considering what he see both [[HeroicSacrifice Bambi]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Ronno]] do later on.
* OhCrap:
** As soon as he sees the Great Prince standing right behind Bambi, he slowly shrinks in fear into the nearby shrubbery.
** His reaction to the idea of actually facing Man is straight up terror.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Subverted. He brags about having taken on Man head-on, but this is [[BlatantLies clearly a humbug he made up to impress Faline]], given he runs off screaming at the very idea of actually confronting Man later on. It is possible that he at least got a look at how they make deer calls (he had to learn about it somehow) but embellished the part about attacking them to make himself look better.
* OpportunisticBastard: As soon as he discovers Bambi is being sent off to live with a stepmother by his father, he immediately springs at the chance to use it to insult and humiliate Bambi right to his face and goad him into a fight.
* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: You know things have gotten bad when Ronno ''isn't'' acting like his usual cocky, go-getting self. When the threat of Man rears its ugly head in the climax of Bambi II, Ronno makes absolutely no attempt to live up to his earlier boasts of taking Man head on--in fact, he's downright ''terrified'' and runs off screaming for his mother to help him.
* PaperTiger: For all his bullying, athletic chops and bragging of impressive feats like taking on Man head-on, Bambi is ultimately his superior--he manages to outrun him on two different occasions, outjump him, and he hands Ronno his flank to him in both of their fights with each other. Besides that, he's a complete coward (and a MommasBoy on top of that) when it comes to actually facing the threat of Man when it rears its ugly head. This changes when he grows up, as he briefly becomes a legitimate threat to Bambi in combat.
* PerpetualFrowner: As a yearling, his head is designed in such a way that it looks like he's always scowling. The antlers are designed to help frame this scowl as well.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Even as a fawn, he's quite physically strong and fast and can at least match Bambi near blow for blow in a fight.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: While Ronno is the closest thing the films have to an on-screen antagonist, his role in both the original movie and most of the midquel is just to be another obstacle for Bambi to overcome. In the original film, he was just a completely random fight for Bambi to overcome and help finally cement his and Faline's love for one another, and in the midquel, the real conflict is driven by Bambi trying to earn the love and respect of his father, as Man's role is [[DemotedToExtra nowhere as prominent a threat]]. While he does torment Bambi at points and accidentally prods him into performing a leap that impresses the Great Prince, Ronno doesnt directly move the plot forward until the climax, where his actions indirectly spur the climax into action and [[NiceJobFixingItVillain unwittingly becomes the catalyst in Bambi and his father finally bonding.]]
* PluckyComicRelief: PlayedWith. Ronno has more of a role himself than just being behind jokes, but he ends up being one of the primary sources of comic relief in the midquel because of his status as a truly pathetic [[TheChewToy walking punching bag]] to the world around him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Besides being a bully, [[EmbarrassingFirstName he mocks Bambi for having a "girls name"]] and later [[MaliciousMisnaming disparaingly calls him "Princess"]], likely for his effeminate and demure nature. He also displays mildly misogynistic behavior towards Faline as a fawn (which escalates into implied AttemptedRape when they're yearlings).
* PostClimaxConfrontation: In the midquels epilogue, which is implied to take place several days after the events of the films climax, Ronno shows up to make it clear to Bambi that WeWillMeetAgain. Fortunately, Bambi doesn't have to lift a hoof to deal with it--Ronno's sudden mishap with a turtle does the job for him instead.
* {{Pride}}: Among Ronno's defining traits is his arrogant, haughty attitude.
* PrideBeforeAFall: This happens constantly to Ronno throughout Bambi II, as if to hammer home that [[AntiRoleModel his haughty attitude is absolutely no way to get through life.]]
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: Goes hand-in-hand with his [[AlwaysSecondBest constant placings in second]] and obnoxious attitude.
* PrinceCharmless: In reality, Ronno is closer to this, despite thinking of himself as a PrinceCharming. At any rate, Faline is unimpressed by him at best if not downright repulsed by him.
* PrivilegedRival: Both played straight and {{inverted|Trope}}. On the one hand, he's older, stronger, and much more belligerent and go-getting than Bambi, which places him higher in the mating competition hierarchy. On the other hand, Bambi is [[RoyalBlood the son of The Great Prince]] and makes an accidental habit of [[AlwaysSecondBest upstaging Ronno multiple times]], something that fuels Ronno's jealous hatred of him.
* PsychologicalProjection: He loves to denigrate Bambi as being a coward while championing himself as a brave and noble fawn. [[{{Hypocrite}} Its all talk]] and his ego imposing his own flaws on his rival; when the chips are down, Ronno is a [[DirtyCoward complete coward]] who [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about saving his own hide]], while [[TheSoCalledCoward Bambi]] is the one who acts selflessly and brave in the face of danger--apparently Ronno never realized that ''bravery'' isn't necessarily the same thing as ''fearlessness''.
* PutOnABus: Curiously, Ronno does not appear at all in ''Bambi's Children'', whether it be the book or Disney's comic book adaptation of it. He isn't even mentioned in passing. Instead, Bambi's son Geno gets a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute superficially similar new rival]] when he grows up, Boso, though unlike Ronno, Geno and Boso eventually form a friendship after Geno saves him once he gets shot in the shoulder by a hunter.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Bambi is at his lowest emotional point after being sent off to live with a stepmom by his father, Ronno swiftly uses the opportunity to hit him where it hurts the hardest for his own amusement.
-->'''Ronno:''' "Hello, [[MaliciousMisnaming Princess]]. You're not leaving without saying goodbye? And I thought we were pals. I feel for you. Gosh, I really do. It's gotta be hard to have a father that's so ashamed of you that he'd ''give you away''".
* TheResenter: He was very resentful towards Bambi for always being stronger than him as a fawn, to the point where it fuels his rivalry towards him.
* {{Revenge}}: Ronno doesn't really have goals as much as he has grudges. His entire modus-operendi is just spiting Bambi if he so much as inconveniences him, all because he thinks he's a weakling and is entitled to more attention and respect than him.
* RevengeBeforeReason: He has ''nothing'' to gain from bullying Bambi beyond petulant ego gratification and amusement; if anything, if he actually did get away with it, [[VillainBall it would have undoubtedly landed him in hot water]] with the Great Prince (who '''no''' deer in the forest, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm not even Ronno]], wants to get on the bad side of) or his own mother, and further sour the other children's opinion of him even more.
* RetCon: Ronno's heated childhood rivalry with Bambi is this. Not only was it something that was never present in the novel, there was nothing indicating in the original movie that Bambi or Ronno even knew each other before or had a prior history (though the comic adaptations imply that they at least know who he is). The midquels expansion of Bambi's backstory thus added more to the characters relationships retroactively.
* TheRival: In the midquel, Ronno is at odds with Bambi on a variety of matters.
* RivalTurnedEvil: He starts off as a mere bully to Bambi, but as the midquel goes on and he grows up, he becomes an outright EvilCounterpart and ArchEnemy of Bambi.
* RoundedCharacter: While Bambi is by no means a FlatCharacter, Ronno ironically has a much more fleshed out personality than him in the midquel despite having far less screentime in comparison (ironic considering he had virtually no personality at all in the first film) due to his much more proactive and aggressive characterization (while Bambi is certainly trying to achieve his own goals, he's a [[PinballProtagonist relatively passive protagonist in comparison]]) and giving him clear and believable motivations for his bullying, as well as his laundry list of notable character flaws compared to his much more heroic rival. It could easily be argued that Ronno is the most fleshed out of all the characters in the midquel, if not the ''entire series'', next to the Great Prince of the Forest.
* {{Sadist}}: Ronno really gets a kick out of bullying others weaker than him, especially in regards to how he treats Bambi.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: Ronno as a fawn is so heavily expanded upon as a character in the midquel compared to his [[FlatCharacter vague personality]] in the first film and its tie-in materials (and so drastically different from how he's portrayed in the novel) that a new viewer would be forgiven for thinking he was a CanonForeigner made up for it instead of the younger form of Bambi's future rival.
* SatelliteCharacter: He basically exists just so Bambi can have a physical adversary to deal with (Man is on its own playing field compared to the animals, but never directly appears in the movies), and he's seldom seen interacting with anyone besides Bambi or Faline--at most, he just acts dismissive towards Thumper and Flower.
* SarcasmBlind: After hearing Ronno bragging, Faline compliments his story as being "almost unbelievable" in a subtle sarcastic tone. Bambi, not catching on repeats that with sincere interest. Ronno is then convinced ''Bambi'' was mocking him.
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Ronno becomes this as he becomes a hulking and rage-filled buck as a yearling, though the bully aspect of him was established retroactively via the manga adaptation of Bambi and then the midquel decades later.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Ronno lets out a shrill and terrified [[IWantMyMommy "Mommy!"]] when the threat of Man shows up in the climax.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: As soon as the threat of Man rears its ugly head near him, he immediately heads for the hills.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: He cannot ''stand'' being AlwaysSecondBest to Bambi, which ends up fueling his hateful and petty rivalry towards him.
* SelfDisposingVillain: In the PostClimaxConfrontation of the midquel, Bambi doesn't even bother directly dealing with Ronno as he boasts to him; he simply stands by and lets him walk right into the path of a snapping turtle, who bites his nose and sends him running off wailing while Bambi and friends share a laugh at his expense.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Zigzagged, although Ronno acts more macho than Bambi, he is actually even more emotional, especially when it comes to showing anger. While Bambi can certainly get heated at times, he has a long fuse and you have to ''really'' hit a raw nerve to get him angry, whereas Ronno is basically [[HairTriggerTemper a ticking time bomb who will lose it at even the slightest provocation.]]
* SequelNonEntity: He isn't so much as mentioned in the comic adaptation of ''Bambi's Children'', with Geno's cousin Boso serving as a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute in his absence.
* SevenDeadlySins: Ronno is guilty of five of them. He is [[EntitledBastard extremely arrogant]], [[AttentionWhore greedy for any kind of attention]], is [[DrivenByEnvy spitefully envious of Bambi]], lusts after Faline (though this is more prominent as an adult), and is short tempered, impatient and prone to violence. The only boxes he doesn't check off is gluttony and sloth--he is certainly not a lazy person, if anything being [[AmbitionIsEvil too ambitious and for the wrong reasons]]).
* ShadowArchetype: Ronno basically exists to be the polar opposite of Bambi, and gives an idea of what a pugnacious jerk he could have easily become if he didnt have a strong moral compass and sense of responsibility instilled into him by his family and friends to guide him and not let his ego or privilege go to his head.
* SingleTargetSexuality: The only doe he's interested in is Faline. It's completely one-sided on his part, as she cannot stand Ronno.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: The trailers and ads for the midquel put the focus entirely on Bambi and his father's relationship, and don't so much as even allude to Ronno's expanded role in the film.
* SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness: Ronno falls straight into the Least Sympathetic end of it, if not the Permanently Unsympathetic part of it.
* SlidingScaleOfVillainEffectiveness: Ronno belongs in the Low Threat end of the scale. He's usually a foolish bully and nuisance at worst.
* SlidingScaleOfVillainThreat: Ronno falls squarely into the Local Area Threat. He's only a threat compared to the other small group of animals he bullies, and [[NormalFishInATinyPond not even that much of one as is.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: He has a very overinflated opinion on himself and his skills, [[NormalFishInATinyPond which are mildly impressive compared to the other fawns at best.]] And getting his ego deflated constantly not only fails to humble him each time, [[TookALevelInJerkAss but only adds more fuel to the fire instead.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In both movies, he doesn't get all that much screentime, but he unwittingly helps reinforce Bambi and Faline's love for each other as adults, and he has a significant role and a much more fleshed out personality in the midquel despite still having a relatively small amount of time on-screen in it (roughly 7 to 8 minutes total).
* SmugSmiler: Ronno often sports an arrogant smile as a fawn due to his cocky personality, but as a yearling he switches to being a PerpetualFrowner instead.
* SmugSnake: As a byproduct of his arrogant attitude, Ronno is a real smartass who constantly speaks in a condescending sarcastic tone of voice to others (Bambi in particular) and loves to rudely insult them to take them down a notch, and is clearly full of himself, pretentiously thinking he's better than everyone else. In reality, he's a foolish, immature and selfish brat who deserves no respect from anyone, and at best he's a mildly strong bully who has a very bad tendency to overestimate himself and underestimate his opponent and situation, which often leads to many a BreakTheHaughty moment for him.
* TheSociopath: As a fawn, Ronno is gradually shown to have nearly all of the defining traits of one. He is [[HairTriggerTemper quick to anger]] and prone to violence if things dont go his way, [[LackOfEmpathy he is devoid of any empathy or conscience]] to speak of (to the extent that he's [[BrattyHalfPint even disrespectful to his own mother]]), [[ConsummateLiar tries to stack the deck in his favor]], [[AttentionWhore always tries to put the spotlight on himself without earning it]], [[ItsAllAboutMe completely puts his own desires before anyone elses]], and on top of all that, he is extremely arrogant, having a completely undeserved sense of [[EntitledBastard entitlement]] and [[{{Pride}} self-importance]] and shows absolutely no respect towards anyone else, not even the son of the Great Prince. It's {{subverted|trope}} as he does [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas love his mother]] deep down.
* SoreLoser: He does not take losing to Bambi well, which only fans the flames for his bullying towards him.
* SpoiledBrat: Its implied that Ronno's mother spoils him by putting up with his lousy attitude, hence why he's such a petulant MommasBoy.
* StartOfDarkness: The midquel serves as one for Ronno, showing just how a fawn could gradually devolve into the hulking monster he became in the original movie.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: As with Bambi, he's surprisingly strong even as a fawn, being capable of making very long leaps (though he just slightly falls short of Bambi's leap over a chasm) and can put up a good one-on-one fight when he wants to.
* StupidEvil: Probably his primary flaw is that he prioritizes indulging his own ego over doing things that would actually benefit him or others, which causes trouble for not only Bambi and friends but himself as well.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Unlike the original movie, where he doesn't have a single line of dialogue, Ronno is fully voiced in the midquel. The newspaper comic adaptation, the first Dell Comic adaptation and the manga give him some small bits of dialogue too. As if to highlight the irony, Ronno does all the talking in their climatic fight in the midquel, while the furious Bambi doesn't so much as utter a single word.
* SummonBiggerFish: Ronno unwittingly pulls this on ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard himself]]'' when his attempt to continue fighting against Bambi accidentally gets Mena knocked into a trap set by Man, which immediately alerts a pack of his hunting dogs to their presence.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ronno may be able to intimidate others with his apt ability, but his bullying and haughty, anti-social attitude guarantees that he will ''never'' earn their friendship or respect in the way Bambi does, since Ronno basically expects everything to go entirely his way out of entitlement.
* ThinSkinnedBully: Ronno loves imposing over others weaker than him, but immediately gets annoyed or rouses with anger whenever anyone so much as [[CantTakeCriticism criticises him]] or stands up to him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Timeline wise, he grows from a cowardly, dimwitted bully to a rather sinister, hulking deer.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Ronno starts off a mere childish bully towards Bambi when they first meet. The midquel shows him embitter into a more personal rival, obsessed with besting and diminutizing Bambi. Taking this as CharacterDevelopment into the original film adds to his sinister form as an adult, who even seems to provide an animal example of ([[ImpliedTrope implied]]) AttemptedRape when he tries forcing Faline apart from Bambi.
* TranquilFury: At the end of the midquel and in the first film. When Ronno ''does'' hit his RageBreakingPoint, he becomes very calm, scowls and tries to ''kill'' Bambi on the spot. It's, [[NightmareFuel surprisingly unsettling]].
* TrashTalk: Ronno loves belittling and insulting Bambi to make himself seem better or to just get a rise out of him.
* TruthInTelevision: Ronno's behaviour, both as a fawn and adult, is actually much closer to the real life behaviour of deer than any other deer in the series besides the Great Prince. Real wild deer can get very pugnacious and hormonal and operate in a strict "survival of the fittest" and MightMakesRight heirarchy--real life would be nowhere as kind to his rival, and he'd probably be a dominant alpha male as an adult. Fortunately for Bambi and unfortunately for Ronno, the movies arent real life.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Ronno has a bad habit of getting in over his head in a fight, failing to take Bambi seriously due to his more demure nature. This ends with him getting his flank handed to him in both of the times they fought together.
* TheUnfettered: There is little low that Ronno won't stoop too to get what he wants, which extends to him trying to kill Bambi as an adult so he can have Faline all to himself.
* UnskilledButStrong: For a fawn, he's quite physically apt, but he's clearly not very bright and his arrogance constantly makes him do really reckless and stupid things.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His actions in the climax of the midquel nearly get Bambi and Mena killed by hunting dogs. Ironically, this also [[NiceJobFixingItVillain ends up galvanizing the relationship between Bambi and his father]].
* VeryPunchableMan: Ronno retroactively becomes this via the midquel due to becoming a full on HateSink and KarmicButtMonkey, but Bambi doesn't really get to let loose on him until they're yearlings.
* VillainsActHeroesReact: Played with. At first, Ronno is a much more proactive and assertive character than his rival Bambi, who has [[PinballProtagonist a very passive personality in comparison and initially has no control of the events going on around him as a child,]] and ''never'' intentionally instigates a conflict like Ronno does. If anything, part of the reason Bambi even learns to become more assertive and take the initiative is because [[CreateYourOwnHero Ronno's bullying unwittingly prods him into doing it.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: For instance, last we see him as a fawn, after boasting to Bambi about how they'll meet again, Ronno slips up and gets his nose bit by a nearby turtle, and he's reduced to a panicking mess as he runs off in pain for his mom while begging someone to get it off.
* VillainExitStageLeft: As a yearling, after being throughly defeated by Bambi, he's last seen limping off to parts unknown. The midquel trades this off by having Ronno [[ExitPursuedByABear comically running off after yet another painful and humiliating pratfall instead.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: A bullying antagonist and HateSink he may be, but Ronno turned out to be absolutely correct on how Man had a device to make themselves sound like a deer.
* VillainousCrush: In both movies, he wants Faline for himself and tries to drive her away from Bambi. Its completely one-sided on his part, as Faline clearly finds him unpleasant to be around.
* VillainousUnderdog: A particularly interesting case. He's ''supposed'' to be [[HateSink an unlikable bully]], but he's also such a hopelessly pitiful character [[BornUnlucky due to the sheer misfortune he keeps bringing on himself]] in spite of his [[AmbitionIsEvil very ambitious nature]] (as opposed to Bambi, who has a [[PinballProtagonist much more passive personality]] in comparison), that he boomerangs back into being a an IneffectualSympatheticVillain in the eyes of some viewers. It helps that his catalyst is that, while a palpable threat for the meek Bambi, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin he can never best him outright]].
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Despite being nowhere near the threat level of Man, and being in a lighthearted family film, and having some humorous qualities as a result of being a pitiful KarmicButtMonkey, Ronno still manages to stand out for being a cruel, unpleasant, and sociopathic creep with whose worst moments are not PlayedForLaughs.
* TheVoiceless: In the original film, he has absolutely no spoken dialogue (the Dell Comic adaptations of the movie and the manga do give him several lines and name him on-panel).
* WeWillMeetAgain: The last time Ronno meets Bambi in the midquel, he boasts to Bambi about how he'll be back again one day, [[ExitPursuedByABear just before he winds up in another pratfall that get his nose bitten by a turtle and sends him off screaming for his mom.]]
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Probably the one defining scene that sums up how selfless and noble Bambi is and how selfish and self-serving Ronno is in mere moments is the part where Ronno accidentally gets Mena caught in a trap set by Man. Despite Mena actually begging Bambi to run and save himself, he chooses to selflessly distract the dogs onto him and save her life. Ronno, on the other hand, despite boasting about taking on Man head on earlier and denigrating Bambi as a coward, [[DirtyCoward immediately takes off in terror, screaming for his mother.]]
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Ronno disses Bambi as being a coward in an early attempt to kick him down a notch, even though Ronno himself is revealed to be one later on.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Ronno only has a passing resemblance to his adult self as a fawn, having completely different fur and eye colors. He also has a much wider range of expression, whereas his adult self has a [[PerpetualFrowner perpetual scowl fixed on his face.]] This is undoubtedly a big factor in why some viewers don't immediately recognize him as the stag Bambi fought in the first movie in a younger form.
