Bambi grows up very attached to his mother, with whom he spends most of his time. The fawn is befriended by an eager, energetic male rabbit named Thumper, who helps to teach him to walk and speak, a young male skunk he mistakenly calls "Flower" (who is so flattered, he keeps the name) and a female fawn named Faline.
Petunia (also known as Miss Skunk) is a minor character in Bambi. Toward the end of the movie, she falls in love with Flower. She is sweet, kind, and friendly. She is immediately smitten with Flower when she first sees him.
Like a lot of newborns, Bambi doesn't get it all right immediately. Digging his nose into a bed of flowers, young Bambi's met by the twitching nose of a skunk, who he immediately labels “Flower!”, much to Thumper's delight. But the skunk doesn't mind being called flower, in fact, it becomes his name.
Background. Thumper is a young, comical rabbit and is also a well-known inhabitant of the forest. Despite being mistaken for a female by viewers, he is actually male.
Thumper is a fictional rabbit character from Disney's animated film Bambi (1942). He is known and named for his habit of thumping his left hind foot. The young adult version of Thumper also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character in Fantasyland and at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Miss Bunny is Thumper's love interest and mate in Disney's 1942 film, Bambi. She appears in only one scene when she spots him and falls in love with him after she tricks him into noticing her. She sings and walks up to him and says her only line: "Hello" and is last seen petting his ear.

Faline – Bambi's love interest and also, in the book, his cousin – appears in both, but she and Bambi are estranged by the end of the original, not living as a happy family as Disney has it.
Whereas she was referred to as a roe deer in Bambi: A Life in the Woods, her animated version was inspired by white-tailed and mule deer viewed by the animators in preparation for creating the film.
Taking pity on his abandoned son, the Great Prince leads Bambi home as he reveals to him that he is his father. Next year, Bambi has matured into a young stag, and his childhood friends have also entered young adulthood.
The death of Bambi's mom is often cited as one of the saddest movie moments of all time, and it's easy to see why. That's a lot of blood for an animated movie marketed to kids! According to this book, even Walt Disney's daughter objected to Bambi's mother dying.

Thumper : If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. Thumper : "Eating greens is a special treat, It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat." I made that last part up myself. Young Thumper : Those are birds.
While the original 1923 book, “Bambi, a Life in the Woods,” was written by an Austrian man and most likely set in the woods of Europe, evidence of events such as Day's trip and the Maine deer point to the Pine Tree State as the setting for the movie adaption.
