Some information about RABBIT
Description: Brown or tan. Typically rabbity features (because E.H. Shepard drew him from life).
General Traits: One of the three most
intelligent animals in the Forest. As an organizer, rivaled only by Christopher Robin himself; apparently wants
to run everything and everyone in Christopher Robin's name. Has a Captainish air about him, driven by a strong
need for order. Has an abundance of friends and relations, who play bit parts in the stories. Also has a certain devious streak, plotting
against Kanga and Roo at one time and Tigger at another to bend their behavior to his will.
Special Traits: By general consent,
is Clever and has Brain (which may explain, in Pooh's words, "why he never understands anything"). The
Forest's best reader and speller, aside from Christopher Robin (who begins as the Forest's only
speller, but does not remain so). Second only to Kanga (and possibly Tigger) as a runner
in the Pooh Books. Fond of making lists and drawing up agendas. Rivaled only by Eeyore in his consistent resentment
of Tigger's exuberant ways.
Famous lines: "Pooh, you haven't
any brain." "Piglet, you haven't any pluck." "Owl, you and I have brains. The others have fluff.
If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest -- and when I say thinking I mean thinking
-- you and I must do it." |
