Bio:

After his parents are killed in Africa when he's 9 years old, Eric and his little brother Tommy began living with their aunt Sally, who is a Forest Ranger. Although Eric misses his parents terribly, especially his father, he took to living with Sally very quickly, as his love for wildlife and being outdoors was something he and Sally shared. Being that he prefers the company of animals over the company of other teenagers, he's labled a weirdo in school and is shunned by his peers. In his sophmore year, his aunt bought him a puppy; a Great Pyrenees named Frostbite. Eric loves his dog and comes to enjoy spending time in the woods with his canine companion. He worries about his younger brother's obsession with the local wild deer, and he also despises his neighbor, Vic, who kills animals (particularly endangered ones) for fun and sport. Even though Eric is a good-looking young man, he is still mocked by the girls in his school and pushed around by the other boys. Because of this, Eric has very little regard for his fellow humans.

Relation to Bambi:

His Aunt is the local Forest Ranger---her tower is located in Bambi's forest--- Bambi runs into Sally in chapter 3 of "Miracles of the Forest".

His younger brother, Tommy, made friends with Bambi's younger son, Raven (and named him "Popcorn") in chapter 8 of "Miracles of the Forest".

Eric's dog, Frostbite, also becomes significantly involved with Bambi's children later on in the story.
