Daddy Ricochet

Daddy Ricochet is Ricochet Rabbit's father and the current head of the Rabbit Family after the passing of his father, Granddaddy Ricochet, and the passing of his great-grandfather, Great-Granddaddy Ricochet. He is the sheriff of Ricochet's hometown Carrottop Canyon, where he continues to work to this day.

Personality
In contrast to his grandfather, father and several of his sons, Ricochet III is a serious and strong-minded person, often bordering on annoyingly stubborn. While a rather strict parent who tends to hold back on his affection, he does care for his children and is deeply protective of his daughters. His taciturn nature doesn't bring him close to his children, Rudy and Ricochet in particular, the former with whom he doesn't get along well. Because of this, he somewhat resented the closeness that Ricochet had with his grandfather. Like most of the family, he was prejudiced towards coyotes and taught Ricochet to fear them because of their nature, as well as the fact that one of the criminals who killed his brother was a coyote. When Ricochet befriended and later hired Droop-a-Long Coyote to be his deputy, the older Ricochet didn't treat him with much kindness, but later years he would soften up towards Droop-a-Long, though he is much more blunt on the coyote's weaknesses than his son is.

As a sheriff, he is more by the book than Ricochet, and one thing they do share in common is their hatred towards sheriffs who go rogue. Unlike his son, he believes that all criminals, regardless of the severity of their crimes, have lost their chance for redemption and that they deserve to rot in jail or die, and won't hesitate to tell them that, either. The death of his daughter Rose only intensified that thought, and as such, he and Ricochet often clash on this viewpoint.
