Any Watership Down fans around here? The movie is based on a book, and the rather adult, violent story revolves around a group of rabbits searching for a safe home. One of my favorite films!

I like Bigwig because he's stubborn and a bit hot-headed. He likes to push his authority around. But he's a brave, strong rabbit that stands up for his rights and the rights of others.

Well, Boss, you *do* know that Bigwig means "leader of a group" or, even better!, that THINKS he's the leader. :3

Right you are, Lil' Mug!  Bigwig is what he's called throughout the book pretty much, but it's actually his nickname. In the rabbits language, Lapine, his name is Thlayli, meaning "fur-head." (Bigwig has a big tuft of furry fluff atop his head. How cute!! X3 ) |
