Rhonda

Rhonda (last name and maiden name unknown) is a tigress, and a hunter on the competitive hunting team at Beige University. She is married to Quinn, a porcupine.

Rhonda was first encountered as girlfriend and team hunting partner of Vin Vulpen when they competed unsuccessfully against Rudy Dewclaw and Fiona Fennec for the doubles spot on Caliban Academy's hunting team. Since Vin was on steroids at the time, some believed incorrectly that she was on steroids as well. Her large size is a disadvantage due to the tiger's hunting style of stalking, but she got over it, and proved excellent as the closer on the mixed foursome of Caliban's hunting team, along with Fiona, Rudy and Bruno.

During their first year together, Fiona tried to set Bruno up with Rhonda as a date for a homecoming dance. At the dance, she drew the attention of several feline males, and eventually found Edgar Carnassial as a boyfriend. Since Edgar is a lion, he expected Rhonda to hunt for him, a relationship Rhonda accepted/tolerated for a while.

For another dance, Rhonda and Edgar participated in a ruse to draw Rudy to the dance, where Fiona, who was out of town at the time, would surprise him with her presence. They did so by pretending that Rhonda dumped Edgar for cheating on him, and Fiona urging Rudy to take her to the dance since Fiona supposedly wasn't there.

In her senior year, she went solo on the hunting team to win a scholarship, and got a partial scholarship at Beige University. She got a dorm with Lindesfarne Dewclaw, Rudy's adopted sister, who gave her tutoring help.

While at Beige University, Lindesfarne asked her for help when she found out that a previously-unknown pre-arranged marriage may scuttle her plans to marry her fiance, Fenton Fuscus. As it turns out, Rhonda was tiring of her arrangement with Edgar, and carrying on an online relationship on the virtual world Ninth Life. She suspected her online flame was a porcupine because of his behavior (including putting corks on his whiskers as if they were quills), and sure enough, the person behind him, Quinn, was a porcupine. To break Lindesfarne out of her pre-arranged marriage with Quinn, Rhonda agreed to marry him. Although Lindesfarne originally planned for them to annul the marriage as soon as the contract was broken, Quinn and Rhonda hit it off, and decided to stay married. Rhonda was more than eager to leave Edgar. She won over Quinn's parents, who were rabbits (Quinn was adopted), by saving them when Edgar tried to eat them. She moved in with Quinn and his parents.
