# Bunny Brown — Black No More character guide

> Bunny Brown in Black No More by George Schuyler.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Bunny

**First appearance:** 0003-i

## Snapshot

Max's cherubic, camel-coated pal from the old 15th regiment, a Douglass Bank teller and fellow gay blade who prefers action to worry and tags along wherever the scheme leads.

## Who they are

Bunny Brown claps Max on the shoulder outside the Honky Tonk Club, resplendent in spats and a narrow-brimmed fedora, ready to shrug off a lost woman and find a party instead. A man of action rather than reflection, he soldiers through the movement's schemes with a yawn and a wisecrack, puncturing Matthew's grand political plans with blunt questions like who exactly they intend to deport. His easy loyalty and sharper instincts make him the grounded counterweight to Max's restlessness and Matthew's bombast.
