Clarice the Doe (voiced and sung by Janis Orenstein) - A pretty doe Rudolph meets at take-off practice; she immediately develops a crush on him. In fact, it is Clarice who is part of the reason why Rudolph knows how to fly in the special: she tells Rudolph he is cute and that gives him encouragement, resulting in a giant leap through the air. Even when the cap pops off Rudolph's nose, Clarice remains faithful to him and follows him into the woods, where she performs one of the special's musical numbers "There's Always Tomorrow." She disobeys her father when she befriends Rudolph, even to the point of running off into the woods with Rudolph's parents to go looking for him. The trio is captured by the monster, but Rudolph rescues them in time. Despite the fact that, in reality, reindeer of both sexes grow antlers, neither Clarice nor any other doe in the special has antlers; the female reindeer (including Clarice) also have much lighter fur than their male counterparts.
