| ~ Ranger Tabes' most famous quote. |
Ranger Dana Tabes, best shortened to Ranger Tabes or abbreviated to Tabes, is a supporting character of the We Bare Bears franchise.
As her name suggests, Ranger Tabes is a professional park ranger who boasts an ambitious and confident disposition, and since her childhood, was on a long-lasting mission to hunt for and investigate Charlie, the friendly Bigfoot that she encountered since she was a child. Thus, her childhood dream was becoming a ranger after her own mother; more specifically, becoming a park ranger and tracking down a mysterious creature (who is revealed to be the aforementioned Charlie) that had saved her from a fall as a child, but she was only able to ever catch a small glimpse of the creature. Right from the beginning, Tabes was introduced with a heavily confident, persistent and outright obsessive personality, but thanks to the bears and the Poppy Rangers' positive influence on her, her once eccentric personality has been drastically toned down, and furthermore, once she found the creature at long last, Tabes decides to befriend Charlie instead of hunting him down.
Tabes (as an adult) is voiced by Cameron Esposito, and (as a child) by Alison Fernandez.

- Although Ranger Tabes was introduced as quite too persistent and overconfident right from the start, Tabes wholly reforms herself from/wholly subverts her questionable factors that she potentially once had from the start, especially in her titular debut episode, Ranger Tabes, leaving her with virtually no corrupting factors at all, and being among the few characters in We Bare Bears to be virtually devoid of corrupting factors, along with being immune to moral corruption.
- Ranger Tabes is the one who raised the team of girl scouts, the Poppy Rangers (Diaz, Parker, Murphy, Nguyen and Wallace), into heroes.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- Despite her admirable actions and lacking corrupting factors, Tabes does still manage to slightly fail the admirable standards to Grizz, who saved dozens of endangered grizzly bears from a wildfire.
Trivia[]
- Ranger Tabes was originally classified as a Heroic Benchmark, but upon reanalysis, she was proposed and approved as Near Pure Good after it was discovered that her actions throughout the series are admirable enough to make her pass the goodness zone, only slightly failing the admirable standards to Grizz nonetheless.
- Ranger Tabes and the Poppy Rangers are the only park rangers in We Bare Bears to be considered Near Pure Good, as the rest of the other park rangers are too standard in their heroism (e.g. Ranger Martinez and the Ranger Con Rangers).
