*Bonnie MacFarlane is a recurring character in the Red Dead series, appearing as a major character in Red Dead Redemption, and as a stranger in Red Dead Online. She is also referenced in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Bonnie is the daughter of Drew MacFarlane, the owner of MacFarlane's Ranch, and has spent her whole life working on the ranch with her father. She was born circa 1884. When she was young, her father briefly employed a "French" governess (who Bonnie suspected of not being truly French, due to the fact she spoke Russian) to teach her the etiquette expected of a lady. This would be the first of multiple governesses that Drew would hire in order to raise her standards and improve her diction.

Although Bonnie had six brothers, five of them died from either illness or accidents. Her sole surviving brother, Patrick MacFarlane, moved to New York around 1901, where he would work as a banker in Manhattan. With the majority of her generation deceased and the only other surviving male child leaving the family, Bonnie felt it was up to her to become the man of their family's ranch.

Bonnie would spend her adult years hard at work helping her father maintain the ranch, rarely ever leaving Hennigan's Stead. Although she had many suitors, she found them to be too "countrified" to form a connection with. Compounded by her increasing age, work ethic and the lack of appealing suitors, she would remain unmarried.

As New Austin became increasingly violent and unstable between 1907 and 1911, Bonnie would have to take precautionary measures to keep herself and the ranch safe from outlaws. No longer feeling safe in her own bed, Bonnie would spend her nights patrolling her property.

By October of 1911, Bonnie is apprehensive about the future. Due to the region's rampant crime, mounting debts, increased competition brought by railway companies and industrialization as well as her father's declining health, Bonnie is uncertain if the ranch will survive another five years.

In 1907, Bonnie is mentioned along with her father Drew having to flee New Austin temporarily due to a cholera outbreak afflicting the populace in the territory.

Bonnie's fate is unspecified. In spite of her reservations about the ranch's longevity, it is still operative as of November 1914. Jack Marston is still welcomed at the property and is able to make use of the cabin his father once recovered in. Bonnie is never seen by Jack, although the ranch residents discuss her presence just as they did three years prior.

Bonnie is a compassionate and no-nonsense individual. With the loss of most of her brothers and departure of her sole surviving one, she viewed the responsibility of maintaining her family's ranch to fall onto her. As such, she helps out the farm and her father in any way as she can. Bonnie's selflessness can be seen when she ventures to Fort Mercer and saves a grievously injured John, at great risk to her own safety.

Bonnie is more than willing to get her hands dirty, maintaining the ranch in spite of increasingly difficult circumstance and spending her nights patrolling her property.*
