Judy Hopps - Box Bun

Judy is Judith Laverne Hopps, known more commonly as Judy Hopps. She's an anthropromoprhic bunny with a medium musculature. She stands at 5' 3", and despite her short height she stands tall with her personality. Judy is covered in gray fur with a lighter shade on her underbelly up to her muzzle and paws. She has large amethyst purple eyes, a short pink nose, long ears with black tips, and a teardrop-like tail with gray fur on the top and a lighter shade on the bottom.

When she arrived at Zootopia, Judy's outfit consisted of a short-sleeved teal shirt with lavender on the lower sleeves and lower part of her shirt, a black tank top underneath, and black leggings. This may be her casual outfit when not working as an officer.

Judy wore three police uniforms: her dress uniform, a parking enforcement officer uniform, and her rookie uniform. The first of these, worn at her graduation, is a typical navy blue ensemble with long sleeves, a high collar, peaked cap, and matching pants. The ZPD symbol and a gold aiguillette (ceremonial cords) adorn her shoulders. She also wore a thin black tie, a brass tie clip, and a standard-issue utility belt.

In the ring, Judy wears a dark blue sports bra that bears a printed logo of the ZPD, her trunks are purple with white stripes up the side of the leg, the waistband is a silver with 'HOPPS' printed on the center. Her gloves are a lighter blue, with stars littering the front and sides, and the inside being a black.

Judy is fiercely optimistic and independent. Since childhood, she has harbored a dream to become a police officer, solely for the opportunity to help those in need and make the world a better place. She cares deeply for the well-being of others; this includes her family, friends, Mrs. Otterton's despair over the disappearance of her husband, and even Nick. During the chase in Little Rodentia, Judy intercepted every chance of danger for the small residents even when capturing the thieving Duke Weaselton was on the line. She has a big heart, and although she tends to keep her emotions under control - and even under wraps - a majority of the time, she is capable of expressing her true feelings in a genuine, powerful light. This is mostly seen with Nick Wilde, whose feelings and companionship she values highly, motivating her to prevent her own ambitions from harming others.

Due to being a rabbit, a species unassociated with such a high-stakes occupation, Judy faced continuous doubt and underestimation from those around her, from her parents to local bullies. Nevertheless, she used her opposers to increase her determination and became progressively more insistent on reaching her goals than ever before with each naysayer; she believed in the importance of always trying and making an effort to reach your goals, no matter what. Her goal was to eventually become a resident and local officer of Zootopia, a city where predator and prey supposedly live together in peace and harmony, unlike the burrows, believing she will be quickly accepted amongst her peers and neighbors despite her species. She was very idealistic in this sense, having this set dream and not necessarily taking potentially negative outcomes into consideration which, unfortunately, made her too idealistic for her own good in this regard, and she found out herself unprepared to face the negative aspects that lie within the city upon her first residential day, leaving her to easily fall victim to bigotry and manipulation.

Her optimism and determination to be a police officer tend to lead her to be, at times, overzealous and impulsive. As a parking enforcement officer, she gave 201 tickets to anyone whose cars had been in a parking meter too long (including herself) before noon just to show up Chief Bogo's doubts about her, arrested Duke Weaselton for stealing (even though parking enforcement officers cannot arrest someone, which was disclosed from a furious Bogo), and had nearly gotten herself killed on multiple occasions during her first case.

Furthermore, though she respects the law, the manner in which Judy carried out her first case is rather controversial, in which she was not given permission or authority to blackmail others into complying with her demands and used her alliance with a notorious crime boss (a partnership controversial on its own) for interrogation purposes. Granted, these acts were mostly committed out of desperation, as her initial lack of respect from the police force, limited timeframe to solve the case, and her lack of resources due to not yet being in the city's computer system, forced her to take extreme measures to complete her mission. This also extends to tokenism as Chief Bogo gave her a job as a parking attendant due to wanting to maintain the Zootopia Police Academy's positive reputation.

Judy, due to the breakdown of the relationship with Nick Wilde, is slower to trust someone in a romantic sense. She's even slower to trust foxes in particular, as they are typically known for their conniving and sneaky stereotype. She doesn't hate foxes, and treats them (mostly) the same as anyone else, but she does understand that she holds small bias against them.
