Judy Hopps --UPDATED!--

Judy believes that predators and prey should be treated equally and works to follow that belief. However, due to her childhood experience, having been bullied, attacked and injured by a fox, Judy harbors a degree of unconscious fear of predators (mainly foxes), such that while she is aware that predators don't pose a threat, there is a small part of her that does believe they could revert to their primitive savage ways. After being pestered into taking a canister of fox repellent during her move from Bunnyburrow to Zootopia, Judy makes the conscious decision to keep the canister by her side for a majority of the film. When she first spots Nick looking dubious in the street, she immediately assumes him to be up to something and follows him inside ready to use her repellent just because he was a fox. When it appears that Nick was merely an innocent dad looking to buy ice cream for his son, she feels ashamed of her profiling, which causes her to overcompensate in hopes of redeeming herself, which ultimately makes her an easy mark for Nick's Jumbo Pop scam. Judy's time in Zootopia will cause her to blossom into a more mature, practical, diligent, and legitimately progressive individual. Through her experiences, she discovers the downside of having an overly idealistic mentality, and that the world can be a problematic place, filled with issues such as prejudice and stereotype, showing that all mammals—be they predator or prey, foxes or rabbits—can be victims of bias, even when it is unintentional. All animals have feelings, hopes, and dreams, all of which can be destroyed by preconceived notions. As such, all should strive to live and accept one another for who they are inside, and not the stereotypes they have been labeled as by society. Using her success and experiences as proof, she implores those around her to try and make an effort to see beyond stereotypes, to prove your worth and reach your goals in spite of all that may go again. After discovering Nick's reputation as a con artist, having been a pawn in one of his schemes, Judy grew a dislike toward him, and his bitter attitude toward the world, and herself. She took pleasure in getting her revenge by tricking him and simultaneously blackmailing him into aiding her in the Otterton case, showing the two were bitter enemies at the start. Despite her annoyance with his cynicism and wise-cracks, Judy was intentionally responsible for saving Nick's life throughout their first adventure, and when this is brought up by Nick himself, she simply reasons it to be part of her job as an officer showing that, despite their unhealthy history at the time, she was above treating him recklessly. She was also able to unabashedly commend the fox when his own intelligence greatly assisted their case, giving credit where it was due in spite of everything. This is repaid once Nick, after witnessing the bigotry Judy faces at the hands of her "peers", stands up for the rabbit and becomes a willing accomplice in her goal to not only find Otterton, but prove herself to Bogo. Once Nick explains his history, and the reasoning behind his own bitterness, Judy's views and opinions on the fox change drastically, and the two start to form a meaningful relationship built on mutual trust and understanding. Her friendship with Nick was responsible for opening Judy's eyes to reality, showing that the world is not a perfect place where everyone gets along, and that prejudice is something that effects everyone, in ways you may not expect, making it all the more important to call out bigotry and make real effort to right the wrongs that it causes. Judy was able to fully admit this to Nick after she, herself, performed acts of prejudice, being more concerned with proving her care for him than labeling herself progressive, exemplifying the strength of their relationship. By the epilogue, Judy and Nick's relationship was shown to be healthier and stronger than ever. The two are seen regularly spending time with one another, both during work and after hours, and although they share mutual respect, they still partake in rounds of playful banter, innocently echoing their former rivalry. By this point in time, Judy willingly admits that she loves Nick, sentiments that he returns.
