Officer Judith Laverne Hopps[2][additional citation(s) needed] is a European rabbit and one of the central characters of the franchise along with Nick Wilde.
Development
For the initial production of the film, Judy was not the protagonist of the story, instead being a sidekick for Nick, with the plot centered around him. She was an already established lieutenant of the Zootopia Police Department, with the goal of assisting Nick in clearing his name after being framed for a crime he did not commit.[3] To Nick, the Zootopia city was broken from the beginning, and following the story of a cynical protagonist would degrade both the message of the story and the city itself. With Judy being an optimistic protagonist, and her struggle to insert herself within the harsh world of reality, the story and themes made much more sense.[4]
In Zootopia
Since Judy was a child, she has dreamed of becoming Zootopia's first police bunny, and although she finally succeeds, on her first day she is assigned to issue parking tickets as a meter maid. While she is working, she runs into Nick Wilde, a fox who wanted to buy his son, Finnick, a Jumbo pop but had no money, so Judy offers to pay for it. However, she discovers that Nick and Finnick are not father and son, but two con men who wanted to use the ice pop to resell small ice pops. Subsequently, she is caught up in a manhunt for Duke Weaselton, but although she succeeds, the ruckus she causes enrages Chief Bogo. Between that and promising Mrs. Otterton to find her missing husband Emmitt, Bogo prepares to expel her from the police force for giving Mrs. Otterton false hope. Instead, it offers her 48 hours to solve the case, or else she will be fired.
Investigating, Judy decides to ask Nick for help, who introduces her to his friend Flash from the traffic department to find the limo where Mr. Otterton was last seen. The limo turns out to belong to Mr. Big, a crime boss who is about to freeze Judy and Nick, until he is stopped by his daughter Fru Fru, who recognizes Judy for saving her during Duke's chase. Mr. Big, grateful for saving his daughter, gives her the address of the limo driver, Manchas, who tells them that Otterton went savage and fled after attacking him. At that point, Manchas ends up going savage as well. Judy and Nick continue their investigation, discovering from traffic cameras that Manchas was taken in a van to an asylum, where they find Mr. Otterton and other missing predators, and that it is Mayor Lionheart who has them locked up.
Judy feels proud to solve the case, but because the fame gained from the predatory animals after the case going wild negatively affects Nick, and the situation begins to cause chaos in the city, she decides to resign from the police force out of guilt.
Judy returns to her family farm in Bunnyburrow to work with her parents. Still, upon discovering that the flowers Weaselton had stolen were the cause of predators in Zootopia going savage, Judy returns to Zootopia, where after tearfully reconciling with Nick, they both return to investigate the case. Finally, they discover that the mastermind behind the plot was Bellwether, whom they set up to record her confession, bringing her to justice. Subsequently, Nick joins the police force, becomes Judy's partner, and Bogo assigns the two to their first job together.
During the credits, Judy and Nick attend Gazelle's concert.
In Zootopia 2
Judy and Nick continue as partners at the Zootopia PD. After a mysterious reptile arrives in Zootopia and turns Zootopia upside down, the duo must go undercover to new parts of town to solve the case.[5] In her zeal to clear their names, she briefly estranged from Nick, which was made worse when Nick was arrested upon being them being separated as Judy was forced to escape with Gary De'Snake and Pawbert Lynxley. Eventually, after being nearly murdered by Pawbert's treachery, Judy is able to save Nick from his attempted self-sacrifice to stop Pawbert, allowing them to reconcile with mutual declarations of love before together pursuing and capturing Pawbert.
During the credits, Judy and Nick attend Gazelle's concert at the Burning Mammal festival. In the post-credits, Judy puts her recorder pen on the window. After threatening her neighbors who were listening in upon her departure, a feather lands near it.

Officer Nicholas Piberius Wilde[citation needed] is a red fox, and one of the central characters of the franchise along with Judy Hopps.
Development
For the initial development of the film, Nick served as the film's protagonist. He was a wanted fox on a mission to clear his name after being framed for a crime he did not commit, with Judy Hopps, a lieutenant of the Zootopia Police Department, assisting him in achieving this goal.[3] Nick also was every bit as sarcastic and cynical, but with a strong dislike towards the city of Zootopia, which was more of a dystopian society, with direct abuse and cruelty against predators. In production, the filmmakers felt the tale of optimistic Judy Hopps, an ambitious bunny that wants to achieve her dreams in what she believes to be a wondrous city, would make for a more compelling story with the message of preconceived notions.[4]
In Zootopia
Nick is a con artist who tricks Judy into buying a large ice pop for his son because he had no money, later Judy discovering that his "son" is actually his partner Finnick, with whom Nick used the ice pop to resell small ice pops. Later, Judy asks for his help in solving the case of the disappearance of Emmitt Otterton, and although Nick initially refuses, Judy blackmails him with revealing that he has not filed his taxes. Nick introduces Judy to his friend Flash from the traffic department to find the limo where Mr. Otterton was last seen. The limo turns out to belong to Mr. Big, a crime boss Nick has had problems with in the past, and who is about to freeze Judy and Nick, until he is stopped by his daughter Fru Fru, who recognizes Judy for saving her in Little Rodentia. Mr. Big, grateful for saving his daughter, gives Judy the address of the limo driver, Manchas, who tells them that Otterton fled after attacking him. At that point, Manchas ends up the same as well. Later, after standing up to Bogo, Nick reveals to Judy that as a child he suffered discrimination from other children for the simple fact of being a predator.
Judy and Nick continue their investigation, discovering from the traffic cameras that Manchas was taken in a van to an asylum, where they find Mr. Otterton and the other 13 missing predators, in addition to discovering that it is Mayor Lionheart, who has them locked up away from the public. But the fact of having solved the case causes the inhabitants of Zootopia to be afraid that all predators will end up in the wild, and seeing that even Judy is afraid, he gets angry and offended seeing that he will always be discriminated against. Months later, Judy apologizes to Nick and asks for his help in solving the case, earning his forgiveness. Finally, they end up discovering that the mastermind behind all the plot was Bellwether, who they manage to set up to record her confession, bringing her to justice. Subsequently, Nick joins the police force, becoming Judy's partner, both being assigned by Chief Bogo to their first job as a team.
In Zootopia 2
Nick and Judy continue as partners at the Zootopia PD. After a mysterious reptile arrives in Zootopia and turns Zootopia upside down, the duo must go undercover to new parts of town to solve the case.[5] There is some irritation between them in light of Judy's reckless determination to solve the case regardless of their fact that they are framed fugitives from the law. They separated at a clffside lodge when the ZPD arrest him while Gary De'Snake and Pawbert Lynxley spirit Judy away. Finding Nibbles Mapplestick in prison, the pair escape, and get a ride from Flash in his sports car to get to Judy and help her at a critical time. Eventually, at the weather wall, Nick is attacked by Pawbert who had attacked Judy and then Nibbles as part of his plan to impress his abusive family. At near-certain sacrifice of his own life, Nick is able to get Gary's antivenom injector to the snake to save Judy, who then manages to save Nick from falling to his death with Gary's help. After confessing their mutual love, Nick and Judy pursue and capture Pawbert with Gary and Nibbles' help.

With help from Judy, Nick and Nibbles, the truth was revealed and Ebenezer's crimes were exposed to the public by his descendants. He and Judy are betrayed by Pawbert, who poisons Judy with snake venom administered similarly to how his grandfather did to his maid, and dumps Gary out in the snow, stealing his anti-venom pen – the only means to cure Judy.
