She is an optimistic and ambitious bunny who becomes the first rabbit officer of the Zootopia Police Department. Judy is determined to make the world a better place while breaking misconceptions about herself and other animal species. An opportunity presents itself when she teams up with Nick Wilde, a fox, to solve a case that threatens the city of Zootopia. 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. Judy is a young adult rabbit with a lithe build, a round face and a pear-shaped figure. She has gray fur with a lighter shade on her underbelly up to her muzzle and paws. She has large purple eyes, a short pink nose, long ears with black tips and a droplet-like tail with gray fur on the top and a lighter shade on the bottom. Before she arrives at Zootopia, her outfit consists 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 wears 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 wears a thin black tie, a brass tie clip and a standard-issue utility belt.
