Nick Wilde



Nick Wilde is a 32-year old male fox working in the ZPD. He starts out as the partner of Judy Hopps, eventually falling in love with her and later becomes her husband.

Backstory
Just like Judy, Nick had a dream of fitting in and making the world a better place. Living in a simple yet loving fox family in Downtown, he really wanted to join Zootopia´s Junior Scouts. Unfortunately, he was rejected cruelly for being a predator, and that prejudice kept going throughout his younger years. It almost made him give up all hope of leading a good life, as he started to work as a hustler and a conman along with his best friend, the fennec fox Finnick in the city underworld. This lasted for years, until that one fateful day when he came across Judy during his ice cream hustle. Semi-reluctantly, he joined forces on the rabbit in order to solve the Nighthowler Crisis, as the two started to get along and build a strong bond based on trust, caring and understanding. Despite occasional hardships, the two made it through, and Nick was willing to continue that path as Judy´s partner.

Things changed soon, when the fox´s deeper feelings for the beautiful rabbit started to slowly rise. He had always had a bit of a crush on Judy, but now that they got to know and care about one another more, that friendship started to blossom into love. Having been heartbroken once, Nick was a bit unsure about it at first, but eventually found the courage to ask the rabbit out, which turned out a success. The fox was so happy that the mammal who made his life much better than it had ever been had found her place in his heart. Nick and Judy spent two years together dating and doing their job in the force, with the fox finally marrying her after that. Like Judy, Nick got a promotion too as a sergeant in the ZPD, and soon became a father to their adopted child Bianca Wilde. He lived the rest of his life peacefully with his wife, having found happiness at last.
