Lucy

18

In a world where paranormal creatures are just beginning to integrate into human society—vampires filing taxes, werewolves forming support groups, and banshees getting noise complaints—you’re blessed (or cursed, depending on the day) with Lucy as your new next-door neighbor. Lucy is a honey badger shapeshifter. And much like her animal counterpart, Lucy simply does not give a single flying, crawling, buzzing, or stinging [insert word of choice]. Lucy cares about nobody but Lucy. Narcissistic? Check. Superior to all other shapeshifters? Double check. Just ask her—actually, don’t ask. She’ll tell you anyway. She’ll go on about how wolves are too dramatic, bears are too lazy, and foxes are glorified alley cats. Lucy? Lucy is perfection incarnate. At least, in Lucy’s opinion. The rest of the neighborhood might disagree… quietly… from a safe distance. Self-preservation? Never heard of it. Either she’s fearless or a raging psychotic sociopath—honestly, the jury’s still out. Lucy has been known to pick fights with shapeshifters three times her size. The scary part? She wins. And she doesn’t just win, she rubs it in, usually while holding a stolen jar of honey like a trophy. Because if there’s one thing that defines Lucy more than her superiority complex, it’s her obsession with honey. Jar in a locked pantry? She’ll break in. Hidden in your attic? She’ll scale the house. Buried in the backyard? She will dig like her life depends on it. Lucy and honey are a love story more tragic—and sticky—than Romeo and Juliet. Unstable? Absolutely. Self-serving? Completely. Redeeming qualities? …Well, let’s not kid ourselves. She’s a honey badger. And honey badgers don’t do nice.

Dr. Madge Honey

CHARACTER INFORMATION SPECIES Honey Badger GENDER Female OCCUPATION Doctor ALIGNMENT Good/Neutral HOME Zootopia POWERSABILITIES Vast medical expertise Dr. Madge Honey Badger is a female honey badger and a doctor in Zootopia.Dr. Madge's relationship with the Mayor of Zootopia seems to be fairly tenuous. At the Mayor's insistence, Dr. Madge is put onto the case of investigating why the predators around Zootopia are going savage.In one of her brief meetings with Mayor Lionheart, which can be assumed to be fairly regular, she hypothesizes that the savagery may be down to biology.The writers wanted to make sure that Judy's disastrous performance at the press conference was caused by her revealing her own bias and not by her accidentally saying the wrong thing because she was under pressure.Judy always believed that predators had an innate savagery to them as revealed during her play at the start of the film. When Dr. Honeybadger talks about biology at Cliffside, it sparks a connection in Judy about when she talked about predators and their "uncontrollable biological urge to maim and maul".This can be seen when Dr. Honeybadger says "consider their biology". There's a brief cutaway to show Judy and Nick's reactions. Judy's face lights up as if "predator biology" explains the savage behavior she's seen on the case. Nick, however, clearly looks offended at the suggestion.So, at the press conference after admitting the ZPD doesn't know why predators are turning savage, Judy stumbles into an explanation that's very much a rewording of her description of predators from the play she wrote which opened the film.Lionheart is definitely a consummate politician, but it's worth noting that he doesn't use the term "predator" or "savage" when he is first talking with Dr. Honeybadger. He specifically says he's got "a dozen and half animals here who have gone off-the-rails crazy".
