==Appearance==
Lola is a female rabbit that is a female counterpart of Bugs Bunny. She has tan fur, blonde bangs, long eyelashes, short buck teeth, violent shadow eyelids and a short round puffed cotton tail. She has aqua colored eyes and she is 3'2" tall. The only rabbit thing she visibly lacks is the whiskers. She has a very shapely body due her working out. 
She wears a purple/blue rubber band on both ears like a ponytail. Like many other anthropomorphic women, she displays a very busty upper chest. In her debut, she wore white tank tops, a black jacket and blue shorts. 
Her clothing often shows off her underbelly. During the game, Lola, along with the rest of the toons, wore basketball clothing. She is shown to wear many different types of clothes throughout her appearances.
As an infant, she has fully golden yellow fur, her chin and belly were all white, her tail is cotton like, and her hair was in bangs that match her body. She wears a purple bow that is tied around her ears and her gloves are all doily like.
In the sitcom show, Lola is similar to her debut except she has a bigger mouth and set of buck teeth with her eyelashes much longer and her tail similar to Bugs. She still wears her hair ban despite the unmatched personality. Throughout season 1, she wore purple clothing with yellow lines then in season 2 wore blue with white lining.
In the "New Looney Tunes", she wore pink or white tank tops, pink straps tied around her ponytail ears and red or pink shorts. Although she has her curves, they weren’t as similar as her debut appearance and her underbelly was covered. Her hair seemed much fluffier and her tail similar to Bugs in the series as well. In her first appearance, she wore a long white dress with a golden hair ban.
In the sequel "New Legacy", Lola was given a less sexual body as her chest was much smaller and her body was still thin but had no curves. She had several clothing alternatives in the movie. Like the other tunes, she wore blue basketball clothes.
In the "Builders" series, Lola wears dark blue shirt and blue pants seemed to be merged together like an bodysuit or overalls and overalls. Her hair ban is again circle shaped and purple colored like in the comics. Like the rest of the crew/team, she wears a hard hat while doing construction work.
In the "Looniversity" series, Lola’s looks and design is her previous appearances with her style of art in the series similar to the other toons. She wears a brown coat and as usual she wears athletic clothes until she puts on her chef’s clothes when coming to work. Unlike her others appearances, she doesn’t wear any gloves leaving her bare hands exposed and she has no colored eyelids. She wears chief clothes when working the school cafeteria while also teaching cooking class.
==Personality==
Lola is a loyal, strong hearted, sassy, and no non-sense woman who will do anything for her loved ones. She has a strong for all sports and stays psychically healthy and in shape. She’s more than just a pretty face and has great intelligence and experience with many things, especially sports. She is also very sensitive about how she’s complimented as she hates being called doll whether unintentionally or intentionally and will show no mercy to those who calls her that when she challenges them. 
Through most of her debut, Lola was shown to also anti-heroic triads and disagreements like the other toons as she seen to have less caring about others beings including her own team/the rest of the Looney Tunes and believing that their issues are nothing more than coincidences even though it was really serious from the alien’s own doing of cheating. After being saved by Bugs from being squashed by one of the Monstars, Lola soon has a complete change of heart and started had official feelings for Bugs when she realized how he was willing to risk his life for others and began being officially caring and showing loyalty towards others and her team/new friends as well as taking a liking to Bugs, officially being their relationship.
While the personality from her debut is mostly presented the comic series and web-series, her personality was shown to be changing/altered through her other appearances. For example, in the sitcom series, she a totally opposite personality. Although she was friendly, she also very air headed, carefree, and had lack of awareness of surroundings. She was also love obsessed with Bugs, often evading his privacy or begging for his help. 
Her personality can often grow on others. In addition, Lola was bad at sports and lack experience unlike her original self in her debut.
In the New Looney Tunes, she had a mixture of her personalities all at once. In her debut, she was very protective of the dragons and will do anything to keep them save and will punish anyone who steals, harms or even do wrong on them in an unforgiving way. Even so, she was very friendly as well as she complemented on the kingdom and even asked its people to hang on. On her official debut, Lola has a love for racing wether by doing it for real or remote control toy and trying to keep her focus on how to do car stunts. 
Similar to her boyfriend Bugs, Lola was also a trickster, outsmarting anyone when giving them false advice and pretending to help them, though she does it people who do unkind things and show no sympathy over their actions. In her last appearance, Lola was almost acting like her sitcom counterpart but also has love and experience for sports like her primary one as she shown skating while admiring the villain, unaware of their true nature/intentions but still able to outsmart, outdo and outfight them through their own doings.
In the New Legacy film, Lola reverted back her old personality, although there were a few alternations. While she had her no non-sense, smarts and loyalty, she lack her sassiness as she took things very seriously and she, like Bugs, any kind of romance and the two had a more brother and sister relationship. She is willingly to sacrifice anything for her loved ones, including save her boyfriend and LeBron from their volcanic demise, keeping her friends safe and give up her life save the world, especially when someone else takes her place. Despite their lack of romance for each other, Lola was willing to be with Bugs by her side after he gave his life to save hers and stood by him when died (even if he did regenerate).
In Bugs Bunny Builders, Lola was a combination of all her personalities at once, being serious when it comes to building but also being unaware of what she or anyone else does. Even when working, Lola is still always having fun whether building or not.
In Tiny Toons Looniversity, Lola is show wild and fun but well-educated and wise, always helping others and showing their own ways while teaching them how make them fun.
==Debut==
Lola's first appearance and major role was in Space Jam, in which she was voiced by Kath Soucie.
Lola's impressive basketball skills got her a spot on the Tune Squad, in which the Looney Tunes characters battled the villainous Monstars for their freedom, with help from basketball legend Michael Jordan.
The Tune Squad was victorious and Lola kindled a romance with Bugs.
Though she had turned down his earlier advances, she saw him in a new light after he heroically saved her from injury by shoving her out of the path of Pound, one of the Monstars, who tried to squash her with a belly-flop, getting himself painfully squashed in the process. Touched by his rescue towards her, Lola proclaimed it was the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for her before she kisses him, much to his delight. After the toons' victory, the bunny's began their relationship.
According to author Kevin Sandler, Lola's personality is a combination of the Hawksian woman, tomboy, and femme fatale archetypes.
==Other Appearances==
She has made several appearances in video games (in fact, she has even replaced Honey Bunny as the damsel in distress of the Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle series), and she regularly appears in solo stories in the monthly Looney Tunes Comics published by DC Comics.
She made a cameo as the reporter in Tweety's High Flying Adventure, in which she was voiced by an uncredited Kath Soucie.
An infant version of Lola, voiced by Britt McKillip, is among the regular characters of Baby Looney Tunes.
She has appeared in Dating Dos and Don'ts and was also seen in a artwork image of her and Bugs, appearing dressed up for a movie premiere, during the "Bugs Bunny: Ain't He A Stinker?" special feature on "Looney Tunes: The Essential Bugs Bunny" DVD which also featured a short clip from Space Jam where Bugs kissed Lola.
In Loonatics Unleashed, her descendant is Lexi Bunny.
==The Looney Tunes Show==
Although her character design in this show is based on her appearance in Space Jam, her personality is different. The modern Lola was written as more sitcom-y (keeping up with the show's tone), in that case making her the dumb blonde-esque character (a bit similar to Phoebe Buffay from Friends). She is extremely talkative (a complete chatterbox), sociable and sweet, but also very eccentric, absent-minded, ditsy and comically unintelligent, similar to Daffy, whom she later becomes friends with. 
She also has a creepy stalker side, which best manifests in her chronic obsession with Bugs (e.g. breaking into his house, photographing him in the shower) and anything or anyone else she feels the affection to, but is later toned down (although, on a few occasions, she manages to out-pass even Daffy in sociopathic tendencies). She was voiced by Kristen Wiig. 
Her debut in the series was in the episode "Members Only", where she and Bugs met at a country club, falling for each other at first sight. While they had their first date, Bugs realized Lola's unbearably chattery and moody nature after a while and repeatedly tried to break up with her, only for Lola to continuously mistake his impressions, culminating with her almost marrying Bugs before dumping him for Pepe Le Pew at the altar, much to his relief. 
Lola returned in the episode "Eligible Bachelors", where she auctioned for and won Bugs for $100,000 at a bachelor's charity auction (what happened between her and Pepe since her debut episode is unknown, but she never mentioned him and tells Bugs that she's "back in his life now"). She took Bugs to Paris in hopes that he would fall in love with her. After comical moments such as Lola mistaking the Eiffel Tower for Stonehenge and the Louvre for a mall, and, of course, jabbering without an end, Bugs manages to convince Lola to just take in the surroundings of the city, without talking, and the two successfully seem to rekindle their boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, shown towards the episode end when they kiss by Seine and when, after returning home, Bugs tapes a picture of him and Lola by the Eiffel Tower to the kitchen fridge.
Lola performs her first "Merrie Melody" song with Bugs Bunny during the episode "Peel of Fortune" named "We Are In Love", singing about how her and Bugs' relationship has grown and how they're madly in love with each other (even though Bugs completely disagrees with her and tries to get away from her during the song, which comically fails). 
Her next appearance was in the episode "Double Date" in which she ended up falling in love with Daffy Duck while giving him dating advice that he read out loud in front of her. She became a downright stalker later on attempting to make Daffy break up with Tina Russo (an updated version of Melissa Duck). Lola set up a fake date with Bugs to spy on Daffy and sabotage their relationship. Bugs later told her that Daffy was not her boyfriend and that he was her boyfriend, surprising himself and making her fall in love with him again. After becoming friends with Tina, she suggested a double date to Daffy and Tina and they left (without Bugs) with Bugs standing stunned at the spot and saying to himself "What just happened?".
She also appeared in the episode The DMV.
Lola also makes appearances along with other Looney Tunes characters at Six Flags parks.
Despite her craziness and obsessive personality, she still is very loyal, good-natured and well-meaning - even if the outcome of her actions might not always have that effect. Although Bugs can't stand her at first, he eventually warms up to her throughout the series, even managing to enjoy her company, and Lola's affection becomes mutual. 
==Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run==
In New York City, Lola Bunny is tired of working for Giovanni Jones at the Acme department store perfume counter. She accidentally damages the store, gets fired and takes a long, awkward ride home in Bugs Bunny's taxi. Arriving in her apartment, her landlord, Speedy, gives her the flower as a gift, unaware it is being watched by the NSA.
General Leghorn sends agent Elmer Fudd to watch the flower, though Lola uses it to create her perfume, which has a side effect of invisibility. Cecil sends his goons to get it, but Lola backs out the window and falls to Bugs' taxi below. General Leghorn puts out a reward of $500,000 for Bugs and Lola, and Yosemite Sam, who was preparing to rob a bank in Times Square, learns of it and apprehends them. However, he refuses to hand them to the NSA or the NYPD until after he gets the money, and a one-sided gunfight ensues. Lola and Bugs escape and slip down a storm drain.
They emerge through a manhole in front of Porky Pig, causing a traffic jam, but Giovanni grabs the perfume. Lola runs after him and gets abducted by Cecil in a van. Bugs jumps in Daffy Duck's taxi and follows them. At a secret location, Cecil and his goons interrogate Lola and leave her to die, but Bugs and Daffy manage to free her. Driving through the streets (and subway tunnels) of New York and running through Central Park, the rabbits make haste to John F. Kennedy International Airport. Daffy envies the ducks in the park and decides to retire.
Having been arrested, Sam steals an NSA car and follows Bugs and Lola to the airport, where she spots Giovanni, and they all board the plane as does Cecil. Bugs retrieves the perfume and, after a fight with Sam over the perfume, he and Lola land in the Atlantic Ocean. The Goofy Gophers pick them up in their yacht, try the perfume, and discover its invisibility property.
They arrive in Paris, and Bugs and Lola spray themselves, subsequently having fun with their invisibility. When it rains, the invisibility wears off and they find themselves caught between Elmer Fudd and Cecil at the Pont des Arts, Fudd holding the Gophers hostage. Cecil and his goons betray and disarm Fudd and the Interpol officers he hired with heat ray pistols, and Bugs tries to throw the bottle into the Seine, but Sam catches it. 
They all dogpile on Sam, but are suddenly teleported to a space station over Mars, where Marvin the Martian grabs the bottle. Marvin reveals his plan to make all of Earth invisible, as it "obstructs [his] view of Venus". To do so, he extracts the invisibility part of the potion from the perfume part, but ends up with two identical bottles; one with invisibility and the other without.
Bugs and Lola play switcheroo and end up with both of them, handing Marvin a Joker card. After a chase, Marvin catches them, grabs the bottle and sprays the Earth with perfume, not knowing that Bugs has switched it so Earth doesn't turn invisible. To Marvin's fury, Bugs turns the group and himself invisible, allowing them to escape the Martians. Before they leave, Bugs tosses Marvin the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, which blows up Mars, leaving Marvin hanging from a root. 
The group returns safely to Earth, landing in the Seine. When they accidentally leave the bottle in the spaceship, which sinks, Fudd comes to believe the world is not ready for invisibility, and starts a one-sided chase to arrest Cecil for his complicity in Marvin's plan. Lola bitterly forgives Giovanni for stealing the perfume, and happily continues her relationship with Bugs.
One year later, perfume mogul Pepé Le Pew introduces his newest scent "Lola" and back in New York, Bugs reveals that he still has the invisibility potion, while Daffy has retired to Central Park.
==The New Looney Tunes==
To be added…
==Bugs Bunny Builders==
Lola serves as the second-in-command of the construction company where she along with her friends gives moral advice for her Construction crew and uses her pad to analyze better building structure.
==Tiny Toons: Looniversity==
Unlike in the original series, this is the first time Lola is now Babs Bunny's mentor where she teaches her and her brother Buster Bunny how to cook advanced food. Lola acted like the big sister to the twins while they admire her.
==Rumors from the Original Golden Ages==
Most fans believe or at least compare those female rabbits from previous Bugs Bunny Cartoons for the original Honey/Lola Bunny in order not to feel overwhelmed from her absences only to play a minor role who had changed her appearances and identity over the years until Space Jam came out and finally adapted her true appearance unlike her previous variants.

==Trivia==
*Lola is designed after Honey Bunny, Bugs' girlfriend from the comics.
*Lola was originally meant to have an appearance and personality similar to Bugs', but was decided to be made as her own character.
*Lola was originally going to be a one-time character, but became a fan favorite after her debut in Space Jam, so she became an ongoing recurring character instead.
*Lola is the first Looney Tunes character not to be introduced in the Golden classic shorts, unless one counts the Tiny Toons characters, who were introduced after her around the start of the 90s.
*After her debut, Lola has been having personality changes, although many liked the personality she has in her debut. Other personalities of her in other her appearances received mixed reviews. The most positive of them, however, was the one she has in Bugs Bunny Builders.
*Lola is the possible version of many other female rabbits Bugs encountered, including Honey Bunny from the comics and Babs Bunny. Some also claim that she was related to Babs which wasn’t true. In addition, she probably might’ve been able to appear in the original series of Tiny Toons if the series had continued. In the reboot, where she made her first appearance in the franchise, she serves as Babs' mentor.
*In 2019, after watching the original Space Jam for the first time, Malcolm D. Lee, the director for Space Jam: A New Legacy, said that he "felt off-guard on how Lola was too sexualized" and decided to turn her into the typical "strong woman" character of modern films, stating: "The original Lola Bunny was not politically correct... It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters." The new personality and look gained controversy, specifically among Twitter, as fans complained about her "nerfed" and "neo-puritanical" appearance that made her intentionally less physically appealing, despite the fact that many female basketball players in real life are instead the opposite of that.
*Before Zendaya was confirmed to be the voice of Lola in Space Jam: A New Legacy, Kath Soucie was rumored to reprise the role.
*Most fans where disappointed because Lola didn't appear in Looney Tunes: Back in Action either as a psychical cameo or a leading character, although she made a poster cameo. It is possibly because they only use original Looney Tunes characters instead of newer ones. In the film, Kate Houghton asked Bugs to have a leading female co-star but he didn't mention her specifically.
*For some reason, Lola doesn’t appear with the rest of the Looney Tunes in the Teen Titans Go episode special Warner Bros 100th Anniversary Special. It’s possible that since she wasn’t introduced in the Golden-Age of the Looney Toons and debuted in the 90s, they decided to exclude her from the Looney Tunes group.
*Lola serves as an opposite counterpart to Bugs. While she seems almost identical to him, she seems far more intelligent, wise and understands others much more than him. She also would only do things when the time is right and always would have a good reason for explanation.
*Lola didn’t appear in the Looney Tunes Cartoons series, possibly because she wasn’t suitable for the show since it was more dangerous like.
