**Nicholas Piberius Wilde** is a Zootopian fox and member of the Zootopia Police Department.

## Background;

### Early Life:

Nicholas was born on June 6, 1944 in Meadowlands, Zootopia, to John and Victoria Wilde. Four years after Nicholas' birth, his parents went through a divorce, and Victoria and Nicholas moved to Savannah Central, Zootopia, while John remained in Meadowlands. When Nicholas was six, in 1992, he began attendance at Zootopia Elementary. He got acquainted with Finnick Fox, a fennec fox. Finnick was a very rebellious troublemaker, but Nicholas was eager to be a virtuous fox and break all stereotypes.

In 1994, Victoria enrolled Nicholas into Junior Ranger Scouts. After being cast out and humiliated by the patrol, Nicholas vowed to not let anyone see who he really was. After elementary, in 1997, Nicholas went to Zootopia Middle School, where he received an infamous reputation for pranks and weaselling his way out of tough situations. In 1999, during their third year of middle school, Nicholas and Finnick began scamming the then-new Jumbeaux's Café, buying their Jumbo-pops and re-selling them as Pawpsicles. In 2001, Nicholas enrolled at Zootopia High. He and Finnick continued to run their Pawpsicle business. He eventually met Katherine Leopard, a snow leopard. Katherine became pregnant with a baby girl, but sadly, she died from complications from sepsis during an emergency C-section. Thankfully, though, their daughter survived. A teenage Nick named his daughter, Alazne, which means "miracle" in Basque. Raising a baby while he was still a child himself was tough for the fourteen year old Nick. Eventually, though, he got the hang of it after reading parenting books and articles.

### Start of Career:

After graduating Zootopia High in 2004, Nicholas and Finnick became partners, both getting jobs at Bug-Burga, the famous insectivore diner in Rainforest District. They were both fired for continuous absence, which was due to the duo's on-running Pawpsicle business. After Nick had gotten out of the youth correctional facility at the age of fifteen, he focused on becoming a better father for his then three year old daughter. In 2007, they applied for a job at Chez Cheez cheese factory in Little Rodentia. After being fired once again for the same reason as the former, they decided to focus on the Pawpsicles. Nine years later, in early 2016, Nick was arrested by Judy Hopps, a new member of the Zootopia Police Department.

## Appearance:

Nick is a fox with a trim build. He's covered in red fur with a cream underbelly up to his muzzle. He has dark auburn fur on his feet, his hands, the tips of his ears, and at the tip of his tail. He has green eyes and a dark purple nose.

## Personality:

Nick uses the sly, cunning stereotype of his species as his personality, although this is just a façade. When Nick was a youngster, he was bullied at the Junior Ranger Scouts. This caused him to shroud himself with the trickster personality to heal himself from his childhood trauma. He is ingenious, but uses his ingenuity for his scams. Finnick, his former partner, may have influenced him throughout their many years together, but Nick kept his motivations and beliefs. After joining the ZPD, he became more open with his true personality.
