While helping Judy during her investigation, he wears a junior ZPD badge sticker over the pocket of his shirt, originally a gift from Judy for Finnick before the latter humorously passed it onto Nick. Nick's wardrobe consists of a light green Hawaiian shirt, a dark indigo necktie with red-and-blue stripes, and a pair of brownish-gray pants. He has green eyes and a dark purple nose. He has dark auburn fur on his feet, his hands, the tips of his ears, and at the tip of his tail. He's covered in red fur with a cream underbelly up to his muzzle. Nick also has an intense dislike of muzzles and bigoted mammals because of his bleak history with the like, which can also induce flashbacks or anxiety. He is prone to pleading desperately or pessimistically accepting his incoming fate if he has lost control of the situation, but he is still loyal enough to never abandon his friends in times of crisis or otherwise. In spite of having a usual collected and unconcerned head, Nick doesn't handle intense situations very well compared to the likes of Judy, a specialist cop. However, Nick's laid-back attitude also makes him a very quick forgiver, and he is not spiteful if he is wronged. But when she then made unintentional bigoted comments regarding predators to a press conference, he felt extremely hurt and betrayed because he and many others were being singled out due to their species again, and by someone he trusted and admired at that, which caused him to break his easy-going façade. As no one ever gave him a chance to be something he could have been or believed in him, he became quite touched when someone finally did and was granted an opportunity to become a police officer by Judy. However, Nick would eventually allow himself to be vulnerable, and this would create another opportunity for him to be hurt yet again.

Nick is quite an astute judge of character as he was able to correctly deduce where Judy was from, what her ambitions were and what her future would become instantly after meeting her. Nick is also an incredibly cunning and resourceful planner, able to formulate intricate and devious hustles in a rather short period of time, as he was able to manipulate Bellwhether into fully admitting into her involvement of turning fourteen predators savage by pretending to be turned himself by replacing the savage serum pellet with a blueberry and recording said confession with a carrot pen.

Being a former criminal himself, Nick is aware of how criminals operate and uses this knowledge to locate the Timberwolves. Nonetheless, despite his seemingly untrustworthy and uncaring demeanor, Nick can be sympathetic to other people who were downtrodden as he was, defending Judy from the prejudiced Bogo after finally learning of the gravity of the case she was stuck with and continued to encourage and assist her with finding the missing mammals from that point on.Īlways carefree and slick, and rarely ever fazed during critical or dangerous events, but with a sly smile and endless charm, he is capable of fooling and hustling others around him without any difficulties and is a master con artist. He has gotten in trouble because of this, though, as he gets on the bad side of Zootopia's crime boss Mr. Nick is extremely well-connected throughout Zootopia, especially in regards to its criminal element. Beneath this façade, however, he is deeply unhappy, and it is implied that deep down, he wants to be seen as more than what he is. Thus, Nick is sly, sarcastic, and cunning, the fitting stereotype of a fox. As a result, Nick learned to never show vulnerability, and grew to believe that there was no point in trying to be anything other than what others believed him to be. Nick was bullied as a child by the other animals of Zootopia, who looked down on him because of stereotypes of foxes as shifty and dishonest.
