Zootopia OC Sheep (Potential Spoilers)

Description

Leah Lambert is a black-faced suffolk lamb.  She and her "baby" brother were born to Mary and Bruce Lambert. 
It goes without saying what her story is: diagnosed with cancer.  It's why she isn't covered in so much wool like her fellow sheep, given the chemotherapy.  She may not know it, but her destiny is to smooth things over between the sheep of Zootopia and the majority of the citizens who lost faith in them because of Bellwether.  Lia is basically what Bellwether would be if she had a good reflection.  Like Bellwether, her "Yin" is quiet and timid.  Her Yang?  Not so much.  According to her brother, there was a time when Leah used to be very determined and stubborn, before she became resigned to the stereotypes about her condition.  Then, her brave, dauntless persona making a come-back, when she is on the political crusade march to prove sheep are neither helpless or deceitful.  She is highly supportive of her younger brother and sees him as her "little knight in woolen armor".  If she set her mind to it, she'd move mountains for him.  She is humbled by Judy Hopps, the only animal who matches Leah's determination, even outranks it.  All the same, she's always been a fighter with a heart of gold, if prone to a stubborn streak.  Deep down, she has a soft spot and loves songs from pop-singer Gazelle, and feline fiddler Lindsey Stir-lynx.  Her favorite food is noodle soup with broccoli, salad with tangerines, and tomato juice.  But true to her stubborn nature, she's also a bit of a picky eater.  She often wears a pink ribbon for support.

(Spoiler alert: she eventually goes into remission someday in the future.)


Her younger brother, Wayne Lambert, is a ram who works as a nurse.  Many animals tell him he's already dorky to begin with, but he doesn't care what those animals think.  He's been inspired to be a pediatrician one day so he can help kids, if not just the ones going through cancer like his Big Sis.  He may be bigger than Leah, but Wayne is a kid at heart.  (I like to imagine he's voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, primarily because his eyes remind me of a character he's voiced before, Grey Matter.)  Of course, after the arrest of Bellwether, his dreams of being a pediatrician are threatened due to animals' recent distrust towards rams and sheep.  And it's because of this discrimination that spurs Leah to rise up and aid Officer Judy Hopps and Officer Nick Wilde on a campaign to prove sheep are not all bad. 
Wayne is silly, sweet and childish at times.  He'll do anything to support Leah and the cure for cancer.  Wayne's no picky eater and likes to try new foods, but he's prone to play with his food.  Worse than play with food, his broad taste leads him to try exotic unconventional food that "you either love or hate", like durian.  (Oh well, more for him!)  He also likes to be an individual, which means he doesn't like what the majority calls popular.  So unlike the majority, Wayne looks past prejudice, to the point where some of his friends are predators and he's never given it much thought before.  This individualism also entails Wayne's indifference to sensational pop-singer Gazelle, much to everyone's shock and disbelief (especially his own die-hard fan sister).  But he loves his big sister and looks up to her as a hero in her own rights, even though her obstinacy can border on annoying.
    However, Wayne does have a Yang to his Yin.  Although he's peaceful and kind, Wayne was trained how to use a gun to protect himself (his sister taught him, actually).  He's also highly protective of Leah, as well as defensive of her cancer.  He's so sensitive that anyone who bad mouths his sister or her cancer will be rammed by Wayne.  Part of the reason is how he sees his big sister as a mother figure.

Given what happened in the movie, I wished to create characters to balance out Zootopia's perception of sheep.

Thank you!
Enjoy!

I do not own "Zootopia".  It belongs to Disney, Byron Howard and Rich Moore.
These two OC characters were inspired by the movie.
