I love how she looks happy here, as if she is really being appreciated and noticed by someone who knows how to show gratitude to her hard work. I don't believe she is evil for the sake of being evil, which is now boring, overused, and clichΓ© with almost every villain. I believe she is like most tragic villains that come from a background of bullying, abuse, and discrimination, meaning she spent those years running away from herself and unable to cope with the anger, fear, stress, confusion, and self loathing that followed her and most of her bullies were predators that made her feel like an easy target being a sheep and all.

Is she happy because she feels appreciated, or is she plotting something evil? Either way, Bellwether is adorable, despite her being the film's antagonist. This one likes to think that her backstory is tragic, having suffered abuse from predators, much like Judy, only that Bellwether resorted to revenge with her conspiracy. It makes her more sympathetic to how she put up with Mayor Lionheart's negligence and low opinion of her as a partner (not unlike how Nick and Judy first started off, but gradually became best friends). All Bellwether needs is a little love. In this one's head-canon, she gains rehabilitation, forgiveness and eventual love in her prison psychiatrist, Dr. David T. Brushtail, who happens to be a fox.
