Lady Hoppington started her life before the United Animal Kingdoms were ever solidified.  She grew up in a political battlefield, forced to be cunning to survive.  Through the journey she joined a like minded team of adventurers and began the work of bringing peace to Palotopia. 

For years they worked tirelessly to achieve their goal.  Met with hurdle after hurdle, even the great Ms. Hoppington (at the time) was unable to convince the leaders of the animal kingdoms to meet for peace talks.  As the  famous story goes, at this point Ms. Hoppington decided to use her wits to her advantage.  She sent letters to each of the leaders and told them she would meet with them individually at the Rabbit Ridge. 

Ultimately, they all ended up showing up to the meeting as planned and Ms. Hoppington got to work.  Each leader was furious and refused to speak to the others but their resolve was quickly worn down.  They eventually began to speak to each other and in this meeting the seeds were planted that would grown into the United Animal Kingdoms we all love today.  

The leaders still harbored distrust for each other, and decided none of the other rules could be trusted to lead their new kingdom. Surprisingly, the only person they all trusted was Ms. Hoppington herself.  The one who would risk everything to bring peace to a world that had hunted her so tirelessly.  By unanimous decision, Ms. Hoppington was officially crowned Lady Hoppington, ruler of the United Animal Kingdoms.  And since that very day we have known peace from war.
