Judy Shepherd

Judith "Judy" Shepherd is one of the protagonists of the original "Jumanji" picture book, while appearing as the tritagonist of the 1995 film and the animated series.

In the 1995 film, the deaths of the Shepherd parents left a negative attitude on Judy, granting her a tendency to tell lies; which was likely to make her mundane and misfortunate life more exciting. Her lying lead to frequent falling outs with her Aunt Nora, who knew as much about raising children as the next woman. In the novel, when Judy was at school her tall tales extended so far that she made up that her parents were government agents investigating the jungles of New Guinea, which the realtor's son exposed and got into a fight with Peter for taunting the revelation concerning their dead parents. Judy was the only person that Peter could open up to but still tried to act more sensibly over reminding him to start talking to people again. After they discovered "Jumanji", Judy still kept up her exaggerations, such as when making up their connection to Alan during her explanations to Officer Bentley, even making Sarah out as his fiancé (which she eventually became).
