I suspect we\'d all had the \"dwarf sheep\" headcanon fully internalized for so long that we forgot there was anything strange about her size.
Indeed, a lot of analysis of her character around here seems to \'\'assume\'\' it. As a result of her being Judy\'s ShadowArchetype, people analyzing her tend to go beyond what was directly shown and ascribe to her a FreudianExcuse where, like Judy and Nick, she had some sort of childhood trauma that affected her deeply. Hypothesizing further about this, they tend to propose that she might have been bullied as a child \'\'even by other sheep\'\' because of her small stature, [[note]]which dovetails into the type of FreudianExcuse that tends to accompany the DepravedDwarf trope[[/note]] and that only later on when working for Lionheart did her resentment for those bigger than her get redirected towards predators.
This still seems plausible to me; I still think it\'s far more likely for Bellwether than for Weaselton that her unusual size is intended to have in-universe significance (that is to say, that the other characters would recognize her as being quite abnormally small for a sheep). While Weaselton is the only weasel shown in the movie and his abnormally large size is never treated as significant, Bellwether is clearly shown to be smaller than other sheep, and much is made of her apparent Napoleon Complex.
But even if she has some rare genetic condition that explains her abnormal size (which is still ultimately speculative), that wouldn\'t nullify the example, but would only make it a JustifiedTrope.
