Okonkwo
Okonkwo is a matronly hippo and an emergency medic. She works the medical tent at the evacuation perimeter during the Tundratown-Sahara Square weather wall attack in S02E16 "The Wall", treating civilians brought out of the tunnel with temperature exposure.
Background
Okonkwo is one of the medics staffing the casualty tent set up beyond the ZPD cordon, part of the wider emergency response rather than the Station 113 fire crew that Captain Torres leads inside the tunnel.
Series Appearances
Season 2: The Wall (S02E16)
The breached wall bleeds its climates into each other, and the evacuation flow carries casualties out of the tunnel in both conditions at once — mammals built for cold overheating, mammals built for heat freezing. Okonkwo works the tent as they arrive.
A dazed antelope buck, young, his Tundratown University sweatshirt soaked through with sweat, stumbles toward the tent after Judy directs him to it. Okonkwo catches him before he falls, calls the diagnosis — heat exposure — and tells a young gazelle medic to get him on fluids.
