She was a member of the Big family.At Fru Fru's wedding Mr. Big honors Grandmama and recounts the story of when they first emigrated to Zootopia from the Old Country. They were cheerful and hopeful for a bright future at the start of their journey, but after a treacherous boat ride, they arrived and saw that small rodents like them were looked down upon and forced into poor living conditions. Still determined, she built a home for herself and young Mr. Big out of a box, in which she started a bakery for which Mr. Big was the delivery boy. She encouraged him as he struggled, and gave him a bicycle to help him not feel so small, which he cherished greatly. With the help of new friends like young Koslov, they eventually made quite a bit of money as their business gained traction and earned its place among the community. One day, the Rhino Boss and his thugs came to terrorize the neighborhood, and crushed Mr. Big's bicycle and stole all the bakery's money. Grandmama and everyone else ran and hid, and she encouraged Mr. Big to do the same, but when he decided to stand up to the Rhino Boss, she joined everyone to help him make sure the rhino would never bother them again. After this, the bakery business thrived and expanded, and Grandmama and Mr. Big were reunited with the rest of their family, whom Koslov helped bring over from the Old Country. She tells Mr. Big how proud of him she is when he goes on to found Little Rodentia.
