Vanellope von Schweetz is the deuteragonist of Disney's 52nd full-length featured film Wreck-It Ralph and its sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet.
She plays the role of typical annoying yet well meaning kid, she is seen as a glitch by her own game thanks to Turbo's influence. It is revealed at the end of the movie that she is actually the princess of Sugar Rush thanks to the help of Ralph, the film ends with her becoming a more well rounded character who despite her still being mischievous, has become a better person thanks to the help of Ralph.
She was voiced by Sarah Silverman.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Admirable?[]
- She saved Ralph from falling into Diet Cola Mountain.
- Despite the Sugar Rush racers originally bullying her relentlessly, Vanellope shows no disdain towards them upon becoming the princess. Furthermore, she forgives them (even though she briefly joked saying that she would execute them, she revealed that she was joking afterwards), possibly because she knew it wasn't their fault since Turbo altered their codes.
- She won the race in Sugar Rush, thus restoring the memories of all of its residents.
- Despite being mad initially, she ultimately forgives Ralph for releasing Arthur onto Slaughter Race.
- She saved the internet from Ralphzilla.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She became incredibly selfish in the sequel, with her abandoning her own game and disregarding the impact it might have on the game's popularity and thus, staying time, which is effectively putting potentially hundreds of lives at risk. Not to mention this is the exact thing that the villain of the first movie did and it was treated as a MEH.
- She rebelled against the person controlling her game, which caused her arcade machine to break, which, if not for buying a new steering wheel, could've doomed the entire game for good.
- She has shown to have a high level of arrogance, especially during the first film, and acts like a jerk one too many times, such as:
- Showing no empathy towards Ralph when he clung onto disappearing double stripes and fell into the sugar lake and tried stealing his medal he earned fair and square to race. (Though one could argue she though Ralph was a part of the game and he would just regenerate should the worst happen to him, even when he told her she wasn’t from Sugar Rush, she still showed no empathy the second time it happened).
- Telling Ralph he can’t hear him of the smell of his breath.
- Stealing Ralphs medal even when he begged her to give it back (while she did need a medal to get into the race, she also spit on the medal just to spite Ralph).
- Threatening to execute all of the Sugar Rush racers for mistreating her despite them showing remorse over their actions. Granted, she only joked about it, but it was a rather cruel one at that.
- Still arrogantly thinks she's better than Taffyta, saying that she could "kick her butt".
- Muting her phone so Ralph doesn't know she's in Slaughter Race.
- Had a wrathful, mean-spirited reaction towards Ralph when he told her that he released Arthur into Slaughter Race, and she even destroyed the friendship necklace she made for him. While she apologizes for it later, she still took it too far, especially since Ralph was only trying to help get her to be in her game (and he was right to scold her for being selfish and neglectful), which was the whole point of their journey.
- She also treated Ralph as though he was gaslighting her, even though Ralph's reaction was only natural and she should have thought about how her selfish actions would leave him feeling distraught. While Ralph technically did endanger the internet for releasing Arthur, Vanellope should have known that it was an honest mistake he did after feeling so distraught by her behavior; Vanellope knows Ralph pretty well, but she still chose to be this way towards him.
Trivia[]
- Vanellope is the only Wreck-It Ralph character to become Inconsistently Admirable. However, she used to share that spot with Ralph himself, before he was approved for Near Pure Good.
- Her being IA is most likely a full accident, as the second film is clearly meant to portray her as in the right, despite the fact that in the first film it's made clear that abandoning a game was portrayed to be a very selfish thing.
- It is highly likely that Vanellope would've been Near Pure Good if it weren't for the second film's release, as her biggest corrupting factor of abandoning her own game just so she can have more fun in another game only appeared in the second installment in addition to being even more arrogant and selfish.
