Vanellope von Schweetz is one of the main protagonists of the 2012 Disney animated film, Wreck-it Ralph and its sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Overview[]
Being a glitch of Sugar Rush after King Candy hacked the game and brainwashed all the civilians, Vanellope was shown be an outcast and a girl which all the racers despised due to being accused of being a glitch which would likely cause the game to be out of order if she would want to race.
Ralph sympathized with the girl after witnessing her being bullied by the racers and decided to help her build the kart. Prior to the game's hijack, Vanellope was revealed to be a princess and a true racer of the game.
