”I guess you’ve really gotta watch your step in a game called ’Hero’s Doody’!”
The first thing showcased about Vanellope is her humor. She’s fiercely witty, stubborn and will cling to a joke even as others protest. More than likely, this is actually a shield for her to protect herself with as if you don’t show weakness others won’t be able to use it against you. In this, she’s a prime example but Vanellope is more than fast jabs and giggles. (Though she is very fond of calling people variants of ‘butt’ and poop related words.) She’s a child after all, and her humor can be childish. But there is real maturity behind her at times, perhaps she was forced to grow up and reach that due to the long years she spent alone and bullied or maybe it was already in her code. But Vanellope has the innate ability to see into a person and see that which isn’t quite presented. She sees that Ralph isn’t a bad guy as everyone else seems to think he is and even after he destroys the kart they’d made together in an attempt at protecting her, she accepts his apology for what it is. Likewise, once her true status as Princess Vanellope is remembered she pardons everyone for their harsh treatment. She’s a forgiving young lady and yet, she doesn’t just accept apology and make do as if nothing has happened. For instance, Ralph’s apology is greeted with her calling him the “biggest doodyhead” after he admits it himself and further in her prank on the people of Sugar Rush by stating that everyone who bullied her must be executed. She retracts that a moment later, after they all burst into tears, with laughter and the dissolution of her reign into a democracy.
”What’s that? Didn’t hear ya. Your breath is so bad, it made my ears numb!”
Due to years of bullying, Vanellope has developed a rather cynical outlook on life and the people in it, which manifests in the way that she’s very often prone to sassy comments and insults. But despite this, she’s also incredibly cheerful and bubbly, often in ways you wouldn’t expect a bullied “glitch” to be. She’s a cautious person, and yet once she gets past that and lets someone past her defenses, Vanellope loves and trusts wholeheartedly. Her and Ralph’s relationship is prime example of this, because it was formed on the basis of a trick and developed once they realized they weren’t really too much different from each other. She trusts him quickly after he helps her build a race kart, and that trust is enough to get them through several bumps in the road. But as mentioned before, there’s more to that. Because though Vanellope is loyal, she’s also incredibly forgiving and understanding.
”Everyone here says I’m just a mistake and that I wasn’t even suppose to exist.”
Bullying has taken it’s course on Vanellope and though she believes whole-heartedly that she can race and that she is a part of the game, sometimes she can fall into ennui and believe what she’s told. This is a truly human effect despite her game origins, but sometimes Vanellope too thinks that maybe she wasn’t meant to exist as the other racers and indeed the other occupants of the game tell her. At one point in the movie, Ralph asks Vanellope why she doesn’t just game jump if she’s treated so horribly here, and her only response is, “Don’t you know anything? Glitches can’t gamejump.” There’s probably something of bitterness behind this, because Vanellope is stuck in her game, where she’s feared and hated and bullied constantly. She lives in an incomplete racetrack, alone, and has a record of trying to change things around the game so she can race. Case in point, the door to the “build your kart!” room has a giant painting of Vanellope’s face with an X over it, a “No Glitches allowed!!” sign if ever there was one.
”Racing’s in my code!” But though Vanellope has lived through difficult things, she’s firm in her belief that she’s a racer, and that above that she’s a great racer. She wants to race, yeah, but Vanellope wants more than that to win and she will do anything in her power to come out on top of that race and find her way into the game’s roster.
