Virus Vanellope

“Well, this may come as a shock to you, but in my game, I’m the bad guy."

Empress Buddy

Virus Vanellope is an AU version of the character Vanellope Von Schweetz, from the Disney movie *Wreck-It Ralph.*

## Backstory

The movie *Wreck-It Ralph* takes place in an arcade, with video game characters having lives after the arcade closes. Vanellope is a glitch in the racing game *Sugar Rush*, where a crazy old man called King Candy rules the land of the game.

In the final race of the movie, it's discovered that King Candy was really Turbo; a video game character that broke the taboo of crossing into another game and staying there. Vanellope, who had managed to buy her way into the race, almost reaches the finish line, but Cy-Bugs arrive and destroy it. Everyone runs away from the game, escaping through the electrical plug. Vanellope cannot escape because she's a Glitch.

Ralph decides to run away with the others, leaving Vanellope behind. They blow up the entrance so that the Cy-Bugs can't enter the other games in the arcade, and Vanellope is stuck inside the game. Litwak (The owner of the Arcade), comes in the next morning, and thinks the game is broken. As he unplugs it, the entire world of *Sugar Rush* is deleted, but Vanellope wasn't, as her code had become independent of the arcade systems. She ended up becoming an "error" in the system, lingering even after the game was turned off.

Vanellope was able to escape, her new error status allowing her to, and she ended up taking on a physical form through unknown means. Once she did, she joined The Bad End Friends, seeing nowhere else to go.

## Profile

### Appearance

Her appearance hadn't changed in shape, but it did develop into the negative colors of her normal avatar. She wears a Pink hoodie with teal strawberry bootlace tassels, and 2 white Reese's Cup wrappers for a skirt. Her mismatched leggings are striped with Pink and Black, and the left is additionally accented with yellow "double stripes". She also wears white boots with blue frosting scribbles on the soles. Her ponytail is contained by a scrunchie that appears to be made out of red licorice, whose colors have changed to teal.

   Her skin has turned into a shade of blue (Usually light blue), whilst her hair is white and pulled back into a ponytail. In some of her other designs, it's decorated with a various assortment of small candies. Her eyes are pitch black, however, in some variations of her design, she has yellow eyes with red pupils. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are also black, and her nails are a lighter shade of blue compared to her skin.

### Personality

She's described as "forgetful", by the original creator of her AU, alluding to the fact that she became an error. It's also heavily implied that she hardly even remembers her past. She's still the mischievous and quirky, yet cheerful trouble-maker she always was, but with a hint of maliciousness. When she's nervous, sad, angry, or is confronted by shards of memory from her past, she starts to glitch out. She's friendly towards most members of The Bad End Friends, but there are a few members she dislikes for varying reasons.

## Powers

Virus Vanellope has many different abilities that all correlates to her being a Glitch, these abilities are:

* **Teleportation:** She's able to teleport between long and short distances through anything that can emit electricity, however, the longer the distance, the more corrupted and broken she can become. The furthest distance that she's reportedly teleported to are the distances between several planets. Hypothetically speaking, she is unable to teleport to different universes, as the distance to travel outside of one would shatter her code in seconds.
* **Self-Awareness:** If she somehow were to be placed within a simulated reality, she would instantly recognize it, and escape in a matter of seconds.
* **Intangibility**, If she was in any danger, she could immediately burst into a wave of electricity, and hide in a pocket dimension known as "*The Static*", it's where all of her code is stored. It can be presumed that this plane of existence is contained within a physical object, like her old Arcade Cabinet, but what or where it truly is remains a mystery.
