Vanellope Von Schweetz – Wreck-It Ralph (2012) – Character Driven Reviews  by AzzaEzza

 

Straight out of Sugar Rush, a virtual reality become real! Vanellope von Schweetz is a notorious racer most notably known from the game Sugar Rush. She was by far the best racer in the game, and was beloved by all who played Sugar Rush in the arcade. Vanellope's game was developed out of Greenland, which is where she was born. Her game was bought by Stan Litwak, owner of Litwak's arcade in Los Aburridos, California. So Vanellope's decade in Greenland was over, and a new life awaited her in California. Vanellope was unfortunately subjected to childhood trauama while in California. Her game had been invaded and coding was corrupted by Turbo, the former jealous star of the game Turbo Time. Turbo Time used to be the most popular game in the arcade, and when that changed Turbo got jealous and started invading the other games, seeking attention. Everyone thought when Turbo TIme got unplugged, Turbo was gone. But he instead hid in Sugar Rush, impersonated King Candy and disconnected Vanellope's code from the game, making everyone forget she was the main racer/face of the game. This led Vanellope to a path of depression and isolation. She wanted to be a racer, not knowing she already was. During off-peak hours, Vanellope would go and play the NHL arcade game. She was very good, beating even the best players within their own game. Having such an ambition to fit into her own game, she never even thought of hockey as anything more than just a way to cope and waste time until the arcade opened again.

Vanellope's favorite position to play in NHL was defense, she enjoyed stopping the opposition and then joining the offensive rush the other way. In her terms the position is "the best of both worlds" if utilized properly. But still, this joy was only temporary as when Vanellope returned back to her game she knew she would just be a reject. All that joy from a night in NHL would disappear. Her home just wasn't a home. It wasn't until Ralph accidentally crashed into Sugar Rush that Vanellope was able to regain control of her game. With Ralph's help, she got a race car built and was able to enter the race. They were able to expose King Candy as Turbo, and Vanellope learned when she crossed the finish line the game would reset and her code would be restored. However, Ralph accidentally brought in virus bugs from the game "Hero's Duty" with him who invaded the game, so this process proved more difficult as Vanellope almost lost her life getting across the finish line. Upon this, she became the Princess of Sugar Rush again, and got to race every day. This made Vanellope happy for a time, but she eventually grew bored. She found herself taking more trips over and playing NHL. Her interests towards hockey grew more and more. She learned from Sonic at Tapers that there is a way to get into the real world entering the internet. Vanellope took this trip and was successful. She got into reality, and was going to play hockey for real!

Vanellope von Schweetz would play high school hockey in California, having more opportunity there than returning home to Grenland. She played defense for Los Aburridos High School Varsity team. When she took the ice for tryouts, there were smirks, and laughs about a girl getting a spot on essentially an all boys team, and her size caused them to underestimate her. She blew them away in tryouts, she was quick and got forwards off the puck quickly and would led the charge into the offensive zone. She was a constant threat being known as the 4th forward on a rush, but having the agility to get back on defense when needed. Vanellope set the scoring record for Los Aburrido's High School as a freshman, and has since been scouted by colleges, and leagues around the world including the VHL. This led von Schweetz to consider her options. She could leave high school early to persue a more developed league, or play out her senior year and then play for one of the many colleges interested in her, Vanellope elected to go to the VHL and start off in the minors. She received an offer from the San Diego Marlins, which was the most convenient for her being in California already. Vanellope considered and accepted GM Zach Arce's offer to play out the rest of the season with San Diego. She is set to take the ice with the Marlins today as they get set to defend their title in the playoffs. We expect big things from Vanellope von Schweetz, one thing you do not want to do is underestimate her or she will keep surprising you.
