* CreatureOfHabit: In ''Ralph Breaks the Internet'', Ralph revels in the life he and Vanellope have had for the past six years. Every day they go to work, every night they get to have fun and play in the many games in the arcade, they watch the sunrise together, then they do it all again the next day. For Ralph, he's living the dream. This is at odds with Vanellope who wants to mix things up in her life and face the rush of the unpredicable.

* ShesGotLegs: And they are highlighted by her armor.

* CryCute:
** Starts crying when she discovers [[spoiler:Ralph went behind her back and struck a deal with King Candy]]. Proceeds to get worse until [[spoiler:Ralph smashes her car to pieces]], at which point she completely loses it.
** A more straight and positive example occurs [[spoiler:after ''Sugar Rush'''s restoration and the reveal of Vanellope being its ruler, where she tears up while offering Ralph a place in her castle.]]

* BigGuyLittleGuy: Ralph is the big guy who wrecks things, while Felix is the little guy who fixes things.

* FaceOfAThug:

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his intimidating appearance and in-game role as the hulking, destructive bad guy, outside gameplay, he's very sweet and kind.

* PrimaryColorChampion: Inverted; he's his game's antagonist and wears orange and brown. Contrast with Felix's blue clothes.

* NiceHat: One that isn't too dissimilar to Mario's, either.

* CrazyJealousGuy: In the sequel, Ralph becomes a platonic version to Vanellope. [[spoiler:His Insecurity Virus clones take it UpToEleven.]]

* TheHero: Of his game; his job is to fix the building that [[BigBad Ralph]] is wrecking. If the gamer wins, Felix will get a medal and a kiss on the cheek from Mary.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Because her generation was only recently plugged into the arcade, she doesn't know the story of Turbo until Felix filled her in.

* TookALevelInKindness: She's a lot nicer in the sequel, thanks to dropping much of her BrattyHalfPint and HiddenHeartOfGold qualities she had in the first movie.

* KnifeNut: She pulls out a bayonet when she's run out of ammo.

* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel, where she's only present for a handful of scenes along with Felix near the beginning and ending. She even ends up with one less scene than Felix, who gets a scene between him and Ralph. She and Felix were originally going to appear in a plot (that eventually rejoined with Ralph and Vanellope's) where we would see how the couple was handling the racers, but it was reportedly cut due to time constraints (though no explanation exists for why it received lower priority than the cameo scenes).

* DrowningMySorrows: Joins Ralph in doing this in the wake of taking in [[BrattyHalfPint all 15 displaced Sugar Rush racers outside Vanellope]] when the game is unplugged. There's a point in their conversation where it dawns on him that he's stuck babysitting such an unmanageable number of unruly children and he downs the rest of his entire mug of root beer in one swig.

* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel, where she's only present for a handful of scenes along with Felix near the beginning and ending. She even ends up with one less scene than Felix, who gets a scene between him and Ralph. She was originally going to appear in a scene in the middle where it would show how she and Felix were doing as parents, but it was reportedly cut due to time constraints (though no explanation exists for why it received lower priority than the cameo scenes).

* BerserkButton:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ralph can be a great guy to befriend, but [[BerserkButton that doesn't mean he doesn't have his limits]].

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: In his game, Ralph is a hulking, raging brute that fully intends to smash a building full of innocent tenants. When the game isn't being played, he is a sweet, gentle, and well-spoken person who appears to have a friendly and professional relationship with the other video game characters. Interestingly enough, the game actually hints at this in the intro sequence, where Ralph is presented as happy and friendly and just taking a nap in a tree trunk, only to wake up with his home forest destroyed, at which point he goes [[BerserkButton berserk]].

* WiseBeyondHerYears: Due to being treated like a glitch from the others. Her [[HiddenHeartOfGold facade]] is just a way to blow off some steam, and her real wisdom shows up when [[spoiler:she's willing to accept her doom with a smile for the sake of Ralph's own safety during the Cy-Bug invasion of ''Sugar Rush'']]. Keep in mind ''[[AdultFear she's nine]]''.

* SkirtOverSlacks: She wears a skirt over slacks/leggings, which shows a girly streak to an otherwise tomboyish character. In this particular case, it also provides a means for adding a candy aspect; the skirt is a wrapper.

-->[[spoiler:'''Ralph:''' ''[after seeing the pursuing Ralph viruses]'' Wow. [[SincerityMode I don't blame you for thinking that way about me...]]]]

* AbdicateTheThrone: [[spoiler:(Debatably) retroactively subverted. When she becomes Princess Vanellope, she decides she doesn't want to be a princess, abolishes the monarchy, and declares it a democracy, announcing her intent to continue ruling as President. However, in between movies she apparently decided that she was a princess after all, because in ''Ralph Breaks the Internet'' she wins the Disney Princesses over by claiming that she's a princess as well. The "debatable" part comes in with the idea that Vanellope was apparently playing her scheming cards right to avoid being attacked or seen as an intruder, and the returning crew's apparent distaste of their lack of creative freedom on RBTI [[https://www.thewrap.com/ralph-breaks-the-internet-director-rich-moore-to-join-sony-pictures-animation/]], including Vanellope diverging from her established character to accomodate a cameo scene]].
