History Characters / WreckItRalphMainCharacters

* 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, [[https://www.thewrap.com/ralph-breaks-the-internet-director-rich-moore-to-join-sony-pictures-animation/ and the returning crew's apparent distaste of their lack of creative freedom on RBTI]], including Vanellope diverging from her established character to accommodate a cameo scene]].

* DisneyVillainDeath: Downplayed. Whenever the player completes a level his home game, the Nicelanders toss him off the roof of their building, but he clearly survives.

* AllLovingHeroine: Heavily implied given her profound forgiving nature despite everything's she's been through.

* BoobsOfSteel: She is very buxom in addition to being a badass space marine.

** He also tells Calhoun that she's "One dynamite gal", unaware that [[spoiler:that was her fiancé's AffectionateNickname for her]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ralph is barefoot. It fits in with his "Wild Man" design. It also constitutes BarefootPoverty, as Ralph lives in a dump in the ''Fix-It Felix Jr.'' world. He's even barefoot during [[spoiler:the wedding of Calhoun and Felix]]. It may be due to his feet being almost as oversized as his hands, and thus there are no shoes in his game big enough to fit him, especially since everyone else there is less than half his size. In the sequel, Yesss calls him out for it.

* PeekABangs: The right side of her face is partially covered with her hair.

* FanNickname: Fans collectively refer to the four main characters as the "Core Four", particularly when talking about their relationships with each other.

* OffModel: InUniverse. Vanellope has brown eyes, but the Sugar Rush arcade machine has her have turquoise eyes.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] when Kohut says that "she's been programmed with the most tragic backstory ever". We don't know the full extent of her backstory, but we do know that her fiancé was eaten by a Cy-Bug on their wedding day because she didn't check the perimeter, which is pretty tragic in itself. Then remember that her fiancé was eaten by a creature that turns into what it eats. You can see it start to transform before the camera cuts to her horrified face as she shoots it.

* HatedByAll: Of the undeserved variety. Everyone in ''Sugar Rush'' hates her because she's a glitch; her appearance at the Random Roster Race causes the fans to start screaming in terror while King Candy calls security to get her out, and the other racers gleefully smash her kart to bits. She lives all by herself under Diet Cola Mountain with whatever she can scavenge and sleeps in a dessert shell with candy wrappers for blankets. [[spoiler:When the game's programming is repaired and she's revealed to be the true ruler of ''Sugar Rush,'' she gains a HundredPercentAdorationRating, and she deserves every bit of it after what she's been through.]]

* ContraltoOfDanger: She's tough-as-nails, has the lowest female voice (she is voiced by Jane Lynch), and is by far the most overtly badass character in the movie.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnCReilly (English), François-Xavier Demaison (French)

* BadassInCharge: She'd have to be to survive in a game like ''[[CrapsackWorld Hero's Duty]]'', where you've got Cy-Bugs on your tail coming at you from every direction imaginable. They don't call her ''Sergeant'' Calhoun for nothing.

* BareYourMidriff: In a comedic example after the climax of the sequel, [[spoiler:when Ralph sits up wearing Snow White's dress, it breaks around the waist due to being too small for Ralph. Ralph then "adjusts" it by breaking it further, exposing his large belly.]]

* FashionableAsymmetry: Her leggings don't match.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In the movie video game, during the last cutscene, you can see Vanellope wearing a violet t-shirt; it's best seen in 3D mode in the 3DS copy of the game, otherwise, it's little or non-visible.

** Wreck-It Ralph - Red
** Fix-It Felix Jr. - Blue
** Sergeant Calhoun - Black/Yellow (presumably for her hair)
** Vanellope - Green

* AlliterativeName: Well, the "W" in Wreck is silent, so it works when spoken.

* BigBad: InUniverse. He is the villain of his game. He smashes the buildings of the Nicelanders, and even throws them. It's actually {{Justified}} since in the game, the Nicelanders demolished his home, so he has all the right to try to do the same to theirs. They find out what happens when Ralph doesn't want to be that guy anymore and go MassOhCrap when he ''doesn't'' show up to destroy their buildings.

* CreativeSterility: He claims that he can't create anything, just wreck it, which is why he's reluctant to help Vanellope build her kart. [[spoiler:He proves himself wrong when he makes a race track for Vanellope before the climax and then again at the end he builds a shack for himself and a little town for all the homeless video game characters, with some help from Felix.]]
* 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 unpredictable.

* SmoochOfVictory: He gets one from a female Nicelander after completing a level in the ''Fix-it Felix Jr.'' game. He later gives a rare male-to-female version to Calhoun after the Cy-Bugs are defeated. [[spoiler: She responds with a BigDamnKiss.]]

* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: In the first film, she goes to great efforts to get the Hero's Duty medal so she can be admitted to the racing lineup. [[spoiler: In the end, it turns out that she always had the racing ability programmed in her code and that King Candy[=/=]Turbo had her memories locked away in the vault from the other inhabitants of the kingdom who had forgotten that she was the rightful ruler who was part of the game from the very start.]]
* IWantSong: Parodied in the sequel. The Disney Princesses encourage her to sing to know what she wants of her life. When she gets in the mood, she gets a musical piece called "A Place Called Slaughter Race", a by-the-numbers Disney song... about her wish to stay in an ultra violent racing game.

* MaleGaze: Due to it being a PG film, it's subtle, but it's there in a few scenes, coupled with a SexyWalk.

* VocalDissonance: She appears to be a beautiful young woman somewhere in her 20s or 30s but has Jane Lynch's husky, mature voice.

* ContraltoOfDanger: She's tough-as-nails, and has the lowest female voice (she is voiced by Jane Lynch) and is by far the most overtly badass character in the movie.

* VocalDissonance: She appears to be a beautiful young woman somewhere in her 20's or 30's but has the gruff voice of Jane Lynch.
