She’s beautiful in every sense of the word but her
playfulness and imaginative spirit is what captivates you. Every moment with her feels like an adventure
that you wish you could relive over and over again. Even when you’re feeling down she always
manages to cheer you up and put a smile on your face. Her head may always be in the clouds but you
wouldn’t have it any other way.

Twisted Princess: Vanellope
Story:
Ralph and King Candy were fighting in the sky over Diet Cola
Mountain when Ralph managed to break free of his grasp. Vanellope's heart
stopped as she watched Ralph fall from a distance. She glitched across Sugar
Rush, avoiding the horde of cy-bugs that have taken over the game. As Ralph
plummeted to the summit of Diet Cola Mountain, King Candy commanded a swarm of
cy-bugs that descended upon him. He managed to smash through the Mentos roof of
the mountain just as the swarm attacked him. A few Mentos managed to make it
into the boiling Diet Cola lava but not enough to trigger a full volcanic
eruption since the swarm was able to shield most of the falling Mentos. The
cy-bugs threw Ralph to the ground, sending him crashing through Vanellope’s
home. She glitched into the mountain just in time to see Ralph stumble out of
the debris as he was surrounded by cy-bugs. Ralph attempted to stand and
immediately grabbed his side in pain and dropped to one knee. Ralph was pierced
by a long candy cane shard. He grabbed the shard and pulled it out. He let out
a howl that rang through the mountain. The cy-bugs began to attack. Ralph used
the shard to stab the first cy-bug. The pain from the motion hurt so much that
it caused Ralph to crumple to the ground. Just as the other cy-bugs were about
to attack, Vanellope glitched to Ralph and then glitched through the mountain
with him on the front of her kart. Vanellope was so happy to see Stinkbrain but
her celebration was short lived when she noticed how hurt Ralph was. She needed
to get Ralph to Felix so he could heal him. They glitched back to the Sugar
Rush entrance that was barely being held by Sergeant Calhoun and Felix. Calhoun
ran out of ammo and heaved her pistol at the nearest cy-bug. Her and Felix were
backing up into the Game Central Station tunnel until they noticed Vanellope
carrying a mortally injured Ralph. Felix rushed back out into the game just as
a cy-bug snapped at him and got a hold of his belt. Calhoun rushed out and
roundhoused the cy-bug off the bridge as it tore Felix’s belt from his waist
along with his magic hammer. He reached out for it as it fell but it was out of
his grasp. Calhoun grabbed him and then rolled back into the tunnel. The bridge
was completely overrun. Vanellope manages glitched over the horde as Ralph
noticed that the cy-bugs were about to enter the tunnel with no way for Calhoun
and Felix to stop them. Ralph looked back at Vanellope and smiled and a lone
tear ran down her face. She knew what Ralph was about to do. Ralph leapt from
the cart and came down on the bridge just in front of the tunnel entrance,
shattering the bridge and connecting wall and sending himself and all the
cy-bugs plummeting to the valley below. Vanellope let out a cry of despair and
chased after him. When she got to the bottom of the canyon the cy-bugs were
swarming over Ralph. She saw his hand reaching out of the swarm but his hand
became lifeless and fell back in. The cy-bugs all seemed to stop and then all
turned around and looked at her. They started to approach slowly and then the
horde parted, revealing a monstrous plaid cy-bug with a glowing heart on its
head that said “You’re My Hero”. Vanellope slammed her hand on the steering
wheel and cried out Ralph’s name. The plaid cy-bug raised it’s head and then
let out a menacing howl that sounded like “WRECK IT!”. And then suddenly
charged at Vanellope. She quickly shifted the cart into gear, gunned the
engine, whipped the cart around, and took off in the opposite direction. As she
raced through the valley she noticed the candy walls cracking from Ralph
smashing the bridge. Huge boulders of rock candy began to fall all around her.
Each one, only inches away from wrecking her kart. She glanced behind her to
see that the plaid cy-bug was right on her tail and snapping at her. She turned
back around and looked up and narrowly avoided a giant boulder that ended up
crushing the plaid cy-bug, sending it’s head sailing in front of her. She
slammed on the brakes and drifted to a stop. All the rock candy from the
avalanche settled and all that could be heard was the distant buzzing of the
cy-bugs. She got out of her cart and walked toward the head of the cy-bug. She
dropped to her knees and placed her hand on it. Her heart was heavy and her
eyes filled with tears as she gritted her teeth. She picked up the head of the
cy-bug and placed it on her kart. She ran her fingers over the heart on the
cy-bug’s head and under her breath said “King Candy will pay for this!”…
So she pretty much becomes a road warrior that gathers the
remaining inhabitants of Sugar Rush to battle King Candy and his cy-bug army
haha.
Also, in case people were curious as to why Ralph didn't turn
into a cy-bug version of himself like King Candy wass because he died before he
was consumed. I always figured that if a character is alive when they're eaten
their code will be more dominant than that of the cy-bug, but should the
character already be dead, the cy-bug's code would be more dominant and take
over. It made sense to me.
