Angel Von Creamcake

Angel Von Creamcake is the deuteragonist of Calico's 2012 animated feature film Wreck-It Ralph and its upcoming sequel. She is the snarky, rebellious princess of Sugar Rush that had been turned into a glitch by King Kandy. With no memories of her past, Angel became an ostracized misfit with dreams of becoming a real racer. Through an unlikely friendship formed with Wreck-It Ralph, Angel would learn the truth of her noble background and set out to restore her broken code.

Background
Angel Von Creamcake was the main character in the video game Sugar Rush. Not only was she the lead character, but she also used to be the in-game world's princess. However, at some point prior to the start of the film, an old racing video game character named Rocket hijacked Sugar Rush, turned himself into a character named King Kandy, and tried to delete Angel's code (but couldn't), turning her into a glitch instead. Once Angel became a glitch, King Kandy was free to rule the kingdom, having all the inhabitants of Sugar Rush 's memories of Princess Angel locked away. However, if Angel was to ever cross the finish line in an official race, her code would be restored and Rocket's machinations would be undone. To prevent this from occurring, King Kandy—with the help of his minion, Sour Bill—had the citizens of the game believe having a glitch race could lead to the game being unplugged. Due to this lie, Angel became a pariah, was repeatedly tormented and ostracized by the game's citizens, most notably the other racers, led in their bullying by Devyn DelCoco. Angel was able to find sanctuary within Cola Mountain, a volcano that towers over the land of Sugar Rush that carries an unfinished bonus level track.

As a result of her being a glitch, Angel was unable to leave the game and escape her tormentors. However, she also gained the unique ability to glitch, or teleport, from place to place in the blink of an eye, though she didn't have much control over it, and it sometimes hindered her efforts to get into races.

Official Description
''Known as the "Glitch", Angel is a pixelating programming mistake in the candy-coated kart-racing game Sugar Rush. With a racer's spirit embedded in her coding, Angel is determined to earn her place in the starting lineup amongst the other racers. The only problem: the other racers don't want her or her glitching in the game. Years of rejection have left Angel with a wicked sense of humor and a razor-sharp tongue. However, somewhere beneath that hard shell is a sweet center just waiting to be revealed.''

Personality
In line with her programmed age, Angel is extremely energetic, talkative, and childish. When excited, she zestfully zips and bounces around while repeatedly exclaiming the reasoning behind her excitement ("I'm gonna learn to drive, I'm gonna learn to drive!"), much like an actual child. She has a rather immature sense of humor (finding enjoyment in mimicking and toilet humor), and has the tendency to purposely annoy those around her as a means to amuse herself. This is seen through her friendship with Ralph, as the two are known to give each other puerilely condescending nicknames.

Unfortunately, years of bullying due to King Kandy's propaganda against her left Angel with a sharp tongue and a somewhat sour disposition. When first greeted, she comes off as annoying, obnoxious and rude, with little concern for the feelings or ambitions of other people, in comparison to benefiting herself. However, these aspects of her character are merely a result of her tragic upbringing, and were more so done for survival, rather than pure pleasure. Before Ralph's arrival, Angel was a loner, and the only programs she had any contact with were her abusers. Therefore, she had never experienced friendship or any form of compassion.

Angel is an enthusiastic dreamer. In truth, she is sensitive and vulnerable beneath her rough exterior, wanting nothing more than to be accepted by the inhabitants of her game—despite said inhabitants constantly mistreating her, both physically and mentally. She is very forgiving in this regard, and is evidently unwilling to hold grudges.

Angel is also crafty and intelligent. As an opportunistic quick-thinker, Angel has enough cunning to concoct elaborate schemes on the spot, which made her a threat to the villainous agenda of King Kandy. Strong-willed, independent and filled with spunk, Angel refuses to stand down without a fight, and shows efficiency in reaching her goals for the most part. It was her lack of physical strength that truly kept Vanellope from becoming a racer independently, as Kandy and his henchmen were able to counter her intellect with their weaponry and brute force.

Interestingly, although years of being shunned has left her with negative traits, Angel is one of the only characters in the film with a lack of prejudice. After learning Ralph is classified as a video game "bad-guy", Angel never berates him on his position; instead, she looked beyond Ralph's programmed occupation, and understood that his label is only a job title, and does not define who he is on the inside. Her kindness would heavily influence Ralph, and it was through their friendship that Ralph learned what it truly means to be a hero.

Physical Appearance
Angel is a young 12-year old girl with a small stature. She has short, puffy, creamish-white hair with a pale pink bow covered in sprinkles. Her design was influenced by Japanese/Anime artwork, notably the style of Chibi, with large, pale blue eyes. She carries a slender body, has noticeabe overbite, large, round ears and a small, pink, jellybean-like nose. Similar to how the other leads in the movie have their faces based off their voice actors, Angel's face and hair are designed to resemble a younger Penelope Platinum.

Angel's signature "glitch" outfit is a pale pink hoodie, with a brown double-layered skirt that resembles the wrapping of a peanut-butter cup (many of the girls have skirts like this), green, white, and purple leggings, and small black boots. It is notable that her leggings are mismatched, one covered in broad mint green bands, the other in thinner mint bands and purple lines. They are designed to resemble candy cane stripes. Her hoodie laces and stitches are red and resemble licorice candies, such as Twizzlers. Underneath her hoodie is a violet shirt. It is only seen in a "blink and you'll miss it" scene in the video game's last cut scene. Her high ponytail is tied with a Twizzler. The pink squiggles under her boots resemble icing. She owns red racing goggles that were seen during the Random Roster Race's coin depositing.

On the side of the Sugar Rush game cabinet, Angel can be seen in her royal racing attire which is a pink, blue, and white jumpsuit with brown gloves. In the film's concept art, her racing attire comes with a white helmet with a golden crown design detailed onto it.

As a princess, Vanellope wore a full skirted glittery long-sleeved gown with lacy white gloves. Her gradient pink petticoat is noticeably covered in pink, white, and red gumdrops, sprinkled everywhere like beads. However, chocolate sprinkles can be seen on the lower end of the petticoat. The skirt has many layers and opens in the front to show a deep pink underskirt.

Her gown was also given a pink flowing cloak, and a large high white lace heart collar, resembling Elizabethan royal attire. The collar is edged in a cut-out pattern of candy canes and lollipops. In addition, she wears another, somewhat smaller, white ruffled collar. In this outfit, she wears a red tiara. Her hair is tied up in a bun instead of a high ponytail and is covered in sprinkles that are various shades of pink. With the outfit, Vanellope owns a pink lollipop scepter with a noticeable crown symbol over it. Although she dislikes it, she wore it at Calhoun and Felix's wedding as her maid of honor outfit.
