Vanilla the Rabbit

Vanilla is Cream’s esteemed mother, who was once kidnapped by Doctor Eggman and subsequently rescued by Sonic the Hedgehog up in space (“Sonic Advance 2”). She has always taught her daughter never to forget her manners, being knowledgeable in courtesy and etiquette herself, and proves to be a very affectionate parent.

In “Dimension Mix-Up,” just prior to the War Above Earth, Vanilla is seen looking fearfully up at the sky from Leaf Forest and seeing the Death Egg there, along with the rest of the Doctor’s fleet. Later on, Vanilla is abducted by Chaos Epsilon of the E-Series, and brought aboard the station; there, she sees Cream and the rest of the group, and realizes that she, Vanilla, is a hostage. Vanilla watches intently as Sonic and the Doctor argue over the chaos emeralds and the rest of the captives, and just when Sonic despairingly decides to hand the emeralds over, Shadow suddenly arrives, takes the emeralds, and begins liberating all of the hostages, Vanilla included. She runs to Cream then, immensely relieved to be reunited with her daughter.

Vanilla then watches anxiously as the E-Series robots, a crocodile, and some form of monstrous turtle begin fighting the group, and tries to keep Cream out of harm’s way during all of the confusion. Then, as the Death Egg begins descending toward Earth and Shadow transports everyone down to the surface, Vanilla remains at Cream’s side as the station looms toward the planet, and then witnesses Shadow’s act of bravery, as he and the E-Series robots save everyone from the Death Egg. Afterward, from Doctor’s Eggman’s arrest to a donut presentation for two tall aliens, Vanilla observes some very strange occurrences, until finally joining everyone else in celebration back in Leaf Forest, in one instance watching and expressing amusement as Amy Rose chases Sonic, yet again.

As soon as Cream returns from her mission with the rest of the group in “Dimension Takeover,” Vanilla is seen at the end hugging her daughter, overjoyed to have her back home safe and sound.
