Vanilla the Rabbit (Sonic X)

Vanilla the Rabbit (ヴァニラ・ザ・ラビット) is a character in the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. She is an anthropomorphic rabbit and the mother of Cream the Rabbit. For a time, she was separate from her daughter, but was eventually reunited with her after being sent to Earth. Eventually, Vanilla returned to her world with her friends and family where she continued her usual lifestyle.

New World Saga
One night, Vanilla was separated from her daughter when Cream was kidnapped by Dr. Eggman and transported to Earth by Chaos Control.

Egg Moon Saga
Vanilla was eventually transported to Earth herself by a Chaos Control event caused by Super Sonic and Super Shadow. Having hired the Chaotix Detective Agency to help her find Cream, Vanilla herself eventually came across Sonic the Hedgehog on this new world, who took her to her daughter at the Thorndyke Mansion, where Vector the Crocodile and Charmy were trying to take Cream with them by force. Cream was overjoyed to reunite with her mother and the two embraced in a nice warm hug. Vanilla subsequently thanked Vector for finding her daughter and Sonic for watching over Cream all this time. After that, Vanilla moved into the Thorndyke Mansion and cooked with Cream and Ella, as well as constantly looking out for Sonic and the others.

Some time later, Vanilla joined Cream and the others on the Thorndyke yacht as they prepared to celebrate the New Year by observing the sunrise. There, she assured her concerned daughter that her fears about the sun not showing itself were misplaced. However, when the sunrise got ruined by the Egg Moon, which caused a solar eclipse, Vanilla returned to the Thorndyke Mansion with the others. Dr. Eggman, the creator of the Egg Moon, claimed the Egg Moon was malfunctioning and began selling Sunshine Balls, which provided artificial light, to the world while he worked on the Egg Moon. However, Sonic soon began destroying the Mirror Towers powering the Sunshine Balls. When Vanilla was with the others in the Thorndyke Mansions, she and the others got cornered by angry mobs who had lost their light sources because of Sonic. Amy tried to help Vanilla and co. escape by breaking a wall down, but they were soon confronted by the mob. Fortunately, the Speed Team arrived and forced the mob to leave. In the end, thanks to Sonic, it was revealed that Eggman was deliberately causing the eclipse for a plot to gain world domination. Soon after, everything was returned to normal while Eggman and his lackeys got thrown in jail.

Emerl Saga
One day, Vanilla was having tea with her friends at the Thorndyke Mansion while Chris was in bed with a cold. While there, she saw Chris' parents, Nelson and Lindsey, arrive to check up on Chris. She soon after bore witness to witness to an argument between the Thorndykes over Lindsey and Nelson's irresponsible behavior. This argument was (partially) defused when Vanilla and the others agreed to make a pie for Chris together. While in the kitchen however, Vanilla and the group got attacked by the mansion's machines, which had been brought to life by one of Eggman's inventions. While Vanilla was kept safe by Sonic and co., the appliances were destroyed when the mansion's sprinklers went off and short-circuited them. Vanilla remained afterward in the mansion while the others stopped the appliances running amok across Station Square.

As time passed, Emerl grew to become a valuable friend to Vanilla and her daughter. That is, until the Chaos Emerald Martial Arts Mash-Up, when the power of the Chaos Emerald awarded to the winner caused Emerl to go berserk. Though Vanilla protected her daughter, when Emerl pushed Cream too far by attacking Sonic and her friends, she and Cheese were able to defeat and destroy Emerl. Vanilla comforted Cream afterwards as she mourned her friend.

Homebound Saga
Weeks after, a portal was created which could return Vanilla and her friends to their own world as part of Project Homebound. On the day of departure, Vanilla and Cream happily left and returned to their cottage. Some time later, Amy visited them for tea one night, only to be rudely interrupted by Eggman in his Grand Egg Imperial, trying to call Sonic out by causing as much unrest as he could. When he and his lackeys insult and enrage Amy, Vanilla has herself, Cream, and Cheese lock themselves in their house for protection to avoid Amy's wrath.

Metarex Saga
Returned back to their peaceful lifestyle in their cottage, Vanilla and Cream were happy once again. Vector the Crocodile and Vanilla had also appeared to develop a crush on each other, but neither of them had made any moves. After a few months, the Metarex declared war on the planet and Cream and Vanilla participated in helping the inhabitants of her world. During this incident, Vanilla took Cosmo in for a day before Cream set out with the rest of her friends to fight the Metarex in space.

Vanilla eventually asked Vector to deliver Chris' things (that Chris' family sent from Station Square) to the Blue Typhoon in space and to check up on Cream and Cheese.
