"I suppose you want a refund. I'll just get your money. I keep it in a place called... tough luck, losers!"

- Mrs. Vandersnout, "Chili Dog Day Afternoon"

Mrs. Vandersnout is a character who appears in the Sonic Boom television series. She is an anthropomorphic elderly wolf with a shady character who lives on Bygone Island. She is also a member of the Village Council.

TV series
While in the Village Center, Mrs. Vandersnout got caught in a meteor shower that came down from above. Fortunately for her, Sticks averted the crisis. Later, she would chat around the Village Center where she hear Orbot and Cubot's horrendous street act (much to her regret), and come to see a show at T.W. Barker's Circus of Wonders. Another time, Mrs. Vandersnout tried tasting some tomato sauce Dr. Eggman was selling. However, she was stopped by Sonic who thought the sauce was poisoned until Eggman proved him wrong (although it was still part of an evil scheme).

On a trip to another village, Mrs. Vandersnout met Sonic, whom she slowed down on his way to the library by telling him about the time she got a free soda with money she found. While Mrs. Vandersnout continued visiting Meh Burger, she got caught up in the competition between Chez Amy and Meh Burger. Over the next period, Mrs. Vandersnout regularly switched between these establishments, depending on their gimmicks, before settling at Chez Amy until Eggman destroyed it. Mrs. Vandersnout later saw the arrival of Swifty the Shrew, whose hip attitude immediately captivated her. After Shifty got Sonic banished from the Village however, Mrs. Vandersnout learned that he was a robot working for Eggman. As multiple Swiftys tore the Village apart, Mrs. Vandersnout regrouped with the Village Council and got Sonic unbanished, who in turn got rid of Eggman's army.

As the annual Chili Dog Cook-Off arrived, Mrs. Vandersnout tried earning monkey by selling regular chili peppers which she claimed to be unique to the participants. However, her scam was found out by Team Sonic and her attempts to evade refunds failed badly. Mrs. Vandersnout later came to Knuckles while he served as deputy major and had him approve a bill of her own. However, she soon noticed the chaos unfolding in the Village due to Knuckles' reckless use of power. Back at Meh Burger, Mrs. Vandersnout overheard Sonic calling Mike the Ox "just a guy." Thinking Sonic was being insensitive, she kept reprimanding him alongside an angry mob of fellow-minded villagers until he retired. As the Lightning Bolt Society began to harass her and the villagers though, Mrs. Vandersnout tried to get Sonic's help, but was turned down. She was soon after nearly trampled by a sheep stampede, but was saved by Sonic who then took care of the Lightning Bolts, the sheep and an Eggman attack, and Mrs. Vandersnout realized she was wrong about Sonic. No sooner though, she was insulted by Willy Walrus.

On New Year's even, Mrs. Vandersnout showed up to the party in the Village Center. There, Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year, though Mrs. Vandersnout did not see Eggman's victory as it happened too fast for her to notice. When the Justin Beaver fever later hit the Village, Mrs. Vandersnout became a mindless Justin fan girl and consumer thanks to Justin's mind control music. After spending her money on Justin's merchandise and autograph, Mrs. Vandersnout came to Justin's concert where he and Dreamboat Express had a sing-off. There, she was freed from the mind control by Dreamboat Express, now Dude-itude. Mrs. Vandersnout later returned to the Village Center where she to her amusement saw Tails perform a dating dance.

Mrs. Vandersnout later came to an audition for Bro-Down Showdown with Mayor Fink. However, they were rejected by Justin's producer who found them "too old." Regardless, Mrs. Vandersnout remained for a while to see the show live. Another time, Mrs. Vandersnout followed Comedy Chimp's fan signing and photo shooting, during which Knuckles began a trash can trend. She would thus subsequently shower the echidna with admiration and adoration during his time of fame. Joining an angry mob at the town hall when Sonic was thought to be a thief, Mrs. Vandersnout suggested getting Sonic with poisoned cookies, but realized they did not wish to kill him. There, Knuckles promised them to find Sonic. Later though, Mrs. Vandersnout saw Sonic and his allies return the stolen goods and prove Eggman was the culprit.

Personality
Mrs. Vandersnout normally appears as a mild-mannered and polite lady. In truth, she is a deceiving, brusque and money-grubbing person willing to pull off dishonest scams. She has even shown a somewhat ruthless side as she once casually thought of killing Sonic with poison. When her shady side is exposed though, she tends to fall back on her soft-spoken and sympathetic elderly behavior. She does admit her actions are not morally correct though, having admitted that she deserves the punishments she gets.

Mrs. Vandersnout likes to talk about the past but comes off as absentminded, if not a little senile, as she did not recall not telling Sonic her old stories after just meeting him.
