History
Past
Living in Floral Forest Village with Cream, Cheese and Chocola, Vanilla occasionally allowed her daughter to go on adventures with Sonic.[2]
Sometime in the past, Miles "Tails" Prower reprogrammed the robot Gemerl after he was turned into a violent robot by Dr. Eggman. Following this, Gemerl went on to live with Vanilla and her family in Floral Forest Village.[2]
Crisis City

Vanilla and her family later got involved in a new threat when Floral Forest Village was invaded by Dr. Eggman in his new flying fortress, the Faceship. With it, Dr. Eggman poured a large batch of the Metal Virus into the village, creating several Zombots. Barricading her family inside their house with the aid of Chocola, Vanilla told Cream to stay inside during this attack but the young rabbit wished to aid the villagers as she had Cheese by her side, just as Vanilla had Chocola. Regardless, Vanilla still did not grant Cream permission to leave, so Gemerl was tasked with aiding the village instead. Eventually, Cream ran outside, with Vanilla unable to stop her. By the time Cream returned though, Vanilla, Cheese and Chocola were surrounded by Zombots inside their house. Cheese and Chocola soon after became Zombots themselves after they attacked the leading Zombot. Vanilla then took Cream and tried to escape with her, only for another Zombot to cut them off. Fortunately, Sonic arrived and helped the duo evacuate their house. Cream then flew Vanilla to the north glade of the village where a Rescue Shuttle awaited them.[2]
At Restoration HQ, Vanilla let Cream stay up later than usual one day to help around.[3]
The Last Minute

Following Vector and Espio's mission for survivors in Pine Grove Village, one of the refugees from the village was revealed to be infected by the Metal Virus and subsequently turned into a Zombot. This caused a mass panic among the rest of the refugees, which led to them getting infected by both the infected refugee and Charmy Bee. Vanilla herself was cornered by several Zombots. When Amy came by, Vanilla requested that she take Cream away from the HQ and keep her safe. Amy quickly complied, much to the protest of Cream, and left Vanilla at the mercy of the other Zombots.[1]
Personality
Vanilla is a calm, gentle, and pacifistic person. She is very polite in all that she does and is very caring in nature, especially to her daughter, Cream. Her care for her daughter makes her very cautious and protective person; in spite of all the adventures her daughter has been on, Vanilla is not willing to let Cream endanger herself on her watch. She can be trusting and understanding, and has been known to make decisions she feels will benefit others.[2]
