*Vanilla the Rabbit (ヴァニラ・ザ・ラビット, Vanira za Rabitto?) is a character that appears in the Sonic X anime series 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 separated 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.

Vanilla is a tall, cream-colored anthropomorphic rabbit with a white muzzle that possesses a small brown nose. She has brown eyes and a tuft of Princeton orange hair on her forehead. She has brown eyelids and Princeton orange markings around her eyes and on the ends of her lopped ears. For attire, Vanilla wears a long lavender dress with a white trim at the bottom of the puffy sleeves and the skirt, a burgundy-fitted vest with golden buttons, a blue ascot (orange in the comics and games), white gloves with gold cufflinks, and burgundy low-heeled shoes with a yellow detail and gray soles.

Vanilla is a calm and composed woman, never raising her voice. Like her daughter, she is nice and kind to others, and always ready to help those in need. Apparently possessing a strong faith in Cream and her friends, Vanilla is not bothered in the least by how Cream goes out on dangerous adventures with Sonic all the time.*
