Description
Vanilla Mieux is a witch and the royal heir of the Magical World as daughter of Queen Candy. She is the childhood best friend and succession rival of Chocolat Meilleure, with a white mouse familiar named Blanca who provides her counsel.
She possesses a petite stature, short curly blonde hair, large purple eyes, small fangs, and the pointy ears typical of witches from Le Royame. In the human world, she typically wears a school uniform with white legwarmers. Her witch attire includes purple and blue garments adorned with a green ribbon, black boots, purple gloves, and a blue-lined cape, accessorized with a golden diamond-shaped pendant and a blue wand topped with a diamond. As the Ogre Princess, she dons a sleeveless dark purple dress, matching gloves, a tiara, and slippers, while retaining her original wand and pendant.
Kind, sensitive, and timid, Vanilla is also organized, intelligent, shy, and clumsy, often prone to crying. Her gentle nature earned her popularity in the human world, though she was less favored in the Magical World where assertiveness is prized. More conscientious and calm than Chocolat, she tends to think situations through carefully. Despite their rivalry for the crown, she values her friendship above the competition and regularly offers Chocolat support and advice.
Her childhood was shadowed by maternal neglect due to her mother’s royal obligations, fostering deep insecurities. These feelings worsened when she believed Queen Candy favored Chocolat, culminating in jealousy after Chocolat received a hairpin gift and Vanilla received nothing. This emotional vulnerability led to her manipulation by Pierre, who implanted a Noir heart in her, transforming her into the Ogre Princess. In this state, she collected Noir and Magical Hearts with startling efficiency, initially surpassing Chocolat but suffering profound inner conflict as her true heart resisted the darkness. Chocolat eventually purified the Noir heart, restoring Vanilla, who then vowed never to doubt their friendship again.
Romantically, she developed feelings for Woo, one of the twin brothers from the Magical World, after he complimented her spellcasting and character. Initially not close, she grew deeply concerned when his heart turned black and openly committed to saving him. Their relationship deepened over time, with Woo displaying protective behavior and concern. By the manga’s conclusion, they are implied to be a couple, possibly married, and share moments of emotional support and affection.
The outcome of her queen candidacy varies. In the manga, Chocolat and Pierre disappear during the final battle, leaving Vanilla to become Queen by default. She accepts reluctantly and maintains her position even after Chocolat’s return, as Chocolat believes her to be the rightful ruler. In the anime, Vanilla wins by collecting more hearts but immediately relinquishes the crown to Chocolat at the coronation, believing her better suited to strengthen ties with the Ogre World due to Chocolat’s bond with Pierre. Vanilla then pursues her personal dream of running a bakery in the Magical World.
Her magical abilities are oriented toward helping others rather than direct combat, reflecting her compassionate nature. As the Ogre Princess, she gained enhanced powers for collecting hearts and commanding darkness, though these abilities brought her significant inner turmoil.
