Vanellope's Medal

Vanellope's medal is a key object in Disney's 2012 animated feature Wreck-It Ralph. It is an edible, homemade medal created by Vanellope von Schweetz as a gift to Ralph.

Description
The medal is a heart-shaped cookie. Its back has a chocolate surface which reads To Stinkbrain while its front is decorated with sprinkles and reads, You're my hero. The medal is affixed with a pink ribbon coated in sugar.

Wreck-It Ralph
After Ralph helps Vanellope to create the Candy Kart, she uses the confectionary substance of Sugar Rush to create a medal in the event that Ralph cannot reclaim the Medal of Heroes. This is due to how much having a medal means to Ralph. Ralph accepts the medal, but due to King Candy's instigation (made possible in part by returning Ralph's Medal of Heroes), is coaxed into destroying the kart in an effort to protect Vanellope. With Vanellope heartbroken, she runs off, leaving Ralph to return home with both his medals at hand.

In Niceland, Ralph realizes the trouble his efforts to obtain the Medal of Heroes has caused and discards it. He then pensively looks to Vanellope's medal and clutches it, just before making a shocking discovery about his friend's backstory.

Towards the end of the movie, when Ralph sacrifices himself to save Vanellope from the Cy-Bugs, he plummets towards Diet Cola Mountain and recites the Bad Guy Affirmation. In during which, he clutches onto the medal as a final gesture just before being rescued by Vanellope.

Following the events of the film, it is shown that Ralph continues to wear the medal and cherishes it deeply as a symbol of his friendship with Vanellope.
