Vanilleam

Vanilleam is the family ship between Vanilla and Cream from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Canon
In every canon where Vanilla appears, she is Cream's mother.

Games
Cream and Vanilla both make their first appearance in Sonic Advance 2, where they are kidnapped by Dr. Eggman along with Cream's pet Chao Cheese. After Cream and Cheese are rescued by Sonic, they team up with Sonic in order to find Vanilla, who is still in trouble. They eventually manage to find her in Leaf Forest after Eggman's defeat.

In Sonic Advance 3, the two go on a beach, where they find a damaged G-merl. After G-merl is reprogrammed by Tails to be friendly, Vanilla and Cream take the robot to their cottage to live a happy life.

In Sonic Rush, Cream brings Blaze the Cat to her home and introduces the cat to Vanilla. Vanilla convinces Blaze to stay at her home for tea, and Blaze explains her mission to the rabbits. Vanilla advises Blaze to ask Sonic for help, and lets Cream go along with Blaze on her journey.

Cream also mentions her mother in Sonic Free Riders and the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, but Vanilla does not appear in these games.

Sonic X
In "Defective Detectives", Vanilla appears at the end of the episode together with Sonic at the Thorndyke mansion. Vanilla greets Vector at the door, while Sonic calls Cream to her. Vanilla reunites with her daughter, both with tears of joy.

In "Cosmic Crisis", Cream asks her mother if it is all right to go out to space with Sonic, his friends, and Cosmo. Vanilla agrees and Cream gives her hug, who mentally says goodbye. When boxes appear out of nowhere near the Master Emerald shrine, Vanilla asks the Chaotix to bring them to the Blue Typhoon and check on her daughter. After a misunderstanding, Charmy took a picture of Cream and the photograph was faxed to the mother's home. It can be implied that mother and daughter were reunited again before the events of "So Long Sonic".

Fanon
This pairing is very popular, though overshadowed by shipping pairs like Cream with Tails and Vanilla with Vector. Fans usually include Cheese and sometimes Chocola into the family.

In AO3, there are currently three family works and five femslash works as of January 2021.

 * The ship name was probably coined by DeviantArtist Toad900, who described the femslash pair as "so much wrong".
