{{Nihongo|'''Vanilla Muscat'''|バニラ・マスカット|Banira Masukatto}} is one of the main protagonists in ''[[Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2]]''. She is the daughter of the president of [[Gasco]],  [[Shayne Muscat]], and the younger sister of [[Cannelle Muscat]]. She gives access to [[Malt Marzipan]] and his friends to the captured [[Berman Empire|Berman]] supertank [[Tarascus]] to pursue the [[Taranis]] on its rampage across [[Pharaoh]] after kidnapping half of their friends. Despite the warnings from Malt, she sneaks on board with them and joins the crew in their chase for the rogue tank.

== Physical Appearance ==
Vanilla Muscat is a slender girl with wavy white blonde hair. She has grey fur and a long thin tail, with intense light blue eyes of a characteristic positive canthal tilt. She has bangs swept to the side, and two medium sidelocks. Her hair is tailbone length, and tied into two braids past her shoulders. She has a small [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga ahoge] on the opposite side of her bangs.

In ''Fuga 2'' Vanilla is wearing a red jacket with white ornamentation and frilled cuffs, a white and gold belt around her waist, high waisted light brown pants, brown boots and pale orange gloves, as well as golden earring pendants. She wears an indigo [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cravat_(early) cravat] with a green gemstone as an ornament. In some illustrations, she is shown to be wearing a white button-up shirt underneath. Her breed of [[Felineko]] is Russian Blue.

In ''Fuga 3'' she's seen in a transmission screen wearing a black suit with a red scarf. She is also sporting a small black [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_cap garrison cap] with red highlights.

== Personality ==
Vanilla is a determined and brave young girl with a stubborn yet self aware personality. She has great care for image and manners, although she can be hotheaded and rebellious. She is smart but somewhat naive, with a wide array of talents that range from cooking, reading, writing, and even dancing ballet. She was educated this way by her esteemed late tutor [[Cayenne Riesling]], with whom she used to have a very close bond. 

She admires her father greatly and strives to live up to his legacy. Even at a young age, she takes an interest in politics, aspiring to one day lead the country as its president, just as he did. Her admiration for leadership also extends to the legendary [[Malt Marzipan|''"the Hero of Gasco"'']] whom she idolizes—until she finally meets him and is disappointed to find that he is, in her words, a ''"painfully normal boy."''

Despite her outward confidence, Cayenne described Vanilla a deeply insecure and overly emotional young girl in his journal. A mess struggling to meet the expectations set by her father and older sister. This perceived weakness led to her strict upbringing and extensive skillset, serving as a means to compensate for her emotional instability.

Vanilla's distrust in others and her relentless desire to honor her father's legacy have been her downfall in many instances, leading to multiple sacrifices willingly made in the name of retribution. This is why, despite the initial friction between the two, she eventually forms a close bond with Malt, bonding over their grief. They both find solace in their understanding and company, sharing a strong sense of justice and a thirst for revenge against the ones responsible for their losses, leading to Vanilla coming to respect him as an unconventional leader, be it for his resolve or his compassion.

== History ==
==== Early life ====

=== ''Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2'' ===


==== After the Vanargand's destruction ====
Canonically, Vanilla and her friends succeed in defeating Cayenne and his reawakened [[Vanargand]], earning recognition as heroes. She later visits [[Petite Mona]] to participate in the race Malt had challenged [[Jihl]] to, and despite her claims of being a poor runner, she is seen happily running alongside the shepherd.

In the credits illustrations, Vanilla appears in a black mourning gown alongside her sister, Cannelle, as they visit their parents' graves, bringing white flowers in remembrance.

According to promotional materials for ''Fuga 3'', Vanilla appears to aid the main characters on their journey into the [[Berman Empire]] and their confrontation with the [[Crimson Knights]]. While she seems to play a supporting role, it remains unclear whether she will be a playable character.
