Vaggie is a fictional character created by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano who appears in the musical adult animated series Hazbin Hotel, primarily voiced by Stephanie Beatriz.[3] She helps Charlie Morningstar, her girlfriend and the princess of Hell, run a hotel known as the Hazbin Hotel, where they hope to redeem the souls of those in Hell and help them earn a place in Heaven.[4]

The character has been received positively, garnering particular attention for the development of her relationship with Charlie, her true motivations during the first season, and for Beatriz's singing performances.[5][6][7][8][9]

Development[edit]

Origins and concept[edit]

Vaggie was originally a character in the webcomic series ZooPhobia, created by Medrano during her time at School of Visual Arts in New York City.[10] She would have been featured in the unreleased "Angels and Demons" arc as "Vaggie Motha", a black moth demon, who was dating Angel Dust. Medrano described the characters as "Janis and Damien from Mean Girls" in personality,[11] with different backstories than their Hazbin Hotel iterations. She first appeared in 2013 in concept art,[12] before being redesigned and given a new backstory in 2016,[13][14] including being changed to being in a relationship with Charlie. Their dynamic was inspired by Sally and Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.[15]

Voice and characterization[edit]

Stephanie Beatriz voices Vaggie.

In the 2019 pilot of Hazbin Hotel, Mónica Franco voiced Vaggie, having been cast four years prior.[16][17] In the 2024 series, Franco was replaced by Stephanie Beatriz, an actress best known for her lead musical role in Encanto,[3] whose performance was described as "tough but [with] a heart of gold".[18] On Vaggie's characterization and story arc throughout the first season of Hazbin Hotel, Beatriz stated:

"Vaggie [is] deeply in love and in this relationship, she's… like so many of us when we're in love, we want to protect the person that we love, and she just so happens to be a badass. I have a little bit of a history of playing a badass. Vaggie's smart. She's got a very intense temper, and she's got amazing fighting skills, and she's absolutely committed to Charlie. Whatever Charlie's goal is, whatever Charlie's dreams are, Vaggie's gonna make them happen. But she also has to balance her own worldview with that of Charlie. Charlie's looking at the world through really rose-colored glasses, and Vaggie's there to help that balance. When I think about the character structure, that's when I start making choices about how she sounds. What does Vaggie sound like when she's with the people that she cares about? And what does she sound like when she's alone? When she's struggling with whatever she's going through?"[19]

Fictional character biography[edit]

Hazbin Hotel[edit]

"That's Entertainment" (2019)[edit]

Vaggie made her first full appearance in "That's Entertainment", the Hazbin Hotel pilot episode, which released October 28, 2019. The events of the episode take place after the events of "Dirty Healings". Supportive of her girlfriend Charlie's pitch for the "Happy Hotel", Vaggie assists Charlie in a news broadcast about their plan. She later berates Angel Dust for engaging in a turf war. Later, after Alastor "the Radio Demon" arrives at the hotel, Vaggie voices her displeasure at his insistence upon helping them.

"Dirty Healings" (2019–2020)[edit]

Vaggie returned in a supporting role in "Chapter 1: Dirty Healings", an official prequel webcomic published from October 27, 2019 to July 7, 2020.[lower-alpha 1] The webcomic explores how Vaggie and Charlie recruited Angel Dust as the first patron of their hotel, Vaggie having been reluctant to take him in as a guest.[20]

Season One (2024)[edit]

Main article: Hazbin Hotel § Season 1 (2024)

In "Overture", Vaggie records a new commercial for the Hazbin Hotel with Alastor and the staff and patrons, while Charlie attends a meeting at the Heaven embassy with Adam and Lute ("Happy Day in Hell"). In "Radio Killed the Video Star", her violent side is shown, when she attempts to execute Sir Pentious both on his initial entrance to the hotel and on his allegiance to Vox being exposed. In "Scrambled Eggs", she helps Charlie hold trust exercises and other activities in the hotel, much to the other patrons' annoyance, before throwing the patrons into battle in Hell "like she was taught", before worrying that she is not being supportive enough to Charlie.[21] In "Masquerade", Vaggie reminds Charlie of her authority as Princess of Hell while advising her on how to approach Angel Dust about his work, before advising Husk to go look after him after Angel Dust goes out to get drunk. In "Dad Beat Dad", Vaggie gets the hotel ready for Charlie's father Lucifer's arrival and is left nervous when, after Lucifer agrees to schedule Charlie a meeting in Heaven, Charlie tells Vaggie she will be bringing her with her.

In "Welcome to Heaven", after going to Heaven with Charlie for her meeting, Vaggie is revealed to be a fallen angel, created and named by Adam as a member of his army of Exorcists who partook in the annual Extermination of sinners from Hell. She one day had a change of heart and spared a sinner child, leading Adam's lieutenant Lute to cut out her eye and tear off her wings, leaving her behind in Hell, where Charlie, mistaking her for an injured sinner, began to care for her, eventually leading to a romance between them. On recognizing Vaggie, Adam asks that she support his and Lute's position in the upcoming meeting, lest they reveal to her girlfriend her true identity. While Vaggie avoids speaking during the meeting in line with this, her secret is exposed anyway. Left heartbroken, Charlie is sent back to Hell with Vaggie, to await the next Extermination in one month, with Adam promising the hotel will be targeted first.[22]

In "Hello Rosie!", while Vaggie explains her status as a former angel to the patrons and staff, Alastor goes to Charlie's room and convinces her to make a deal with him, where he tells her Carmilla Carmine knows how to kill angels. Vaggie reluctantly agrees to go along with this plan, and visits Carmilla, while Alastor brings Charlie to see his friend Rosie in Cannibal Town. Rosie, in addition to providing Charlie with her townspeople as fighters, helps Charlie forgive Vaggie for lying to her. Meanwhile, Vaggie confronts Carmilla in combat and learns that the angelic weapons angels use against demons can also be used against other angels. Sparring with Carmilla ("Out For Love"), Vaggie regrows her wings on attaining a renewed sense of purpose and reunites with Charlie at the hotel.[23] In "The Show Must Go On", the day before the Extermination, as they reinforce the hotel, Charlie shares with Vaggie her worries that she has led everyone to their deaths, though Vaggie convinces her to believe in herself ("More Than Anything"). The next day, the Extermination arrives, Adam offers an award for Vaggie's head to his army, and an all-out war between the angels and sinners ensues. Vaggie fights Lute, whom she eventually defeats. After Lucifer arrives to help Charlie and overpower Adam, Vaggie is left gleeful when the injured Adam is suddenly killed by Niffty. As the angels retreat, Vaggie, Charlie, and the others rebuild the hotel to a greater state than before ("Finale").[24][25]

Other appearances[edit]

Vaggie's first animated appearance was a cameo in the music video for "Inside of Every Demon Is a Rainbow", released on October 6, 2018, one year prior to the release of the pilot.[26] From 2019 to 2023, Franco would reprise her role as Vaggie in a series of skits in HuniCast, a live podcast series co-hosted by Angel Dust's pilot voice actor, Michael Kovach, and Hazbin Hotel pilot animator Ashley Nichols, which often featured the cast and crew of Hazbin Hotel and SpindleHorse Toons as guests.[27] From 2020 to 2021, Vaggie appeared in a series of augmented reality "Voxtagram" posts published to Instagram by SpindleHorse Toons, depicting her as running the hotel's social media account with Charlie.[28] In 2024, she made a silent cameo appearance in the music video for "Thank You and Goodnight".[29]

Reception[edit]

Screen Rant described Vaggie as "the backbone" and "best character" of Hazbin Hotel, calling her a "realistic and shrewder" character, and her and Charlie "a classic grumpy/happy duo", noting her day-to-day "interactions with the hotel’s staff and residents [as] always hilarious because she doesn't put up with anyone's nonsense",[5] Comic Book Resources lauding them as "the perfect power couple".[30] Decider complimented Vaggie's depiction as "a total simp" and her "sentimental and fluffy" moments with Charlie,[6] while The A.V. Club described her as "com[ing] off as a carbon copy of Lake Bell’s deadpan Poison Ivy in Harley Quinn".[7] AutoStraddle praised Vaggie and Charlie's relationship as "the devilish heart" of the series, which "had its bumps and bruises throughout the season [without] a big breakup blowout or cheating [with] so many cute little moments [leading to the] last two episodes, where fixing their relationship is almost as important to Charlie as figuring out how to stop the extermination", concluding by lauding the series' "cute little couple-y moments that made [them] squeal with joy,"[31] and noting Vaggie's "pessimist[ic] surly demeanor".[32] Telltale TV described the relationship as "your stereotypical 'opposites attract' pairing [with] a lot of unexplored depth", complimenting Beatriz's singing voice, while noting it as "somewhat jarring compared to her speaking voice [though] nailing the vocal intricacies of her predecessor Mónica Franco".[8] The Illuminerdi called Beatriz "a perfect fit" for the role.[9]

Merchandise[edit]

Since 2018, official clothing and merchandise based around Vaggie and the cast of Hazbin Hotel designed by Medrano have been available intermittently from Shark Robot LLC.[33][34]
