Lemon Meringue (Berry in the Big City)

The Mechanic is a character from Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. Quite ironically for her profession and name, the character serves as a "counterpart" to the Lemon Meringues from older generations. She is a friend of Lime Chiffon who typically accompanies her and has a pet frog named Frappé who helps her out. She first has a prominent role in "Lemon's Explosive Oven".
==Character==
===Personality ===
Even though she is their counterpart, the Mechanic has a vastly different personality from what the the Lemon Meringues from older generations have had. She has an expertise with machines that makes her a valuable asset to other Berries. She also has a crazy side that pops up every now and then, with actions ranging from eating a cupcake that was sprinkled with cat food (much to Lime's dismay and disgust) to putting on a fake evil grin whenever she comes up with a new idea.
Despite these flaws, the Mechanic is a trusted friend who really comes through for her friends.
===Appearance===
The Mechanic has pale green eyes, a platinum blonde middle parted bob cut, wears overalls with a lemon emblem on them, goggles, and a green raglan tee. Her winter gear consists of a green jacket over yellow snow trousers and yellow boots.

==Trivia==
*Many fans were irate when this character popped up, considering her counterparts from previous generations were feminine fashionistas and she herself is a tomboy mechanic along the lines of Lana Loud from The Loud House. It doesn't help that the first episode where she has a prominent role in, Lemon's Explosive Oven, calls the character "Lemon". Fortunately, she didn't tank her show's popularity too much.
*She is the first "Lemon" in the series to be a tomboy, and thus the fifth butch tomboy to appear at all in the entire series after Peppermint Fizz from the classic 2003 series, Sour Grapes (Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures) from Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, and Orange Blossom (Berry in the Big City) from Strawberry Shortcake: Berry and the Big City . (It is not known if the Lemon Meringue from the cancelled 2017 series would have been a tomboy or a girly girl.)
*She is the fourth Mechanic in the series to appear (on-screen). T. N. Honey is the first, featured in the 1980s. Ginger Snap and Banana Candy are the second and third, respectively. (The Berry Bitty series has no Mechanics.)
