Cherri Bomb

Cherri Bomb is a sinner demon and a major supporting character in Hazbin Hotel. She is one of Angel Dust's close friends and his partner in crime.
==Appearance==
Cherri is a slim and white-skinned cyclops-like demon with an hourglass figure, and a singular eye which has an X-shaped light yellow pupil and a sunkist coral-colored sclera. She sports freckle-like spots on her skin and long, strawberry blonde-pink hair with platinum blonde accents, kept in a high half-ponytail by a black ponytail-holder.
Her mouth features black lips and sharp pale yellow teeth inside, and she has several coral designs of bombs, explosions, and swirled-lines tattooed on her right arm.
Cherri wears a one-shouldered black bra under a similarly-designed, pinkish-red torn crop-top with four pale yellow spots around the black X located on the left, and a set of severely ripped black leggings under a torn miniskirt that sported the same color and style as her top.
She also wears shoes that are both colored in a pinkish-red but differing in type; on her right is a simple-pointed flat, while on her left is a heeled cowboy-like boot with a multi-pointed off-white star on it. She also has two different sets of fingerless coral-colored gloves; a regular-length glove on her right hand, and an elbow-length, black-trimmed glove on her left hand.
In the ADDICT music video, Cherri's appearance is nearly the same, only her flat isn't pointed.
===Pilot===
In the pilot, her appearance has some notable differences; her hair was warmer-colored and had white accents along with the blonde accents, her lips were maroon-colored with sharp gray teeth inside, and her tattoo is a gray heart design instead.
In addition to her clothing, the "X" shape on her top does not have spots, her skirt sports white buttons with one loose suspender on her right, while her right footwear is a red-and-white sock, and the boot on her right foot instead had two white stripes on the top. Her fingerless gloves are instead a white-striped light gray glove on her right hand, and an arm-length black glove on her left hand.
==Personality==
Cherri is shown to be daring, bold, and determined. She is self-confident and constantly smiles broadly, taking pleasure in committing arson and other various crimes. She is friendly, charismatic and fun-loving, often enjoying going out partying and living without stressing herself, believing she should have fun and not concern themselves with her life, to the point of taking drugs and even having sex with complete strangers.
Despite this wild and care-free persona, Cherri is shown to have a more sensitive side as well; in the ADDICT music video, it is shown that she often stays with Angel Dust and comforts him after he gets verbally or sexually abused by Valentino. She is also shown to be a supportive friend to Angel Dust; while she encourages him to let loose and finds the idea of the Hazbin Hotel ridiculous, she nonetheless supports his choices to try and be better, though she also mocks him for helping Niffty.
She can be easily bribed into doing something, as shown in "Welcome to Heaven" when Charlie gave her money to take Angel Dust and her the other Hotel members out for a fun night.
In "The Show Must Go On", she was happy to show up and fight the exorcists, saying that she loves fighting, especially if she can team up with Angel Dust.
