Berrykin

Berrykins are small sprite-like beings in the Strawberry Shortcake series. They made their debut appearance in Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins in the 1980s series. The 2009 revival, Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, also features them, though as hardworking people.
==Appearance==
In the 2003 series, each specimen resembled a barefoot baby who wears a onesie modelled after the fruit of their theme. They are barefoot. Their Berry Bitty design portrays them with heads that resemble strawberries and wearing green bodysuits.
==History==
===1980s series===
In Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins, Strawberry Shortcake and her friends collect some fruits for one of their parties. After she wonders what style would best suit her, Strawberry Shortcake spots the strawberry that she picked, waiting on the doorstep to the house she lives in. She shows the strawberry to her friends, who also encountered the strange phaenomenon. At that moment, the Berry Princess comes down to reveal that those fruits are really disguises that small creatures called "Berrykins" wear, and they reveal their true forms as the princess names each one. Later, Sour Grapes kidnaps them to make give her perfume a sweet scent. Fortunately, she didn't count on the fact that one of them evaded capture and now he and Strawberry Shortcake are storming the palace. The creature saves his fellow Berrykins with his rescue attempt ending in the Peculiar Purple Pieman and Sour Grapes being drenched in smells that neither one of them likes. Having been reunited with the Strawberrylanders, the Berrykins are put in the Strawberrylanders' care.
===2009 series===
Berrykins are featured predominantly, with their new ruler being Princess Berrykin. They have a new design which gives them a strawberry for a head and a humanoid body and a green body. Their powers are largely unchanged, although this time, they use magic to give off sweet scents.

==Trivia==
*The Berrykins seem to have earned their name from the terms munchkin (which can refer to a mischievous child) and berries, referring to the series' theme.
**The Berrykins' name is used for the Munchkin race in Berry Brick Road, a two-part episode that spoofs The Wizard of Oz.
