Cheryl Bretz

Cheryl Bretz is an original character created by BretzFilledCherryPie on DeviantART.
== Summary ==
Cherry is a 10 year old girl with an obsession with Eric Cartman. She suffers from many mental issues such as Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Dependent Personality Disorder. She has a severe mistrust of most of the other students, only having her faith in the one person she shouldn't have any in.
Despite not actually liking them, she hangs out with the other girls as she is expected to.
== Background ==
Cherry's mom committed suicide around a year after she was born. The reason being that Devin finally got fed up with Jasmine's emotional instability and divorced her. Cherry grew up being raised by a single dad burdened by a huge trauma. Despite this, she seemed to carry a normal life up until kindergarten when a man her dad had let stay in their house molested her. This was when her life turned around for the worst. She isolated herself from her friends and father for weeks. Her behavior towards others changed drastically and she became more possessive over her friends. If they would so much as forget to say hi to her, she would become paranoid over them wanting nothing to do with her anymore.
A pattern of gaining and then driving away friends continued for years. During that time, she alternated between blaming herself for her failed friendships and hating those around her. Eventually she convinced herself that the world had abandoned her and once again went into a period of isolation. 
Her dad finally made the decision to move out of their hometown to bring Cherry to a more laid back environment hoping to see a change in her.
That's when she met Eric Cartman. She felt his hateful behavior towards everyone, including his friends, was the same as her resentment towards everyone around her. That's when she came to the conclusion that he was her soul mate and her obsession began.
== Personality ==
Cherry masks her true feelings with the facade of a cheerful, friendly girl. She's nice to everyone but there are few people that she actually likes. She feels she has her own little circle and that if you're not in it, she has no reason to care about you. There are only two people she actually likes: Cartman and her dad. There is very little chance of her letting anybody else into her circle.
Cherry has a very dependent personality and lacks a stable self image. She has aimed that dependent personality right at Cartman and nods to every ridiculous thing he says. She can't stand on her own as an independent person and needs somebody who's views she can copy. She's so insecure in herself that she ends up mirroring the body language of others' to pull herself through conversations.
She's also very emotionally unstable and can swing from being happy to going into a rage within seconds. There is no in between cheerful, depressed, and beyond angry for her. She feels emotions at their full intensity. When angry, she acts impulsively and doesn't consider the consequences of her actions. Because of this, she sometimes gets into arguments with other students. When she's like that, she feels as if she has left her body and has no control over what she does. She often questions why she takes things so far.
Even so, Cherry is also very passionate about her goals and does not give up easily. She's very loyal to those she has come to care about and is determined to stay by their side and protect them. 
Despite her horrible actions, she does have a heart but it's covered in an icy layer called lack of being able to trust and only seeing the worst in people to protect herself. She obviously does not want to accept being alone despite that. 
She can be very clever when she's calm, showing great tactician skills.
== Delusions ==
Cherry experiences delusion regularly. Her most significant delusion is known as erotomania. She honestly believes Cartman is in love with her and that they're dating but he doesn't like being affectionate in public. She justifies her stalking behavior with that delusion because to her, she's just doing what a normal girlfriend would do. She even falsely remembers Cartman giving her the key to his house when the truth is that she stole it.
If she murders somebody, she is incapable of coping with the guilt she experiences afterwards. So she doesn't. She completely removes the memory of her committing such acts from her mind and thinks the person she killed just went missing or moved.
== Facade ==
Cherry presents herself to others as a cheerful person on top of the world. Though going by this profile it probably doesn't seem that way since here I would like to talk about who she truly is rather than she pretends to be. Anyway, I feel like that outer shell deserves some mention. Her pretending to be happy takes her mind off of what's really going on in her life so she forces that facade to the point she seems even too happy. However, her emotionally instability often finds a way of breaking through that shell into who she really is.
== Murderer ==
If she does kill somebody she probably did it for Cartman. To her, any worth her life has depends on her precious emotional crutch, Cartman. If someone gets between them, she thinks they're out to get her and is overcome with a powerful hatred directed at that person. She is plagued with voices in her head repeatedly telling her to kill that person. She is eventually unable to deal with all of that fear and hate and commits murder. She still feels guilty when it's all over though and as mentioned before, she completely forgets what happened.
== Hobbies/Interests ==
Cherry enjoys cheating people in card games. She doesn't play for money or other items, she's just curious to see if she'll get caught. She spends most of the time playing trying to think of tactics she could use that would put her ahead without getting caught. She's pretty good at getting away with it.
She writes a journal recording her everyday life and accomplishments. After meeting Cartman, it's become very orientated towards him.
== Relationships ==
=== Romance ===
====Eric Cartman====
Cherry is obsessed with Cartman. She made a duplicate of his house key, frequently breaks in with it, cleans his room for him and leaves gifts such as cookies. She fails to realize the error of her ways because of her belief that they're actually in a close relationship. Her obsession for him is caused by him being the first person she could relate to in a while. She came to the conclusion that he resents everyone just like she does and is outcasted....which actually isn't that far from the truth. Anyway....Cherry is under the belief that she and him were brought together for those reasons and are therefor soul mates. She's completely unaware that he has not reached the same conclusion as she has. Her obsession is very irrational but shows how desperate she is to find where she belongs so she doesn't feel left out by the world.
Cherry is not truly in love with Cartman, she's just using him as an emotional crutch. Somebody coming between them is pulling that crutch from under her which causes her to react very violently. Her cleaning his room and leaving gifts is her way of making herself feel secure about him needing her.
Cartman shows no romantic interest in her at all. Even when he's come to realize all the anonymous love letters are from one person, he sees it as the chance to brag that he's got a girl head over heels in love with him to his friends. He doesn't accept Cherry as a romantic interest but he does care for her as a friend. He respects her because of her tactician skills and though he would never admit it, sees her as a very useful ally.
=== Family ===
==== Devin Bretz ====
Devin makes committing reckless stunts and humiliating himself a habit while committing to his heroic alter ego. This is due to him handling his life's hardships in a very unique way. He blames himself for his wife's suicide and Cherry's troubles. He dresses up and tries to act like a hero to repent for the wrong doings he feels he has done. When he gets into trouble, Cherry bails him out with the "He doesn't have any friends," plea.
Him feeling the need to help others caused him to leave her with a homeless man he took in for the night out of pity which led to the sexual abuse. He is responsible for causing her to snap. He never really took part in her life as a father figure. Even now, he fails at doing so. Despite that, Cherry doesn't hate him.
=== Classmates ===
==== Kyle Broflovski ====
Her relationship with Kyle isn't a healthy one. He showed the most protest toward Cherry's behavior after finding out she had been breaking into Cartman's house. He repeatedly told Cartman to confront her about this and even went with Stan and Kenny to report her to th
e police. Cherry, however, wasn't aware of this.
He later becomes more capable of tolerating her but still makes comments on her obsessive behavior every now and then.
==== Stanley "Stan" Marsh ====
Stan didn't express as much concern as Kyle but he was clearly put off by Cherry's stalking, agreeing with the things Kyle had to say on her. Stan preferred to not get too involved with the situation but agreed to go with Kyle and Kenny to the police. Stan tried to let go of it afterwards, telling Cartman he should just ignore her instead of confronting her.
Unlike Kyle, him and Cherry are capable of getting along to an extent.
==== Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick ====
Kenny never really voiced his opinion on Cherry. He followed Stan and Kyle regardless but never seemed to mind her that much.
Because of both of them normally siding with Cartman on things, with Kenny being his best friend ( along with Butters ) and Cherry listening to anything he says, the two have gotten to communicate a lot. They get along, even acting friendly towards each other.
==== Wendy Testaburger ====
Wendy was one of the first students she met at South Park elementary and she was the one that showed her around the school, taking making her feel welcome as her responsibility as student council president. Cherry often tags along with Wendy's group but it's more because the girls naturally stick together rather than considering Wendy and the others as friends. She does respect Wendy's leadership skills though.
=== Overall Relationship with Peers ===
She resents almost everyone but pretends to like them. Her happy attitude puts her at a decent social standing. She sometimes can't control her anger though and lashes out at someone but they pass off her behavior as PMS.
=== Others ===
==== Liane Cartman ====
Cherry frequently talks to Liane during her break ins. Liane doesn't see Cherry's behavior as suspicious and is under the belief that Cherry is really Cartman's girlfriend.
