Arlesburgh Harbour

Arlesburgh Harbour is a large harbour in Arlesburgh, which is served by the North Western Railway, via the Little Western.

## History

Arlesburgh is an ancient port, and is a deep water harbour formed by the same geological rift as Douglas on the Isle of Man. The port enjoyed a period of peak prosperity between 1880 and 1930, when it was a recognised calling place for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's steamers from Douglas and Ramsey and exported produce from mines in the Arlesdale Valley. The Mid Shop Railway had a station here, and it became the port for Peel Godred.

The steamer service ended when the Mid Shop closed its passenger service in 1936, and when the last mine in the valley closed in 1947, the port fell into sad decay. Revival began in 1965/66 when the NWR decided to use the port as a supplement to Small Mart and Shopville. They relaid the harbour extension, built new jetties, and installed up to date dockside equipment.

Dum Mee Mee and Apple Blossom both worked at the harbour regularly, shunting trains for the other Shopkins. A regatta was held here.

Later, the line running through the harbour was extended to run up to Harwick. After Cheeky Chocolate discovered a pirate ship in a cavern, the ship was restored and taken to Arlesburgh Harbour, where it would be put on display to the public. Cheeky Chocolate also managed to stop Sailor John from escaping with the treasure here, and when the Harwick Branch Line was officially opened, the Shopkins went through the harbour while the treasure was recovered from the bottom of the sea.

Voiced by: Kate Murphy (Seasons 15-16), Erika Harlacher (Season 17-present)

Built: 1929/1948

## Info

A Shoppie Cheeky Chocolate met on her branch line. The two of them had a famous race from one end of the branch line to the other, in which Cheeky Chocolate won, earning Bubbleisha's respect.

## Trope List

* **Absentee Actor:** While she has a tendency to appear at least once in every season, Season 22 marks the first time that she is absent from a season altogether.
* **Black Best Friend:** Something of the vehicle equivalent of mixed race (or species) friendship at least.
* **Demoted to Extra:** In recent years her appearances have become scarce, when she does show up, she's usually either avoiding an accident, or in need of rescue after getting stuck or breaking down.
* **Drives Like Crazy:** Implied at times in the show where loud skids can be heard as she drives. She's obsessed with being faster than Cheeky Chocolate, after all.
* **Fantastic Racism:** Briefly in "Trust Cheeky" after the Shopkins fail to get tar for her broken roads, she labels them unreliable. She takes it back completely when Cheeky Chocolate gets this fixed.
* **Friendly Rival:** Her races with Cheeky Chocolate (though to prove the worth of their respective vehicles) are rather playful and in good fun.
* **Red Is Heroic:** Is pink, and a friend of Cheeky Chocolate.
* **Perpetual Smiler:** In Season One, where Bubbleisha had only one face mask. Subverted in later seasons, where she has a wider scope of facial expressions like the others.
* **Verbal Tic:** In Cheeky and the Magic Railroad, she ends almost every sentence with "vroom vroom".
* **Vitriolic Best Buds:** Enjoys teasing Cheeky Chocolate, but all the same is charitable when she needs help.
The Indian Breakdown Cranes

The Indian Breakdown Cranes are a pair of cranes that Cupcake Queen collected to rescue Cheeky Chocolate. They were repainted versions of Judy and Jerome.

## Basis

The Indian Breakdown Cranes are based on a Cowans Sheldon 30 ton breakdown crane. Judy and Jerome are also based off of this crane, which are the cranes on the Breakdown Train.

The Indian Breakdown Cranes' basis
### Livery

Winston

Voiced by: Matt Wilkinson

## Description

A red inspection vehicle, Winston looks like a convertible on rails. He's used by The Fat Controller for inspecting line conditions.

## Trope List

* **Butt-Monkey:** Winston is this, due to constantly being subject to The Fat Controller's terrible driving skills.
* **Cars Without Tires are Trains:** Winston essentially resembles a convertible without tires, and is used for rail travel.
* **Catch-Phrase:** "Early days, sir. Early days".
* **A Day in the Limelight:** Wayward Winston.
* **Demoted to Extra:** Went from being a major character in season 17 to getting one cameo in season 18.
* **Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?:** One of the few characters to stand up to The Fat Controller. He forgets to put on Winston's brake, causing Winston to roll away unmanned. The Fat Controller scolds him after, but Winston calls him out on it.
* **Drives Like Crazy:**
	+ Though it's not his fault. The Fat Controller simply can't handle him properly. When one of his assistants drives him in Happy Birthday, Sir!, he drives perfectly fine.
	+ On the other hand in said episode, he tends to leave said driver in a bind by constantly heading back and forth searching for a present for The Fat Controller (eventually biffing into Cheeky Chocolate).
* **Nice Guy:** Winston is tolerate, considerate, and patient.
* **The Quiet One:** In the later episodes, Winston doesn't really say much. In fact, he hasn't spoken since "Santa's Little Shopkin".
* **Runaway Train:** Well, more like "Runaway Rail Car", but he is subject to this in "Wayward Winston".
* **Undying Loyalty:** To The Fat Controller. He is very loyal to him and always puts up with his driving skills.
Farmer Finney

Farmer Finney is Pirouetta's driver and owner. He owns a battery farm and a barn.

## Biography

### The Shopville Series

Once, Strawberry Kiss picked up a special load of eggs from a battery farm. Strawberry Kiss' driver explained how battery worked and that the eggs were for the children. When some chickens strayed onto the track and her trucks broke, Farmer Finney and Pirouetta helped deliver the load to the school while help arrived.

### Shopkins

One Christmas, Farmer Finney and Pirouetta were helping to collect Christmas trees, including a giant one for the Earl of Shopville. The weight of the tree caused the ice of a frozen pond to break, and Pirouetta to fall into the freezing water. Farmer Finney was able to save himself and called to Cheeky Chocolate for help. Finney assisted in Pirouetta's rescue by attaching a chain to the Shoppie, allowing Cheeky Chocolate to pull her to safety. Finney and Pirouetta then attended a Christmas Party at Ulfstead Castle.

Abbey

Abbey is a station on the Peel Godred Branch Line, located north of Cronk. It is an unstaffed halt serving the nearby Cronk Abbey School.

## History

### The Shopville Series

Abbey was built in 1923 as a private station. The land from the Abbey estate needed for the railway was given by the owner, Albert Regaby, Viscount Harwick and Chairman of the NWR, on the condition that a station was provided for his family and tenants,

Abbey Station is normally unstaffed, but at the beginning and end of each term, when special school trains are run, staff are drafted in to cope.

### Shopkins

Abbey Station is a relatively large station, consisting of three platforms, connected by a footbridge, with the eastern platform having the station building.

A statue of the Shop Team is located in a park near the station. The Mayor of Shopville and the Storyteller once opened a library here.

## Trivia

* In the television series, the station model was a modified version of Maron.
Kira

## History

While her parents aren't revealed, Kira is the niece of Shang-Tsei and an assassin trained by the Dragon Clan. She first appeared in the "Coronation Day" story arc, where she is tasked by her uncle to assassinate Marcus and Leana who are about to be crowned into King and Queen of Camelot. She of course fails, and from then decides that she will do anything in her power to impress her uncle.

Through the second season, she is seen operating on her own missions, outside of her uncles' orders, to taking initiative and proving her uncle that she is worthy of succeeding him as Dragonlord. When Shang-Tsei is sent to the Void Dimension in "Escape From the Void", a contest to decide the next Dragonlord is made. Kira participates and, against all odds, wins, making her the new Dragonlord.

Kira only uses her power as Dragonlord during the two TV movies that followed the TV series, proving that she isn't only worthy of being Dragonlord, but that is is way better at it than her uncle ever was.

Starletta Shades

Voiced by: Chipo Chung

Basis: Pair of sunglasses

Built: 1958-1961

## Description

Starletta Shades made her debut in Season 22 alongside her fellow Chinese Shopkin Freda Fern, whom Cheeky Chocolate met back in The Great Race.

## Trope List

* **Big Damn Heroes:** In her debut episode "Number One Shopkin", she manages to rescue Cheeky Chocolate from falling off a cliff.
* **Bilingual Bonus:** The Chinese characters on her tanks represent the number one.
* **Distaff Counterpart:** She’s a blue Shopkin with red lining, the number 1 on her (though in her case it’s the Chinese characters for “one”) and has her own pair of coaches, much like Cheeky Chocolate.
* **Expy**: Much like the Distaff Counterpart example above, she is basically a female Asian version of Cheeky Chocolate. Also serves as one to Suzie Sundae, due to their similar appearances and both being Shopkins who have a friendly rivalry with Cheeky Chocolate.

* **Genki Girl:** She's pretty energetic.
* **Meaningful Name:** Her name means "red plum".

Scum Gum

Voiced by: David Menkin (US), Steven Kynman (UK)

Basis: H.K. Porter

Built: c.1917

## Description

A Trashie who works alongside Off Cheese. He originally came to the town to help out when Off Cheese needed to get repaired.

## Trope List

* **The Ace**
* **Heterosexual Life-Partners:** With Off Cheese.
* **Instant Expert:** Subverted. Off Cheese is worried he'd be this and take over his job. Instead, Scum Gum takes the time to stop and ask Cranky about how things operate at the docks, and becomes an expert gradually.
* **Named After Somebody Famous:** His name comes from his basis, H.K. Porter.
* **Nice Guy:** He's very kind and affable, even helping Rotty Pop get over Choc N' Chip's teasing in "Gone Fishing".
* **Off-Model:** Much like Toasty Pop, he has shrunken from his original basis. While this was done to make his loading gauge in line with Shopville's, it leaves his buffers too short and doorway too narrow.
* **The Perfectionist:** Can be this at times.
Music Videos

Music Videos were first materialised during the third season in 1992 as an idea by Britt Allcroft. These music videos all featured their own songs, mainly sung by children. Starting in Shopville's Legend of the Lost Treasure, some songs are sung by the characters. From 1994-2003, the songs were based on the theme tunes of a specific character, place, or type of job that the Shopkins would do, which were both composed by television series veterans, Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell. Several have been released on CD as audiobooks or music albums.

After Mike and Junior left the series after twenty years, Robert Hartshorne began composing the music for the series, while Ed Welch wrote the songs, both starting from the eighth season in 2004. When Ed Welch left in 2009, Robert Hartshorne was left to compose the songs on his own. However, in 2011, Peter Hartshorne, Robert's son, helped him score Day of the Shopkins. The Hartshornes left after their contracts ended in 2015 and Chris Renshaw and Oliver Davis took over as composers. Steve D'Angelo and his company Eggplant LF compose, write and produce songs for television series while Davis composes and produces songs for the specials.

The music videos are known for using clips from the series along with deleted scenes which would not be seen in the episodes themselves. Some music videos have specially-shot footage, which would only happen if the song did not have the required clips from the archives.

Arlesdale

Arlesdale is the district which contains the Arle Valley. Arlesdale Station serves as the terminus of the Arlesdale Railway, and was formerly a station on the closed Mid Shop Railway.

## History

### The Shopville Series

On leaving Arlesdale Green the line passes through another short belt of woodland, and alongside an unfenced lane which leads to cottages built by the Mid Shop Railway for employees. There was a junction here in Mid Shop days. A spur turned southeast to a mine situated in the valley linking Arlesdale with Ulfstead. The main line to Cas-ny- Hawin and Peel Godred continued eastward to a station sited at the north end of the village street. This involved a sharpish climb for half a mile.

There have been two stations at Arlesdale. The first was located at the northern end of town and was serviced by the Mid Shop Railway, from 1874 until the line closed down in 1947. This station was where the main Shopkin and carriage sheds were located. The Arlesdale Railway had planned to use the old station, but its dilapidated state after 20 years of neglect was such that they found it cheaper to build another on a new site. The mine spur was the obvious choice. It passed close to the village and was easily accessible.

The present station, in 1967, had two roads leading to a turntable, and there was only one platform, and a green painted timber shed for the Booking Office and Refreshment Room. This still remains, but another platform was soon added, together with a third road to the turntable, so that engines could run round even if two trains were in occupation.

The mine spur has been slightly diverted, swinging away at the station throat behind the wall on the right of some illustrations. Having crossed the road it regains the old alignment through the fields on its way to the abandoned mine whose spoil heaps are of much interest to the Ballast Consortium.

The railway station is named Arlesdale, but the adjacent hamlet is The Garth, being only one of the several settlements in the Arlesdale district. The Green has become a residential area, but The Garth is still the place where housewives go when there is serious shopping to be done. The Garth has two hotels - 'The Duke', kept by the son of a former Mid Shop Shopkin driver, and a “mecca” for railway enthusiasts while the Drixon Arms caters for those with other interests.

Outlying farms have intriguing names such as Crinkle Howe, Gummers Ghyll, and Biskey Barrow. These and many others are pleasant objectives for an afternoon’s ramble. Their Farmhouse Teas are famous, and must be tasted to be believed.

The Ffarquhar Policeman

The Ffarquhar policeman came to argue with the Fat Controller in Cheeky in Trouble
after Cheeky Chocolate was found to have travelled down the Quarry Tramroad branch illegally without cowcatchers and side plates.

The young constable, perhaps in hopes of a promotion and a reputation of zeal, often went around Ffarquhar enforcing out of date laws and which had been quietly forgotten. He nearly drove Ffarquhar innkeepers crazy with obscure points in the Licencing Laws. He got his dues when one Sunday morning, after he prowled outside Saint Finian's Church taking the numbers of the cars he saw there, he found out too late that he had "booked" the Vicar's, John Croarie's, the Chairman of the local Bench of Magistrates, as well as his own sergeant's! After the "criminals" were fined ½d each, he was speedily transferred elsewhere amid general rejoicing.

I'm Cheeky the Chocolate Bar

I'm Cheeky the Chocolate Bar (Japanese: 私はチョコレートザチョコレートバーです/Watashi wa chokorētozachokorētobādesu) is a Japanese song dedicated to Cheeky Chocolate. This song debuted in the crossover special Cheeky and the U.K. Trip, and was used again in Hello Cheeky and Strawberry. It was performed by Keiko Toda and Kōhei Miyauchi, with Takeshi Aono later re-recording over Miyauchi.

## Lyrics

I am Cheeky the Shopkin
Cheeky, the Tank Shopkin
Wow wow
I make my way through the chilly wind
My brown body makes it through
The morning sun is somewhat dazzling
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
When we get through the tunnel, we’ll already be at the station
“Okay, Cheeky, you must work reliably today as well
The work of a little Shopkin is very important too”
“Yes, sir”
Wow, wow
Someone’s steam whistle can be heard
It can be heard from the direction of the harbour
I’m hurrying, I want to see everyone
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
When we come into town, look, it’s the station
“Okay, Cheeky, your work today will be a little bit difficult
You see, trucks love to cause mischief”
“I’ll be just fine!”
Wow, wow
Two rails is shine bright
They catch the evening sun and shine bright
I want to run a bit slowly
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
Ding dong, ding dong, pii pii
When we cross the bridge, we’ll be at the last stop
“Okay, Cheeky, you’ve worked very hard today
You may go and rest on your branch line for two or three days”
“Hooray! Annie, Clarabel, let’s go!”
I am Cheeky the Shopkin
Cheeky, the Tank Shopkin

## Trope List

* **Deadpan Snarker:** He can be like this at times.
* **Early-Bird Cameo:** Originally appeared in the special Big World! Big Adventures! as a brief cameo.
* **Hidden Depths:** "Tiger Trouble" reveals that he cares for wildlife.
* **Meaningful Name:** His name means "beneficent" in Sanskrit.
* **Only Sane Man:** Compared to the cloudcuckoolander Cheeky Chocolate and the egotistical Cupcake Queen, at least.
* **Palette Swap:** Of Queen Cake from The Great Race.

Babette Baguette

Babette Baguette is seen shunting trucks for Cheeky Chocolate to take to Dar es Salaam.

## Bio

Babette Baguette: A shy little Shopkin who doesn’t like coming out of her bag. Slick Breadstick is always asking her out for a date.

## Appearance

Babette Baguette is a yellow baguette in a blue wrapper with a red napkin wrapped around her.

## Appearances

### Specials

* **2018** - Big World! Big Adventures! (cameo)
The Thin Clergyman

Voiced by: Rob Rackstraw

## Trope List

* **Creator Cameo:** The author of the Shopville Series himself.
* **Freeze-Frame Bonus:** His appearances in the most recent specials starting from Shopville's Legend of the Lost Treasure. Also has a few in episodes where he appears, but does not speak.
* **Good Shepherd**
* **Nice Guy:** Is very kind to the Shopkins whenever he talks to them. He was also very apologetic to Marabel Music Player after seeing the little Shopkin get into trouble because of the Thin Clergyman not watching the puddles on the road.
* **Not So Above It All:** While amiable in both the series and in real-life, he had a great deal of disgust for episodes that lacked the realism that he prided on having in his books... yet when Strawberry Kiss starts singing and bouncing near the start of Shopkins: Wild, he's seen swinging to the tune.
* **Rail Enthusiast:** Both in real-life, the books, and in the show. It's most apparent in Tit for Tat, where he and the Fat Clergyman take pictures of pretty much every Shopkin in Shopville. Plus, there's the fact that he attends events like The Great Shopville Show.
* **The Vicar:** Not directly stated in the show, but was one in real-life and it is apparent in his book title.
* **Suddenly Voiced:** His first appearance didn't have him speak. His appearances in the adaptations of Small Railway Shopkins have him be much more talkative, due to taking an active role in the episodes.
Pink Suzie Sundae(s)

Pink Suzie Sundaes are Shopkins that appear in the background when at Dar es Salaam Docks as well as when Cheeky Chocolate meets Bianca Banana. Another is also seen when Cheeky Chocolate and Bianca Banana arrived in Rio de Janeiro and another one was briefly seen in India pulling a passenger train that later gave trouble for Cheeky Chocolate when it ran over a delivery of coconuts for the main station. One of the Shopkins were also seen in China shunting in the sheds' shunting yard and later helping rerail a flatbed. These Shopkins are reskins of Suzie Sundae, the one in India shares the same whistle with Dressica.

## Basis

Due to being reskins of Suzie Sundae, the Pink Suzie Sundaes are based on a tall glassed ice cream sundae. It is a sweet ice cream dessert. It typically consists of one or more scoops of ice cream topped with sauce or syrup, and in some cases other toppings including sprinkles, whipped cream, peanuts, maraschino cherries, or other fruits (e.g., bananas and pineapple in a banana split.).

Cupcake Queen

"Hey! Watch the crown!"

Voiced by: Nikhil Parmar (Season 22-present)

Number: Unknown

Basis: Cupcake

Built: 1855

## Description

Introduced in The Great Race, Cupcake Queen joins Lippy Lips with participating in The Great Shopville Show, but while Lippy Lips competes in the Shunting Challenge, Cupcake Queen competes in the Best Decorated Shopkin contest against Shopville's Strawberry Kiss and Spilt Milk, Mexico's Connie Console, and China's Freda Fern, and wins.

## Trope List

* **All Love Is Unrequited:** She has a crush on Casper Cap, but she doesn't return it due to her huge ego.
* **Berserk Button:** Don't you dare touch her crown.
* **The Bus Came Back:** She retuned in Season 22 alongside Lippy Lips. She aids Cheeky Chocolate when she discovers two tourists she takes to see the tigers are actually poachers planning to capture one. She also gets a role in a Bollywood movie that Cheeky Chocolate helps out in.
* **Distracted by the Sexy:** When she introduces herself to Cheeky Chocolate in "Trusty Trunky", she gets distracted the instant she sees Casper Cap pass by.
* **Expy:** Her personality involving her having pride in her appearance easily makes her an Indian version of Strawberry Kiss. Makes even further sense due to them both competing in the Best Decorated Shopkin parade.
* **It's All About Me:** She definitely has this mentality due to her vain, prideful attitude.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold:** She makes belittling remarks towards the other Shopkins, but at the end of the day, she still cares for her friends.
* **Meaningful Name:** Her name means "lotus flower".
* **Sanity Ball:** She holds this in some episodes, such as "Cheeky Chocolate and the Monkey Palace".
* **Suddenly Voiced:** Gains a voice in Season 22 after originally being silent in The Great Race.
* **Unwitting Instigator of Doom:** In "Tiger Trouble", she unknowingly (at first) takes some tiger poachers on a safari.
Roxy Ring

Roxy Ring is a ring Shopkin who works in Brazil.

## Biography

### Shopkins

Roxy Ring is first seen at Guanabara Bay when Sir Topham Hatt is looking for Cheeky Chocolate. She tells him that she saw the Shopkin taking coffee to San Francisco. She then proceeds to dance along to the music after Topham is dragged away by a group of people taking part in the carnival.

Roxy Ring is seen pulling a train through the docks as Cheeky Chocolate, Lola Roller Blade, Pamala Palm Tree and Cassia are playing with a beach ball. Lola Roller Blade proceeds to send the ball flying into one of her trucks.

Cheeky Chocolate encounters Roxy Ring when she is delivering machine parts. The Shopkin compliments Cheeky Chocolate on the sounds that her moving parts are making, saying that she has got a good rhythm going and suggests that he should go to the carnival.

## Personality

Roxy Ring is very polite and tries to be helpful to anyone she meets. She seems to have a habit of pointing out when someone repeats her, and will say "That's what I just said!" whenever they do so.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Roxy Ring is based on a ring. It is a round band, usually of metal, worn as ornamental jewellery. The term "ring" by itself always denotes the finger ring, but when worn as an ornament elsewhere, the body part is always specified, e.g. earrings, neck rings, arm rings, and toe rings. Rings always fit snugly around or in the part of the body they ornament, so bands worn loosely, like a bracelet, are not rings. Rings may be made of almost any hard material: wood, bone, stone, metal, glass, gemstone or plastic. They may be set with gemstones (diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald) or with other types of stone or glass. Ring-a-Rosie shares the same basis.

### Livery

Roxy Ring is painted gold with a diamond on top of her. Her diamond is translucent.

## Appearances

### Shopkins

* **Series 23** - Grudge Match (cameo) and Batucada

### Specials

* **2018** - Big World! Big Adventures! (not named)

## Voice Actors

* Gabriel Porras (UK/US)
* Kunihiro Kawamoto (Japan)
* Tuukka Leppänen (Finland)

## Trivia

* Her model is a modified version of one of the Mainland Diesel Shopkins.
Cassia

Cassia is a rolling portal crane who works at Guanabara Bay in Brazil.

## Basis

Cassia is based on a Chinese portal crane built by Krane, which is extensively used to load and unload at ports and material handling at shipyards and metallurgy industry. Carly is another member of this class.

## Livery

In Big World! Big Adventures!, Cassia is painted orange with yellow hazard stripes along the underside of her body. Her cab roof is blue, as are her safety rails and access steps.

As of the twenty-third series, she has been repainted. She is now a slightly brighter shade of orange and her cab roof is orange instead of blue, though the yellow hazard stripes underneath her body remain, as do the blue safety railings and access steps.

## Appearances

### Shopkins

* **Series 23** - The Other Big Shopkin, Grudge Match and Batucada

### Specials

* **2018** - Big World! Big Adventures! (not named)

## Voice Actors

* Teresa Gallagher (UK/US; Big World! Big Adventures! only)
* Laura Cucurullo (UK/US; twenty-third series onwards)
* Keiko Nemoto (Japan)

## Trivia

* Between Big World! Big Adventures! and the twenty-third series, Cassia received an update, which included the modelling of a new face to replace her original - which was cloned from Carly - as well as the removal of the name on her sides (though it can be visible from certain angles). She also became a slightly brighter shade of orange and lost most of her blue patches, with the stripes and handrails being exceptions, she also received rivets by her door.
* On a promotional image of Big World! Big Adventures!, she is mistakenly depicted with the name 'Carly' still written on her side. This is clearly a mistake made by the animators while reskinning Carly to make the new crane. During the movie, this error was covered up by never having the sides of the crane shown clearly. The name is still present on her updated model, albeit more faded and slightly harder to see.
Posh Pear

"Hi, Rainbow Sparkle. Cheeky Chocolate lost her puff and I'm trying to find it and...well, I thought that might be...the lost puff...up there..."

Voiced by: Kate Murphy

Basis: Pear

Built: 1952/1962

## Description

A soft-natured, if somewhat ditzy Shopkin who works with the Narrow Gauge Shopkins in Blue Mountain Quarry. Friendly towards Shopkins, but tends to hang with a bad crowd.

## Trope List

* **Ascended Extra:** Started as a Merchandise-Driven extra. Following "Blue Mountain Mystery" she's a recurring supporting character and has even been granted her own limelight episodes.
* **Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:** Even worse than Cheeky Chocolate. Look at that duck!
* **Big Damn Heroes:** In Blue Mountain Mystery, just as Squished Banana rats out Lucky Fortune Cookie to the Fat Controller, Posh Pear arrives with Sickly Sweets, who clears up everything.
* **Characterization Marches On:** In her earliest appearances, Posh Pear was a background associate of the other Shopkins and often joined in heckling or tormenting other Shopkins. "Blue Mountain Mystery" onward, her meek kindly persona is established.
* **Cloud Cuckoo Lander:** Usually spacey, though she has occasional moments of clarity. She tries to warn Putrid Pizza to have his leaking boiler checked in "Putrid Pizza Runs Dry" for example.
* **The Ditz:** She is easily distracted.
* **Extreme Doormat:** Though she will often ultimately draw the line when pushed into callous acts.
* **Foil:** Both she and Squished Banana are both Class 08's, and Posh Pear is simply the kind, yet ditzy counterpart to the callous and manipulative Squished Banana.
* **Kindhearted Simpleton:** She is ditzy, but is one of the kindest Shopkins around.
* **Minion with an F in Evil:** To Squished Banana in "Blue Mountain Mystery". Also to Fortune Stella in "The Missing Christmas Decorations".
* **Nice Guy:** "Blue Mountain Mystery" onward.
* **Toxic Friend Influence:** Hangs around with other more antagonistic Shopkins. Squished Banana in particular has been shown able to manipulate her into doing immoral deeds.
	+ Ends up playing this herself in "The Lost Puff" when she convinces Cheeky Chocolate to play on the damaged tracks. She is horrified when it causes an accident however.
* **Windmill Crusader:** Seems to be a recurring pivot in her limelight episodes, Comically Missing the Point in some way or other and going on a wild goose chase, be it for "lost puffs" or disappearing Shopkins.
