Berry Shirayuki

**Berry Shirayuki** is a new character in *Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode*, the sequel to the first manga. She was injected with the DNA of both the Amami Black Rabbit and the Andes Mountain Cat. While Ichigo went with her boyfriend Masaya to London after losing her powers, she became the new leader for some time, when Ichigo returns she still helped, but chose to become the second in charge.

## Personality

Berry is a happy girl as well as being cheerful, and a hard worker. She is also very kind. She seems to say "eek" when she is nervous. She first became a Mew Mew she was greatly confused and scared, not sure if she would make a good leader, though soon becomes confident enough to start fighting back. She later realizes her feelings for her childhood friend Tasuku, and became a bit awkward around him for some time, though finally is able to tell him her feelings in the end. In Petite Mew Mew, Berry also shows her kind and caring nature when she worries about sleeping beauty.

Berry's hair is very long and is light blonde, she has dark brown eyes, though according to Royal Highness, they look almost red. Her mother looks like an older version of her, though with darker hair. Berry's uniform for when she works in the café is pink, and her school uniform is a Japanese sailor uniform.

When she transforms into Mew Berry, she gets some body parts from both of her red data animals. She gets light, cream colored rabbit ears and a cat tail. Her tail has a thin bow that has a bell tied onto it, similar to Ichigo. Berry's dress has a poofy skirt, with bows either side of the waist part that connects the skirt to her bodice, which is plain cream. Her hair remains blonde and her leg band has a red bow on it and she wears ankle-length baggy boots. She has the same gloves as Ichigo, but they are a cream colour like the rest of her outfit. It is unknown where Berry's mew mark is, although there is spectulation that Berry has none as she was hit at close range with the ray from the Mew Infuser Machine.

Berry replaces Ichigo Momomiya as the leader of the Mew Mews in *a la Mod*e while Ichigo leaves to go to England with her boyfriend Masaya Aoyama. She seems to have no emotion-triggered power. Berry is the first of Mew Mew to have her DNA merged with two animals: The Amami Black Rabbit and the Andes Mountain Cat. Berry gains abilities like jumping higher and hear things from far away. Her taste for vegetables, specifically carrots, also increased due to the D.N.A of the Amami Rabbit.
