## Bio

### Appearance

*See Cherry Blossomheart-Lovedream/Appearance*
### Personality

Cherry is kind, cheerful, and optimistic, always looking on the bright side. She cares about her friends deeply and always looks out for them, and is a believer in second chances, which can be either a strength or a flaw depending on the situation. She is always willing to help somecreature who is in trouble or feeling down. However, she is also overly trusting and quite easily tricked due to being reluctant to believe somecreature could be truly evil, and can be *quite* stubborn at times, but is very confident, determined, and always believes in herself. Her stubborn nature is best shown at the end of her saga when Valerie becomes bitter and turns evil, and Cherry is in denial and decides to believe that her best friend has simply been brainwashed.

Like with most future girls that have her namesake (despite not starting the Cherry Factor), it is also shown that Cherry often jumps at the chance to help others. She is extremely loyal to her friends, and fights to protect them without a second thought regardless of the risks to her own safety. She is good at reading Creatures' emotions (*especially* when it comes to Valerie), and will often exaggerate her naivete and childishness in order to brighten the mood.

### Relationships

* **Valerie Melodina-Harper**: Her best friend who she admits she (platonically) loves dearly. Eventually, when she becomes evil at the end of the saga, Cherry remains in denial and insists that she has been brainwashed. Before passing away and ascending to her Perserver form, she tells her friends that she still believes her good heart will resurface one day.
* **Michelle Quietpond-Brooks, Bryce Chervil-Forrest, Eric Kieran-Nightfall, Jasper Lightspark, Rei Blitzferno-Diamond, Akari Damiana-Berlitz, Ella Florashell-Weber, Galaxia Sunlight,** and **Cosmos Moonbeam**: Her other teammates who quickly become her close friends, and despite one having no combat power, one being a Messiah, one being a Darkness Elemental, and three of them being nonhumans, she refuses to judge them. Despite this, before passing away and automatically becoming a Perserver as a result, she tells them that she loves them more than anything, though after her death, Michelle decides to disband the team.

## Quotes

## Design Notes

* "Yuuna's the kind of girl who wants to run around in the sun and feel the fresh air on her skin. So of course, I gave her a sleeveless top and short skirt that bares her legs and upper arms."
* "The Mary Jane shoes give off just this tiny bit of childishness evident in her cheery personality. The same goes for the twin buns."

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* It is confirmed that she gets her token Dream Animals *before* her Dream Pixies, most likely for variety.
* Cherry has an odd Elemental type combo.
* Like Cherry Miles of the present-day, she was born on March 21, making her sign Aries. This is ***VERY*** fitting since cherry blossoms are associated with spring in Japan.
* Despite being named Yuuna/Cherry, she did not start the Yuuna/Cherry Factor, and it is an in-universe coincidence.
* Cherry tempts fate by saying that her team will never be apart. However, she is proven wrong when her best friend becomes evil, though she chooses to believe she has been brainwashed and not by her own choice. In the rewritten timeline, however, since she never died, she instead remains in denial for over *3000 years* until her hope finally comes true.
* It is confirmed by her creator that her and her human teammates' civilian outfits (and other civilians'), due to humans having yet to form partnerships with Pokémon and not yet realizing they can use the move String Shot without having to be killed, are made of silk collected from wild Silcoon that are killed, boiled, and unraveled, and then magically made into fabric by people who have magic weaving powers. This is *before* the move String Shot was discovered and before humans and Pokémon start working together, so humans do not yet realize that they do not need to kill the Silcoon.
* At the end of the adaption of "The Ending of the End" as the Magis eat donuts and discuss the future after the battle, Cherry's and her ten friends' spirits are shown in the Pokémon Center watching them from afar, and her best friend's spirit is also among them. The way they smile at each other and fade away back to the afterlife is also similar to the spirits of Sofu and Kiawe's grandfather fading away as they smile at each other at the end of "Run For It, Magis" (the adaptation of "Run, Heroes, Run!")
* Cherry learned how to sing from Valerie (especially after the latter's wish). Before then, she had a horrible screeching voice when trying to sing.
* She often transforms with Valerie despite them not being a true duo.
* After she gets Stage 3, her buns change into a Yuuki Yuuna-like ponytail, making her one of the few Magis whose transformed hairstyle changes after Stage 3. This was a compromise between her creator wanting her to have twin buns and the series creator wanting her to have a Yuuki Yuuna-like ponytail.
* In the series finale, she is confirmed to work as a midwife.
* The flower in her Harmony Mark is similar to Gyuuki's marking, indicating that although she didn't start the Cherry Factor, she *may* have something to do with the Shinju-sama. This is in fact due to the Ancestral Deities themselves agreeing with the Magic of Friendship to choose her since the former hadn't combined into the Shinju yet.
* The fabric flaps on her skirt resemble the fabric flaps on the Hero uniforms in YuYuYu.
* In the present-day, Cherry occasionally appears in Queen Vera's flashbacks, but she always brushes them off until she finally redeems herself. She and her teammates are also often alluded to in paintings and murals such as statues.
* Cherry was the first human to ever earn a Harmony Mark. Previously, humans and ponies could use magic without the need of a Harmony or Cutie Mark, and even modern non-human, non-pony creatures still have to awaken their magic despite possessing neither.
* Soon before dying and becoming a Perserver, she *loses an arm* to a Vertex. However, in her Perserver form and when shown as a spirit in the adaption of "The Ending of the End," she has both arms intact.
	+ Right before the Vertex bites her arm off, she tearfully begs Valerie (who has not gained her dark magic yet, but is planning to) to help protect her since her foot is stuck under a rock and her phone is just out of reach, though Valerie refuses and leaves her to be attacked, even kicking her phone further away. This moment is a *Wham Shot* that cements her best friend's betrayal.
* In her Elemaximum form, one of her abilities is the ability to summon massive roots of light from the ground to strangle enemies.
* At the end of Story 4 in her saga, Cherry is the only one who has not yet gained her Stage 3. She admits to Valerie (who gained her Stage 3 after confessing her platonic love to her) at the beginning of the first episode for Story 5 that *she's* the one who's jealous because of this.
* Like with Thrune and Miles (as well as the non-canon Katire) after her, she poses like this after her transformation.
* It is implied that her father killed himself after contracting Sky Fear Syndrome.
* In the rewritten timeline, before Katrina took over as Law of Cycles leader, she was originally the leader before her.
* She does ***NOT*** like being called a "Cherry-Factored girl" in the non-canon sagas, as one civilian learned the hard way.
