Cherry is a grouchy and uncreative plantoid who owns a brand of fruit soda, all while he acts as the caretaker for his two younger brothers: Bop and Kid. Cherry was originally designed as a plantoid version of a character called Cherry Bop, a Multiheaded brawler plant with a similar style to Plants Vs Zombies, before completely surpassing the original Cherry Bop concept.

Despite being created for the VS. Plantoids event, he has yet to be finished and isn't available on the Rivals Of Aether Workshop.

## Appearance

Cherry's head is bright red and has the somewhat unique trait of being relatively shiny. While the leaf normally growing from his head is nothing but a small stump, as he had intentionally cut it off, his leaf eyebrows are thin and long. His common attire is a pink shirt with text printed on it near the neck. His large collar, fashioned to look like designs on the cans of soda he sells, also obscures the text written on his shirt and also his relatively small mouth. His chamomile-coloured arms and legs are very stem-like and are naturally a little tougher than the arms of most plantoids. He wears legwear of a metallic grey color and while it does have pockets, he can't use them as his leaf skirt is in the way. Cherry's leaf skirt isn't really formed like a skirt, as it only has two leaves at either side, similar to weapon holsters and he had to sever seven leaves from his body to get the appearance. He has multiple more stumps like the back of his head around his hips that he doesn't like showing, implying he's had quite a lot of leaves removed from himself.

## Summary

Cherry is a grouchy, blunt and untrusting man who seemingly lacks the ability to relax, however he is much calmer around his younger brothers and tries his hardest to not only keep them happy, but to keep them safe from the threat of the outside world as he fears there may be forces out to get his young siblings. Even if you show absolute kindness to his brothers, you will only earn but a sliver of trust from Cherry himself.

He runs an entire brand of fruit drink by himself, as he doesn't trust anyone else for the job, somewhat uncreatively called Cherry's Punch. This drink has a very high strength and can be quite difficult for those unaccustomed to it's strong taste, so he also sells a lite version of the drink called Cherry's Pinch, which is much milder and easier to drink, making it slightly more popular.

Cherry has a somewhat unorthodox style of combat as while reminiscent of fighting with brass knuckles, he instead utilizes the cans of Cherry's Punch he sells but with a much different version than publicly available which is specifically designed to be additionally thickened and sticky as to inhibit movement of foes when spilled on them, as well as the taste of the drink to be strengthened as much as he could get away with. He calls this combat-oriented version of the drink Cherry's Power.
