Cherri

## Appearance

Cherri has dark skin, cartoon “pie-eyes” (which will bulge into more typical looking pink eyes at any type of extreme emotion), and her curly black hair is styled in two low buns.

Her outfit consists of a red dress with a deeper red skirt and bowtie, a cream ribbon around her waist with matching heels, and white gloves. She also wears a hennin themed around a waffle cone, decorated with red candies around the base with a deep red ribbon attached to the top.

Her overall appearance, gestures, and mannerisms are inspired heavily by rubber hose era cartoon characters. Her movements are bold and fluid, and tend to stretch her otherwise small stature.

## Personality

Cherri is friendly and energetic, able to brighten the mood in a room with her energy. As a princess-in-training, she’s very perceptive to the needs of others and is there to help when she can. Although, she does get tired of some of the “lessons” she must attend and would much rather tour the kingdom or adventure with Plumber (which she’ll sometimes do instead, much to the annoyance of [Elder Scoop]). Cherri prefers being outside and exploring rather than being confined indoors for long periods of time.

She’s often much more up front with what she thinks, also often saying what Plumber has on his mind or struggles to say. This tends to become much more apparent when something has angered the two of them. When provoked she’s very quick to respond verbally, with what she says reinforcing her more up front nature. She won’t allow someone to get away with upsetting her that easily, which leads to her scheming a quick and usually absurd way to make them face repercussions.

When it comes to combat, Cherri uses it as a fun time to put her skills and tools to the test. She’s much less of a trickster and more of a schemer when it comes to her more precision based weaponry. That being said, she still enjoys making things as confusing and frustrating for her opponents, similar to that of Plumber, through jokes, taunting, and scrambling everywhere she can when given the opportunity.

## History

Not too much is known about the history of the kingdom Cherri will eventually rule, other than that it is heavily themed around ice cream. Cherri is also a celebrated hero on top of her leadership status.

## Relations

### Plumber

They’re best friends, sharing a lot of interests and spending a lot of time together. They bounce off of each other incredibly well, sometimes thinking exactly what the other does at the same time or quickly finishing the punchline of a joke. When fighting together they’re a duo to be reckoned with thanks to this strong chemistry.

### Grand Scoop

Cherri respects him as a mentor and ruler, but she often feels as though he gets a bit high-strung when it comes to her paying attention to her studies. Though he’s proud of her fearlessness when it comes to approaching danger, that exact fearlessness is what gets him worried for her safety even if she has everything under control.

## Abilities and Weapons

Cherri doesn’t have many blatant abilities compared to others, and largely relies on being a nonsensical rubber hose type character.

She has a squash and stretch build which provides her with an incredible amount of durability, and can bend what’s around her to her advantage if she so desires, breaking the fourth wall and rendering abilities such as those involving space-time to be ineffective.

In combat, she uses a variety of gadgets visually themed around ice cream, toppings, or general sweets:

* A chocolate dipped waffle cone themed boomerang
* A glass ice cream dish themed slingshot with ice cream themed ammunition
* A giant popsicle used as a blunt, bludgeoning weapon
* A peppermint candy patterned umbrella for a quick defense in case things get messy

(Potentially more to be elaborated on later)

## Trivia

* Cherri is the first fully designed human OC to not be a part of the “Hydro Line” (A line connecting the other human OCs back to one design).
* Her birthday falls on 2023's National Ice Cream Day.
