## *The Boys* Series

### Background

Cherie was one of Frenchie's best friends alongside Jay. The three would hang out together, getting high and committing crimes. One day in 2012, Frenchie planned for them to rob a bank as the two ecstatically agreed. Despite them defeating the Supes that showed up to stop them, the three were arrested and detained by the CIA. Grace Mallory was impressed by Frenchie's ingenuity against the Supes and attempted to recruit him. When he refused, she threatened to send Cherie and Jay to ADX Florence, a maximum-security prison, if Frenchie didn't come work for her. Frenchie agreed and Frenchie slowly grew distant from his friends.

By 2015, Frenchie was a full member of The Boys. While Frenchie was following Lamplighter, Cherie was getting high with Jay, however Jay started to overdose on an unknown substance. In a panic, Cherie called Frenchie to come help him. Frenchie arrived and saved Jay's life, but he couldn't stay for long as he needed to resume his mission. Cherie pleaded with him to stay with Jay, but Frenchie left in hurry, leaving Cherie to guard over Jay.

After that, Jay never saw Frenchie again and died months later of another overdose, straining Frenchie and Cherie's relationship further.

When Homelander begins searching for Translucent, Frenchie orders Cherie to cause a distraction by blowing up their hide-out.

Cherie is eventually approached by Kimiko, when she's looking to sate her bloodlust for Stormfront. In exchanged for 10% of her earnings, Cherie sets up Kimiko to take hits from the Albanian Mafia. After one mission, they rendezvous at a church to exchange payment, however, Frenchie followed them and confronts them both.
