**Cherry Jam** is one of Strawberry's friends and a main character in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.

## Bio

This melodic Berry Girl came to Berry Bitty City to get away from the stressful life of a pop star. Little did she know, she would come to love this little town and decide to stay. This musical diva is as sweet as her jams.

### Appearance

Cherry has fair skin with pale pink lips and amethyst eyes. Her long indigo-black hair is worn loose with a very small curled fringe, worn with a hot pink headband that has a pale pink flower sewn to the side and two cherries. When performing in Berry Big City, she normally had glittery pale indigo strands in her hair and a glittery magenta star on her cheek.

Casually, Cherry wears a magenta dress with purple dots on the skirt and split, light pink fabric over it. A purple band circles the chest with her flower-cherry ornament. She also wears purple striped leggings and magenta flats. When performing, she dons a top similar to her dress with purple pants and hot pink boots.

Later on during seasons 3 and 4, Cherry would some times wear her hair up in a ponytail. She also would casually wear a white top with a pink cherry drawing and hot pink collar to accent her pants, and sky blue sleeves. She also wore a pale pink tank-top with a violet skirt, purple leggings, and hot pink sneakers accent with pale blue and white, or a purple top with lilac accents, fuchsia shorts, and white and hot pink flats.

### Personality

Cherry is fun-loving and playful, she enjoys having a good time with the other berry girls, especially when music can be involved. She is passionate and friendly, and appears to be naturally talented at various hobbies. Despite being spoiled by social media, she's berry sweet and remains humble despite how popular she is. She doesn't appear to miss her hectic lifestyle since moving to Berry Bitty City. She is calm and even-tempered, and fairly wise.

However, she struggles a little bit when it comes to openly expressing herself out of a desire not to hurt others feelings. She prefers honesty though, and will try her best. She can become temperamental when put under a lot of stress as well, such as during Dance Puppy Dance when she became annoyed while trying to work to the point that she began to call out her friends and reprimand them, then gave up music until she could she snapped out of it.

## Official Profile

*"When this mega-star singer came to town, she found that Strawberry Shortcake and her friends were just the besties she'd been looking for! And they discovered that she's an ordinary girl and a great friend -- not a diva at all! Cherry and Strawberry totally inspire each other creatively, so whether they're singing or chilling, they're always in perfect harmony."*

## Talents

As a pop star, Cherry is very talented musically. She knows everything when it comes to singing and playing instruments, and is smart enough to extend what she knows to teaching others how to play, inspiring her to become the official Music Teacher of Berry Bitty City.

She can often be found playing her guitar and at a given notice can pull out a song or musical piece if needed, usually to calm down a tense moment. She also writes her own songs and music.

Smart Blueberry: Cherry taught Blueberry how to play the clarinet, and naturally Blueberry admires her.
