General Information[]

Crepe suzette with Cherry Cuddler (2)

In the 1980s,Cherry Cuddler was another baby character, known for her propensity for hugging and being hugged by her friends. In the 2003 series, she is an 8-year-old French girl and friends with Apple Dumplin'. Not a baby, but younger than Strawberry and her friends. She never made an appearance in this series, however, a doll was made of her, where she is stated to be Crepes Suzette's sister! She loves cuddles, of course, and according to the set she was in, she is a dancer and loves to do ballet with her sister.

Personality[]

1980s[]

Due to her young age and late arrival, Cherry does not have much information known. She has not been shown to have much personality outside of being a sweet, affectionate little girl. Hence the "cuddler" in her name, Cherry loves hugs and her pet goose, as well as friends with babies such as Apricot, Butter Cookie, and Apple Dumplin.

2003[]

In the 2003 series, she is a peer of Apple Dumplin so she would be 8 or 9. Her sister Crepe is 16, and she plays a more motherly role since no one in Strawberry Shortcake had parents until a few parent characters were introduced in the 2021 series, Berry in the Big City. In the 2007 series she is a dancer. She loves to dance ballet with her sister. She is sweet, affectionate, and a hugger. It is unknown whether she has a French accent or not. She still has Gooseberry as a pet, but he only appeared with her in one of the special features (specifically a character guide) on the SSC DVDs released from 2008-2012.

Cherry Cuddler is often seen with her pet goose, Gooseberry. Gooseberry has a red bonnet to match Cherry tied nicely with a blue ribbon, and has the plush appearance of a lot of 1980s pets complete with spotted green wings. Gooseberry has an otherwise normal goose appearance with a yellow beak and feet with white plumage. They're shown to be affectionate just like Cherry, and Strawberry Shortcake describes Gooseberry as a goofy goose in her Pets on Parade song. In the 2000s they take in a different appearance complete with pink feathers, a hot pink beak, darker pink wings, a cherry collar, and a modernized design.
