Personality[]

2009[]

Cherry Jam is a talented young girl filled to the brim with passion and joy for life. She is appreciative of everything life has given to her, but in all honesty, she does not actually like the extra-special attention she is given due to her stardom. Nor is she the snobby diva everyone assumed her to be at first, proving to actually be a super-sweet and friendly girl, although a little quiet sometimes if she cannot show her true self or express it properly.

Cherry Jam came to Berry Bitty City in hopes of finding a place that would accept her for her true self and find a true-blue friend. Which she found with Strawberry Shortcake, and then eventually the other Berry girls. She loves them all and like Strawberry, usually tries to be honest with them. She seems to be pretty wise and calm most of the time, but sometimes can't help but find herself growing as excited as the others when involved in their random adventures or fun events. Cherry adores the simplest of things in life such as just relaxing on a chair with a magazine or eating some cookies with the other girls because of her previous busy life as a pop star.

2022[]

Cherry is the lyricist and guitarist of the band. As Cherry's only speaking appearance is in "Find Your Voice", so we don't know much about her. She is a very talented musician but is afraid of the spotlight. She is a shy and soft-spoken girl who isn't confident about her talents. She is timid and nervous. Sherry Bobbleberry is always mean to her, and takes the credit, despite Cherry being the one to play the songs. After a lot of encouragement from her remaining bandmates and Strawberry's friends, she goes on stage and fills Sherry's part. When the performance turns out to be successful the band gets rebranded and is named after her, she becomes more confident in her skills because of the performance. She is sweet to Strawberry and her friends and lets them come sing with her. Peppermint is her best friend, and Raisin also has her back they both want her to show off her beautiful voice and creative talents.
