Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake is the franchise's main heroine. In her first two incarnations, the character was seen tending to her garden. Regardless, she is a great chef who wishes to be the "berry" best baker.

Design in 2003

Season 4 design in 2003

• All-Loving Hero: Strawberry Shortcake is a pleasant, kind girl. She helps those who come to her with a problem and is the right person to ask for help. Downplayed in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City where she can get a little crazy sometimes.
• Always Someone Better: This is the main reason why Strawberry Shortcake and Raspberry Tart became rivals in the first season of Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, though they did make amends later. Raspberry Tart was the top seller throughout the Berryworks until Strawberry Shortcake set up her own stand.
• Ash Face: Gets one in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City when the Cake-inator blows up.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Strawberry Shortcake tends to be nice, but she knows that the Peculiar Purple Pieman hates berry talk, which he admitted to in the first and third specials, so she is willing to thwart his schemes with it after being sabotaged by him.
• Character Alignment: Strawberry Shortcake is Lawful Good.
• Cheerful Child: Strawberry Shortcake is generally quite the cheerful, happy, optimistic girl.
• Color-Coded Character: Started off wearing red, but she began wearing pink clothes in later incarnations.
• Girliness Upgrade: She's a Tomboy with a Girly Streak in the 2003 series. However by season 4, she sports more feminine clothing (the media went back and forth on her wearing a skirt). Comes to a head in the 2009 series where she's wears a dress instead.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Strawberry Shortcake becomes this in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, being generally feminine but also having high energy.
• Green Around the Gills: When the Peculiar Purple Pieman cuts his toenails smack dab in the middle of the courtyard of the Berryworks in The Case of the Missing Spoon, Strawberry Shortcake is understandably disgusted, her face turning green.
• Heroic Blue Screen of Death: Encounters this several times:
  • 1980's:
    • First, Strawberry Shortcake is allegedly abandoned by her friends and cries as she feels betrayed. Fortunately, it's because Shortcake's friends were planning on a birthday party.
    • Later, she suffers one when she tries to check into a hostel that she made reservations for, but the Peculiar Purple Pieman hijacked the system, forcing the hostel to give her the boot. She does manage to cheer up when she and Orange Blossom meet up.
    • Strawberry Shortcake later gets blamed by her friends for rigging the competition so that the Peculiar Purple Pieman could win, when in fact he was the one who did it. Fortunately, she recovers and comes back for revenge, weaponising his hatred of her Berry Talk and driving him away.
  • Her 2003 self suffers this when Angel Cake botches her cake for the friendship party in Festival of Friends.
  • Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City:
    • In Mean Berries, Strawberry Shortcake sells her products but gets hit with this trope when she learns that you have to keep finding fresh ideas to continue working in the Berryworks.
    • Strawberry Shortcake starts to feel like she wasn't as special as she thought when the Cake-inator takes over Strawberry Shortcake's business. It's not until the Cake-inator starts making mistakes that good old Shortcakes gets back up.
    • Strawberry Shortcake is forced into a tantrum when she meets an evil doppëlganger of herself in Strawberry Nightmare, but recovers quickly when she escapes the nightmare.

No! This isn't the only way! This is not who I am! No!!!!!!

• • • In Adventures in Berrysitting, Strawberry Shortcake is defeated when Honeydew Sorbet causes trouble and escapes.

We're the worst Berrysitters ever! —Strawberry Shortcake feels guilty when Honeydew Sorbet vanishes.

• • • Strawberry Shortcake experiences a massive one when she and the Peculiar Purple Pieman get into a partnership, and then he fires her. She is later snapped out of this funk due to the friendships she made.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: Strawberry Shortcake is a nice girl who stars as the heroine of the series and Custard is her pet cat.
• Invisible Parents: It's often assumed she and Apple Dumpling are orphans in the first three incarnations of the franchise. This is played straight in the 2021 series, where they ship her off to live with her aunt Praline.
• Meaningful Name: Her hats are strawberry themed.
• Ship Tease: With Huckleberry Pie.
• Supreme Chef: A "berry" good baker in her own right.
• Tomboy: She is presented as such in the 2003 series, playing sports and wearing masculine outfits (which aren't chest-exposing). However, certain episodes and scenes have her give into femininity for certain activities. She likes to play dress-up and have tea parties.
• Vocal Dissonance: Strawbs, in the scene from Will You Be My Lemontine? where your mechanic friend is cleaning her truck of Valentine gifts that she didn't want and you're barreling towards her with another gift, WHY does Tanjirō Kamado have a higher-pitched voice than YOU do?
• Wingding Eyes: Is presented with hearts in her eyes during one scene in the Berry in the Big City episode Will You Be My Lemontine?, more specifically when Lemon Zest is clearing her food truck of Valentine gifts that she didn't want and Strawberry Shortcake starts barreling towards her with another gift in her hands.

Heeeeeeyyyy, Leeeeemooooooon!! —Strawberry Shortcake greets Lemon Zest in Will You Be My Lemontine?

• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Starting from the fourth season of the 2003 series, her hair colour started getting unnatural, being maroon. She would later be featured with pink hair come later generations.

Custard

Custard is the pet cat of Strawberry Shortcake, having been such ever since her debut in the first episode.

• Butt Monkey: Custard had it rough in the 2003 series and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, where she is the target of slapstick. Pupcake often tackles her in the 2003 series and she has been frightened when Orange Blossom woke Shortcakes up with her horn.
• Character Alignment: Custard was True Neutral when she was featured in the 1980's. In the 2003 series, she became Lawful Neutral. She reverted back to true neutrality come Berry Bitty Adventures, and in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, she became Neutral Good.
• Jerkass Has A Point: In the 2003 show, their were a lot of points where she was very rude but only because the other characters couldn't figure it out themselves or were too nice to complain.
• Talking Animal: This occurs twice. The first time is in the 1980's series, where Custard and a skunk named Soufflé have a conversation. She is this on a regular basis in the 2003 version, and Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures has her drop this trait so that she speaks by meowing.
• The Voiceless: In contrast to the 2003 series where she was a Talking Cat, she simply speaks in meows in Berry Bitty Adventures and Berry in the Big City.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: You wouldn't expect real cats to have pink fur, right? Well, this one does. It ties in well with her feminine sex.

Huckleberry Pie

This guy appeared in every generation. He typically appears as part of the main cast, but gets a minor role in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.

• Ambiguously Brown: He has darker skin in the 2021 series, it's unclear if he's a dark south asian or light skin black.
• Character Alignment: Due to his tendency to speak slang and be wild, Huckleberry Pie is typically classed as Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Good in most of his appearances. Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures makes his alignment more vague.
• Demoted to Extra: In Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, Huckleberry Pie only appears a few times, with his role being minor. Only a few episodes give him major roles.
• Expy: Huckleberry Pie's name and original design come from Huckleberry Finn, the titular protagonist of the novel of the same name by Mark Twain.
  • In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Huckleberry Pie has his design changed to look like Justin Bieber. Fortunately, he is better than that guy.
• Put on a Bus: Peach Blush took Huckleberry Pie's place during the last two specials in the 1980's.
• Race Lift: Huckleberry Pie was a Caucasian for his first three designs, but come Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, and the guy's skin is darker.
• Ship Tease: With Strawberry in the 2003 series. Also Blueberry in the 2009 series.
• The Smurfette Principle: Inverted. Male characters scarcely appear, but this guy is part of the main cast.
• The One Guy: While male characters aren't non-existent in the franchise, Huckleberry is traditionally the only male character of the group.
• Totally Radical: Huckleberry Pie spikes his dialogue with this speech pattern for his 2003 design.

Pupcake

Pupcake is another animal in the series. He made his debut appearance as Huckleberry Pie's pet, and the 2003 version put him with Strawberry Shortcake. His crazy energy is one of his defining traits.

• Adapted Out: In Berry in the Big City, Custard is the only one Strawberry brings with her. However, Marmalade from Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures has his name changed to "Pupcake."
• Black Eyes of Evil: Inverted in the original series, where the character is portrayed with black beads for eyes but is not a villain. Averted in the rest of the franchise.
• Character Alignment: Pupcake tends towards Chaotic Good in the 2003 series and becomes Neutral Good come Berry Bitty Adventures.
• Punny Name: Pupcake derives his name from the terms "cupcake" and "puppy" or "pup."
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Played straight. In the 1980's, Pupcake has brown green fur on his ears. He has white and blue fur in the 2003 show. In Berry Bitty Adventures, he has white and green fur.

Angel Cake

This character made her debut for the 1980's series in the third special, Pets on Parade, where she is presented as an overly polite character. The 2003 series makes her a part of the core Berry Circle. She is a bit of a perfectionist, but generally nice.

2003 design

• Adapted Out: Out of the 2009 and 2021 version.
• Character Alignment: Angel Cake is generally Lawful Good.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite being one of the core members of the show, Angel Cake got the boot during the transition to Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures due to the Healthy Snacks Policy, and she has failed to make an appearance ever since.
• Flanderisation/Four Is Death/Took a Level In Jerkass: Gets warped into a meaner character come Season 4 of the 2003 series.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Downplayed in the fourth season of the 2003 series as well as Angel Cake in the Outfield, but played straight in the prior 3 seasons.
• Nice Guy: More like "Nice Girl," but Angel Cake started this way, but things started to slip come the fourth season of the 2003 generation.
• The Perfectionist: Angel Cake likes things perfect. Strawberry Shortcake lampshades this.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Her reaction to when Blueberry Muffin, Ginger Snap, and Orange Blossom began to feel bad for "Cinderella" in the play in The Play's the Thing is an In-Universe version of this. The trio reply that they felt bad for what they did, while Angel Cake retorts, "You ARE bad!"
• Verbal Tic: Due to her polite nature in the 1980's generation, Angel Cake tends to spike her dialogue with "begging your pardon" (or some variation of it), "please," and/or "thank you."
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: In the 1980's version where she debuted, Angel Cake had light blue hair. Averted in the 2003 version where she is a blonde.

Orange Blossom

This girl is memorable due to her nature as a negro. When she first appeared, Orange Blossom loved to paint pictures, so she traveled the world to find things that would inspire her. She would become a juice maker come later generations.

2003 design

• Character Alignment: Orange Blossom is True Neutral or Lawful Neutral with good tendencies in the original series, Lawful Good in the 2003 cartoon, Neutral Good in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, and Chaotic Good in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty/Jerkass Ball: Blossom gets these in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City when she subjects Strawberry Shortcake to a difficult fitness training course during the episode Working Out with Orange Blossom. Fortunately, she eases up on Strawberry Shortcake.
• Mad Artist: Downplayed in that she is a good guy, but Orange Blossom is painting a seahorse due to her lack of paint at the beach where she saw him. She would later paint the park when she is at the mountains.
• Odango Hair: Blossom has this for her base hairstyle in the 2003 version and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. However, rather than actual buns of hair, she has "afro puffs."
• Odd Name Out: Blossom is named after a flower despite the rest of the gang getting dessert-themed names.
• Passionate Sports Girl: Orange Blossom becomes this in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.
• Race Lift: Orange Blossom got this twice. The first time was when the series transitioned to Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, where she is warped from an African American to a Hispanic. Fans were not happy until the second race lift happened, where she reverted back to African American come Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.
• Token Minority: Orange Blossom is an African American. This is no longer the case in the 2021 series.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Double-subverted in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. Orange can be a natural hair colour, but not for African Americans.

Blueberry Muffin

Blueberry Muffin is a blue-haired girl who can be forgetful sometimes, though her forgetfulness is downplayed as the series evolves. She returns in the 2003 series starring as a bookworm and a wannabe thespian, and Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures sees her turned into a book shop keeper who is into mysteries. Cheesecake was introduced as a pet for Blueberry Muffin in the 1980's.

• Annoying Younger Sibling: In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Blueberry Muffin tends to get annoyed when her brother insults the ice cream flavours that his sister made. Orange Blossom is shocked.

"Mom! Everything Bagel is doing it again!"

• Brainy Brunette: In the 2003 generation, Blueberry Muffin was changed to have brown hair rather than blue. This is the only generation where she doesn't have blue hair.
• Character Alignment: Most of Blueberry's appearances have her portrayed with a Lawful Neutral alignment, but Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City portrays her as Chaotic Good. Cheesecake the mouse remains Lawful Neutral.
• Cloudcuckoolander: The 1980's generation and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City paint her as this, the latter even more so. Cheesecake gets annoyed by this sometimes given his organized nature in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.
• Depending on the Artist: Not in the show itself, but there are a few 2003 show media where her hair is its traditional blue.
• Forgetful Jones: Blueberry Muffin fails to track the conversation during the events of the first special to the point of forgetting what she just said.
• Race Lift: In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Blueberry Muffin is portrayed as East Asian.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Averted in the 2003 generation, where Blueberry Muffin has brown hair. In the other generations, though, she is given blue hair.

Apple Dumplin'

Apple Dumplin' made her debut as the group's baby. She is smaller and less independent than the rest of the characters, but she still is capable of taking care of herself when something bad is going to happen to her. She works as a blogger in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.

• Age Lift: Apple Dumplin' made her debut as the infant member. She was aged up to a comparable age to the other characters come Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.
• Character Alignment: Apple Dumplin' is Neutral Good.
• Character Focus: Apple Dumplin' gets the spotlight in Baby Takes the Cake.
• Characterization Marches On: When she was first introduced, Apple Dumplin' could not speak, but she could understand the Berry folk's language and made scribbles whose meaning Blueberry Muffin and the Peculiar Purple Pieman could understand. The 2003 cartoon gives her speech capabilities, though comparable to what Bruce Banner has in his empowered state in the first two seasons. Come season 3, and Apple Dumplin' is capable of better speech patterns, and she speaks with less errors. She is finally able to speak properly come season 4, but gets her idioms wrong.
• Hidden Depths: Apple Dumplin' can write the berry folk's language despite being a baby and thus being speechless.
• Hulk Speak: Apple Dumplin' spoke this way because she was so young.
• Tagalong Kid: Apple Dumplin' is the Sixth Ranger in the group's fun, but the other kids do not mind her presence.
• The Voiceless: Apple Dumplin' could not speak in the first generation, but that didn't ruin her ability to understand the Berry folk's language.
• Third-Person Person: Apple Dumplin' rarely used first person pronouns during the first two seasons. She started using them more often later.
• Walking the Earth: Apple Dumplin' travels the world in Berry Bitty Adventures.

Raspberry Tart

Raspberry Tart starts somewhat mean, but her character develops so that she gets better. She is notorious for saying what she thinks without thinking over it. A monkey named Rhubarb is Raspberry Tart's pet. Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City makes her the main antagonist of the first season.

File:Raspberry Tart Capture.png

Original design.

• Adaptational Villainy: Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City makes her the Big Bad. That is, until she changes her ways in Bake Off.
• Character Alignment: Raspberry Tart is Neutral Good in the original series. In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, she starts off Lawful Evil but shifts into a more Neutral Good alignment.
• Open Mouth, Insert Foot: Raspberry Tart is bad at thinking through what she says before saying it out loud in the 1980's generation. Huckleberry Pie lampshades it.
• Passionate Sports Girl: Instead of being a Fashionista, she is this in the 2003 series.

Plum Puddin'

I think I know just what to do! I'll calculate, conjugate, and equate and equalise, and and come to the conclusion that the party be surprise!

This little guy was made to be the smart one for the 1980's generation, but he got the boot. His name would later be used for girls in the next two generations, and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City would bring him back as the head of a technology-based corporation.

• Character Alignment: Male Plum Puddin' is Lawful Neutral in both his incarnations. Female Plum Puddin' in the 2003 series is also Lawful Neutral. The Plum Puddin' in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures is Chaotic Good.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: One less disturbing theory as to how the female Plum Puddin' in Strawberry Shortcake and the Baby Without a Name came to be is that the original couldn't make it so a girl had to take his place.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: 2003 Plum Puddin' can be quite clumsy. This would have spelled doom for her chances of having fun at Annie Oatmeal's ranch as she became a punching bag.
• Gender Bender: A more disturbing theory as to how female Plum Puddin' came to be is that Plum Puddin' got hit with this.
• Gender Flip: The original and Berry in the Big City versions are male, and the 2003 and Berry Bitty Adventures versions are female.
• Heroic Blue Screen of Death: Both 2003 and 2009 get this. 2003 gets this after she gets teased too much, which threatens to make her leave the ranch, but she is re-motivated and continues helping her friends. 2009 gets hit when her membership pin fails to get to her mailbox and she starts to think that she has an inherent flaw, so the ladybug twins try to use her as a slave.
• The Hyena: 2009 Plum Puddin' has a tendency to laugh.
• Meganekko: 2003 Plum Puddin'.
• Race Lift: Berry in the Big City portrays the character as a black person.
• Riddle for the Ages: The character was particularly infamous for his fate being this in the 1980's cartoon. During his debut appearance and his cameo in the second episode, Plum Puddin' was a male. However, in the last two specials, a female Plum Puddin' shows up. Is she a creation or relative of his, did Plum Puddin' get himself subjected to a sex switch, or was she posing as a boy the whole time? While the former two (girl Plum Puddin' being the original's relative and her being a creation of his) are complicated due to the series being fantasy and the fact that you cannot easily get away with stealing your relative's name, the third is very disturbing and uncomfortable and the fourth is also unlikely as nobody on-screen reacts (unless they already knew that she was a girl the whole time and/or didn't care or she got exposed off-screen and was forgiven).
• The Smart Guy: All except for the 2009 version.
• Tomboy: Downplayed due to the fact that she likes to dance and we see her wearing a dress or skirt, but 2009 Plum Puddin' fits. She ties her hair in a ponytail as well. 2003 Plum Puddin' also fits, as she likes to ride horses.
• Vocal Dissonance: Plum Puddin' still has a voice that has a similar vocal range to his earlier incarnations (both the original male and the females) in his Berry in the Big City incarnation despite his masculine gender.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: The original Plum Puddin' had a mop of blue hair on his head. The next two had purple hair.

Lemon Meringue

Just a minute! I'm primping!

This girl made her debut in the first generation. She is often portrayed as a girly girl who loves fashion, and the first generation painted her as a fashion model. She still likes fashion come later generations.

• Character Alignment: Lemon Meringue borders between Lawful Neutral and Lawful Good in the original series. In the next two generations, her alignment is Lawful Good.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Despite her self-centered traits in the 1980's generation, Lemon Meringue still manages to be one of the good guys. She is still one of the good guys come later generations.
• Narcissist: Lemon Meringue seems to be obsessed with her looks in the 1980's generation.
• Morality Pet: In the 2003 version, she is portrayed as the one that Raspberry Torte has a soft spot for.
• The Ditz: Lemon Meringue is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
• The Fashionista: Lemon Meringue just LOVES fashion, even modelling for it in the first generation.
• Tomboy: Inverted. She loves fashion and can be vain.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: In the 2003 version, Lemon Meringue is the girly girl while her friend Raspberry Torte is the tomboy.
  • This is inverted in the 2021 version, where she's the Tomboy and Raspberry Torte is a girly Alpha Bitch.

Almond Tea

This girl is only seen in Housewarming Surprise, her homeland being the analogue of China (known as China Cup in the television series) for the Strawberry Shortcake series.

• Character Alignment: It's hard to tell, but Almond Tea seems to be of good alignment (Neutral Good is the most likely, while Lawful Good is possible, but Chaotic Good is very unlikely.)
• Lady Looks Like a Dude: Almond Tea looks like a boy. She was given a more feminine getup for certain illustrations, and Tea Blossom from the 2003 series would have a different design.

T.N. Honey

This British girl made her debut during the episode Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City, where she is seen in the titular city. T.N. Honey is a master with machines, making her a valuable asset to the gang.

• Aerith and Bob: T.N. Honey uses initials in her first name, and is the first character in the franchise to do so.
• Character Alignment: This character can be classified as Lawful Good, considering she is polite and kind-hearted.
• Child Prodigy/Wise Beyond Their Years: Even though she is "berry" young, Honey is a talented inventor and mechanic.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The only television appearances made by Honey are in the aforementioned episode, and the only other non-fanon medium featuring her is in the cards produced by American Greetings.
• Gadgeteer Genius/Wrench Wench: Honey knows her way with machines.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Honey is a girl with blond hair and there is no bad bone in her.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: Honey is a genius who wears glasses.
• Spell My Name with an "S": Is it "T.N. Honey" with the T and the N right next to each other or "T. N. Honey" with a space?
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Honey is this one for Plum Puddin', who himself made a cameo at the start of the episode that she appeared in.
• Toyless Toyline Character: Although she was featured on several cards, in one of which she and Plum Puddin' were together, suggesting that they could be a couple, Honey did not get any dolls.
• You Don't Look Like You: Honey had yellow glasses in her trading card appearances. In the cartoon, her glasses becomes white.
• Youthful Freckles: Honey is a young girl and her cheeks have freckles.

Apricot

Apricot made her debut appearance in Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City. There, she was an infant about the same age to Apple Dumplin'. The 2003 series brings her back, but now she has been aged up to a similar age to the others. Apricot owns a rabbit named Hops-A-Lot.

• Age Lift: Apricot started off as a baby but aged up to around 5 to 10.
• Character Alignment: Neutral Good.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Apricot stopped appearing after she appeared in Meet Apricot, not even in Berry Bitty Adventures. The "no junk food" policy is not likely to be a factor in Apricot's vanishing.
• Consummate Liar: When she appeared in Meet Apricot, the character told lies, saying that she lived in a castle when she really lived in a small house, and that she was a great skater when she actually sucked a bit, but the lies were forgiven and the others were quick to forgive her.
• Friends Rent Control: When she first appeared, Apricot was seen having an apartment to herself, so it could be assumed that she got funding from her friends there.
• Verbal Tic: In the 1980's series, Apricot can speak a smattering of complex words. T. N. Honey is her closest neighbor, so she could be an explanation regarding why Apricot says such words.

Lime Chiffon

Lime Chiffon made her debut in the first generation episode Strawberry Shortcake: Pets on Parade, and made several more appearances before she was dropped. She was a ballerina in the first generation, but the 2003 version dropped her. Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City puts her back in the main roster, where she and a lemon-themed woman who works as a mechanic operate the LemonLime Time Cart.

• Ambiguously Brown: She has darker skin in the 2021 show, however it's unclear if she's south asian or black like Orange.
• Character Alignment: Lime Chiffon is Lawful Neutral with some good tendencies, as she tends towards law when it comes to most things.
• Decomposite Character: In the 2021 series. Since Blueberry Muffin is more of Cloudcuckoolander and Raspberry Torte takes a while to become friends with the group, Lime gets Blueberry's smarts and Raspberry's fashion skills.
• The Fashionista: Lime Chiffon is into fashion. She takes Strawberry Shortcake to a clothes store to get a new outfit for Gascone. Fluffy Chiffon, one of Lime Chiffon's fathers, spends his time designing clothes for the stores.
• Has Two Mommies/Missing Mom: More like "Has Two Daddies" for the former trope, but Lime Chiffon's mother fails to appear, so she has her spot filled by a man named Fluffy Chiffon, who has a positive relationship with Lime Chiffon's father, Dr. Lime Pops.
• Promotion to Opening Titles: She is typically a supporting character at best, Berry In The Big City has her being the fashionista and brains of the group.
• Race Lift: Has darker skin in the 2021 series.
• Rage Breaking Point: Lime Chiffon is not pleased when she hears Blueberry Muffin's wild stories in A Berryworks Mystery.

Blueberry Muffin: "Legends say...!" Lime Chiffon: "Mystery says...!"

• Riddle for the Ages: What happened to Lime Chiffon's mother? Did she have one?
• The Smart Guy: Lime Chiffon takes this role in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Lime Chiffon is the girly girl (being more into fashion) while her partner (who is a Wrench Wench and Gadgeteer Genius) is the tomboy.

Cafe Olé

Café Olé made her debut in Housewarming Surprise where she is one of four foreign Berry persons whom Strawberry Shortcake meets. Café Olé lives in Mexicocoa, the Strawberry Shortcake analogue to México, and owns a donkey named Burrito. She is commonly seen with two maracas on her.

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Café Olé makes her sole appearance during the events of Housewarming Surprise in the 1980's. After that she vanishes and fails to make appearances in other generations.
• Phenotype Stereotype: Café Olé's illustrations show her as a brunette with slightly darker skin than Strawberry. Her doll is a little less dark, and has red hair.
• Punny Name: Her name is derived from the drink "Café Au Lait" (Milk coffee) and the Spanish interjection "Olé."
• You Don't Look Like You: Her doll and illustrations portray her differently.

Crepes Suzette

This girl made her debut in Housewarming Surprise, after which she dropped out of the cast aside from card illustrations. The 2003 version sees her returning for A Festival of Friends. She has a poodle who calls themself "Eclair" (named after esclairs) and hails from Pear-is (pronounced PEHR-ris), the Strawberry Shortcake analogue of Paris (pah-REE(S)) in both versions.

• Character Alignment: Crepes is most likely Lawful Neutral or True Neutral with good tendencies.
• Gratuitous French: It helps that Crepes was designed to BE French in the first place. Her name is even derived from "Crespe Suzette."
• Race Lift: Crepes originally had lighter skin, but come Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, her skin got darker.
• Supreme Chef: The 1980's version claims that Crepes Suzette can cook better than Strawberry Shortcake can.
• The Fashionista: Crepes is this in both versions, just like Lemon Meringue. She even has her own fashion botique.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Crepes was originally given blue hair for the first generation. Come the second, and she would be given pink hair.

Mint Tulip

This girl made her debut in Housewarming Surprise. She is a girl who comes from Hollandaise (The Strawberry Shortcake analogue to the Netherlands) and maintains a garden. She owns a pet duck named Marsh Mallard, and brings him along with her in the episode.

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Mint does not appear in later versions of the series.
• Getting Crap Past the Radar: More like "Getting Booze Past the Radar," but mint julep, which this character was named after, is an alcoholic drink.

Lem and Ada

These kids made their debut in Strawberry Shortcake: Housewarming Surprise and are friends of Strawberry Shortcake's from the Pickledilly circus. They own a large dog by the name of Sugarwoofer.

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: These two only appeared in the 1980's.
• Failed a Spot Check: The twins themselves avert this, but their identities are for some reason become hard to discern for most of the others even though Ada has a hair bow on her head and Lem has a cap on his. Sugarwoofer can tell them apart, though.
• Half-Identical Twins: Lem is the boy, identified by his hat. The girl, Ada, is identifiable by the large ribbon in her hair.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: These twins have not a single bad bone in their petite bodies.
• Punny Name: These two form a pun on "limonada" (Spanish for lemonade) with their names.
• The Dividual: These twins share many personality traits, their sentences more often than not being finished by each other and never striking out alone individually.

Peach Blush

This kid made her debut in Strawberry Shortcake and the Baby Without a Name. She is a friend of Plum Puddin' (whether she was a friend of the original male Plum Puddin' or his female replacement is unspecified, though the latter is more likely) who hails from the Magnolias and speaks with a southern belle accent and is the titular baby's guardian. A sheep named Melonie Belle follows her like a pet.

• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Peach Blush was not featured after she appeared in the 1980's, though you can blame Values Dissonance for getting her booted. Ironically, she took Huckleberry Pie's place among the cast, leaving it completely devoid of males who are neither antagonistic nor minor (except the Sun himself.)
• Friend to All Children: Peach Blush had managed to adopt the titular character of Strawberry Shortcake and the Baby Without a Name even though she is a youngster herself.
• Southern Belle: Peach Blush acts the type.

Baby Needs-A-Name

This girl made her debut in the fifth special. She is given this title as she has no official name and the producers wanted those who owned her to choose what name she would have for themselves.

• No Name Given: Hey! It's in her "name!" Baby Needs-A-Name was created so that those who owned her doll could choose her name.

Mr. Sun

This being serves as Strawberryland's sun, his role being the narrator.

• Animate Inanimate Object: He is an animate star.
• Benevolent Genie: During the first episode, Strawberry Shortcake wishes she can beat the Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak. Mr. Sun responds by animating some trees, which do the dirty work on Shortcake's behalf.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Mr. Sun nearly gets suffocated by the smog cloud that Sour Grapes created during her hasty attempts to make perfume.
• Space Does Not Work That Way: A real Sun would not talk to the characters, but this is fiction.
• The Face of the Sun: Mr. Sun is a sentient star.

Coco Nutwork

Coco Nutwork is the host of his very own cooking show in Big Apple City.

• Beat the Curse Out of Him: Coco Nutwork reverts to his fair self when he tastes a kohlrabi cookie.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Restricted to the first generation.
• Punny Name: "Coconut" meets "network."
• One-Man Army/The Ace: More like One-Man Network, but this guy can work on his own.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Dresses as a woman during one part.

The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak

Aw, what's the matter, kiddies? Did your can spring a leak!?

The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak is Strawberry Shortcake's chief rival, the main antagonist of the franchise, and a nasty man. He is notorious for stealing berries from others, and usually sends his Berry Bird minions to help him get his hands on said berries.

• Adapted Out: The Peculiar Purple Pieman fails to return for Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, with a nicer character named "Steve Piemanne" taking his place.
• Added Alliterative Appeal: Many words in the Peculiar Purple Pieman's "name" start with the letter P.
• Ambition Is Evil: The Pieman will try anything to keep his spot as the number 1 baker.
• Big Bad: The Peculiar Purple Pieman tends to take the role of the lead villain.
• Breakout Villain: The Pieman apppeared in the first generation's TV special and moved on to become the main antagonist, causing havoc with his dastardly plots.
• Broken Pedestal: Strawberry Shortcake viewed the Pieman as her hero in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, but then the Pieman revealed his true colours, causing her opinions to change.
• Character Alignment: Since he is more than willing to screw others over, the Pieman is Neutral Evil.
• Character Tics: The Pieman tends to perform a tap dance, even including the lyrics of the ditty made to accompany his tap dance in his signature in Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Movie.
• Cheaters Never Prosper: In the first generation, Strawberry Shortcake probably would've had her victory secured quite easily hadn't the Peculiar Purple Pieman sabotaged her equipment... or had her friends gone out to help. The latter happened.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef/Lethal Chef: In Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City, the Pieman tries to make sure Strawberry Shortcake cannot get to the baking contest since his cookies are so bad that they can make sapient ovens gag. This could be due to his decision to spike their dough with cabbages, and when Coco Nutwork eats one of them, he breaks free of hypnosis.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The Pieman is never referred to by anything other than a variation of his title.
• Heel Face Turn: Subverted. In the first generation's pilot special, the Pieman promised to be a good guy, and it seems like he will continue being that way. Come the second episode, and the Pieman reverts to his wicked ways, blaming his "evil conscience" for subjecting him to a Heel Face Door Slam and cementing his evil side. Played straight in the 2003 series, where he was taught a lesson.
• Made of Iron: The Peculiar Purple Pieman managed to squeeze his body through a tiny hose in the 1980's cartoon during the events of Housewarming Surprise. In reality, that would kill you.
• Not in Front of the Parrot: The Peculiar Purple Pieman apparently taught his Berry Bird minions speech by talking to them a lot. The birds get weaponised against him when Strawberry Shortcake sings a Berry Talk song and their ears pick it up, much to his dismay.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: In the first special where the Peculiar Purple Pieman made an appearance, he flooded Strawberryland with a rigged watering can, which exploded and sent water everywhere. He also ruins life in the Land of Dreams.
• Poke the Poodle: Whenever the Pieman does something mean, he tends to merely deprive the target of something important or dear to them, given the target audience.
• Revenge Before Reason: In Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Movie, the Pieman never had dreams (for some weird reason). Because of this, he storms the Land of Dreams and winds up screwing others over. Strawberry Shortcake stops his plans and saves the Land of Dreams (although she has a Heroic Blue Screen of Death after she fails once before getting picked back up by the other girls).
• Sore Loser/Tall Poppy Syndrome: In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, the Peculiar Purple Pieman reveals that his reason for ruining Strawberry Shortcake's life is because she is competition.
• Verbal Tic: The Pieman tries to say his name as dramatic as possible, and even includes his small song and dance in his signature.
• Visionary Villain: Although the Peculiar Purple Pieman has lofty dreams to conquer Strawberryland, he is inevitably going to fail.
• Weaksauce Weakness: You wouldn't think that Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Talk can take down bad guys, would you? Well, the Peculiar Purple Pieman had his plans foiled twice by that lingo!
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: The character's Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City design portrays him with purple hair.

Sour Grapes

Sour Grapes is one of the Peculiar Purple Pieman's partners, making her debut appearance in Pets on Parade. She was originally worse than the Pieman himself, but became a bit nicer in the 2003 series.

• Adaptational Jerkass: Inverted in the 2003 series; in the original series, Sour Grapes had a big criminal record. In the 2003 series, she is more willing to be the Team Mom of the gang.
• Age Lift: Inverted, she's the main characters' age in the 2009/2021 series.
• Anti-Villain: Presented as such in the 2003 series. She helps foil the Peculiar Purple Pieman's plot in one episode.
• Becoming the Mask: In Dancing in Disguise, Sour Grapes was sent to impersonate a dancing teacher, but she begins to embrace the new identity that the Pieman told her to take on during his raid; in the process she turns the tables on him by helping the gang replace the berries that the Pieman stole during his raid with flowers, which he finds worthless for making pies.
• Cain and Abel: In the 2003 cartoon, Sour Grapes is the Peculiar Purple Pieman's sister and nicer counterpart.
• Character Alignment: Sour Grapes started off Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil in the original cartoon (since she is a bit of a thug who steals things) and started to become more Lawful Neutral in the 2003 series.
• Didn't Think This Through: You do realize that combining every single scent to make the most irresistible perfume would be a bad idea, right, Sour Grapes? Every single scent includes trash!
• Evil Diva: Sour Grapes has a long, purple dress and opera gloves, and she's one of the bad guys.
• Feather Boa Constrictor: Sour Grapes has a pet snake named Dregs whose body she wears like a scarf.
• Freudian Excuse: In the movie, Sour Grapes claims that things would have turned out differently if she had a doll as a child.
• Genki Girl/Man Child: Despite her adult age, Sour Grapes can have childish traits, becoming rather infamous among the fandom for this.
• Hartman Hips: Sour Grapes has wide hips.
• Literal-Minded: Downplayed. While she does get into this sometimes, Sour Grapes isn't as much of an example.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: Sour Grapes has a dreadful voice when she yodels. The Peculiar Purple Pieman does not like this, and she makes sure to make his ears bleed from it when he tries to shift the blame for soiling Strawberry Shortcake's reputation among the gang onto Sour.
• Make Up Is Evil: In Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins, Sour Grapes combines multiple scents to make the most irresistible perfume on the planet, spawning a rotten-smelling cloud, so she kidnaps several Berrykins to get the scent right. The Strawberry Berrykin is not happy when he and Strawberry Shortcake find out.
• Not a Morning Person: The episode Queen for a Day reveals that Sour Grapes tends to get up at around noon, as shown when the Pieman asks when she gets up.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: In the original series, Sour Grapes might get her plans foiled from time to time, but she is shown to be more dangerous than the Pieman himself is, and she even boasts about having gotten away with crimes when he hasn't.
• One of the Kids: In the 2003 series, Sour Grapes gets closer to being friends with Strawberry Shortcake's friend group over time.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: In the 2003 series, Sour Grapes impersonates a dancing instructor named Rita Rutabaga to distract the gang while the Pieman robs them, but she gets so close to them that she foils his plans in the end.
• Related in the Adaptation: She's the Pieman's sister in the 2003 version. Averted since he doesn't exist in the 2009 and she is given a nice sister named Sweet Grapes.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Well, Sour Grapes herself isn't a reptile, but her pet snake Dregs is. Dregs was willing to help in her plan to condemn Strawberry Shortcake in the pet show in the third special of the original series, moving his lips in tandem to the music and lyrics.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: More like "What Happened to the Snake?," but Dregs only appears once in the 2003 cartoon.
• Would Hurt a Child: Sour Grapes is willing to screw the kids over in the original 1980's series, just like the Pieman himself was during his appearances in the first two generations.

Raisin Cane

Raisin Cane is a crony of the Peculiar Purple Pieman, who is her uncle. In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Raisin is featured as one of the members of the Berry Fairies.

• Adaptational Jerkass: Inverted in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, where Raisin Cane acts as the voice of reason for the Berry Fairies. She played it straight in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, which features her as a greedy and selfish girl who is over social media, and she will manipulate others into doing things that make her presence on the internet more pronounced.
• Anti-Villain: While her uncle and his partner Sour Grapes wholeheartedly want to screw Strawberry Shortcake over, Raisin Cane shows some gold in her heart and is torn between screwing Strawberry Shortcake over and befriending her in her original appearances.
• Canon Immigrant: Raisin Cane managed to become a character featured in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.
• Character Alignment: Raisin Cane was Lawful Evil in her first appearance and became Neutral Evil in Berry Bitty Adventures. In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, she is more Neutral Good, Lawful Good, or Lawful Neutral, having standards and being the nicest person in the Berry Fairies band.
• Daddy's Little Villain: Raisin Cane is a niece of the Peculiar Purple Pieman, if not the only one, and she helps him sometimes.
• Gender Flip: Is typically shown as a girl. In the 2021 series, they are non-binary.
• Gonk: In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Raisin Cane has a square chin that you would not expect pretty girls to have and an unusual nose design. Downplayed as the character still looks quite nice.
• Name of Cain: Raisin Cane derives her name from the phrase "to raise Cain." which means "to cause trouble."
• Odango Hair: Raisin Cane has her hair in buns in Berry in the Big City.
• Rage Breaking Point: Raisin Cane flips out because her boss fails to treat the band nicely and weasels her way out of rehersals.

That's it! You don't rehearse, you're mean, and WE do all the work!

• Vocal Dissonance: In Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Raisin Cane has a lower-pitched voice, being voiced by Justin Saint.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Raisin Cane has purple hair in the first generation and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. In Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, she has magenta hair.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: A rare case where the superior gets struck by an inferior. Sherry Bobbleberry treated her band like trash, but rather than turning around to make amends, she decided to quit on them when called out on it. Raisin Cane decides that the Berry Fairies don't need Sherry for their performance and that Cherry Jam can replace her.

Introduced in the 2003 series

Ginger Snap

Ginger Snap is a new character for the 2003 series. Snap is best known for her way with machines, and is a bit of a tomboy. She does however have a phobia towards darkness, which once got her in a sticky situation.

• Ambiguously Brown: Did American Greetings make Ginger Snap Hispanic or semi-African American? The former is more likely, though.
• Brainy Brunette: Ginger Snap is a valuable asset to the gang due to this. She knows her way with machines, can made complex things, and is the smartest.
• Character Alignment: Ginger Snap tends towards Neutral Good, being generally good.
• Character Tic: Ginger Snap has a habit of snapping her fingers.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Gets the boot during the transition to Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures because Hasbro has a healthy snacks policy and they thought that she represented an unhealthy snack.
• Gadgeteer Genius/Wrench Wench: Ginger Snap has a knack with machines.
• Girlish Pigtails: Her hair is tied in short pigtails.
• Tomboy: Somewhat. She has a boyish getup, likes working with machines, and was introduced to prevent a Girl Show Ghetto, but there are times when she gives into her feminine side.
• Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?: Because of her nyctophobia, Ginger Snap started with absolute hatred for darkness and shadows. It serves as a plot point in Ginger Snap's No-Light Night of Fright, where she feigns being uninvited and lies about not getting the invites and then resorts playing sick just to get out of a camping trip and brings along a load of flashlights when she gets dragged in anyway.

Rainbow Sherbet

This character made her debut in "The Costume Party," where she tries to befriend the gang, but Peppermint Fizz tries to give her the boot for being different.

• All Your Colors Combined/Everything's Better with Rainbows: Rainbow Sherbet has a colourful outfit, much like an actual rainbow.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Rainbow Sherbet is quite happy to meet the gang as she welcomes them on her boat with all of them giving her "Welcome to Strawberryland" Presents, but Peppermint Fizz isn't happy with Rainbow for being different, to the point where she tries to get the latter booted. Strawberry Shortcake promptly gets her revenge by making a costume party where everyone dresses the same and Fizz gets (temporarily) bamboozled as to who is who as a result.
• Tomboy: Rainbow Sherbet is a tomboy who loves sailing.
• Verbal Tic: Befitting how she is a sailor, Rainbow Sherbet tends to use sailor slang whenever she talks. Her greeting, for instance, is "ahoy" rather than the regular "hello" that Strawberry Shortcake uses.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Rainbow Sherbet has purple hair.

Coco Calypso

This kid made her debut in "The Mystery of Seaberry Beach." She and Seaberry Delight are close friends.

• The Aloner: Coco is at first presented to be solitary, but the other girls visit her to help her solve a mystery on who could be stealing her seaberries. Then Seaberry Delight shows up and the gang believes that she could be the culprit, but it turns out that Coco had been stealing the berries from Seaberry herself. Strawberry Shortcake suggests that Coco and Seaberry should be friends.

Peppermint Fizz

This girl was created for the 2003 generation, making her debut in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve." She would later appear in a few more episodes. She at first started rude, but Strawberry Shortcake helped her reform.

• Alpha Bitch: When she first appeared, Peppermint Fizz was given this character trait. Strawberry Shortcake helped her outgrow it.
• Anti-Hero: The first few episodes to have Peppermint Fizz portrayed her in a negative light, though she outgrew her Alpha Bitch tendencies.
• Character Alignment: Peppermint Fizz started off Chaotic Neutral but shifted towards Chaotic Good or Neutral Good.
• Cheaters Never Prosper/My God, What Have I Done?/Pyrrhic Victory: Peppermint Fizz cheats in "Win Some, Lose Some," but feels bad after Strawberry Shortcake commends Apple Dumplin' for being a good sport.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Peppermint Fizz gets booted from the roster thanks to Hasbro's healthy snacks policy, and she hasn't made any appearances since. Cherry Jam took Peppermint Fizz's place in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures.
• Failed a Spot Check: Peppermint Fizz, if you wanted to tell who was who, just look at the back of the person's head during that party that Strawberry Shortcake and her buddies were throwing to teach you a lesson.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Peppermint Fizz starts off inverting the trope, but eventually plays it straight.
• Persona Non Grata: Fizz does this to Rainbow Sherbet for being different.
• Tomboy: Peppermint Fizz is one of the butchiest girls. She even gets a Tomboyish Ponytail for the fourth season.
• Took a Level In Kindness: Peppermint Fizz starts off a nasty character, but her personality shifted towards a kinder, more positive light near the end.

Seaberry Delight

This girl looks like a mermaid due to her trousers looking like a tail.

• Character Alignment: Seaberry is neutral or good in alignment.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Seaberry is a blonde in her debut episode, but starts averting this trope when she appears in the 2007 Playmates Toys series, which gives her blue hair instead.
• Vocal Dissonance: Seaberry seems to have an adult voice for her age. Justified as she was voiced by someone who was 18 when the character debuted. A Berry Fairy named spring who predates Seaberry by nearly two years shares this trait with her.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Seaberry Delight averted this when she made her debut, but in the Playmates series, she has blue hair, making her a literal example.

Raspberry Torte

Raspberry Torte is the 2003 counterpart to Raspberry Tart from the original series, making her debut in Mind Your Manners. Torte is known best for her tomboyish demeanor and athleticism, though she comes across as rough and crass. Strawberry Shortcake teaches her a lesson, though, making Raspberry Torte reform. Raspberry Torte has made appearances in scenes from future episodes, though she had more of a minor role in them. She plays a good part in the movie. A raccoon named Rhubarb is her pet, though he didn't get animated.

• Adaptation Name Change: Her counterpart from the 1980's is Raspberry Tart.
• Character Alignment: Since she is a good person, but can be rude or crass which can cause others to get cross with her, Chaotic Good is what Raspberry Torte would be most likely classified as.
• Demoted to Extra: Raspberry Torte gets booted to the sidelines in Season 4, though she does make appearances.
• Identical Stranger: A similar-looking tennis player can be found in Growing Up Dreams. It's not likely she's Raspberry Torte herself; Torte is a tomboy, so she would have shorts in her tennis getup.
• Jabba Table Manners: When she first appeared, Raspberry Torte had bad manners. Near the end, she outgrows them.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Can be somewhat a jerkass, but her heart is good in the long run. Lemon Meringue is also her Morality Pet.
• Out-of-Character Moment: Raspberry Torte, you are a tomboy, so why did you pick a dress to go to the tea party that Strawberry Shortcake set up, instead of a tuxedo? (To be fair, though, she may not have had the time to get one, or may have been forced to wear a dress.)
• Passionate Sports Girl: Raspberry Torte has her mind on sports.
• Tomboy: Raspberry Torte is a generally rough girl who plays sports. She even sports a Tomboyish Ponytail.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: She is the tomboy to this Lemon Meringue's girly girl.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Raspberry Torte has purple/magenta hair.

Tea Blossom

Almond Tea's counterpart in the 2003 series. Tea Blossom made her debut in A Festival of Friends.

• Adaptation Name Change: Tea Blossom is the counterpart of the character Almond Tea from the original.
• Character Alignment: Tea Blossom is most likely True Neutral, Neutral Good, or Lawful Neutral. She is definitely not evil and we don't see her sowing chaos, but she isn't "Lawful Good" per se.
• Odango Hair: Tea Blossom has her hair in buns.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Tea Blossom has dark blue hair.

Frosty Puff

This girl makes her home in Niceland (a parody of Iceland).

• Character Alignment: Considering she is nice, Frosty Puff would be classified as "good."
• Demoted to Extra: Frosty Puff's only appearances for the fourth season are in the introduction.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Frosty Puff shows this literally with light blue hair.

The Berry Fairies

• Character Alignment:
  • Chaotic Neutral: Margalo B. Berryglow is more free-spirited than the rest.
  • Lawful Evil: Periwinkle is willing to follow the law, but she is a jerk to Strawberry Shortcake and Ginger Snap.
  • Lawful Good: The Berry Fairy Queen is a lawful being, but she cares for her people.
  • Neutral Good: Sherry Bobbleberry is a good person, not necessarily lawful or chaotic. Spring the fairy is also this.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: Sherry Bobbleberry means well to her host, but is a klutz, and she worries that this will prevent her from being promoted.
• Heel Face Turn: Margalo B. Berryglow at first lies that her wing was damaged but then changes for the better when that lie comes crumbling down. After she redeems herself, Margalo gets many more friends, one of whom flies at the camera.
• Rich Bitch: Margalo B. Berryglow starts off as this before she changes for the better.
• Vocal Dissonance: Spring sounds like an adult despite her apparent young age. She and Seaberry Delight (who would come around 2 years after her) share this trait.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Sherry Bobbleberry has purple hair.
• Your Size May Vary: Spring and the Berry Fairies in Sleeping Beauty have a bigger body frame than other fairies, who are small enough to fit in your hand (albeit still bigger than the 2009 characters). Whether they can change size or the writers have not settled on a size at the time hasn't been confirmed.

Banana Candy

Banana Candy is the mayor of Banana Boro.

• Gadgeteer Genius/Wrench Wench: Banana Candy is a genius, knowing her way with machines.
• Ineffectual Loner: When she first appears, Banana Candy tries to get Strawberry Shortcake stranded by screwing the engine up. Shortcake forgives her and Candy fixes the engine and joins the party.

Annie Oatmeal

• Aerith and Bob: Downplayed. Annie is a normal name for humans, but Annie Oatmeal really derives her name from an oatmeal brand.
• Character Alignment: Annie Oatmeal is generally Neutral Good.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Annie is exclusive to the 2003 cartoon.
• Expy/Punny Name: Annie Oatmeal gets her design and name from the real-life sharpshooter Annie Oakley.
• Tomboy: Annie shows no sign of femininity. She even has a Tomboyish Ponytail.
• Toyless Toyline Character: Annie failed to get a doll designed after herself.

Caramel Corn

• Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral, most likely.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Caramel Corn has inventions all over her farm. She is a farm girl who can make machines.
• Tomboy

Cinderella characters

These characters appear in the episode The Play's The Thing.

Cinderella

Cinderella is the heroine of the story Cinderella. Despite being hampered by the deeds that her wicked stepmother and stepsisters commit, Cinderella wants to go to the ball.

• Butt Monkey: Just like her original incarnation, Cinderella gets the short end of the stick at first.
• Cain and Abel: Cinderella is Abel, being a nice person, while her stepsisters are Cain, being more demanding.
• Character Alignment: Lawful Good or Neutral Good.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Despite the hardships that she faced, Cinderella gets what she wanted in the end.
• Heroic Blue Screen of Death: Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother puts her in this state by destroying a dress that Cinderella picked for the ball.
• You Don't Look Like You: Is that Strawberry Shortcake in a costume?

Cinderella's Stepmother

The Big Bad of Cinderella.

• Character Alignment: The Stepmother is generally Lawful Evil, being very controlling and abusive to her stepdaughter.
• Character Derailment/Character Rerailment: The stepmother gets cast into a good alignment before getting reverted back to the cruel woman that she originally was. Thanks, Angel Cake.
• Kick the Dog: The Wicked Stepmother destroys the dress that Cindrella picked as hers.
• Retcon: While she retains the role of Wicked Stepmother, the Stepmother no longer has true daughters. The stepsisters are now the Stepmother's stepdaughters instead due to a Race Lift.
• Wicked Stepmother: The Wicked Stepmother abuses Cinderella.
• You Don't Look Like You: Blueberry Muffin, is that you?

Cinderella's Stepsisters

• Cain and Abel: Cinderella is Abel, the stepsisters are Cain.
• Character Alignment: Generally Neutral Evil.
• Character Derailment/Character Rerailment: The stepsisters get cast into a good alignment in the first run before getting reverted back to the cruel girls that they originally were.
• Race Lift/Retcon/You Don't Look Like You: The stepsisters have darker skin than their story's origin would suggest. This would also make them additional stepdaughters to the Wicked Stepmother herself.

Characters from The Wizard of Oz

These characters are featured in Berry Brick Road. Strawberry Shortcake winds up whisked to their land when she gets caught in a storm.

The Wizard

Don't ya see? You've already shown you have plenty of courage, heart, and brains!

This guy debuted as the titular character of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. There, he is a magician who fooled the witches into thinking that he is a real wizard. Here, his backstory is scrubbed out, but his façade remains intact. Strawberry Shortcake seeks him to return to her homeland after she gets abducted by a storm, and a living scarecrow, an animated tin lumberjack statue, and a lion with fear issues join her.

• Adaptation Distillation: The Wizard has his backstory distilled.
• All for Nothing: Subverted. The gang wanted to see the wizard so that the Scarecrow could get a brain so he would not be so forgeful, the Tin Woodsman would have a heart so he would not be so rude, and the Cowardly Lion would not be as much of a coward. Then it turns out that the Wizard was just some guy who wanted to be more than an ordinary person, but the gang still gets their requests fulfilled, and Strawberry Shortcake finds that she can dance to make the magic shoes send her home.
• Broken Pedestal: Seeing his true form does not please Strawberry Shortcake, to say the least. Fortunately, she gets over her anger quickly, allowing him to go on with his talk with the gang.

This wizard had some explaining to do! —Pupcake

• Character Alignment: Despite the above Broken Pedestal moment, the Wizard is Lawful Good or Neutral Good, being helpful and just with his client.
• Identical Stranger: He looks no different than Huckleberry Pie.
• Jump Scare: Tries to deliver one in his introduction scene, just like his original incarnation did. It botches.

Who are you, and what do you want with the wizard!? (Toto knocks over the cover that the Wizard was hiding behind. The Wizard exits his booth confused.)

• Miles Gloriosus: Pupcake claims that the wizard wanted to be more than "just a kid."
• Vocal Dissonance: He has a higher-pitched voice.
• You Don't Look Like You: The wizard has had his design revamped to look just like Huckleberry Pie.

Glinda the Good Witch

Glinda traces her origin to L. Frank Burn's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and like in that book, she and Gladys the Wicked Witch are enemies, even though they are sisters. Glinda appears in Berry Brick Road, where she appears briefly in the first segment with a minor role and the second segment gives her a bigger role where she identifies a problem and even helps out.

• Cain and Abel/Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: Glinda is the nicer sister who does good, while Gladys commits evil actions.
• Character Alignment: Glinda is Lawful Good.
• Princesses Rule: Glinda is a princess ruling Oz. Where ARE her parents?
• Small Role, Big Impact: Strawberry Shortcake just needed to tap-dance to get back to her home using the shoes that she got when Gladys dropped them. Hadn't Glinda revealed this, the trip home would've been long.
• The Good King: More like "The Good Queen." Glinda treats her subjects kindly and helps the heroes out.
• You Don't Look Like You: Glinda looks more like Plum Puddin' dressed like a queen or princess. She also wears a purple and light green dress, when she originally had a pink one.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Glinda has purple hair.

The Scarecrow

Hm.... If one of us could climb that tree, we could find a way out of here!

This character is a guest star character who hails from The Wizard of Oz. He is an animated scarecrow who wants to look for a real brain, as he feels like his straw brain is too faulty for him to hold his memory.

• Adaptation Distillation: The scarecrow's igniphobia (fear or hatred of fire) is Adapted Out.
• Brainy Brunette: It helps that Ginger Snap has been infused with his character, as she is one herself. Do not get fooled by his forgetfulness! He is quite smart.
• Character Alignment: The Scarecrow's alignment can generally be classified as Neutral Good, as the Scarecrow goes out of his way to help his friends.
• Failed a Spot Check: Inverted when the Tin Woodsman makes his debut. Strawberry Shortcake is the one who thinks the Woodsman's a statue, though the Scarecrow has his doubts.

I don't think it's a statue.

• Forgetful Jones: This is the reason why the Scarecrow wants his brain replaced with a real one. He even brings it up several times.

I can't remember a thing! There's nothing but straw in here!

• In Touch with his Feminine Side: Has longer versions of Ginger Snap's pigtails coming out of his head, reaching down to his waist.
• Meaningful Name: He is a scarecrow.
• Took a Level In Dumbass: Inverted. The Scarecrow showed signs of getting smarter since his debut.
• Vocal Dissonance: The Scarecrow has a high-pitched voice despite his original incarnation lacking that high of a pitch.
• You Don't Look Like You: His outfit is replaced with Ginger Snap's coat, top, and jeans. And that leaves out his change in complexion, hair colour, and hairstyle.

The Tin Woodsman

I'm sorry. It's true I can be rude sometimes, because... I don't have a heart, you see?

Like the Scarecrow, this guy, alternatively known as "Nick Chopper," originated from the Oz franchise. He was formerly a Munchkin who got turned into an animated statue of tin. The Tin Woodsman is easily paralysed by water, but that can be undone by lubricating his joints with oil. Strawberry Shortcake and the Scarecrow meet him while they pass by the woods, and free him from his fate.

• Adaptation Distillation: The name Nick Chopper (the Woodsman's true name from his home franchise) has been lost during the transplant.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Since Peppermint Fizz has been infused with his character (She herself can be a jerk.), he is more prone to being rude, such as calling out the Scarecrow for wanting a real brain.

"You can't just ASK him for a brain! That's not very smart!"

• And I Must Scream: Being adapted into a family-friendly show failed to save him from this, but Strawberry Shortcake lubricates his joints to end his paralysis.
• Attack Reflector: He reflects the spell that the Wicked Witch of the West casts at the gang with his own body as per the Scarecrow's plan.
• Character Alignment: The Tin Woodsman is Neutral Good, being generally good, but not necessarily "lawful" or "chaotic."
• Meaningful Name: This guy is a lumberjack who has a body made of tin.
• That's No Moon: Is mistaken for a statue by Strawberry Shortcake during his debut scene. The Scarecrow senses something more when the "statue" moves.

I don't think it's a statue. —The Scarecrow.

• Took a Level in Kindness: Despite his aforementioned Adaptational Jerkass property, he does get better in character.
• Vocal Dissonance: The Tin Woodsman has a higher-pitched voice than his original incarnation.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Downplayed as the Tin Woodsman does not raise his voice, but the guy's reaction to the Scarecrow revealing a desire for a real brain is to say that that is not very smart, leading to the quote in Adaptational Jerkass.
• You Don't Look Like You: The Tin Woodsman looks more like some strawberry-blond-haired kid in a costume and certain parts of his body now have a pattern akin to a candy cane as well as his axe.

The Cowardly Lion

We're never gonna get out of here! We're doomed, doomed! Doomed, I tell ya!

This character is one of the three companions from The Wizard of Oz. Just like there, he is a lion who is cowardly, so he decides to go to see the wizard to get some bravery.

• Character Alignment: Since he is a good guy, the Cowardly Lion is most likely Neutral Good.
• Cowardly Lion: He is one, of course, being the Trope Namer and all. While his debut scene showed him being scared, his cowardice more or less went away later. The Tin Woodsman is not happy following his discovery that this lion was a coward despite his leonine nature.

What kind of lion are you? —The Tin Woodsman

• Heroic Blue Screen of Death: Getting trapped in the woods really did a number on his confidence, but it came back.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: The Cowardly Lion has a hair bow tied to his tail and another in his mane.
• The Load: Believes that he is this, but turns out to be much better.
• Meaningful Name: Is a lion, but he is cowardly.
• Oxymoronic Being: Lions are typically portrayed as a symbol of courage.
• Talking Animal: Is capable of speech.
• Took a Level In Badass: Went from being a wimp to being considerably brave.
• Vocal Dissonance: Has as high-pitched of a voice as Orange Blossom does, despite the fact that they are quite obviously not the same sex.
• You Don't Look Like You: Aside from being bipedal like his counterpart from the film version of The Wizard of Oz, the Cowardly Lion now has a face similar to Orange Blossom. His main is also spiked with braids or dreadlocks.

Gladys the Wicked Witch of the West

Aka "Gladys," this character comes from the series The Wizard of Oz, serving as the Big Bad of Berry Brick Road. Gladys is the sister of Glinda, but uses her magic for ill intent. She has a pair of magic slippers that Strawberry Shortcake unwittingly steals from her after she crashes her house nearby, so Gladys hunts down Strawberry Shortcake to get them back. Gladys is also responsible for endangering the Gem Berries as she zapped them.

• Bad Boss: In her debut scene, Gladys mistreats three Munchkins, which have been called "Berrykins."
• Big Bad: Gladys is this of Berry Brick Road, plaguing both segments.
• Cain and Abel/Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: Gladys and Glinda are sisters and Gladys is mean while Glinda is nice.
• Character Alignment: Gladys is either Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil. Her flying monkey minion is probably Lawful Evil.
• Disintegrator Ray: Gladys uses her wand to destroy the Gem Berries this way.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: The Wicked Witch of the West tries to petrify the gang, but the Tin Woodsman reflects her spell back with his own body.
• Taken for Granite: Gladys tries to do this to the heroes by firing a magic blast at them from her wand. She gets subjected to it instead when the Tin Woodsman bounces it back.
• You Don't Look Like You: Gladys suspiciously looks a lot like Sour Grapes...
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Purple, actually.

Sleeping Beauty Characters

These characters appear in the episode Sleeping Beauty.

Princess Strawberry Rose

This girl is the titular Sleeping Beauty from the novel of the same name. Just like in the original story, Princess Strawberry Rose gets knocked out cold, but this time, her unconsciousness comes from a brambleberry bush.

• Adaptation Distillation: The original Sleeping Bueaty and Aurora were knocked out cold by pricking their fingers on a spinning wheel's spindle. Princess Strawberry Rose gets knocked out cold while she tries to pick brambleberries that the Brambleberry Fairy used to lure her into a trap.
• Adaptation Name Change: Princess Strawberry Rose was named Aurora for the Disney version and had no name in the original.
• Bowdlerise: The Sleeping Beauty was going to die hadn't the good fairies intervened when her finger was pricked. Here, the curse was that Strawberry Rose would just... disappear.
• Character Alignment: Princess Strawberry Rose would be Lawful Good since she is a kind ruler.
• Dude, She's Like, in a Coma: Princess Strawberry Rose falls unconscious when she picks brambleberries and accidentally brushes up against a bush. Just as the Brambleberry Fairy had planned as per her revenge scheme.
• Princesses Rule: Princess Strawberry Rose's parents are nowhere to be seen, so the fairies that appear raise her. Then again, Strawberry Rose's parents could be off-screen.
• The Good King: More like "The Good Queen," but Princess Strawberry Rose rules with love, kindness, and compassion. One has to wonder what fate the Brambleberry Fairy would've suffered for what she did had Princess Strawberry Rose been a jerk.
• Turn the Other Cheek: Princess Strawberry Rose decides to forgive the Brambleberry Fairy for the mess instead of punishing her when she finally confronts the latter a second time.
• You Don't Look Like You: Princess Strawberry Rose has magenta hair that gets arranged in a different cut to what she had originally (now matching the original Strawberry Shortcake's haircut), and she has a strawberry motif.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Princess Strawberry Rose has magenta hair atop her head.

The Berry Fairies (Sleeping Beauty)

A bigger Berry Fairy variant from Sleeping Beauty. These berry fairies share their designs with various canon characters from the Strawberry Shortcake series.

• Character Alignment: The fairies are mostly Lawful Good.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The Angelberry Fairy is a blonde just like her basis.
• Identical Stranger: The fairies mimic several characters in their designs:
  • The Angelberry Fairy mimics Angel Cake.
  • The Gingerberry Fairy has Ginger Snap's pigtails, though longer and reaching her waist.
  • The Rainbowberry Fairy has Rainbow Sherbet's design but does not inherit her sailor slang.
  • The Orangeberry Fairy has Orange Blossom's skin complexion and hair colour but her hair is tied in braids, not afro puffs.
  • The Appleberry Fairy is an exception, being based on Apple Dumplin' but seeming the same age as most of the kids.

Prince Huckleberry

This prince is the one who convinces the Brambleberry Fairy to become a more listening character; due to his lecture, she begins her redemption arc.

• Character Alignment: Lawful Good
• Made of Plasticine: Downplayed; he doesn't die, but Prince Huckleberry logically shouldn't have flown that far when the Brambleberry Fairy smacked his face with her wings.
• You Don't Look Like You: Prince Huckleberry originally looked dissimilar to Huckleberry Pie in terms of his hair and stature.

Introduced in the 2009 series

Cherry Jam

Cherry Jam is a pop singer who decides to settle in Berry Bitty City.

• Adaptational Wimp: In Berry in the Big City, Cherry Jam has confidence issues that her Berry Bitty Adventures self lacked.
• American Accents: Cherry Jam has a southern accent despite her apparent Asian heritage. Her southern accent seems to disappear sometimes, though.
• Celebrity Is Overrated/I Just Want to Be Normal: While she is popular, Cherry Jam shows shades of wishing to just be a normie.
• Character Alignment: Cherry Jam is a Neutral Good character, generally being sweet and kind.
• Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Sometimes Cherry Jam has a southern drawl, sometimes she doesn't.
• Rage Breaking Point: Cherry Jam hits this in Dance Puppy Dance when a song that she made goes viral and annoys her to the point that she yells at her friends.
• Tomboy: Cherry Jam becomes one in Strawberrry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, where she has a more masculine getup aside from the fairy wings that this branch's Sherry Bobbleberry makes her wear. Downplayed as she isn't as rough as you would expect stereotypical tomboys to be.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Raisin Cane suggests that Cherry Jam can sing because the latter "writes the songs," Cherry Jam is worried that she might mess up. Strawberry Shortcake proceeds to tell Cherry Jam that she, Raisin Cane, and Peppermint believe that Cherry Jam will do great. They're proven right.
• You Don't Look Like You: Cherry Jam has a largely different design when she returns in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, sporting a shirt and trousers and having a cherry tattoo on one cheek.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Cherry Jam has dark purple-blue hair crowning her head in Berry Bitty Adventures. In Berry in the Big City, she has dark pink hair.

Introduced in the 2021 series

Bread Pudding

This guy is a new character for Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City. He made his debut in the second episode (or rather, the second segment of the first episode), where Strawberry Shortcake accidentally runs into him when she gets her food truck. Her friends prevent him from enacting his punishment by improving the truck. After the first season, he becomes better.

• Caustic Critic: Bread Pudding was very... erm... BERRY hard to please during his first appearances, making him one of Strawberry Shortcake's first obstacles to overcome. This gets toned down after Raspberry Tart becomes Strawberry Shortcake's friend and Bread Pudding has his own Heel Face Turn.
• Character Alignment: Bread Pudding's adherence to order in the Berryworks would land him squarely in Lawful Neutral. Later, Bread Pudding gets Lawful Good tendencies due to his Heel Face Turn.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Invoked when Bread Pudding has his Heel Face Turn and becomes nicer, but still downplayed as Bread Pudding's hair is actually a mixture of yellow and brown in colour.
• Heel Face Turn/Took a Level In Kindness: Starting from the second season, Bread Pudding has his Caustic Critic traits toned down.
• Jerkass: During the first season.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Later, Bread Pudding had his nastier traits toned down, to the point where he is willing to befriend Strawberry Shortcake.
• Rules Lawyer: Bread Pudding carries a paper that contains the Berryworks' guidelines, and if he sees someone who breaks them, he will go after them.

The Mechanic (Lemon Meringue?)

This girl is a mechanic who was conceived for the 2021 series. Fans were not pleased due to her position as a counterpart to Lemon Meringue, but she is a valuable asset to the core Berry Circle. Lime Chiffon works alongside her to make lemonade at the Lemon-Lime Time Cart. She is called "Lemon Zest" in Berry Bounty Banquet.

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: The mechanic is not happy when her father shows up in Berry Bounty Bolt dressed as a turkey as his way of "Getting into the [Thanksgiving] spirit."
• Character Alignment: The mechanic is Chaotic Good, as while she does like to help, she can get a little crazy which can cause her to do something weird, so she isn't exactly "Lawful."
• Extreme Omnivore/Paste Eater: The mechanic eats some cupcakes that have been spiked with cat food even when she is told not to in "It's My Purr-ty." Lime Chiffon is not happy.

Lemon, stop eating those! —Lime Chiffon

• Gadgeteer Genius/Wrench Wench: Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City portrays this woman with a knack for machines.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: This mechanic is a blonde, and she helps others. However, this is offset by the fact that the mechanic can be antisocial at times, and she can get a little crazy with her "Lemonventions."
• Hates Being Touched: Hugged, actually.
• In Name Only: "The name's Lemon Meringue!" Ya sure? You don't look the part, madame.
• In-Series Nickname: The mechanic builds things that tend to be called "lemonventions," named after her fruit theme.
• Irrational Hatred: Pink, getting hugged, public speeches, and Sweetie Pie's Day (their version of Valentine's Day) are relatively harmless things on their own, and yet this lady hates them. To be fair with public speeches, she can be introverted.
• Mad Scientist: Benign variant. She may be a good guy, but the mechanic can be a little crazy. She also dresses up as one for Halloween in Scaryoke.
• Talk to the Fist: In "Let's go to the movies," a misogynic fat man shows his dislike for the new Tangerine Smash movie, so the mechanic decides to stop the man's antics with a Toxic Boxer, which delivers a stretchy punch. However, even Orange Blossom considers this Disproportionate Retribution.
• The Smart Guy: Don't be fooled by her hair! This lady is a smart one who knows how to deal with machines!
• Tomboy: In contrast to the Lemon Meringues from previous generations, this woman has no interest in fashion, and she hates getting hugged. She is also a wrench wench.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The mechanic is the tomboy to Lime Chiffon's Girly Girl.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: This woman has a hatred for pink, Sweetie Pie's Day (their version of Valentine's Day), public speeches, and getting hugged.

The Cake-inator

This character is a robot who was created by the mechanic to help Strawberry Shortcake in Robot Strawberry.

• Accidental Murder/A.I. Is a Crapshoot/Diabolus Ex Machina: The Cake-inator meets her untimely demise when she is called out by Strawberry Shortcake for being too much of a perfectionist. Made of Explodium and Ash Face: the result.

Strawberry Shortcake touch does not compute! (Glitches out as she dies before blowing up.)

• Berserk Button: The Cake-inator will not tolerate blemishes.
• Character Alignment: The Cake-inator is either Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, or unaligned, since she follows instructions to the letter.
• Gone Horribly Right: The Cake-inator helps a little too much, more than she was intended to, sending Strawberry Shortcake into self-doubt.
• Gone Horribly Wrong: Reasoning with the Cake-inator kills her. See Weaksauce Weakness.
• Made of Explodium: The Cake-inator explodes when she dies.
• Riddle for the Ages: The Cake-inator is called the "Cake-inator Six" when she is introduced. If that's true, what happened to her prototypes?
• Robot: Is a robot clone of Strawberry Shortcake herself.
• Spell My Name with an "S": Is her name spelt "Cake-inator?" "Cakeanator?" "Cakenator?"
• Weaksauce Weakness: See Accidental Murder and Gone Horribly Wrong. The Cake-inator is slain by mentioning the Strawberry Shortcake touch.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She has pink hair. Justified as she is a robot. (Then again, Strawberry Shortcake serves as the Cake-inator's design basis.)

Lemon Tort & Lime Tart

These women made their debut in LemonLime Back in Time, more specifically in a flashback. They were the former partners of the mechanic and Lime Chiffon, respectively.

• Ambiguously Brown: Is Lime Tart, Hispanic, African American, or a mix between the two?
• Berserk Button:
  • Lime Tart considers "chaos" to be hers. She is outraged when she finds that Lime Chiffon is not listening to her when stacking the limes. Then when Lime builds a sculpture that resembles the Thinker, Lime Tart decides that she has had enough because "this is chaos" and "she can't work with no rules."
  • Lemon Tort takes pride in her genius. When she sprays a customer and someone admonishes her for it, Lemon Tort flips out and decides to quit.
• Character Alignment: Lime Tart is Lawful Neutral, due to her habit of making many rules and her high standards to the point of being Lawful Stupid sometimes. Lemon Tort is Chaotic Neutral. She may be a jerk to those near her, but she isn't outright evil. She is also nuts.
• Dirty Coward: After her customer places his order and she sprays him down and Orange Blossom tells her to turn it down, Lemon Tort suddenly decides to quit over her genius being "totally unappreciated" at the Berryworks.
• Evil Counterpart: Downplayed as they are not evil, but the two are more likely to screw someone over with their antics.
• Evil Versus Evil: In Parking Problems, the two get into a brawl regarding the name of their cart's upgrade.
• Gadgeteer Genius/Wrench Wench: Lemon Tort knows her way with machines, but lets this go to her head. When she sprays a customer with some lemonade and Orange Blossom tells her to "turn it down," Lemon Tort reacts in anger. Lemon Tort also decides to quit since she feels like "her genius is totally underappreciated" at the Berryworks.
• Gale Force Sound: Lime Tart knocks over the limes stacked by Lime Chiffon with her declaration that she is quitting.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Lemon Tort inverts this, being a rude blonde, further cementing her rivalry with the mechanic.
• Jerkass: Lemon Tort can be rude and crass, while Lime Tart can be over-demanding. In Parking Problems, they put Strawberry Shortcake in the shade, but get their asses handed to them when Blueberry Muffin makes a new Ice Cream flavour.
• No Indoor Voice: Lemon Tort tends to shout her lines.
• Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: Lime Tart and the mechanic fit this bill; the former is snobby and feminine, while the latter is a friendly tomboy. Lemon Torte and Lime Chiffon invert this trope, though; Lemon Torte is a rude tomboy, but Lime Chiffon is a nice girly girl.
• The Perfectionist: Lime Tart can be quite picky with how one should arrange his limes. She uses this as an excuse to quit.
• The Rival: Lime Tart is Lime Chiffon's rival, Lemon Torte is the rival of Lime's partner.
• Those Two Guys: Lemon Tort and Lime Tart tend to be seen together now, further cementing their position as the rivals of the mechanic and Lime Chiffon.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Lemon Tort is the tomboy while Lime Tart has the girlier personality.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Lime Tart has dark green hair.

The Berry Fairies (band)

Sherry Bobbleberry

Not to be confused with the Berry Fairy of the same name, Sherry Bobbleberry in this generation is the face of the Berry Fairies band.

• Character Alignment: Sherry Bobbleberry was at first thought to be True Neutral, but her alignment turned out to be Lawful Jerkass, due to her controlling personality and nasty tendencies.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Sherry has a bad temper.
• It's All About Me/Narcissist: Sherry pops out more in the posters of her band. Sometimes, she fails to put the rest on the posters at all. Be careful; even if you see her acting nice, it's just a façade. Fortunately, she isn't as much of a jerk as the Peculiar Purple Pieman is.
• Jerkass/Mean Boss: Sherry has a bad habit of belittling her band-mates, something that Raisin Cane brings up at her Rage Breaking Point when she hears that "Sherry is too busy making her bandmates sound good." Unfortunately, Sherry shoots her down and threatens to quit instead of making amends.
• Lazy Bum: Come on, Sherry! Would you die rehearsing!?
• You Have Failed Me: Sherry calls her band-mates garbage before the rehearsal in Find Your Voice, kicking off the plot.

"Garbage! You're all garbage!"

• • Actually, she is put on both ends, getting on the receiving end when called out by Raisin Cane.

"That's it! You don't rehearse! You're mean! And WE do all the work!" —Raisin Cane on Sherry's chronic inferior-bashing tendencies.

Peppermint

Peppermint is a character who was first seen on television in Best New Year's EVER!

• Character Alignment: Peppermint leans close to Neutral Good due to her kindness.
• Nice Guy: More like "Nice Girl," but Peppermint has kind, compassionate traits.
• Token Minority: Peppermint is the only nonwhite character to be part of the Berry Fairies.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Redheads do exist but not with hair that has the same shade that Peppermint has. She also has some green hair, too.

Antagonists

Johnnycake Cobbler

This guy made his debut in his titular episode, "Johnnycake Cobbler's Sensational Sweetening Spritz," where he acts as the main villain.

• Armor-Piercing Question: Johnnycake is defeated due to his failure to answer Strawberry Shortcake's questions about Berryville, where she spent a large part of her childhood.
• Character Alignment: Considering his unethical practices, Johnnycake seems to be qualified for Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil.
• Monster of the Week: Johnnycake's sole appearance in "Johnnycake Cobbler's Sensational Sweetening Spritz" casts him as the main antagonist.
• Red Baron: "Swindling Salesman," from an alternate title for "Johnnycake Cobbler's Sensational Sweetening Spritz."
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Johnnycake flees the scene after his plain fails.
• Snake Oil Salesman: Hence his title as the "Swindling Salesman," Johnnycake Cobbler commits fraud to keep his job.

Disruptive Moviegoer

You're just being rude, so please put your phone away! And girls make awesome heroes! —Orange Blossom when the Disruptive Moviegoer tries to taint the public's perception of Tangerine Smash with his toxic streaming.

This guy appeared in "Let's Go to the Movies" as the main antagonist. He has a hatred for women, hoping that the new Tangerine Smash movie will fail.

• Caustic Critic: The guy disses the Tangerine Smash movie before the movie even starts!!
• Character Alignment: Considering his prejudice versus women, the character seems to be of some non-good alignment, most likely an evil one. Considering his willingness to flaunt the rules, Lawful Evil is still not likely.
• Diabolus Ex Nihilo: No information on this guy's origins has been revealed.
• Fat Bastard: The disruptive moviegoer's girth is quite large.
• He-Man Woman Hater: This character's defining character trait is his misogyny.
• Irrational Hatred: What's wrong with female heroes?
• Malaproper: Done on purpose through sheer malice. During his streams, this cretin warps the "Smash" in Tangerine Smash's name to "crash."
• Monster of the Week: The disruptive moviegoer's sole appearance in "Let's Go to the Movies" portrays him as the Big Bad of said episode. He puts Orange Blossom through hell while she just wants to watch the movie with her friends.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Orange Blossom facilitates the character's downfall by calling him out on his disruptive behaviour, and he runs off.

Crabapple Jam

This lady appears in Season 3 to take over the Berryworks while her twin kids, Cheese Strudel and Cherry Streusel, keep tabs.

• Big Bad: Crabapple Jam is this for Season 3.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: While she seems to be sweet, Crabapple Jam really wants to ruin Strawberry Shortcake's life.
• Character Alignment: Lawful Evil.
• Terrible Trio: Crabapple Jam's twin kid helpers form this with her.

Cheese Strudel and Cherry Streusel

Crabapple Jam's twin kids help her when she brings the Berryworks under her wing. They are instructed by their mother to keep tabs, and their antics make them a big killjoy to everyone they watch.

• Character Alignment: These two creeps' antics have huge risk of landing them in Chaotic Evil.
• Creepy Child: Given their sizes, these twins should be young. They have a habit of making deranged faces. Whenever they make a "normal" face, it's just a front.
• Diabolus Ex Machina: Good luck predicting where to spot these two next...
• Kids Are Cruel: Even though they are young, these two have become bullies in later episodes.
• Made of Iron: They hide in a refrigerator in "Custard's Big Adventure" without suffocating or freezing. This should've killed them.
• The Dividual: These two are berry similar with their personality traits and drive to ruin Strawberry Shortcake's life.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: These jerks love to make deranged faces when they keep an eye on everyone else.
