Changes: Strawberry Shortcake (character)

Revision as of 20:15, 17 September 2020

Strawberry Shortcake is the eponymous protagonist of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise. She is said to be the "unofficial princess" of 'Strawberryland' and is often seen wearing a pink hat with strawberries printed on it. In the 1980s version of the franchise, she lives in a shortcake, while in the 2003 version, she lives in a strawberry.

She shares her berry bungalow with her sister Apple Dumplin', her persnickety cat Custard, and her mischievous dog named Pupcake. In the 1980 rendition Strawberry was an only child and Apple Dumplin' was just one of her friends, while Pupcake was owned by Huckleberry Pie. In the 2009 version Strawberry calls Apple her cousin. She had a filly named Honey Pie Pony in the 2003 series.

Strawberry Shortcake is a cartoon character originally used in greeting cards, but who was later expanded to include dolls, posters, and other products.

Many of Strawberry Shortcake’s days are spent in the simple pleasures of tending Strawberry berry vines. Strawberry also likes to spend time with her friends, so she frequently visits nearby lands. Strawberry is always cheerful and is ready for helping her friends at any time.

In the 1980s, Strawberry was six years old. Her current age is never explicitly stated, but she is implied to be teenaged/young adult aged in her most recent incarnations e.g., in Year 4 of the 2003 version, Strawberry is able to drive a car and in the 2009 version, she owns a shop called the Berry Café.

Strawberry Shortcake is voiced by Russi Taylor (1980s), Eri Kitamura in the Japanese dub of the specials, Sarah Heinke (2003-2008), Anna Cummer (2009-2015), and Holly Gorski (2019-present) .

Personality

1980s

Strawberry is a bright and energetic little girl. She is kind, loyal, and always ready to help a friend in need. She loves strawberries.

1991

Not much is known about her personality due to the fact that there was no animated series but from the official art, it seems as though Strawberry enjoys dancing.

2003

Strawberry Shortcake is good at sports. She also likes gardening, which is why there are a lot of large strawberries around her house. She loves her sister and never fails to share equal love towards both her pets. Whenever there is a big event in Strawberryland, you can bet that Strawberry Shortcake was the one who had the idea. Despair almost never appears in her dictionary, and when it does, it doesn't take long for her to regain her optimism. She likes singing and dancing, and she always does both whenever she has the chance. She is also a smart girl who can quickly find the right solution whenever a problem arises. She's also curious, eager to try something new, go to a place completely new for her, and make friends with a complete stranger. By the time of Year 4, her personality has matured, which is implied by her taking a part-time job and considering what her future career will be.

2009
