Strawberry Shortcake Wiki

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 1980 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' (note that in the 1980 rendition strawberry was an only child and Apple Dumplin' was just one of her friends. Later in the 2009 version Strawberry calls Apple her cousin).Her persnickety cat Custard, and her mischievous dog named Pupcake (In the 1980 rendition, Pupcake was owned by Huckleberry Pie, but in the present version, he is Strawberry's pet) And her filly Honey Pie Pony was her pet in the 2003 series. 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 rendition, Strawberry was said to be 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) and Eri Kitamura in the Japanese dub of the specials, Sarah Heinke (2003-2008), and Anna Cummer (2009-present).
