Ooh, I don’t talk about Cherry as often as I should!
Favorite thing about them: How simple she is! And by this I mean how much more simply she experiences the world compared to everyone around her. While the other characters have all their drama, Cherry just takes things as they come and doesn’t stress too much the small things. She knows her emotions, and she lets them guide her decisions without worry. She’s not dumb with optimism, just honest with her feelings (although that doesn’t mean she’s not naive lol). She still has range despite a lack of angst.
Least favorite thing about them: How difficult it is to pose her~ Since she’s basically just a ball with wings, I really only have two poses for her: wings folded and wings open. Her feet/legs are also so stubby that standing/sitting positions are super limited, and her wings are too big to properly fit in frames most the time for different “hand” gestures. This is why I don’t make a lot of art for her, since I struggle coming up with good compositions and poses.
Favorite line: “No, I lovingly grabbed it from the floor.” (I more just love the context of this line; showing Cherry’s more deadpan side is always fun)
Random headcanon: For a while, I liked to imagine that she had a fascination with ribbons. She loved collecting them, playing with them, nesting with them, etc. It’s not something I play into as much these days, but perhaps an opportunity to do so will come up some day!
Unpopular opinion: Uhh, lesse... Kinda hard for me to tell what opinions are popular or not already, so I’ll just take a shot in the dark x3 I don’t think Cherry shows up enough in the comics right now, and I’d love to do better incorporating her into each story.
Song I associate with them: Hmm, good question. Often it’s hard for me to find songs that match my characters well (this is why I don’t make soundtracks lol), but thinking on it now, the first thing that comes to mind is Owl City. Songs like “Strawberry Avalanche” and “Hot Air Balloon” I think fit her personality, and I’m sure it’s music she’d love listening to as well.
Favorite picture of them:
From my own art, I really enjoy this drawing of her I made for the Beauty Contest during Ugly Sweater Week a couple years ago (which got fourth place overall >w>).
A few other artists have also drawn her over the years, and I want to give a special shout out to this piece by Kay (09004888 on Neo), as it’s probably one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen <3
