"Woah! You're bashing their ears with too much info, Fen! Looks like we're gonna have to pound this fream into next week to make 'em forget what you said!" — Cherry
Cherry is one of the Team Buddy admins and a member of the Virbank Slodges.
Appearance
Cherry is a young woman who favors rockabilly style. She keeps her auburn hair tied back in a bun, with with front heavily curled (excluding a lock that dangles in front of her face). All of it is kept together with a yellow bandana. Her black tank top has several straps that loop down her arm. She wears ripped, cuffed jeans and red kitten heels. She has a mole next to her mouth.
Personality
Of the three Team Buddy admins, Cherry is the most aggressive in terms of personality. When calm, she is extremely sure of her skills and is raring for a fight when things start going south for her. However, she can also get fairly agitated when frustrated and isn't shy about throwing insults at others. However, she's also fiercely loyal to her friends, willing to help them out and willing to knock some sense into them when they're acting foolish.
Early Life
Team Buddy
After the Player defeats Danny and Rosie, Cherry takes it upon herself to try and stop them before they interfere with Team Buddy's plans even more. She confronts them at the Dream Yard after Professor Fennel's Buddyization. She explains that Fennel was Buddyized in order to keep her skills at Team Buddy's disposal, revealing that Buddyized Fennel even offered to build Buddyization machines to help. When an eager-to-please Fennel starts sharing too much info, Cherry snaps at Fennel and the two battle the Player because they know too much now and cannot leave. Cherry is agitated after losing and when she finishes insulting the Player, she runs back to the Buddy Building, taking the machine and Team Buddy grunts with her.
Cherry is present along with the other admins when Buddy makes his escape from his confrontation with the Player. Safe in one of the cars, the four drive off.
She and Rosie team up to stop the Player as they try to stop Team Buddy from using the Jirachi at a crater near Aspertia City. Both she and Rosie are hesitant to stop the Player, as they're having second thoughts about the rapidly escalating plan. However, the two are loyal to their friend and battle the Player to give Buddy more time to awaken Jirachi. Unlike her emotional reaction to her loss at the Dream Yard, Cherry is relieved that she lost so she has no reason to stop the Player from interfering with Buddy's plans.
After Buddy's defeat, Rosie, Danny, and Cherry burst onto the scene in order to fully stop his plans. The three beg for him to reconsider his plans, as neither brainwashing nor the Jirachi's wish giving powers will truly earn them any friends. Once Buddy finally gives up his plans, the four make their escape from the crater, officially disbanding Team Buddy but reforging the Virbank Slodges.
Team Buddy Returns
Cherry appears at the Virbank Slodges' hangout and is shocked when she sees an advertisement for Neo Team Buddy's Salon in Alola.
When Buddy is threatening Ilima, he repeatedly asks where Cherry is, implying that she's somewhere in Alola dealing with Neo Team Buddy without her friends.
Later, Sirius/Stella find her bandana at Team ReSkull's Bewearicade and pick it up as they leave. Buddy reveals that it's covered in Lucid Mist, much to his distress. After the Slodges learned about Neo Team Buddy, Cherry left without the other three to investigate. When they realized that she was missing, Buddy followed after her, but judging by the bandana's state, he believes that he arrived too late to do any good.

Trivia
- In the "What if I Had an Evil Team" video, Cherry is the only Team Buddy admin to not face the Player in a one-on-one single battle. Both of her encounters are double battles partnered with Buddyized Fennel and Rosie respectively.
- Cherry was named after Cherry Valance from The Outsiders. Ironically, Valance is aligned with the Socs in the novel, which are the enemies of the greasers.
- Mr. Buddy has revealed some info about the Virbank Slodges through some Twitter Posts:
- They have Friday movie nights watching cheesy monster movies.
- Cherry was in a gang, but left on bad terms.
- Rosie, Danny, and Cherry have seen Buddy's hair down/un-pomped. The experience is odd for all involved.
