->'''Played By:''' Creator/VirginiaMadsen
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She might be a kind woman who doesn't wish to harm anyone, but she's not only a MamaBear who is very protective of her family, but she also doesn't tolerate seeing injustice when she sees it, which often gets her in trouble in her many jobs, usually by standing up to her many {{Mean Boss}}es.
* GoodParents: She truly is; she loves her children more than anything, and will put them above anything, including her relationships with anyone else.
* HappilyMarried: PlayedWith. She and Wolf had stable and loving marriage but her attempts at reforming their family after his arrest put them at odds, to the point she starts thinking he might be better off staying in jail.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: She and Wolf have been an OutlawCouple since their high-school days.
* MamaBear: Stopping her children from going to jail is Cheryl's primary motivation throughout the series.
* OnlySaneWoman: Sometimes acts like this when compared to some of the other contestants.
* NiceGirl: Out of all the main characters she's by far the kindest, and the only one who doesn't like tricking or scamming people, as even Logan is prone to lying.

* SilkHidingSteel: While she might look like a common {{housewife}} and has sworn away from a life of crime, she did use to work in the underworld, and can pull some dirty tricks when she needs to protect her family.
* StrugglingSingleMother: PlayedWith. With Wolf in jail, she has to take care of her family on her own for years, and her desire to reform the family out of their criminal life also means they're struggling more financially since they usually just stole stuff, but now they have to work. In order to support her family, she gets into various jobs, leading to a NewJobEpisode for her almost every episode.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: As she and Mack start interacting more and more as she struggles to reform her family, they begin to develop feelings for each other.
