Brutally and sadistically torture and kill any and all children that are giving her trouble, in a way that is very reminiscent of ''{{FanFic/Cupcakes}}''. In fact, many would say ''Cheerilee's Garden'' is ''Cupcakes'''s SpiritualSuccessor. Right down to being a TrollFic gone a ''little'' too far.

Meet Cheerilee: teacher, loveable character (on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''), and - according to fanfiction writer [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Unahim Unahim]] - a sadistic killer of children. Well, at least the children she deems worthless. [[spoiler: Along with those she holds responsible.]]

Cheerilee is facing a problem that probably many teachers have in their careers. Her students are acting up and not paying attention in class, and whatever they do pay attention to just isn't sinking in. Cheerilee has tried and tried again to teach this restless bunch, but everything she's tried so far has failed. Cheerilee is at her wits' end. She feels worthless as a teacher and, thanks to her students' inability to learn, is on the verge of a mid-life crisis. Her whole life, sanity included, is crumbling. She doesn't reach out for help from fellow teachers, nor does she see a therapist. She finds a different, [[spoiler: not much]] better solution.
