One is forced to guess that Orange Blossom, Lemon Meringue and T.N. Honey were each paying 133% New York rent just to cover her (not to mention obvious safety concerns). No wonder they were so quick to move to Strawberryland.
- Verbal Tic: In Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City, Apricot can only speak within a limited vocabulary-consisting entirely of high-school level words. Possibly explained by having T.N. Honey as her closest neighbor.

Villains
The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak
Voiced by: Robert Ridgely (1980-1984)
- Added Alliterative Appeal: The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak.

- Beat the Curse Out of Him: His Kohlrabi Cookies are so bad, one bite can snap a man out of hypnosis.
- Breakout Villain: In the original series, he appeared in the first TV special and came to be the main villain of the series.
- Character Tic: In the 1980s version, he does a tap dance while going "Yah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah-tah! Cha!"
- Cheaters Never Prosper: In Big Apple City he swaps Strawberry's milk, flour, butter and strawberries with chalk water, plaster, axle grease, and bubble gum during the baking contest. Her new friends quickly hit the market and replace everything in time.
- Cordon Bleugh Chef: This is a big plot point in Big Apple City, in which he and Strawberry are pitted against each other in the Bake-Off. Since he knows he can't honestly beat Strawberry with his Kohlrabi Cookies, he comes up with plan after plan to keep things from getting to that point.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: He's shown proficiency with making gadgets and training birds, but still prefers doing evil schemes.
- Dastardly Whiplash: Particularly in the 1980s and 2003 series; he even twirls his mustache at times.

- Literal-Minded: On occasion, though it's fairly realistic in that he isn't always literal-minded. It helps that Strawberryland is weird anyway.
- Love at First Sight: Falls for the Berry Princess as soon as he sees her, which she uses to manipulate him.
- Not in Front of the Parrot!: Invoked. He went to a lot of effort to teach his Berry Birds speech, and uses them to spy on peoples' conversations. This gets used against him when Strawberry teaches them a "berry talk" song and they go right back to Porcupine Peak and start singing it 'til he can't take any more.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he's generally a bumbler in all incarnations, in the first special he floods Strawberryland and steals all the berries, and is only foiled by the Narrator, Mr. Sun, helping Strawberry out.
- Poke the Poodle: Given the target audience, his schemes never put Strawberry and her friends in danger of anything but inconvenience or depriving them of something they want.

- Third-Person Person: Sometimes.
- Verbal Tic: When the Pie Man mentions himself, he always says it as dramatically as possible, then follows with a quick song and dance.
- Visionary Villain: He has lofty dreams of taking over Strawberryland, but never gets to achieve them.
- Weaksauce Weakness: In the 1980s specials, berry talk, which undoes his plans in two specials in a row.

- Make Some Noise: One of her powers was to cackle and make a horrendous noise that could stagger people.
- Makeup Is Evil: In the fifth TV special, her obsession with making the perfect perfume causes a huge, rotten-smelling cloud to form and threaten Strawberryland and the Berrykins, and she tries to capture and shake the scent out of the Berrykins to get it right.

- Canon Foreigner: Was exclusive to the 1980s comic series.
- Daddy's Little Villain: She's Sour Grapes' evil niece, though she does genuinely want to be friends with Shortcake and friends, her loyalties remain with Pieman and her aunt.
Other Characters
Mr. Sun
Voiced by: Romeo Muller (1980-1982); Chris Wiggins (1983-1984)
- Alien Non-Interference Clause: Somewhat implied in the first special, where he sits back and lets events unfold until he can't stand the Purple Pieman's nefarious actions anymore and rats him out to Strawberry. In later specials he helps out much more readily.
