* Lime Chiffon from ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity'' that she's scared of pigeons to Blueberry Muffin in order to help her conquer her fear of the Sweet Tooth Fairy. Lime is fine with other birds though, as she has a pet parrot named Parfait.



* Strawberry Shortcake from the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series has a fear of ghosts, which the Mean Berries use to their advantage so she would leave the Berryworks in "Ghost of Cupcakes Past" with a TotemPoleTrench.

* Strawberry Shortcake from the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series has a fear of ghosts, which the Mean Berries use to their advantage so she would leave the Berryworks in "Ghost of Cupcakes Past" with a TotemPoleTrench. It returns in "The House on Scary Berry Lane" when she has to deliver to a haunted house, but this time Raspberry is helping her through it. It's a major subplot in "The Beast of Berry Bog", where she's hesitant to confront the titular monster, and has to learn to overcome her fear.


Added DiffLines:

* WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity:
** Lemon Meringue has Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking, and refuses to do anything that involves talking to a crowd. In "All About Lemon", she can barely utter a single word during her interview and has to rely on Strawberry to speak for her.
** Huckleberry Pie has Samhainophobia, and can barely function during Fright-Fall. In "The Beast of Berry Bog", it gets to the point where simply wearing a "costume" (literally just fake eyebrows) causes him to fear he'll suffer a Death of Personality.
** "Night of the Sweet Tooth Fairy" reveals Blueberry Muffin has Dontineraiphobia, aka the fear of the Sweet Tooth Fairy[[note]]basically just the tooth fairy, but instead of money they place candy under your pillow[[/note]]. As she puts it, there's nothing "sweet" about a magical being who breaks into your house while you're sleeping and steals your teeth. Blueberry manages to conquer her fear by the end, but it's ambiguous if this is because she actually met the Sweet Tooth Fairy and learned she's not that bad, or because she met Lime's dad trying to put the candy under Lime's pillow and learned the fairy wasn't real.
