[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strawberry_shortcake_episode_37_berry_in_the_big_city_youtube_0_3_32_27.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Strawberry Shortcake's 2021 design]]
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Strawberry carries much more doubt in her baking skills than previous incarnations, with several episodes centering around her worries that she isn't as good a baker everyone says she is, and having to regain her confidence.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She and Raspberry form a rivalry due to both being bakers at the Berryworks, and Strawberry would usually one-up Raspberry in episodes focusing on the two. In "Bake-Off", during their competition on "Bite of the City" to decide who is the superior baker, they end up tying and decide to drop their rivalry.
* CountryMouse: Strawberry originally lived in the small town of Berryville, before moving to Big Apple City to pursue a baking career.
* GrandmasRecipe: Strawberry inherited several recipes from her late grandma, which she uses for her baking business.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She always sees the best in everyberry, which tends to get her in trouble with people who exploit her overly trusting nature.
** In Fruitleg Alley, she thinks that the titular underground market sounded "adorable", and only started to realize the shadiness of the location once she had already walked inside and encountered several deceitful sellers.
** When she had a rivalry with Raspberry Tart, she constantly believed whatever Raspberry told her, even when it was an obvious lie, and would immediately forgive her by the next episode no matter what Raspberry did to try and sabotage her.
** With the Peculiar Purple Pieman and Crabapple Jam, she's less trusting of them due to their more blatant antagonism, but she would constantly give them the benefit of the doubt anyway, which tends to lead to trouble. Such as when Pieman manipulated Strawberry into signing away her food truck in "Peculiar Purple Partner", or when Crabapple tricked her into giving up an opportunity to bake for Kiki [=KeyLime=] in "Kiki [=KeyLime's=] Favorite Things".
* {{Irony}}: In "Strawberry's Shortcake", she reveals that she can't bring herself to make a strawberry shortcake. That's right, Strawberry Shortcake can't make strawberry shortcake. Though she admits that it's less because she doesn't know ''how'' to make a strawberry shortcake, which she does know ''how'' to do, and more that she is afraid of trying and messing it all up, since she feels that the dish being her namesake means that she has to get it absolutely right and perfect or it won't be good enough and, more importantly, ''SHE'' won't be good enough as a baker. Thankfully, she does start to get over this and at least make strides to ''try'' to make strawberry shortcake after the events of "The Swirlyverse Strikes Back".
* MementoMacGuffin: Strawberry's lucky mixing spoon, a family heirloom passed down from baker to baker, is a prominent element in the series, and is even implied to be magic in the "Perfect Holiday" special.
* RoseHairedSweetie: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She has straight pink hair, and is sweet and friendly all the time, but does have her moments of craziness and can be competitive at times.
* SanitySlippage: Strawberry occasionally goes through brief stints of this as a RunningGag, to the point where her friends usually expect it to happen when something goes wrong.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In "Peculiar Purple Partner", after Purple Pieman tricks her into signing away her food truck, she nearly gives up completely and almost moves back to Berryville. Luckily, her friends step in, convince her to stay, and even gets her food truck back from the Pieman.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest3_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:Huckleberry Pie's 2021 design]]
* AdaptationalDumbass: This Huckleberry is probably his least intelligent version. He believes random pocket trash is currency just because someone threw it in his guitar case, doesn't know what a wrench is, and is even described InUniverse as a dense individual.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Huck has darker skin, though it's not clear what specific race he's supposed to be.
* BigEater: He starts working at the Berryworks mostly so he can eat the sweets sold there, and can barely resist being in the vicinity of pastries without devouring them.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: "Deliveryberries" establishes that Huck does deliveries for Strawberry. Despite being so easily distracted that he keeps being late, his friendly and helpful nature leads to him gathering ingredients that Strawberry needs for her next recipes, which is why she keeps having him deliver.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Huck has a very... unique way of looking at the world, to put it simply. Most prominent in his focus episodes, where his quirks often confuse or exasperate the others.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Huck is very good at music, but he's pretty much only good at music. In the episode "Huck's New Job", he works around the Berryworks to stay after Bread Pudding kicks him out, but screws up every task no matter how simple.
* TheDitz: Huck is fairly dense, even described as such by Strawberry, albiet indirectly.
* InsaneTrollLogic: He can fall into this at times.
** In "Who Stole The Pies", he ate several pies that Strawberry had baked despite a sign reading "Hot pies. Only eat when cool.", because he interpreted it as the pies only being allowed for cool people; Strawberry likes his music and thinks he's cool, therefore he can eat the pies.
** In "Deliveryberries", when Caramel Tartufo asks why Huck and Bread were so late with his pie order, Huck says that life is about the journey, so they took the pies across the city so Caramel could taste the journey in each pie.
** In ''The Beast of Berry Bog'' special, he's convinced that wearing a Frightfall costume will make him lose track of his own identity and suffer DeathOfPersonality.
* LackOfImagination: In "Huck's New Job", Huck briefly works at Blueberry's ice cream cart, who simple asks him to come up with unique flavors. The best Huck could manage was vanilla ice cream in a cone.
* PlatonicLifePartners: He and Blueberry Muffin, due to their shared status as {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s and having similar "go with the flow" philosophies. The two are often seen together, with Blueberry usually dancing to Huck's music.
* RaceLift: He's white in previous incarnations, but AmbiguouslyBrown here.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Despite being in the theme song, he doesn't appear until the 13th episode.
* SixthRanger: He joins the main cast partway through the first season.
* StreetMusician: His debut in "Meet Huckleberry Pie" introduces him as one, playing a song in the Funnelcake System subway station. He drops this when he begins working at the Berryworks.
* TooHungryToBePolite: Nearly every single time he eats something, it's in an extremely messy fashion. Lampshaded and justified in "Who Stole The Pies?" When Lime asks why he eats so messily, he answers that he gained the trait from being the 3-time winner of a pie-eating contest.

[[folder:Apple Dumplin']]
!!In General
The first of the many baby characters to appear in the series. She's smaller and less independent than the others, but is capable of taking care of herself when the situation arises. She becomes Strawberry's younger sister in the 2003 series and her adventuresome cousin who runs a travel blog in the 2009 series.
----
* AgeLift: Every incarnation of her becomes older in each series. Her original version is a baby, her 2003 incarnation is a toddler who becomes a young girl in the TimeSkip, and her 2009 incarnation is the same age as Strawberry and friends.
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: In the 1980s and 2003 design, she is a baby, but in the third season of the 2003 series, she is more of a toddler who can speak in ThirdPersonPerson sentences until the fourth season, when she is a kid who speaks full sentences.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Blueberry can be a little rude whenever she is agitated, and she does behave like a Know-It-All at times, due to being known as a smart girl and a bookworm, but she cares about her friends very much and is still a nice girl.
* TheSmartGirl: She is known as a smart girl, the bookworm, and the most mature girl in the group for generations.

[[caption-width-right:300:Blueberry Muffin's 2021 design]]
* AgentMulder: She is this in spades. She's made numerous attempts in her childhood to meet [[SantaClaus Cinnamon Swirl]] and the ghost of J. Quincy Cupcake, and she believes the universe itself is her friend and will always guide her to her goals. In "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday", she gets to meet Cinnamon Swirl.
* BizarreTasteInFood: Blueberry loves to mix weird flavors in her ice cream cart her friends think are either delicious or gross, but still weird either way. Some notable flavors include:
** Boiled Cabbage & Marshmallow Cone [[note]]from "Parking Problems": ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Blueberry lampshades that it's an acquired taste.[[/note]]
** Ketchup & Jalapeno Swirl [[note]]from "Let's Go To The Movies": ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.[[/note]]
** An unnamed ice cream from "Figgy Pudding", consisting of a brown and purple twist sandwiched between two waffle cones, with jalapenos, cheese, wrapped candy, and a PB&J sandwich as toppings.
** Fennel Pollen & Peppermint, and Garlic Salt & Bubblegum[[note]]from "Following The Recipe". ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Blueberry does admit the first flavor tasted bad, but she loved the latter[[/note]]
* BlueIsCalm: She's usually portrayed as a calm and collected individual, with few things breaking that facade.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's into new age esoterica like reading auras and prone to incoherent ramblings.
* TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight: Every time she says something that sounds nonsensical and made-up, it always ends up being true, usually as a BrickJoke to the episode.
* CosmicEntity: She believes that the universe itself is her friend, often consulting it for guidance. Mysteriously or by coincidence, she gets that guidance.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: "Following the Recipe" reveals that the 2021 version of Blueberry is dyslexic, which makes it hard for her to read recipes, so she made up all of hers. She avoided bringing up her dyslexia because she felt embarrassed by it, until Strawberry convinced her it was nothing to be ashamed of as she still runs a successful ice cream cart with tons of creative flavors, all without using any recipes.
* EccentricArtist: A RunningGag with Blueberry has her using her face to paint.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Due to her more spiritual personality, she claims she can communicate with nature. It's also implied that this isn't just her being a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. She's able to convince bugs to leave her alone just by asking nicely, once held a conversation with a pigeon, and she can (maybe) talk to plants.
* {{Irony}}: Blueberry Muffin's previous two incarnations are characterized as total bookworms who love to read more than anything. However, this Blueberry is revealed to be dyslexic, and struggles to read without assistance.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Blueberry sometimes does things that can come across as supernatural.
** In "All in the Palm", she manages to correctly predict everything that will happen to her friends in one word while palm-reading.
** In "Scaryoke", Blueberry seemingly levitates a sheet onto her ice cream cart while decorating for Fright Fall.
** In "Strawberry's Friendship Party", she tells Strawberry she can't attend the titular party via paper airplane, but then tells her that the cupcakes she baked were delicious. Sure enough, one of the cupcakes mysteriously has a bite mark.
-->'''Strawberry Shortcake:''' Ok, that's creepy.
** In "The House on Scary Berry Lane", she instantly appears next to Strawberry and Raspberry in a flash of lightning.
** She believes the universe is her friend and will often consult it for advice on how to fix the main problem of the episode. She always gets that advice one way or another, and it's never clarified if the universe really is acting on her behalf.
* RaceLift: Blueberry is East Asian-coded.
* ShipperOnDeck: In the episode "Case of the Missing Spoon" she is this to, of all things, her ice cream scoop and Strawberry's lucky spoon.
-->'''Blueberry Muffin:''' ''(talking about Strawberry's lucky spoon)'' Maybe it was lonely and came to see my ice cream scoop. ''(gasp)'' Maybe they're in love!\\
'''Blueberry Muffin:''' ''(setting the spoon and scoop down together)'' Aww, look, they're spooning.
* SiblingRivalry: While usually serene, Blueberry has a bad case of this with [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Everything Bagel]]. Whenever they're on screen together they get caught up in petty bickering at best and a BigBallOfViolence at their worst.
* TalkingToPlants: Blueberry claims she can talk to plants, and is shown supposedly having conversations with mint, pumpkins, and she says she's really good at "speaking sweet potato". Occasionally the show implies that she actually can talk to plants.

[[folder:Raspberry Tart (Raspberry Torte)]]
!!In General
True to her name, this character has a bit of a mean streak, but eventually becomes nicer as the 1980s series progresses. She returns in the 2003 series as a tomboy and athlete and is very brash (which posed a problem to those around her but she learned to overcome this), but not to the extent of Peppermint Fizz, and has a close friend in Lemon Meringue. In the 2009 series, she runs the Fresh Fashions Boutique where she designs, makes and sells her own merchandise, though she tends to be competitive when it comes to fashion with Lemon Meringue. In ''Berry in the Big City'', jealous of Strawberry's business for stealing her customers, she plotted to force her out of the Berryworks, usually accompanied by Bread Pudding and Sour Grapes. She eventually decides to drop her rivalry after realizing how much in common she has with Strawberry, befriending her at the end of Season 1.
----

* RoseHairedSweetie: Her 1980s, 2003, and 2009 versions. Her 2021 version initially inverted this due to playing an antagonistic role, but plays it straight after her HeelFaceTurn.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She was originally the top seller of the Berryworks, until Strawberry arrived, started her business and gained much more attention than her.

Strawberry and Raspberry also share many similarities in their appearances, and their food trucks likewise mirror each other in design.
* FreudianExcuse: It's implied that her AlphaBitch tendencies came from her parents spending little time with her, due to their busy careers. It's also the reason she hated Winterswirl, as her parents were rarely around for the holiday.
* TheGrinch: In "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday", Raspberry is revealed to despise the Winterswirl holiday and how focused people are on trying to make it perfect. By the end of the special, after a pep talk from [[SantaClaus Cinnamon Swirl]], she learns to enjoy the holidays by having fun with her friends.
* HeelFaceTurn: Raspberry undergoes one in the season 1 finale, "Bake Off", and from Season 2 onwards she's a friend of Strawberry.

* TookALevelInJerkass: She's much more of a bully than prior incarnations, though she does undergo CharacterDevelopment and becomes nicer.

Making her debut in the 1980s series' second special, "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City", this girl comes from Big Apple City, the same place as Orange Blossom, and is a famous model there.

[[caption-width-right:300:Lemon Meringue's 2021 design]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: This Lemon is probably her smartest incarnation, smart enough to regularly build complex machinery on a near-daily basis.
* AshFace: Her susceptibility to this is a RunningGag. Her inventions usually end up exploding in her face and leaving her charred, but so do other random objects - like a bus's engine or even a ''macaron''.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: She's the Blonde to Lime Chiffon's Brunette and Strawberry Shortcake's Redhead.
* ButtMonkey: Lemon constantly has things blow up in her face, sometimes multiple times per episode.
* ChildProdigy: She's a GadgeteerGenius, able to build impressive machines and robots in nearly every episode.
* DumpsterDive: "Jam Session" establishes that Lemon digs through the garbage dump often to get scrap metal for her inventions.
* EatingPetFood: In "It's My Purr-ty", Lemon Meringue is about to eat a cupcake covered in cat food until Lime Chiffon stops her to point that out, at which Lemon shrugs and eats it anyway. Then Lemon decides to eat another one at the end of the episode.
--> '''Lime Chiffon:''' "Lemon! That's cat food!"\\
'''Lemon Meringue:''' ''(shrugs)'' "Eh."\\
''Lemon Meringue eats the cat food-covered cupcake, as Lime Chiffon looks on in disgust.''\\
'''Lemon Meringue:''' "Mmm, crunchy." ''(burps)''
* EnragedByIdiocy: Downplayed. In "All About Lemon", Lemon asks Strawberry to speak in her place for an interview with the tech website Fusionberry due to her social anxiety, but gets so frustrated with Strawberry's unfamiliarity with tech that she ends up stepping in.
* EvilLaugh: Lemon has one of these, usually when using her more destructive inventions, though she actually isn't evil herself.
* EyeGlasses: Whenever she wears her goggles. Averted in the episode "Berry Competitive".
* GadgeteerGenius: Lemon is an inventor.
* HatesBeingTouched: In "Will You Be My Lemontine?", Lemon reveals her dislike of hugs and physical contact. Future episodes where the Berry Besties do something like a group hug will have Lemon stand off to the side rather than join in.

* MadeOfExplodium: In ''Berry in the Big City'', Lemon Meringue's inventions have a tendency to explode or malfunction in some way for [[RuleOfComedy comedic effect]].
* MadScientist: Lemon falls into this at times. Some notable "Lemon-ventions" include a robotic duplicate of Strawberry Shortcake, a raygun, an incinerating laser, and several mech suits.
* NoSocialSkills: Lemon is introverted and doesn't enjoy talking to others aside from her friends, especially when it comes to talking about herself.
** In "Lemon's Name in Lights", she refuses to decorate the Berryworks Winterswirl tree because whoever does so has to give a speech at the tree-lighting ceremony, and only goes through with it because Strawberry managed to get the speech rule revoked.
** In "All About Lemon", she's interviewed by Plum Pudding about her various inventions and can barely utter a single word, needing Strawberry to speak in her place.
* PinkIsForSissies: Downplayed. Lemon expresses verbal disappointment whenever she has to acknowledge Strawberry's oven being pink, but rarely ever brings up her dislike of the color outside of that context.
* RayGun: She's built a couple of blasters.
* RunningGag: As mentioned above, her inventions will usually randomly explode for no reason.
* SpiderTank: Lemon owns one, as seen in Season 3, with a grappling claw and net launcher.
* {{Tomboy}}: Lemon is the least feminine of the main cast. She hates hugs and discussing feelings, and gags at the mention of pink.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the tomboy to Blueberry Muffin and Lime Chiffon's girly girl.
* TomboynessUpgrade: Previous incarnations were generally feminine and loved fashion or modeling. Here, she's a tomboyish mechanic.
* ValentinesDayVitriol: Lemon Meringue has a very vocal dislike of [[ValentinesDayEpisode Sweetie Pie's Day]], due to her general dislike of hugs and sharing feelings.
* WrenchWench: Lemon, being a mechanic and inventor.

* ToylessToylineCharacter: There was no doll for Lime Light in the toyline, likely due to her only appearance being the very last special for that incarnation.

!!In General
A girl known for being very polite. She makes her debut in ''Pets on Parade'' in the 1980s specials, where she's new to Strawberryland and the only kid who doesn't have a pet when Strawberry Shortcake meets her. She ends up adopting a skunk she names Souffle. In the 2003 version, she's a cake decorator who lives on Cakewalk and tends to be a perfectionist at times.
----
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She was one of the casualties of Hasbro's ''"healthy snacks"'' policy that was in place for the 2009 reboot. Despite being one of the core characters in past iterations, she's had yet to make an appearance since.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Wears lilac-colored clothing in a lot of her outfits.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is literally "Angel", and she's of the nicest characters in the franchise.
* NiceGirl: Angel Cake is one at heart, especially in the 1980s. Her 2003 incarnation is still one even with her perfectionist tendencies, but it becomes downplayed after she TookALevelInJerkass.

* NearlyNormalAnimal: Only barely qualifies in the 2021 series, as he usually acts as a normal frog most of the time. He can clearly communicate with the other pets, and very rarely has a moment of thought, like his ImagineSpot of going to a spa in "Go For The Goldenberry".

!!! Villains
[[folder:The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak]]
!!In General
The main villain of the series, Purple Pieman is an evil baker and the archenemy of Strawberry Shortcake. In the original 1980s specials, he's known for having an "evil conscience", and having Berry Birds which steal berries. He returns in the 2003 series as Sour Grapes' brother, who seeks to take over Strawberryland. He doesn't appear in the ''Berry Bitty Adventures'' TV series, but does return in the IDW comics and the 2018 webseries. There, his name is Steve Piemanne, an ambitious yet sneaky baker who wants to become famous at any cost. In "Berry in the Big City" he's a famous baker who tries to sabotage Strawberry Shortcake to avoid her becoming a competitor.
----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: He had white hair in the original 1980s special and the 2003 series, then he had dark blue hair in the ''Berry Bitty Adventures'' IDW comics and 2018 webseries. In 2021, his hair is purple.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The '''P'''eculiar '''P'''urple '''P'''ieman of '''P'''orcupine '''P'''eak.
* AmbitionIsEvil: The Pieman will gladly turn to dirty tricks to stay the greatest baker around.
* BreakoutVillain: In the original series, he appeared in the first TV special and came to be the main villain of the series.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: He's shown proficiency with making gadgets, electrical work (hacking traffic lights), training animals, and yes, even cooking. Unfortunately, his evil conscience pushes him toward wicked schemes.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Particularly in the 1980s and 2003 series; he even twirls his mustache at times.
* PokeThePoodle: 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.
* ThinChinOfSin: His chin is thin, and we tend to see him do evil things.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobertRidgely (1980-1984)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strawberryshortcakepieman80s.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:300:His original 1980s design.]]
* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: His Kohlrabi Cookies are so bad, one bite can snap a man out of hypnosis.
* CharacterTic: In the 1980s version, he does a tap dance while going "Yah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah-tah! Cha!"
* CheatersNeverProsper: 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.
* CordonBleughChef: 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 [[SupremeChef Strawberry]] with his [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlrabi Kohlrabi]] Cookies, he comes up with plan after plan to keep things from getting to that point.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Actually agreed to become a good guy at the end of the first special when Strawberry and her friends extended their friendship to him after they'd defeated him, but by the time of the second his "evil conscience" causes him to return to villainy.
* ImpossibleThief: As mentioned [[CheatersNeverProsper above]], he manages to swap out Strawberry Shortcake's ingredients on a closed stage, with untold numbers of eyes staring directly at him, ''on live TV'', without anyone noticing.
* LethalChef: In the first special, he's implied to be at least a decent chef, but in ''Big Apple City'' his cookies are so bad they make ''the oven'' sick, although that could be due to his decision to make them with [[CordonBleughChef Kohlrabi]].
* LiteralMinded: On occasion, though it's fairly realistic in that he isn't ''always'' literal-minded. It helps that Strawberryland is weird anyway.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Falls for the Berry Princess as soon as he sees her, which she uses to manipulate him.
* NotInFrontOfTheParrot: Invoked. He went to a lot of effort to teach his Berry Birds speech, and uses them to spy on peoples' conversations. This gets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard 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.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: 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.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Subverted. While he is a villain who speaks of himself using his full name (and following up with his song and dance), he couldn't care less that everyone else calls him by shorter versions of his name.
* SuckinessIsPainful: Strawberry Shortcake's "berry talk" is ''literally'' painful to him, as is Sour Grapes's yodeling. He's sincerely frightened by the prospect of being exposed to either.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Sometimes.
* VerbalTic: When the Pie Man mentions himself, he always says it as dramatically as possible, then follows with a quick song and dance.
* VisionaryVillain: He has lofty dreams of taking over Strawberryland, but never gets to achieve them.
* WeaksauceWeakness: In the 1980s specials, berry talk, which undoes his plans in two specials in a row.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He has white hair, and is fairly evil

* DreamStealer: He became this in ''The Sweet Dreams'' movie by taking over the Dream Factory in order to keep all the dreams to himself because he never got one as a child.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In the Sweet Dreams movie he nearly ruins dreams for everyone.
* RevengeBeforeReason: In the Sweet Dreams movie, the Purple Pieman never had dreams. For this, and for his literal thinking causing him to try to literally snatch Strawberry Shortcake's dream away from her in his conquest, he storms the Land of Dreams, deceives its inhabitants, boots out the Sandman, takes over the dream factory, holds the main Dream Builder hostage in a cage dangling over a black hole to blackmail the other dream factory workers, announces that dreams will no longer be shipped out, and ''then'' mentions that he never dreamed. After all of this, he continues ruining everything for the Land of Dreams, but he sure finished up a lot of revenge before explaining himself.
* VerbalTic: According to ''The Sweet Dreams Movie'' he even has it ''in his signature''.
* VisionaryVillain: He has lofty dreams of taking over Strawberryland, but never gets to achieve them.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He has white hair, and is fairly evil.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Surprisingly, one of the few examples of this being averted, as his design is kept the same from the original series.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's a far cry from his previous incarnations in terms of vileness, and is at worst an annoyance.
* AntiVillain: He's much less of a villain than his other versions, but would still act as an antagonist.
* TheCameo: [[https://i.imgur.com/iswASLZ.jpg A picture]] of him appears in the 2009 series' Dress-Up Dreams app.

* EvilUncle: To Sour Grapes in ''Berry in the Big City''.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Purple Pieman and Johnnycake Cobbler are brothers, yet they only interact in the "Perfect Holiday" special. It's implied the reason is because Pieman can't stand Johnnycake's penchant for dramatics and showmanship.
* IconicAttributeAdoptionMoment: In "Kiki [=Keylime's=] Favorite Things" reveals that he gained his signature [[DastardlyWhiplash mustache]] after Crabapple Jam taught him to be ruthless and sneaky, it instantly growing from his rather small stubble as he does an EvilLaugh.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite being a famous baker, Pieman is never shown baking anything onscreen. Lampshaded by Sour Grapes in "Pets to the Rescue".
--> '''Sour Grapes:''' Or, since you're a baker you could, I don't know go with me here, ''bake'' something?
* {{Nepotism}}: He outright admits in "Purple Protege", Pieman outright says he's choosing Sour as his assistant because she's his niece (and also because she watched everyone else fight).
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: In the 2003 series, Pieman and Sour Grapes are siblings, but in ''Berry in the Big City'' they are uncle and niece.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Implied in the episode "Kiki [=Keylime's=] Favorite Things", he was shown bright-eyed and in-awe at Big Apple City, just like Strawberry in the first episode, until he came under the tutelage of Crabapple Jam and became the conniving confectioner he is today.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The Purple Pieman is a highly successful businessman, with Purple Pieshops located everywhere throughout the city. But he's also a corrupt and sneaky individual, going out of his way to antagonize Strawberry Shortcake and sabotaging her business.

Another villain and the Peculiar Purple Pieman's partner in crime when she shows up in the third 1980's special.

In the 2009 version she's a grumpy punk girl who runs a food truck with her sister, Sweet Grapes. She's also a young girl in the 2021 version, where she's Raspberry Tart's best friend/crony and the Peculiar Purple Pieman's niece.
----
* HeelFaceTurn: Every version ever since the 2007 series.
** In 2007, she used to follow Pie Man's evil plans but soon became a bit of a mother figure to Strawberry and her friends.
** In 2009, she is rude to Apple Dumplin' at first and has a prank war with her, but the two of them learn how to get along and make up during a camping trip.
** In 2021, she wasn't necessarily evil, but she still worked with the main antagonists of Season 1 and 2. Sour did appear to pull one at the end of Season 1 upon Raspberry's own HeelFaceTurn, but then she began working for The Purple Pieman in Season 2.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While her plans are always foiled, she's generally more dangerous than the Pieman, and more willing to threaten people to get what she wants. She also boasts of having successfully committed crimes when he hasn't.
* TheStarscream: In the comics she plotted to take over the Pieman's castle while he was away searching for a dragon's treasure.

* MobileKiosk: ''Berry Bitty Adventures'' Sour Grapes runs a food truck alongside her sister, Sweet Grapes, though she prefers to make non-sweet dishes.
* RedOniBlueOni: Sour's blue to Sweet's red, due to Sour being more introverted and Sweet being extroverted, welcoming, and well...sweet.
* SweetAndSourGrapes: Sour is a girl who is brash but still trying to be nice, while Sweet is always nice to everyone she meets. Their names are Sweet and Sour Grapes, so they perfectly match this trope, not only because of their names, but also their personalities!

* AntiVillain: She worked for Raspberry Tart and Purple Pieman and helped them in their schemes, but she wasn't actually evil.
* BetaBitch: To Raspberry Tart until their HeelFaceTurn. Although she isn't actively mean, she bends to Raspberry Tart's more domineering personality and goes along with the nasty plots.

[[caption-width-right:300:Peppermint Fizz's Season 4 design.]]
* AdaptedOut: Completely absent in the 2009 series due to Hasbro's ''"healthy snacks"'' policy.
* AlphaBitch: Though she outgrows it later on.
* AntiHero: She serves as one in her introductory episodes. She drops this after her redesign.
* CheatersNeverProsper: In "Peppermint's Pet Peeve", she cheats in the "Best Pets" competition, resulting in her and Cola Chameleon being disqualified.
* DeadpanSnarker: She is pretty snarky at first but becomes nicer at the end.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She starts off as cold and harsh, but grows more kind and friendly over time.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: Was initially unwelcome of Rainbow Sherbet because she is different than everyone else, and her resentment almost results in her leaving for good; she learns her lesson when Strawberry throws a costume party where everything is the same, and Peppermint realizes being the same would be boring.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: She hits all five stages throughout "The Costume Party" in accordance with her negative reaction toward Rainbow Sherbert. She is unwelcome towards her arrival in Strawberryland (denial), repeatedly lashes out at everyone because she's not like them (anger), her words hurt Rainbow and she considers moving away (bargaining), she attends a costume party held by Strawberry where everything's the same and breaks down when she doesn't get what she wants (depression), and apologizes to Rainbow and finally accepts her as a friend, even though she's different (acceptance).
* GenderFlip: The Tin Woodsman is her character during the events of "Berry Brick Road" and the Coachman in "The Play's The Thing", when both are male in the original fairy tales.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Evolves into this.
* HeelFaceTurn: Peppermint starts off as grumpy, snobby, and arrogant, especially when she and the girls meet Rainbow Sherbet, but after she is tricked into going to a Goodbye Party for Rainbow, everyone is wearing the same costume Peppermint was wearing, including Rainbow. This helps Peppermint realize that it's okay to be different than other people and that she shouldn't leave because she's different, and then she apologizes to Rainbow for how she treated her, leading everyone to turn the Goodbye Party into a friendship party.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: "Playing to Beat the Band" reveals that she feels like an outsider and joins Strawberry's band in an attempt to befriend her (despite Strawberry and the others already viewing her as a friend).
* IneffectualLoner: She appears to have jealousy issues, but feels alone until she is befriended by Strawberry and her friends.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Generally the most negative character in the show, but does show a softer side every once in a while. Her more jerkish qualities become more subdued later on.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: See PyrrhicVictory, below.
* NoIndoorVoice: Tends to have this when she gets mad.
* PyrrhicVictory: In "Win Some, Lose Some", Peppermint Fizz celebrates her victory due to the possibility of getting her hands on Strawberry Shortcake's garden, but [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regrets what she did]] when Strawberry Shortcake gives Apple Dumplin' the exact opposite of a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* RedOniBlueOni: Strawberry is talkative and sweet while Peppermint is more introverted and stubborn.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Both ends. She gives one to Rainbow indirectly because they are different in "The Costume Party". Keep in mind that in "Peppermint's Pet Peeve", she got on the receiving end for cheating, which caused her to be disqualified! She also gives herself one when she realizes that she hurt the others in "Win Some, Lose Some".
* {{Tomboy}}: She is one of the lesser feminine characters.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Peppermint is the most tomboyish female character in the 2003/2007 series, due to not loving fashion or girly stuff, while Strawberry is a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who is active and energetic but enjoys playing dress up from time to time. Peppermint is also more of a tomboy in comparison to all of Strawberry's other female friends, due to the fact that they all play dress up from time to time but still adventurous.
* TomboyishPonytail: She gained this in her 2007 redesign.

Licorice Whip's sidekick/pet [[ADogNamedDog raven]] who helps him horsenap ponies, including Honey Pie Pony. After he's tricked into almost untying Honey Pie's rope, Licorice Whip [[KickTheDog chases him away]]. When Raven meets Strawberry and her friends, he becomes so moved by the care they show for Honey Pie that he helps them rescue her. Though his only cartoon appearance in the 2003 series is "Festival of the Fillies", he returns for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game ''Strawberry Shortcake: Ice Cream Island Riding Camp''.
----
* ADogNamedDog: A raven named..."Raven".
* BeleagueredAssistant: BadBoss Licorice Whip constantly berates him, shouts at him, steals his ideas, and even tries to hit him. Though Raven is annoyed by his horrible behavior, he surprisingly still cares for him enough to get help when Licorice Whip is stranded amidst flooded ice cream in the [=GBA=] game.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Licorice Whip drives him away, Raven overhears Strawberry and her friends vowing to never stop looking for Honey Pie Pony. Moved to tears by their loyalty and kind words, Raven helps them by leading them to the dock where Licorice Whip is about to sail with the captive ponies.
-->'''Raven''': Nobody ever thought ''I'' was special. ''Nobody ever cared about me like that!'' (sobs) (normal voice) If she means that much to ya, maybe there's somethin' I can do to help ya get her back!
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Inverted in that Raven is allowed to join the festival after he turns on Licorice Whip to help Strawberry and friends rescue Honey Pie and the ponies. He does return to Licorice Whip's side for the [=GBA=] game, but he's still nice to Strawberry and her friends.
* SwissArmyTears: In the GBA game, the player can use Raven's tears to partially [[HeartsAreHealth restore]] their LifeMeter during the Sundae Mountains level.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Jerry Longe

The first villain in the 2003 series, he's a traveling horsenapper who appears in "Festival of the Fillies" and proceeds to kidnap Honey Pie Pony and the other fillies on Ice Cream Island. He has a pet bird named Raven who later undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. While he doesn't return in the cartoon, he comes back in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game ''Strawberry Shortcake: Ice Cream Island Riding Camp.''
----

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He kidnaps horses and exploits them for money. He's not too kind to Raven, either.
* DarkIsEvil: He's a villain who wears black clothing.
* HeelFaceTurn: At the end of the game when you rescue him.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the GBA game, he's drilling the cookie crust foundation of Ice Cream Island to and attempts to sell it as snacks. His reckless drilling ultimately gets him into trouble which Strawberry and co. must help him out of.
* KickTheDog: After Honey Pie almost tricks Raven into untying the rope on her neck, Licorice Whip tries to hit him before shooing him away.
-->'''Licorice Whip''': RAVEN! Why are you untying my star horse?!
-->'''Raven''': But-Hey, boss! The rope was scratching her!
-->'''Licorice Whip''': Get out of here now!! I never want to see you again!
* LeanAndMean: Is this for "Festival of the Fillies", but he later [[HeelFaceTurn reforms]] in the [=GBA=] game.
* MeaningfulName: Licorice is generally regarded as an unpleasant-tasting treat, and whips are commonly associated with abusive circus ringmasters, both of which sum up Licorice Whip well.
* RepulsiveRingmaster: In "Festival of the Fillies", Licorice Whip kidnaps Honey Pie Pony for his horse circus, where he exploits horses for money by making them do dangerous tricks.
* SinisterSchnoz: He has a large nose, and is a villain.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:"The Play's The Thing" Characters]]
!In general
* ShoutOut: From ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}''
!!Cinderella
She's the main heroine, who gets to go to a royal ball with help from her fairy godmother. Played by Strawberry Shortcake under the name "Strawberella".
----
* ButtMonkey: Cinderella experiences most of the abuse that her WickedStepmother and [[CainAndAbel Wicked Step-sisters]] dish out.
* CainAndAbel: While her wicked stepsisters are "Cain", Cinderella herself is "Abel".
* TheHero: Of course she is, just like she was in the original ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}''.
* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: After the destruction of her dress when the WickedStepmother steps in, Cinderella experiences this.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: She just looks like Strawberry Shortcake in a costume.
!!The Fairy Godmother
* BigGood: Her goal is to help Cinderella out.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She is a blonde and is good in alignment.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: She [[AgeLift looks younger]].
!!Prince Charming
!!Wicked Stepmother
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[DefiedTrope That is, until Angel Cake rectifies the story.]]
* BigBad: The Wicked Stepmother and her children (who [[RaceLift apparently have]] been [[{{Retcon}} changed]] to her stepchildren) serve as this.
* KickTheDog: She sends Cinderella into a HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath by tearing apart the dress chosen by the latter in front of her.
* WickedStepmother: Well, duh, especially when she was one in the original version!
* YouDontLookLikeYou: She looks much younger, and resembles Blueberry Muffin in a costume..
!!Wicked Step-sisters
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[DefiedTrope That is, until Angel Cake rectifies the story.]]
* CainAndAbel: Not that they are Cinderella's siblings by blood, but they are Cain, and she is Abel..
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Their appearance is now similar to Ginger Snap and Orange Blossom in costumes. Doubles as RaceLift.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:"Berry Brick Road" Characters]]
!In general
* ShoutOut: These characters originated from the ''Literature/TheWizardOfOz'' series.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: These characters have gotten changes to their design.
!!Glinda the Good Witch
This character is a character who was derived from the ''Literature/TheWizardOfOz'' series. Being opposed to whatever her nasty sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, is doing, Glinda makes her lair in the famous Emerald City. She appears in both segments of "Berry Brick Road", the first of which gives her a minor role, and in the latter of which she has an impact on the plot.
----
* BigGood: She and the Wizard of Oz serve as this.
* CainAndAbel: Being a kind person, Glinda would be quite easy to pick to represent Abel. (The Wicked Witch is Cain.)
* CuteWitch: A variant. She is quite pretty for a witch.
* TheGoodKing: [[GenderInvertedTrope Inverted by gender]]. She has the right personality traits, being wise, benevolent, and fair, but is female. Doubles as a direct inversion to the GodSaveUsFromTheQueen trope.
* PrincessesRule: Implied. There is no sign of a king or queen, and it's ambiguous as to whether she is a princess or an actual queen.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In the "Toto's Tale" segment, she reveals that Strawberry Shortcake just needs to tap-dance in the magic slippers that she got.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: She looks more like Plum Puddin' dressed like a queen or princess.
!!The Wizard of Oz
This charcter is the ultimate goal for Strawberry Shortcake when she crash-lands her house in an attempt to escape the storm. He and Glinda are great friends. His powers are so great, that the heroes come to seek him to have their wishes granted. His lair is in the Emerald City.
----
* IdenticalStranger: He resembles Huckleberry Pie.
* {{Jumpscare}}: The Wizard delivers one in his introduction. Though this time, it doesn't work.
--> '''Wizard of Oz:''' "Who are you!? And what do you want with the wizard!?"
* MilesGloriosus: His true form is revealed to look just like Huckleberry Pie. That said he MIGHT be a wizard...
* YouDontLookLikeYou: He now resembles Huckleberry Pie, and his voice is higher-pitched to match.
!!The Scarecrow
This character is first seen when Strawberry Shortcake passes by a farm on her way to the Emerald City. He wants an actual brain because he feels that his straw brain doesn't allow him to hold his memory properly. Played by Ginger Snap in ''Berry Brick Road''.
----
* BrainyBrunette: Despite his straw brain, this guy has smarts that you should not laugh at. He was behind the idea that the Tin Woodsman [[AttackReflector reflects a spell]] by jumping in front of it! It helps that Ginger Snap is a part of his character. (She is one herself, after all.)
* ForgetfulJones: The Scarecrow's FreudianExcuse for his quest to get a real brain instead of a straw one.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Due to being infused with Ginger Snap's character, the Scarecrow has pigtails coming from his head. Said pigtails are longer, however, going down to his waist.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The Scarecrow now looks like Ginger Snap does, though he has longer pigtails. His dungaree is now replaced with the jacket and jeans that she usually wears.
!!The Tin Woodsman/Nick Chopper
This character is first seen when Strawberry Shortcake walks by the forest that he was working at. Due to his rusty joints, Nick was [[AndIMustScream immobilised]], but Strawberry Shortcake used an oiling can that she and Pupcake found to lubricate the Tin Woodsman's joints and allow him to move again. Played by Angel Cake in ''Berry Brick Road''.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Since Peppermint Fizz makes part of his character (She herself can be a jerk.), he has more jerkass moments, such as reacting in a WhatTheHellHero manner when the Scarecrow reveals his desire for a brain.
* AndIMustScream: Being adapted into a kid-friendly show didn't save him from this. Fortunately, Strawberry Shortcake ends the condition by lubricating his joints.
* AttackReflector: Courtesy of the Scarecrow's plan, the Wicked Witch of the West gets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hit by her own spell]] when the Tin Woodsman bounces it back with his own chest as she attacks the group.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He evolves into this.
* WhatTheHellHero: Downplayed, but Nick is quite miffed when the Scarecrow reveals his desire to get his straw brain replaced with a real one.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: His face was torn off and replaced with something like Peppermint Fizz's face.
!!The Cowardly Lion
This character is first seen after Nick Chopper joins the gang. Though he is a lion, this character does not have much courage. Fortunately, Strawberry Shortcake is certain that some courage exists within his own heart, even after she sees his own tail scaring him. Played by Orange Blossom in ''Berry Brick Road''.
----
* AbsurdPhobia: The scene where he is introduced shows his ''own tail'' scaring him out of his wits.
* BeastWithAHumanFace: His face resembles Orange Blossom's.
* CowardlyLion: He can be brave when prompted to. He ''is'', after all, the TropeNamer.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He has a hair bow.
* OhCrap: His reaction to spotting the Wicked Witch heading in the group's direction.
* TheParanoiac: At first. He had a tough time getting over it, but eventually did.
* TalkingAnimal: Just like the original.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Aside from being bipedal like his counterpart from the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz film version of the]] ''[[Literature/TheWizardOfOz Oz]]'' series., he now has a hair bow and the face of an African Anerican person with braids surrounding his face.
!!The Berrykins
These guys are human-looking dwarves that can be found throughout Oz. They are rather plump, although this does not hinder their movement. Three of them are forced to work for the Wicked Witch of the West and are freed after Strawberry Shortcake accidentally launches her into a dungeon. Apparently, the Berrykins were using "Gem-berries" for their civilisation, but got careless and started taking them for granted, which ended up endangering the Gem-berries.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Their original species name was "Munchkin".
* FatAndSkinny: Their typical member is the "fat". Unless the Tin Woodsman[[note]]Nick Chopper[[/note]] was retconned to not be part of their race, he would be the "skinny", though he is taller than their average member.
* {{Lilliputians}}: Downplayed. They are smaller than your typical human, but are still a foot tall. Given that his original counterpart was part of their race, the Tin Woodsman may be their tallest member, about the size of a human kid.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: They are now smaller, and their bodies (except the Tin Woodsman's) are plumper.
!!The Wicked Witch of the West
Aka Gladys, the Wicked Witch of the West serves as the BigBad for the "Berry Brick Road" arc, which is based on her home series, the ''Literature/TheWizardOfOz'' series. She has a pair of magic slippers that Strawberry Shortcake unwittingly steals from her after she crashes her house nearby. At this, the Wicked Witch of the West tries to get the slippers that she lost, using sneakers as a makeshift replacement until then. She is also responsible for endangering the Gem-Berries, destroying a lot of them, which Strawberry Shortcake tries to prevent when she discovers this.
----
* BadBoss: She makes her debut appearance treating three poor Berrykins badly.
* CainAndAbel: The Wicked Witch is portrayed as Cain, while Glinda has the role of Abel.
* DisintegratorRay: The Wicked Witch fired lasers from her wand that have a similar effect to destroy the Gem-Berries.
* DisneyDeath: See TakenForGranite and UnexplainedRecovery, below.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: See TakenForGranite, below.
* IdiotBall: The Witch is too busy bossing around the three Berrykins to notice that she is about to get smashed... until Strawberry Shortcake comes too close and smashes the house she was flying in nearby. The Witch notices too late and manages to jump clear of the area in which she would become SquashedFlat, but due to being too slow gets thrown into the dungeon by the blast from the impact generated by Strawberry Shortcake's abode.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Witch was a BadBoss to three Berrykins. She almost gets flattened by Strawberry Shortcake's house and loses the Magic Slippers, which Strawberry Shortcake is pressured into stealing by those same Berrykins.
* OhCrap: Her reaction when the Tin Woodsman [[AttackReflector bounces her spell back in her direction with his own body]].
* TakenForGranite: She tries to do this to the heroes but [[HoistByHisOwnPetard suffers this herself]] when Nick Chopper the Tin Woodsman turns his body into an AttackReflector as per the Scarecrow's plan.
* UnexplainedRecovery: How DID the Witch escape her petrification in the "Toto's Tale" segment.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Her hair is now purple and she has fair skin, a grape motif, and Sour Grapes' facial features, ThinChinOfSin included.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:"Sleeping Beauty" Characters]]
!In general
* ShoutOut: These characters trace their origin to the fairy tale ''Literature/SleepingBeauty''.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Their designs suffered changes.
!!Princess Strawberry Rose
This character made her debut in the fairytale ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' and appears in the ''Strawberry Shortcake'' episode of the same name. Played by Strawberry Shortcake.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: She was known in Aurora in the Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''. The original ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'' had never given her an actual name, instead referring her to as "Sleeping Beauty". The name she used became the name of the episode she starred in.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Her curse when she pricks her finger, due to the target audience; instead of dying, she'll just disappear forever.
* ForcedSleep: The Brambleberry Fairy does this to her with her sopoforic brambleberries. [[DisproportionateRetribution All because she didn't get invited to see Princess Strawberry Rose's birth.]][[note]]Actually, she was invited, it's just that the brambleberry bushes that she planted around the house she lives in [[DidntThinkThisThrough created an effective dead-zone for delivery.]][[/note]]
* TheGoodKing: Strawberry Rose eventually becomes a [[GenderInvertedTrope gender inversion]] thanks to the gifts that she received. She doubles as an inversion of GodSaveUsFromTheQueen.
* PrincessesRule: Her parents are nowhere to be seen.
* TurnTheOtherCheek: She was put into a ForcedSleep by a fairy who wanted to get revenge on her. Yet she still invites that fairy to a party that she's throwing at the end of the episode. Probably justified: she probably forgot about said fairy's curse, having spent almost sixteen years before it took effect, and even if she didn't, thanks to the other fairies, she probably would've forgiven her anyway anyway.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: She was changed to like Strawberry Shortcake wearing a princess costume.
!!Prince Huckleberry
Prince Huckleberry is based on the Prince from ''Literature/SleepingBeauty''. He was eavesdropping on the Brambleberry Fairy's plot, and was quick to bring it up to her after she suffers her VillainousBreakdown. During his lecture, Prince Huckleberry reveals that it was the Brambleberry Fairy's fault that she didn't get the invitation. She realises from listening to him that her Brambleberry bushes that she set up as an anti-robbery fence actually blocked everyone. Played by Huckleberry Pie.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: The Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' named him "Phillip". His name was unknown in the base story.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He and the Brambleberry Fairy do not fight when they meet, instead talking it out.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Given his stature, this guy shouldn't have been sent flying through the bushes behind his back when the Brambleberry Fairy accidentally hit him with her wings.
* GiantSpaceFleaOutOfNowhere: Prince Huckleberry is a benevolent example. His first appearance is after the Brambleberry Fairy realises that she was the one in the wrong and they collide. He wasn't mentioned anywhere, although fans did know that a prince would come later.
* WhatTheHellHero: He is quick to mention to the Brambleberry Fairy in his lecture that if you want to defend your house from robbers, putting brambleberries around your house [[GoneHorriblyRight Goes Horribly Right]] due to creating a delivery dead-zone. Downplayed as Prince Huckleberry neither raises his voice nor gets angry during his lecture.
!!The Berry Fairies
A group of four fairies who bestow gifts on Strawberry Rose; similar to the fairies from the original story. Consists of Gingerberry Fairy (Ginger Snap), Rainbowberry Fairy (Rainbow Sherbert), Angelberry Fairy (Angel Cake), Orangeberry Fairy (Orange Blossom) and Appleberry Fairy (Apple Dumplin') in the book adaptation. In "Sleeping Beauty", Angelberry Fairy was replaced with Tangerinaberry Fairy (Tangerine Torta).
!!The Brambleberry Fairy
This character made her only appearance, serving as the BigBad of "Sleeping Beauty". She crashed the party centered around Princess Strawberry Rose's birth because she thought that nobody invited her, so in order to take revenge, she used her magic to curse Princess Strawberry Rose. Played by Angel Cake in the episode version and Blueberry Muffin in the storybook adaptation.
----
* AdaptationalKarma: The Brambleberry Fairy gets a self-inflicted variation this time. Rather than [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse leaving the plot]] or being slain by the prince, she breaks down upon realising that what happened was her fault all this time.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has brown skin.
* BigBad: Of "Sleeping Beauty".
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Brambleberry Fairy put in brambleberry bushes that would surround her home to protect it from robbers. What she didn't realise was that those bushes made delivering things to her more difficult with their thorns, which on top of the fact that she has a bad tendency to ignore things is the real reason why she didn't get an invitation.
* DisproportionateRetribution: She tries to off Princess Strawberry Rose just because she wasn't invited.
* FailedASpotCheck: The Brambleberry Fairy does not even see the invitation in her brambleberry bushes even though the Page dropped it there in plain sight. Probably justified as the Brambleberry Fairy tends to not listen.
* ForcedSleep: Thanks to the Apple Fairy's meddling, the Brambleberry Fairy winds up doing this rather than what she intended.
* GoneHorriblyRight: See DidntThinkThisThrough. The Brambleberry Fairy planted brambleberry bushes to defend her house from thieves, but that also created a delivery dead-zone.
* HeelFaceTurn: She undergoes one near the end. Thanks, Prince Huckleberry.
* IgnoringBySinging: Because she is so pissed when she crashes the party, she blocks out every attempt to calm her ire with this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After she goes to see Princess Strawberry Rose following the winter, the Brambleberry Fairy realises that ''she'' was the one in the wrong.
* NeverMyFault: The Brambleberry Fairy blames the kingdom for not delivering her an invitation. She doesn't realise (at first) that [[DidntThinkThisThrough she was the one at fault with those brambleberry bushes of hers, which created a dead-zone for delivery]], as Prince Huckleberry notes in his lecture at the end.
* RevengeBeforeReason: See DisproportionateRetribution.
* UninvitedToTheParty: Subverted. She just THINKS that.

[[folder:"A Princess Named Rap" Characters]]
!In general
* ShoutOut: From ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}''
!!Rapunzel
* ActorAllusion: InUniverse, Rapunzel takes an interest in ocean navigation and sails a boat at the end of the episode, like her "actor" Rainbow Sherbert.
!! Rapunzel's Parents
* CanonForeigner: Neither have a counterpart in the Strawberry Shortcake cast.
* TheFaceless: Neither's face is shown throughout the entire episode. Both are always facing away from the camera or have their faces cut off by the frame, showing only their body from the neck down.
* FatAndSkinny: Rapunzel's father is the "fat" to her mother's "skinny".
!!Professor Grapes
* AdaptationalJobChange: In the original tale, she was a witch. Here, she's a regular professor.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Is a far cry from the child kidnapping witch from the original tale, though she does still try to send Rapunzel to an isolated island. Grapes even goes through a HeelFaceTurn at the end after Rapunzel saves her life.
!!Maid Strawberry and Squire Huckleberry
* DecompositeCharacter: Both fulfill the role of the prince in the story, visitng Rapunzel in her tower without the Professor's knowledge.

* CoolUncle: Gender-flipped variation. She's always supportive of Strawberry, and donates her old food truck for Strawberry to use when she first arrives. Praline's also had several episodes dedicated to her helping her niece, whether it's getting ready for a [[ThanksgivingEpisode Berry Bounty Banquet]] or recovering from a bad day.
* HypercompetentSidekick: To the mayor, it's implied that he's incredibly incompetent without her assistance.
* MobileKiosk: Back in her younger days, she used to run a food truck called the Praline Dream. It didn't work out, so she gave it to Strawberry Shortcake, who rebranded it the Extraordinary Berry.

[[folder:Bread Pudding]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Chirag Naik
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bread_pudding_webp.png]]

The fussy and stuck-up assistant manager of the Berryworks. He initially served as an antagonist alongside his friends Raspberry Tart and Sour Grapes until the Season 1 finale, where he befriended the Berry Besties.
----
* CausticCritic: Very hard to please. This aspect of his character mostly fades away when he TookALevelInKindness.
* CommonalityConnection: He befriends Lime Chiffon and Crepe Suzette due to their mutual love of fashion.
* TheFashionista: Becomes one of his primary character traits. He's revealed to be a huge fan of Lime Chiffon's fashion designer father, Fluffy Chiffon, to the point where he initially tried to befriend her just to get a limited-edition waistcoat he designed. Eventually he and Lime form a genuine friendship due to their shared love of fashion.
* FreudianExcuse: In "Bread Pudding's New BFF", he reveals that his snobby behavior stems from when he was little. He was shy and clumsy, which got him bullied, and he found it easier to make fun of other berries before they could mock him.
* ImprobableAge: He can't be older than his early teens, yet he supervises a food truck lot. It's likely his mother, manager of the Berryworks, just gave him the job.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: A lot of Bread's self-worth is tied to his power over others. Suspicions that he might lose his assistant manager job are enough to send him into a panic attack.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He's just as much a fashion enthusiast as Lime, and in "Strawberry Shortcake and the Beast of Berry Bog", he wears a dress as his Fright Fall costume for most of the special.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Once he befriends the berry besties. He's still self-centred and a snob, but he doesn't go out of his way to make any berry miserable.
* LoopholeAbuse: Will occasionally bend the rules, either for selfish purposes or to help his friends, like when he classified an oven in a wagon as a cart just so Strawberry can continue working at the Berryworks after the Pieman stole her truck.
* OutOfFocus: Despite being one of the main characters, it's rare for an episode to focus solely on him. Even in musical episodes, not once has he ever been allowed to sing without another character accompanying him.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Is this with Lime Chiffon and Raspberry Tart.
* RulesLawyer: He carries around a list of the Berryworks guidelines with him, and is quick to criticize whoever breaks them, occasionally for his own benefit.
** In "Huck's New Job", Bread fires Huckleberry from the Berryworks because his music annoyed him upon realizing he doesn't own a cart, as the rules explicitly state all vendors need to own a cart to work there. Bread rehires Huck after he gets his "Berry-Oke Wagon".
* SixthRanger: He officially joins the friend group alongside Raspberry Tart and Sour Grapes (kinda) at the end of Season 1.

* SiblingRivalry: Blueberry has one with her brother, with the two constantly fighting and rarely acting nice towards each other.

A robot created by Lemon Meringue to help Strawberry Shortcake's business. Is occasionally used by Lemon Meringue as a robotic assistant.
----
* TheBusCameBack: "Hot, Fresh, and Trending" has the Cakenator (presumably the 7th version) fully return outside of the RunningGag, making occasional reappearances afterward, and it's even managed to not explode!
* GoneHorriblyRight: The Cakenator 6 does help Strawberry Shortcake with her food truck, but her quick and perfect baking skills end up outshining Strawberry and nearly cuts her out of her business altogether.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Because it was made to bake recipes perfectly, it doesn't understand the idea that she'll have to adjust them to the customer's preferences. When Strawberry tries explaining this, it's unable to process the concept and explodes.
* HandBlast: Her hands have repulsor blasters built-in, though its intended purpose is for quickly baking treats.
* HatOfFlight: The Cakenator 4 and 7 have propellor blades built into their beanie, enabling them to fly.
* MachineMonotone: Talks like this, due to being a robot.
* MadeOfExplodium: Like most of Lemon's inventions, the Cakenator is prone to exploding randomly.
* ThePerfectionist: The Cakenator 6's FatalFlaw, she always bakes pastries exactly as they're listed and won't deviate from the recipe, even if a change is requested. She is enraged/confused when she catches Strawberry Shortcake giving Huckleberry Pie a berry-less pie and someone else's treat extra powdered sugar.
--> '''Cakenator 6:''' "Extra ingredient does not compute! Imperfect item does not compute!"
* RobotMe: She is one of Strawberry Shortcake, having the same YouthfulFreckles and outfit, but is very obviously robotic, with a puppet-like mouth, grey metal "skin", and built-in gagetry. [[JustifiedTrope Justified as Lemon intentionally modeled the Cakenator after Strawberry, so it would literally feel like there's two of her working together.
* RunningGag: The fourth Cakenator's upper half, which sprouted a propeller and flew away, occasionally appears around the Berryworks. After "All About Lemon" the gag has been retired, and "Hot, Fresh, and Trending" has the Cakenator return in full.
* SpeaksInBinary: Well, ''sings'' in binary. In "Strawberry's Friendship Party", the Cakenator attends the titular party in Lemon's place (as she was too busy to go herself) and starts singing a karaoke song in binary.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Has built-in whiskers and [[HandBlast repulsor blasters]] in her hands.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The Cakenator 6 is unable to comprehend the concept of love, which results in her [[MadeOfExplodium death]].
* WeHaveReserves: No matter how many times the Cakenator explodes, Lemon Meringue will always have another version ready.
* YouAreNumberSix: Lemon introduces her as the Cakenator 6, because the first five exploded.

* LovedByAll: She's regarded positively by everyone. Even when Purple Pieman destroys her dress before the Mint Gala, it's only to slight Fluffy Chiffon rather than her.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The only times she's shown modelling is in her debut episode, and making a cameo on fashion magazine covers. Most of the time she's shown doing rather mundane things, like roller-skating at Starfruit Express.
* QueerColors: All of her clothes feature the colors of the transgender flag in some capacity. Invoked with her Mint Gala dresses, both prominently featuring the colors so Banoffee can show how much pride she has in her identity.

A hot dog vendor and pizza cook at the Starfruit Express rollerskating rink who specializes in spicy foods.
----
* AscendedExtra: Originally a regular background character, he became part of the supporting cast in Season 3 due to several episodes taking place where he works.
* ADayInTheLimelight: His first major role in "The Super Spicy Pizza" has him serve as the antagonist of the episode, his temper when asked for non-spicy foods serving as an obstacle to the Berry Besties in getting a pizza slice for Strawberry.
* AngryChef: In "The Super Spicy Pizza", he's known for being mean and angry when someone asks for non-spicy pizza. He drops this after learning how to make non-spicy pizza and befriending the Berry Besties.
* BerserkButton: Being asked to serve a non-spicy pizza, or trying to get more than one spicy pizza slice. He drops this after the Berry Besties teach him how to make non-spicy pizza.
* CripplingOverspecialization: As probably made clear by now, he was only capable of making spicy pizza until the Berry Besties taught him how to make different kinds.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why he gets angry when someone asks him for non-spicy pizza is because he only knew how to make spicy foods, until Strawberry taught him how to make different pizza types.
* MobileKiosk: Used to run a hot dog stand. In season 2, he was replaced by a PaletteSwap and in Season 3 he now runs the Spicy Pizza Stand in Starfruit Express.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: His first few appearances he was a hot dog vendor, but after his ADayInTheLimelight episode he's now the owner of a pizza stand in a rollerskating rink.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Is on the recieving end of one by Strawberry Shortcake for being unaccomodating to his customers needs. This causes him to have a HeelFaceTurn and begin serving non-spicy pizza.
* RecurringExtra: In the first two seasons he was a background character, usually seen in Golden Delicious Park as a hot dog vendor. He's since become the pizza vendor for Starfruit Express, and his hot dog stand is run by a PaletteSwap.

* RunningGag: The fact that he has a somewhat similar appearance to Strawberry leads to her friends mistaking him for her when viewed from behind.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Her outfit is mocked by Raspberry Tart and Bread Pudding in "Waiting for Genoise", with both calling her clothes tacky.

Mr. Mangosteen's fiance, who's usually seen running odd jobs around Big Apple City.

----
* ClarkKenting: Discussed. Lime Chiffon asks how Tangerine Smash's alter-ego, Tangerine Drizzle, can be an effective disguise when there's little difference in appearance aside from glasses.

* EvilDoppelganger: Guava Girl has one in Legume Lass.

A scam artist who sells fake products to the unsuspecting people of Big Apple City. He's also the brother of the Purple Pieman.
----
* BlatantLies: As part of his pitch for his "Sensational Sweetening Spritz", he claims to be friends with Kiki Keylime, and then proceeds to show off a photo of Kiki with a cutout of him hastily taped to it.
* ConnectedAllAlong: The "Perfect Holiday" special reveals he's the brother of Purple Pieman.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** In his debut episode, he made his Sensational Sweetening Spritz[[note]]Literally just water and brown sugar[[/note]] right where he sells it, in full public view, which naturally gets him caught by Raspberry and Strawberry.
** He didn't research the places he claims to get the ingredients from, so when Strawberry asks him what his favorite place between the Berryville Pumpkin Patch or Orange Grove, he responds with both, at which point Strawberry reveals neither exist due to the small size of the town, which likewise exposes his scheme to his customers.
** In "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday" He and Pieman attempt to steal the cart belonging to the Cookie Vendor [[spoiler:who is actually Cinnamon Swirl,]] in full public view with several of their enemies, and the Cookie Vendor herself, closeby. Naturally, they're caught.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Him and Purple Pieman are brothers, but "Perfect Holiday" is the first time they interact onscreen. It's implied the reason for this is because Pieman can't stand Johnnycake's penchant for dramatics and showmanship.
* MobileKiosk: As part of his traveling salesman shtick, he sold his Sensational Sweetening Spritz from his truck.
* RhymesOnADime: He's a showman, and almost every sentence he speaks is a rhyme to entertain his crowd with.
** In "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday", Pieman forces him to stop rhyming, as his theatrics risk exposing their scheme to the public.
* SiblingsInCrime: He becomes this with Purple Pieman in the "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday" special. As baking cinnamon cookies is a Winterswirl tradition, the two steal every ounce of cinnamon in the city so no one can make it themselves, then they proceed to sell cinnamon cookies to everyone in order to prop themselves up as the heroes of Winterswirl holiday.
* SnakeOilSalesman: His entire character revolves around this.
** His introductory episode has him selling "Sensational Sweetening Spritz" that supposedly improves the taste of any sweets, but in reality is just a brown sugar and water mixture.
** In the "Beast of Berry Bog" special, Johnnycake sells necklaces that supposedly repel the beast, which are very obviously just cheap trinkets.

[[caption-width-right:300:Lemon Tort (left) and Lime Tart (right)]]

Lime Chiffon and Lemon Meringue's former business partners. Lime Tart is a stuck-up perfectionist and the former owner of the All-Time Lime Cart. Lemon Tort is an eccentric mad scientist and owner of the Lemonade Parade juice cart. At some point the two befriended each other, becoming business partners and rivals to the Berry Besties.
----
* AwesomeButImpractical: Lemon Tort's more concerned with her inventions being cool than being useful. She gives her cart the ability to fly and fire a powerful hose of lemonade, despite neither being beneficial for her business. The latter even blasts away a customer after he simply asked for a glass of lemonade.
* ComicalOverreaction: Lime Tart gets angry at Lime Chiffon for supposedly organizing a pile of limes incorrectly, and refers to it as "chaos". She then blows up at a customer for mistakenly ordering lemonade at their limeade cart, before telling them to leave because she'll only cater to lime enthusiasts.
* {{Expy}}: Lemon Tort is a very clear parody of Doc Brown from ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''.
* {{Foil}}: Both of them serve as this to their former business partners.
** Lemon Tort to Lemon Meringue. While Meringue is also a mad scientist inventor, most of her inventions are built to serve a purpose in improving the Berryworks and helping her friends with their businesses, and she's generally more level-headed. Tort, on the other hand, prioritizes building cool things that ultimately serve no real purpose and has a more manic personality.
** Lime Tart to Lime Chiffon: Chiffon and Tart are both concerned with neatness and rules, but while Chiffon is more relaxed with her approach, Tart is obsessed with making sure everything is organized to the point of overreaction and excessiveness.

--> '''Lime Tart:''' "Limes should be placed largest at the bottom, smallest at the top, less ripe to the right, more ripe to the left! ''This is chaos!''
* MobileKiosk: The two co-own the Lemonade Parade, which initially was solely owned by Lemon Tort until the two quit the Berryworks.
* OddFriendship: Lemon Tort is a loud and eccentric inventor who has a habit of building impressive yet pointless inventions, while Lime Tart is a perfectionist micro-manager who gets infuriated at even the slightest flaw. Despite the two having very little in common, they get along well and have only argued once in the series, which they managed to quickly resolve.
* ThePerfectionist: Lime Tart's debut episode establishes this as the primary reason why her partnership with Lime Chiffon didn't work out. Tart constantly nitpicks every perceived blemish, no matter how small, to the point where she quits because she couldn't handle the "chaos" of how Chiffon was handling their business.
* TheRival: They act as this towards Lime Chiffon and Lemon Meringue, and their friends to an extent.
* ShoutOut: Lemon Tort is a walking Franchise/BackToTheFuture reference.
*** Her design is similar to Doc Brown.
*** She drives the Lemonade Parade juice cart, which has a very similar appearance to the Delorean, including having a [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII hover mode]].
*** When she quits the Berryworks, she drives away, leaving a fiery trail and a spinning license plate behind.
*** Her catchphrase is "Great butterscotch!", similar to Doc Brown's "Great scott!"
* VillainousFriendship: With each other. They're even shown to work together much better than with their original partners.

A rude online streamer/movie critic who degrades and criticizes movies he doesn't like.
----
* CausticCritic: Declares the Tangerine Smash movie to be terrible before it even begins.
* DisruptingTheTheater: He talks loudly in the theater, uses his phone to text and livestream a pre-emptive review, and kicks the seat in front of him (which happens to be where Lemon Meringue is). It get to the point where Lemon Meringue decides to build a boxing glove launcher to punch him as revenge, though Orange Blossom intervenes and gets him to leave before this can happen.
* {{Expy}}: To [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy]], being an overweight, obnoxiously stuck-up nerd about superheroes, he even uses Comic Book Guy's catchphrase and has a Ralph Bakshi-inspired voice.
--> '''Pineapple Clafoutis:''' Worst. Superberry. EVER!
* OneShotCharacter: Only appeared in "Let's Go To The Movies".
* StrawMisogynist: One of his primary reasons for hating Tangerine Smash is because the titular hero is a woman.

A famous baker in Big Apple City, she became the new owner of the Berryworks in Season 3, so she can undermine the Berry Besties to prevent them from becoming more successful than her.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: She buys the Berryworks, then creates new regulations that prohibit the Besties from selling their goods, all to squeeze out competition for her sales. Even after Strawberry pressures her to revoke her rules, Crabapple still plots to get rid of her.
* BadBoss: Not only a slave driver, she gives her workers {{Impossible Task}}s she fully intends to fire them for if failed.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Appears as a sweet old lady, but secretly plots to destroy Strawberry Shortcake's business.
* ConnectedAllAlong: "Kiki [=KeyLime's=] Favorite Things" reveals she and Pieman were once master and apprentice.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "The Spec-Taco-ular Pets", she falsely bans the Berryworks pets, but only because she was led to believe that they were making a mess around the Berryworks. Once provided with clear evidence they weren't the culprits, she allows them to stay and even holds Cherry and Cheese responsible despite them being her assistants.
* EvilMentor: She acted as this for the Purple Pieman when he first arrived in the city, turning him into the corrupt, selfish man he is today.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Occasionally her appearances don't involve sabotaging the Berry Besties. In "Strawberry's Shortcake", she introduces an activity where the vendors make something involving their namesake sweet just for fun, with no malicious intent.
* NotSoSimilar: She was originally Strawberry's idol because the girl thought she was a fellow CountryMouse who struck it big the way she dreams of. Unfortunately, Crabapple's success has corrupted her into a ruthless businesswoman.

The creepy and weird twin assistants of Crabapple Jam.
----
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: The twins' hair is styled and colored to look like the baked goods they're named after. This makes them look strange next to Strawberry and her friends, who have technicolored hair but ordinary styles.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Their first few episodes portrayed them as nothing more than creepy twins whose sole purpose was to hinder the main cast. Episodes from "The Spec-Taco-ular Pets" onwards would give them slightly more individuality and personalities, making them more into [[TheBully bullies who annoy the main cast]], rather than generic goons.
* CreepyTwins: They acted like this until "The Spec-Taco-ular Pets", when they began acting more normal, albiet still mean and sometimes weird.
* TheDividual: Are never seen without each other, and are near identical in personality.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Weirdly, in "Strawberry's Perfect Present", they don't attempt to do anything bad and even genuinely thank Strawberry for her SecretSanta gift.
* SucksAtDancing: When attempting a popular [[Platform/TikTok TikTaco]] dance, both fail spectacularly at it multiple times, despite the dance being so simple that the Berryworks pets were able to perfom it perfectly after watching a video of it once.

* TheDitz: Huck is fairly dense, even described as such by Strawberry, albiet indirectly.

* MobileKiosk: Huck initially didn't have a vendor cart in the Berryworks until “Huck's New Job”. Bread Pudding, annoyed by Huck's constant singing, exploited a rule about all Berryworks vendors needing a cart to work there so he'd have an excuse to fire Huck. After trying (and failing) to work at the other Berry Besties' carts to stay, they then realize he needs a cart of his own and give him the Huckleberry Pie Berryoke Wagon, which convinces Bread to rehire Huck, as he's a karaoke fan.

* CivilizedAnimal[=/=]NearlyNormalAnimal: The 2021 is the most prominent example of all the Berryworks pets. She basically acts as an assistant to Blueberry Muffin while running the Dreamery Creamery, complete with a miniature clipboard.

* {{TabletopGame/Poker}}: In "A Berryworks Mystery" of the 2021 series, Blueberry Muffin mentions that Cheesecake runs an underground poker game for the other pets, which is initially dismissed as Blueberry being her usual kooky self. Becomes a BrickJoke when it turns out that Blueberry was actually telling the truth.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Her 1980s, 2003, and 2009 versions. Her 2021 version initially averted this due to playing an antagonistic role, but plays it straight after her HeelFaceTurn.

** This is finally averted in the 2021 series, which adds the male [[CanonForeigner Bread Pudding]] to the main cast.

* InsaneTrollLogic: He can fall into this at times. In "Who Stole The Pies", he ate several pies that Strawberry had baked despite a sign reading "Hot pies. Only eat when cool.", because he interpreted it as the pies only being allowed for cool people; Strawberry likes his music and thinks he's cool, therefore he can eat the pies. In ''The Beast of Berry Bog'' special, he's convinced that wearing a Frightfall costume will make him lose track of his own identity and suffer DeathOfPersonality.

In "Strawberry Shortcake's Perfect Holiday", her belief in magic is validated when Cinnamon Swirl appears in person, confirming magic truly does exist in the 2021 series.

* BlueIsCalm: In ''Berry in the Big City'', she's usually portrayed as a calm and collected individual, with few things breaking that facade.

* {{Irony}}: Blueberry Muffin is normally portrayed as a total bookworm who loves to read books more than anything. However, the 2021 version of her is revealed to be dyslexic and therefore unable to read books or even a recipe card on her own.

The deceased founder of the Berryworks, back when it was an ordinary cupcake factory.
