Cherry Dearest

For the original game counterpart of Girlfriend, see Girlfriend.

Cherina "Cherry" Dearest, aka Girlfriend, is the secondary main protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'.

Appearance
Cherry is a light-skinned teenage girl with long, thick auburn hair. Two short locks of hair stick out from her head, one much thinner and smaller than the other, and the shine on her hair resembles a skull. She wears a sleeveless red minidress and matching high heels. Her fingernails are painted red.

In the winter, she wears a similar sleeveless red minidress with a fluffy white collar, red gloves with white cuffs, white thigh-high stockings with small red bows, and yellow bell earrings.

Personality
Cherry is a mysterious young woman. With a love for cherry soda and her boyfriend Keith, she seems to be calm and collected in almost any situation even in the face of death. Being a demon, she seemingly possesses a great deal of power, but she chooses to hide it. She is always seen with Keith at her side, courtesy of true love as she genuinely loves him very much. Unlike her game counterpart, she's much smarter and not afraid to be a little snarky to her significant other. She expresses consideration towards other characters, and she acts as a voice of reason for Keith. She is very loyal to her friends and people that she cares about in general. Although she may seem very sweet, she actually has a dark side that she is good at hiding. She loves when people underestimate her just so she can see the look on their face when she comes out on top.

Trivia

 * Cherry is a succubus. Succubi are types of demons who feed off of love, so that explains why Cherry is so attached to Keith.
 * Cherry is able to summon her speakers with just a snap of her fingers, which she does at the start of every rap battle.
 * Despite her appearance, Cherry is hundreds of years old. This is possibly because demons age differently compared to humans.
 * Cherry's favorite drink is Cherry Dr. Pepper. Her second favorite is tea.
 * Her favorite food is pumpkin pie.
 * Cherry's favorite kind of pizza topping is olive.
 * Being a demon, Cherry is (mostly) immune to fear. If someone tries to scare her, she will respond by either laughing or making a snarky comment. This is especially true when she plays horror games or watches horror movies, where she reacts with bravado whenever she's exposed to a jumpscare or a particularly terrifying scene.
 * Cherry ​​isn't really scared of anything because she spent most of her childhood in the Underworld before her family came to Earth. However, her fear of lightning is just some sort of instinct kicking in.
 * Cherry is a terrible cook, and the only thing she can make is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She says it's because she doesn't know how to use the stove, oven, or microwave correctly quite yet, and she doesn't want to risk burning the whole kitchen.
 * Cherry is kind of chubby and weighs about 180 pounds. However, she is pretty good at making herself look slimmer.
 * Cherry babysits Skid and Pump on weekends as a way of making extra money.
 * Cherry has a driver's license and likes going for drives late at night. She loves the aesthetic of the streetlamps on the dark road.
 * Cherry is taller than Keith, even when she isn't wearing high heels.
 * Cherry played volleyball in high school, so she can kill a man with a single slap.
 * Cherry learned Latin in high school, and is still fluent in it. She even calls Keith Latin pet names sometimes, such as "mihi amata" (my love) or "mei cara" (mine dearest).
 * Cherry likes to sing karaoke.
 * Cherry's favorite board game is Monopoly, and she always crushes Keith and Pico whenever they play it with her.
 * Cherry is skilled at many different musical instruments. She can play the violin, piano, cello, and flute.
 * Cherry likes to paint her fingernails. She usually keeps them red, but sometimes she’ll shake it up and paint them black or pink instead.
 * Cherry is very fashionable, and likes to go shopping for clothes. Her signature outfit is her red dress, and she has a closet full of them. There are at least ten dresses of the same color in that closet. When she isn't wearing a red dress and heels, she likes to wear sweatpants or jeans, long sleeved shirts, and sneakers.
 * When Keith first met Cherry, she didn't tell him that she was a demon until she fully gained his trust. She showed him her horns, glowing red eyes, and purple skin, and surprisingly, instead of getting freaked out, Keith actually took it pretty well. When Cherry showed him her demon form, he responded with a simple "Whoa, that’s pretty sick." Cherry is very happy that Keith doesn't worry about her demon heritage.
