🌸Cherri🌸

Last post for AAPI Heritage month~

• I've never mentioned anywhere until now, but Cherri has a Japanese heritage. Her full name is "Cherri Sato" (She took her mother's last name, since her parents are divorced). The whereabouts of her father are unknown.

• Her hair is naturally black, but she actually dyes it her signature "cherry" color.

• Another fun fact! Cherri's dream in Episode 56 is heavily inspired by the Japanese celebrity Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. (Who also happens to be a controversial celebrity, but I'm not gonna get into all that lmao) But her aesthetic is associated with kawaii and decora culture.

• I've seen a misconception somewhere that Eve and Cherri are "high school" friends, but they actually met their freshman year of college. Cherri is a college drop out, so Eve felt comfortable keeping in touch with Cherri, since Eve felt she was "falling behind" her other friends.

• I also think it's interesting when readers ship Cherri with any characters, or predict she might catch romantic feelings for anyone, but the truth is she has zero romantic interest for any men. This roots in her resentment for her mother and her mother's relationship with men. She also believed getting Eve together with Zen would not just benefit everyone involved, but also keep Eve "preoccupied" and "content," similarly to how her mother stays busy and distracted with her boyfriends.
