Strawberry Shortcake (Character)
Strawberry Shortcake is the eponymous protagonist of the Strawberry Shortcake franchise. She is stated to be the "unofficial princess" of 'Strawberry-land' and is often seen wearing a pink hat with a strawberry design. Strawberry Shortcake is a cartoon character originally used in greeting cards but was later expanded to include dolls, posters, and numerous products, then she appears in TV specials and two very popular television series. In the 1980s version of the franchise, she lives in a shortcake, while in the 2003 version, she lives in a strawberry home. She shares her berry bungalow with her baby sister, Apple Dumplin', her sarcastic cat, Custard, and her mischievous dog named Pupcake. In the 1980 series, Strawberry was an only child and Apple Dumplin' was just one of her friends, while Pupcake was owned by Huckleberry Pie. In the 2009 version, Strawberry calls Apple her cousin and they are the same age. Many of Strawberry Shortcake’s days are spent in the simple pleasures of tending Strawberry berry vines. Strawberry also likes to spend time with her friends, so she frequently visits nearby lands. Strawberry is always cheerful and is ready for helping her friends at any time. In the 1980s, Strawberry was 6 years old. She was independent, but soft, and sensitive and frequently cried and whined about problems. She seems about 9-10 in the 2003 series. In Season 4 of the 2003 version, the show fast forwards to show her as a 16-year-old who can drive and starts to think about career paths. In the 2009 version, she seems like a 12-14-year-old and has a full-time job, but enjoys juvenile activities a tween girl would like. In the 2021 version, she looks 11-14 years old. They can all drive cars, but they still seem young, similar to the 2003 series.
