Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry is a cute six year old girl who lives inside a cake made of strawberry. Russi Taylor voices her in the series and in the Japanese dub she is voiced by Eri Kitamura.

History
When she was five, she could rap her "Berry Rap" all by herself. On her sixth birthday, she recieved a watering can from a stranger who turned out to be the Purple Pie Man, thus making the watering can go crazy, explode, and flood Strawberryland. She wished, with the sun's help, for the strawberry tree army to combat the Pie Man's crows with pots and pans and the army ended up winning.

Later on, Escargot took Strawberry to the Big Apple in his cart. She was let into the Big Apple Disco because she had a "baby face." After singing a song about her time in the city, she got her own disco song, the "Berry Rap" mentioned before. She climbed the charts, but soon became homesick for her berry patch and left the city, with the lesson learned that music is everywhere.

She came back for a bake off which the grand prize of was a big gazebo. She competed against the Purple Pie Man, who had hypnotized the judge Coco Nutwork and thus rigged the competition, but her strawberry pies snapped Coco out of it and he awarded her first place.

Then she held a pet talent show with her friends Angel Cake, Orange Blossom, and many other people. Purple Pie Man and his partner in crime Sour Grapes tried to sabotoge the show with their pets, Crow the Bird and Dregs the Snake, but Strawberry exposed them when their record started to skip.

She moved into her summer home and invited friends from around the world; she taught the crows to talk berry and so haunted the Pie Man with Berry Talk when he stole her shortcake recipe.

She put on a big dance in the town square and coerced the Pie Man to Cha Cha and limbo, which made him reveal his love for disco dancing.

She also went camping with Peach Blush, Plum Pudding, and the others, and found a baby without a name and her dragon buddy Fig Boot. Strawberry named the baby Baby Needs a Name.

Finally, Strawberry along with her friends (including newcomer Banana Twirl) helped stop a gas cloud the Pie Man created by seeking out the Berry Princess with the Berrykins.
