Cheri

Not to be confused with Cherry.

Cheri is a peppy, cub villager from the, making an appearance only in until her return in. Her name is based off the word "cherry," which defines her personality and her coloring. Her name may also be a reference to the French word "chéri" used for endearment to another person ("my love", "my darling").

Unlike other regular villagers, Cheri was not available in, instead making her debut in. This makes her one of two non-islander villagers to make their debut in the updated version rather than the Nintendo 64 version, the other being Punchy.

Appearance
Cheri is a cherry red colored bear with a white muzzle. She has a faint yellow coloring inside her ears. She has eyebrows that make her look like she is mad and has white tips on her paws. She may appear to be snooty at first glance. She also has darker red hair on her head, and her eyebrows are dark red as well. When it rains, she uses a Kiwi umbrella.

Personality
As a peppy villager, Cheri has the tendency to over-react in conversations about trivial subjects such as appearing in competitions and the chance of her losing. This sometimes triggers her to ask for a certain item of clothing or furniture which she needs to enter a competition. She, like other peppy villagers, is rarely discouraged from doing anything, including the usual hobbies. She also has a short attention span, which means she soon forgets arguments or tasks given to the player that are incomplete. She may ask the player, "Sooo, how am I dressed today?" The player is presented with a slide-bar indicating Kinda slobby... and Super formal! Moving the bar close to Super formal! will make her happy.
