Backstory
A sweet, helpful person with a high-pitched, Elmo-like voice, Cherry wears a red helmet over a cheerful red mask. He always has a kind word to say to everyone he meets. He enjoys giving gifts that can help others and is very friendly to everyone.

Cherry has said that growing up, his mother called him Jerry, and because he really liked the color red, everyone gave him the nickname Cherry: "Hi, its me, Cherry! My real name is Jeremiah, but my mom called me Jerry and I really like the color red so everybody started calling me Cherry. I hope you have a wonderful day! :D"

His mother's three dying wishes for Cherry were to make everyone around him as happy as he made her, to go to college and get a degree, and to find his father, a Los Santos cop. Cherry said he first committed crimes in the hopes of meeting his father, but soon realized that this wasn't the way to build a relationship with him. So he received an expungement and applied to become a police officer instead.

Relationships
Unified PD
 * Cherry began working for PD tow in the hopes of locating his father, a cop. He does not know who his father is, but based on ages, it is one of perhaps a dozen men on the force. He received his expungement on Sep. 18th, 2022. and began working toward following in his father's footsteps and becoming a police officer. He was hired by Kyle Pred on Jan. 8th, 2023.

BBMC
 * Cherry occasionally came down to Vespucci to say hello to the BBMC and give them gifts. He began a regular relationship with the club after donating 10k and cleaning supplies to Barry Benson and Irwin Dundee to clean up their filthy house in August 2022. Once he began working as a tow employee, he texted or called Barry with helpful tips and cheerful pick-me-ups, and gave him various gifts he "found" around the city.

Cleanbois
 * Cherry gave Lang Buddha, Tony Corleone and Mayor Mickey S a taxi ride on Oct. 13, 2022, so they could go fishing. After he was invited on the yacht with them, they discovered they could not fish. So Lang said he was going to kill Cherry instead. Cherry suggested that this wasn't as sporting as giving him a chance to escape, so they ordered him to swim to shore so they could shoot at him. Mickey shot him in the water and searched for him but could not locate his body.
