Cherri Bomb

"Look, I can't resist a fight, okay? Especially when I get to tag team with this fuckhead!"

- Cherri Bomb, to Charlie Morningstar

Cherri Bomb is a sinner demon and a major supporting character in Hazbin Hotel. She is one of Angel Dust's close friends and his partner in crime.

Appearance
Cherri is a white-skinned cyclops-like demon, having a singular eye with an X-shaped light yellow pupil and a Sunkist-coral sclera. She sports long strawberry blonde-pink hair with platinum-blonde accents kept in a half-ponytail by a black ponytail holder, and freckle-like spots on her skin.

Her mouth has sharp pale yellow teeth inside with black lips. Her makeup includes a large amount of mascara and eyeliner, and she has several Sunkist-coral designs of bombs, explosions and swirled-lines, tattooed on her right arm.

Cherri wears a one-shouldered black bra under a similarly-designed pinkish-red torn crop-top with four pale yellow spots around the black X located on the left, along with ripped black leggings and a torn miniskirt that sport the same color and style as her top.

She also wears shoes that are both colored in a pinkish-red but differing in type; on her right is a simple-pointed flat, while the left is a heeled cowboy-like boot with a multi-pointed off-white star on it. She also has two different sets of fingerless Sunkist-coral gloves; a regular-length glove on her right hand and an arm-length black-trimmed glove on her left hand.

In the ADDICT music video, Cherri's appearance is nearly the same, only her right footwear is that of a red and white sock.

Pilot
In the pilot, her appearance has some notable differences; her hair was warmer-colored and had white accents along with the blonde accents, her lips were maroon-colored with sharp gray teeth inside, and her tattoo is a gray heart design instead.

In addition to her clothing, the "X" shape on her top does not have spots, her skirt sported white buttons with one loose suspender on her right, and the boot on her right foot instead had two white stripes on the top. Her fingerless gloves are instead a white-striped light gray glove on her right hand, and an arm-length black glove on her left hand.

Personality
Cherri is shown to be daring, bold, and determined. She is self-confident and constantly smiles broadly, taking pleasure in committing arson and other various crimes.

Despite this wild and care-free persona, Cherri is shown to have a more sensitive side as well; in the ADDICT music video, it is shown that she often stays with Angel and comforts him after he gets verbally or sexually abused by Valentino. She is also shown to be a supportive friend to Angel Dust; while she encourages him to let loose and finds the idea of the Hazbin Hotel ridiculous, she nonetheless supports his choices to try and be better, though she also mocks him for helping Niffty.

In "Welcome to Heaven," she can be easily bribed into doing something, as when Charlie gave her money to take Angel and her friends out for a fun night.

In "The Show Must Go On", she was happy to show up and fight the exorcists.

Development

 * During development for the "Angels and Demons" arc of ZooPhobia, an old iteration of Angel Dust's character had a young daughter named Cherry Bomb, though her true name was Isabella, and she was an angel. The character was eventually scrapped, but, the name appears to have been transferred to a proto-Cherri, who was then named Diza.
 * In the ADDICT music video, during Cherri's portion of the song, "Yeah, you fell in love. But, you fell deeper in this pit", the bust of a figure bearing a resemblance to another ZooPhobia character appears, the Demon Hunter, Izzi.
 * Post-pilot dialogue recording, Vivziepop decided that she wanted Cherri to be Australian, after becoming inspired by Australian folk music. Though the dialogue could not be re-recorded, Vivziepop has expressed interest in making Cherri Australian for future episodes and projects featuring the character.
 * Vivziepop also thought that Cherri's accent would occasionally slip out. The slip-out aspect did not make it into the series, with Cherri's accent showing full time.
