She is an optimistic, kind, friendly, and energetic girl who wants to become the best baker in the Berryworks factory and Big Apple City. She is mostly friendly with everyone and is good friends with Orange Blossom, Lemon Meringue, Lime Chiffon, Blueberry Muffin and everyone else. Her only enemies throughout the show in its first season are Bread Pudding, Raspberry Tart and Sour Grapes, who despise her and are the ones who tried to have Strawberry get kicked out of the Berryworks because she is not a talented baker just like her family. As of season two, the three of them are currently good friends with Strawberry too and are also reformed of their cruel actions that happened towards Strawberry throughout season one. Strawberry is also the leader of her and her friends' team, the Berry Besties and her new enemies throughout the show are the Purple Pieman (who's also the uncle of Sour Grapes) and Crabapple Jam (who's the new and current owner of the Berryworks factory) and her two associates who are also twins, Cheese Strudel and Cherry Streusel. She is the niece of her Aunt Praline and she also runs the baking food truck in the Berryworks, which is given to her as a gift by her aunt and also has a pet cat named Custard. Strawberry Shortcake has long reddish-pink hair that goes down to her knees.
- Orange Blossom (voiced by Bahia Watson) is Strawberry's athletic best friend.

He always tries his best to be better than Strawberry at everything along with the help and assistance of his two friends, Raspberry and Sour, who helps him in his schemes too, but always fails and as Strawberry always tells them that she is unbeatable. At the end of season one and as of season two, he, alongside his two friends, Raspberry and Sour become good friends with Strawberry, and also becomes good friend with Lime Chiffon at the end of season one and as of season two.

- Raspberry Tart (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is the main antagonist in first season of the series but she is a nice girl.
- Sour Grapes (voiced by Meg Roe) is the secondary antagonist in the first season of the series but she isn't a villain because she is boring.
- Huckleberry Pie (voiced by Vincent Tong) is a friend of Strawberry's who she meets in the Funnelcake subway station.
