Biography[]
After leaving her abusive husband and burning down their condo, she aligned herself with the Devils Tribe (a friendly independent MC now "patched over" to the Sons of Anarchy) and called herself Cherry (after her beloved dead dog), posing as a "hang-around." She has been a 'Sweet Butt' for 3 years, waiting to become someone's old lady. She has a pair of cherries tattooed on her right thigh. She took an interest in Kip 'Half-Sack' Epps when SAMCRO came to visit but slept with Clarence 'Clay' Morrow who wanted to punish Half-Sack for voicing his sexual attraction to Gemma Teller-Morrow. Cherry later came to Charming looking for Half-Sack and began dating him after gaining permission from Gemma and clearing up what happened between her and Clay at the Devil's Tribe patch over party. While investigating the club, Agent June Stahl learned of Cherry's crimes in Nevada and tried to use the crimes as leverage to make her "rat out" SAMCRO. Jackson 'Jax' Teller broke her out and helped her escape California after she made love one last time to Half-Sack. She fled to Belfast. Cherry is staying with Keith McGee and his wife, working in their store in Belfast. She was the old lady of Liam O'Neill, Sgt. at Arms of the Belfast chapter before his death. She was devastated after learning about Half-Sack's death.
