Berry Shirayuki

Berry is a first-year student at Daikanyama Academy Middle School.

She has long, straight blonde hair, often styled in two side-up ponytails with red ribbons.

Her eyes are brown, sometimes appearing reddish under certain lighting.

As Mew Berry, she features forward-drooping white rabbit ears, a cat tail adorned with a thin red ribbon and a bell (though this changes in later designs), and red is added as a sub-color in updated outfits.

Her image color is white.

Berry is cheerful, energetic, and always looks on the bright side.

She can be a little spoiled, but she’s earnest and sincerely tries her best in everything.

At her new school, an elite private girls' academy in Shirokanedai, she hides her true self to fit in and act like a refined lady.

Her enthusiasm for sweets, especially cakes, shines through.

Berry often ends her sentences with "nya" after transforming, adding a playful touch.

Berry was born on January 5, under the Capricorn zodiac, and has blood type O.

She is a quarter French—her grandfather on one side was French—with her unique looks reflecting this mixed heritage.

After admiring the school uniform, she worked hard to pass the entrance exams for her new prestigious school.

She lives with her father; her mother passed away, and her grandfather lives separately.

Berry transforms into Mew Berry, a magical girl whose DNA is fused with that of the Amami rabbit and the Andean mountain cat.

Her notable powers come with abilities and a purification attack:

"Reborn Loveberry Check" is a purification technique launched with her Loveberry Rod, said to be on par with Ichigo Momomiya's powers.

"Reborn Doubleberry Check" is a combined attack performed with Ichigo Momomiya.

When transformed, she exhibits both rabbit and cat traits—including rabbit ears and a cat tail—even outside of battle.

Berry has even fully transformed into a hybrid animal form, combining both a cat and rabbit’s appearance, during one intense moment.

She can speak French fluently.

Berry deeply admires Ryou Shirogane after a fateful accident where they meet.

Despite this initial crush, she ultimately forms a strong bond with Yuu, who always stays by her side and protects her, and the two become a couple.

She is aided and supported by Ichigo Momomiya and the other Tokyo Mew Mew members, growing into her role as a leader through their encouragement.

Her family consists of her father (her mother is deceased), and a grandfather living apart.

Berry is the first character in the series to have DNA fused from two different endangered animals, giving her hybrid features.

She loves cakes and is enthusiastic about sweets in general.

She’s the leader of the new generation Tokyo Mew Mew team, despite her initial hesitation.

Berry’s catchphrases are typically childlike, hinting at her innocent and youthful side.

She is one of the few who sometimes displays her animal tail even when untransformed, similar to Ichigo Momomiya.

Her design underwent slight changes in "2020 Return," incorporating more red elements and altering her accessories.

"I'm going to do my best, nya!"

"I may not understand everything yet, but I'll protect everyone!"
