Cherry is playful, slightly mischievous, and cutesy. She's fully aware of her cute, lolita looks, and uses those to her full advantage to convince humans to kill themselves and hang out in her afterlife. Frequently feigns innocence, and becomes quickly pouty when accused. She turns everything into a game or a dance, and laughs in the face of danger. The part of Cherry that remembers Afterlife is spiteful and cruel, deliberately taunting Death with her powers to get revenge for her sealing. Tough she seems like an innocent little girl, Cherry is really an impish little monster, and will do whatever it takes to prove to her parents that she's not something they can just throw away.

Family Relations: Daughter of Life and Death; Half-sister of Xenos, Bennie, Alfonso, Kayin, and Niven.
Before one can know Cherry Blossom, they must first know her two components: Afterlife, and Justine Trautwein.
Afterlife was the first child of Life and Death. At first, the family was content enough, but this did not last for longβDeath soon became upset over Afterlife creating a place for souls to go after their death, instead of death being a final outcome and life being finite. So, after Life and Maria's affair yielded Xenos, Death ordered Afterlife sealed away on earth in a clock, unable to use her powers. The sealing was successful, leaving Afterlife trapped in an antique clock for a good five-hundred years. During this time, she attempted to tell the humans of her plight and become freed to return to her gods, but none of them believed herβinstead, she was labeled as a cursed object and passed along from hand to hand until reaching a small shop.
On earth, Justine Trautwein was an ordinary German young girl. She enjoyed learning about the occult, and one day stumbled upon the Afterlife clock in a shop that sold βcursedβ objects. Justine admired the beauty of the clock and took it home.
However, the clock soon revealed itself as Afterlife's vessel, and Afterlife explained her predicament to Justine, stating that her seal meant that humans merely ceased to exist upon death and were harvested by the other gods. This information began slowly driving Justine madβshe was stewing in the knowledge that life was meaningless.
But Justine was determined to prove that Afterlife had to be wrong. Consumed in her madness and desperation, Justine broke Afterlife's clock, tore out the hands of the clock, and stabbed herself in the heart. She wanted to prove that she could stop time, rise above the finite time of life, and create a world that existed beyond the confines of time.
Her wish was granted when Afterlife was reincarnated as a part of Justine, having bonded with the girl's body since Justine used Afterlife's vessel as her tool of suicide. This new hybrid named herself Cherry Blossom, obsessed with the transience of human life and how fragile it all was.
She used her new powers to begin dragging human souls into her afterlife, creating herself a utopia where she ruled a world of souls that would live forever.
