{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': A character that villains target significantly more than anyone else
* '''Straight''': [[Designated Victim|Cherry]] finds herself being targeted by the [[Monster of the Week]] more so than any other member of her [[Five-Man Band]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Cherry is literally the ''only'' person the [[Monster of the Week]] ever goes after.
* '''Justified''':
** Cherry is considered to be the biggest threat out of all the main protagonists, and thus getting rid of her would be more worthwhile.
** Cherry is [[The Heart]] of the group, and the villains believe that, without her, the [[Five-Man Band]] will fall apart.
* '''Inverted''': Cherry is never targeted by the [[Monster of the Week]], in contrast to everyone else in the [[Five-Man Band]].
* '''Subverted''': Cherry appears to be frequently kidnapped by the [[Big Bad]], but it turns out that this is so they can meet in private and carry out [[Foe Yay|their passionate love affair]] 
* '''Double Subverted''': It turns out that Cherry was being brainwashed into this affair, and thus the [[Big Bad]] is effectively [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|raping her]].
* '''Parodied''': The villains form a "We All Hate Cherry" alliance, and explicitly ignore everyone else in their attempts to capture her.
* '''Deconstructed''': Cherry is so sick of being targeted all the time that she grows tired of being good and does a [[Face Heel Turn]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Even after her [[Face Heel Turn]] she's targeted just as much as ever, so she decides [[Heel Face Turn|to return to being good]] once again.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Cherry's [[Designated Victim]] status [[Depending on the Writer|varies drastically at the writer's whim]].
* '''Averted''': Cherry is targeted more or less the same amount as everyone else.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why do they always go after ''me''?"
* '''Invoked''': Cherry is always going out of her way to get captured by the [[Monster of the Week]], either to protect the others, or to provoke the heroes into action.
* '''Defied''': Cherry takes self defense classes, and suddenly, the villains don't want to approach her anymore. 
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
