Cherry Garcia burst onto the international scene as a 15 year-old when she was called up - along with Jade Matranga - by Khim Azanulbizarn to the Starblaydia Under-21s squad for Under-21 World Cup 17. Cherry made three substitute appearances in U21WC17, scoring her first goal against Cockbill Street in a 3-2 win on Matchday Three.
When Trotsgrad hosted the Perusa Invitational Tournament, Starblaydia sent the Under-19s squad to officially represent them at a 'senior' level under the command of Fabricio de Souza Lima to Trotsgrad, with a 16 year-old Cherry starting on the Right Wing with the coveted #7 shirt. It took Cherry just seven minutes, to make an impact, scoring the first goal in a 2-2 draw with PopularFreedom. She scored three further goals in that tournament, though Starblaydia's young team could not progress past the Group Stage against more experienced opponents.
After her performances in the Under-21s and in Trotsgrad, Jhanna City Manager was building his team around Itechton Matranga and decided that two women would be best for his team, signing Cherry and Turorian Martiia Rawaii for Season 6. This proved to be an excellent season for Cherry as she was named as the Young Player of the Year, an incredible acheivement.
With yet-another in what is proving to be a long, long line of acheivements, Cherry, at the age of just 22, was awarded the Number-Seven shirt in Starblaydia's World Cup 25 Campaign. This shirt has been worn by many of the Starblaydi greats as Aiden Matranga, Stefan Haldorsson, J.J. Stark, Geraint Evans, Nick Matranga, Juan Santiago and Giovanni Lopez. Adding herself to this list was an acheivement in itself, but winning the World Cup has made her Starblaydia's greatest-ever sportswoman.
The Starblaydia women's national football team also owe their nickname to Cherry. As the veteran of the team at the time of their inception she was named Captain and the team were consistently referred to as "Cherry's Team". The nickname soon stuck and so the Starblaydia Ladies team are now officially nicknamed The Cherries.

Cherry Garcia was probably named with the popular Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavour of the same name as nomenclature 'inspiration', though only in the subconcious.
