Cherry and Marcia are two popular girls who become friends with The Outsiders narrator, Ponyboy, his brothers, and his Greaser friends. When Cherry first meets Ponyboy, they bond over their unusual first names. She tells him, ''My name's Sherri, but I'm called Cherry because of my hair. Cherry Valance.'' Marcia is ''a little smaller than Cherry. She was cute, but that Cherry Valance was a real looker.'' The girls are dating Soc boys, but they're the first Socs that Ponyboy and his friends get to know, and it gives them a different perspective on their rivals. Cherry and Marcia are pretty, friendly, and fun.
