   Psychotic/Sociopathic Tendencies: Cheryl and her alternate personality Cherlene has displayed obvious sociopathic tendencies and has repeatedly shown to do disturbing and violent actions with little self control and has shown either a obvious lack of understanding or ability to understand why her actions caused other people to react badly or understand but does not care. Huffing/ingesting rubber cement/glue/LSD Gummie Bears/Scopolamine: Beginning in the second season, she is shown to have a glue habit. Once established, the habit is shown much less as the series progresses, but the degree of her severe mental illness is further developed. She appears to have some kind of withdrawal when she uses all of the cement in the office (for instance feeling ants all over her), but using it has a calming effect on her as seen in "El Secuestro". She has a craving for LSD Gummie Bears she shows off to Pam. She was given LSD Breath Strips by Krieger while "dating" her. Also was dosed with Scopolamine by Krieger when he bet he could hypnotize the whole crew....minus Archers, Mother who scolded him about how that stuff does nothing to her, and Sterling due to absentee. Pyromaniac/arsonist: She enjoys watching things burn, including buildings. As a child, Cheryl doused a gazebo in the yard of one of the family mansions with gasoline and set it on fire much to the horror of Cecil[10], and has mentioned more than once wanting to burn down the ISIS building. She seems to be turned on as well as fascinated by fire. On several occasions she has set fires in order to meet people, like firemen.[11] Extreme delusions/hallucinations: She suffers a variety of delusions, one of which Archer and Pam mention was that for a while she thought she was a werewolf and made the rest of the team lock her in the ISIS vault every full moon.[12] It's implied that she has visual hallucinations and was confirmed to also possess and suffer from auditory hallucinations. Dissociative Identity Disorder: The most severe example of her mental illness is her Dissociative Identity Disorder during her time as Cherlene, a separate personality that emerged during Season 5, who claimed that Cheryl was gone. Once Season 5 ends, Cheryl comes back with absolutely no memory of Cherlene or ever being Cherlene. Violent tendencies: She reveals that she severed the tendon of her crush Dick Sledge in her college with scissors[13], and when she stabbed Ray in the leg (with no effect due to his cybernetics). S03E09-Cheryl branding Cheryl slaps hot iron on Janelle Gillette's wound in "Bloody Ferlin".

   Impulsive Violence: When discussing Cheryl's "curious" mental health with her brother Cecil[10], Malory mentions the reason why they aren't allowed scissors is due to an incident between Cheryl and an unknown staff member called "Brent" involving a pair of scissors; he almost literally lost his tongue. Later it was implied that during her time being institutionalized in mental asylums/wards, Cheryl was explicitly detained without access to sharp objects such as knitting tongs or even yarn due to her violent tendencies to weaponize and attack people with them. Murderous/Suicidal Impulses: Due to her extreme BDSM fetish and Masochistic tendencies, Cheryl was implied to actually enjoy attacking other people with or without provocation in order for them to attack her in return for sexual gratification or simply to enjoy the sensation of being beaten. Drug Abuse/Use: Its also shown that Cheryl has heavily abused and used several drugs for her personal pleasure that then increase her psychological sanity's decline. As seen where she admitted to constantly eat gummy bears laced with LSD, that then caused her to begin hallucinate seeing talking ostriches and caused her to seemingly become paranoid, frantic and hysterical. Institutionalized: She became skilled in macrame when there were no sharp objects allowed on the ward[13]. Lacks a filter: She says the first thing on her mind. Craves attention: Cheryl mentions this in "Skin Game". Cheryl's psychotic behavior is used as a device for breaking the fourth wall. Although plenty of other characters look to camera and appear to address the audience, she is the only character on the show to ever hear the show's dramatic music (which is intended solely for the audience). She only does this once in the aforementioned episode devoted to her brother’s attempt to claim her half of their inheritance by acquiring damning evidence of her mental instability and therefore unsuitability.[10] Obsession: Cheryl's said that she's prone to falling into severe episodes of obsession and infatuation with men that she likes. Having been stated by her that during her Sophomore year in college to have become severely infatuated with a football player named Dick Sledge and had gone to extreme lengths to get him to like her or gain his attention. With her having admitted to breaking her own arm in order to get a cast for him to sign to gain his attention and her later breaking into his dorm room to go through his things to figure out what he like (among other things) to get his attention.

   Cheryl and Cecil Tunt (Cheryl's brother) are the only two surviving members of the Tunt Family, an extremely wealthy family who are the descendants of the railroad tycoon Cornelius Tunt. At one time, her family lived in what was the Belgian Congo, but Cheryl's parents died when their chauffeur had a stroke and crashed their limo into a tree. She didn't go to her parents' funeral because she was afraid Malory Archer would fire her for being late. Cheryl's money is locked up in a trust fund. During Season 5, she owns and resides in Tunt Manor with the rest of the cast, a mansion located on the northwestern corner of 5th Avenue and 55th Street in midtown Manhattan, (which is a clear reference to films, shows, media Etc. Using 555 in phone number as to show that it’s not a real number) next to the Roosevelt Mansion. (The actual townhome built by the Roosevelt family is located ten blocks north on East 65th Street and is open to the public.) Cheryl and her brother Cecil each inherited five hundred million dollars. This has made Cheryl a target of several kidnappers. She believes that she is 1/64th Cherokee.[14] She also has a pet ocelot named Babou. Cheryl mentions in season 11 that she was very abusive to her servants by shooting darts at them slowly causing them to become unhinged and lash out, one even killed some of her cousins after burning down their summer mansion.

   In her role as Malory Archer's personal assistant, Cheryl screens Malory's phone calls and visitors. She also takes care of whatever Malory needs at the moment, such as cleaning up after her fits of destructive rage, or fetching and opening her Cobb salads. Despite complaining about how much she hates her job, it is unknown why she, in fact, works at ISIS, as she clearly does not need to. It may be as a consequence of boredom that she is paradoxically dedicated to it. Prior to the revelation in El Secuestro (s2e10) that Cheryl is, in fact, a Tunt (Tum again?), she had been using the pseudonym Gimple. That she was employed under a pseudonym is indicative of a desire to hide her true identity (such as from potential kidnappers) but also, perhaps, to live a 'normal' life - or at least one marginally less weird than she is used to.

   During the Heart of Archness trilogy, she often stayed in the office all night to await important phone calls on Malory's orders. In "Fugue and Riffs," she describes the hatred toward her co-workers as the only thing that gets her out of bed in the morning.

   During Season 5, Cheryl takes on a new career as a country singer. In "House Call", a "mind control microchip" is implanted in her brain by Algernop Krieger to relieve her of performance anxiety. Following this, Cheryl adopts the new alias of Cherlene. While she retains traces of her ditziness, she also becomes more confident, outspoken, vain (occasionally referring to herself in the third person), and a brazen hillbilly starlet. And despite "Cherlene" being a separate personality, its shown that she non-the-less also retains a majority of Cheryl's violent tendencies and psychotic urges, that has now seemingly been further exacerbated due to the new outspoken, confident traits Cherlene has. However, Krieger ultimately reveals the "microchip" was just a sticker, and she subsequently abandons her Cherlene personality. In following episodes in the sixth season, Cheryl seemingly has no memory of her time as Cherlene whatsoever.

   In "Southbound and Down", Cherlene says that she doesn't fly, but she has no qualms to stowaway on an airplane with Pam Poovey in "Palace Intrigue, Part I".

   During Season 8, Archer, who is in a comatose state, envisions himself and all his friends, relations, and associates as characters in film noir-esque setting. Cheryl takes on the dream persona Charlotte Vandertunt, a mysterious woman who seeks out private investigator Sterling Archer's help.

   Charlotte shares many similar characteristics with Cheryl including her appearance, status as a wealthy heiress, distrust of her family, shortsightedness, naiveté, excitability, elitist tendencies, and fondness for violence and drugs, in this case codeine and dexedrine. In one notable difference her between Cheryl, Charlotte seems slightly more compassionate: while she does plan to use Berenice as a double for herself so that she can fake her own death, she nonetheless voices concern for the poor woman's dignity, which is ironic given that she has been oblivious to it up until then, grossly abusing her corpse by transporting it around in her trunk.

   Appearance Charlotte begins by looking incredibly svelte, stylish and sophisticated: upon arrival at Archer's office, she emanates high status and wealth in her mannerisms. Her crimson attire is accessorized with leather gloves, a cigarette holder, a large brimmed hat and a fox scarf (with the head still attached).

   Her demeanor and appearance deteriorate, along with her poise, after she is dressed in an L.A.P.D. prisoner's outfit - her hair disheveled - for the remainder of the story.

   Character Traits Charlotte emanates an air of grace, sophistication and detachment from reality as she is quickly revealed a member of a crazy upper-class family, with scarcely a trace of sanity (or humanity) about her. She has a penchant for codeine and Dexedrine ('downers' and 'uppers' respectively) which she shares freely with Archer, with whom she also has a brief affair. She takes things literally and invariably misses the point of what is being said to her. Archer finds this infuriating and it is arguably what makes her character seem incredibly annoying.

   In what could easily be a deliberately placed irony, while she does plan to use 'Berenice' as a double for herself so that she can fake her own death, she nonetheless expresses concern for the poor woman's dignity. She embodies the tropes of eccentricity, debauchery and utter madness often attributed to the super-rich. (see The Aristocrats). Charlotte shares many similar characteristics with her real-world counterpart Cheryl including her appearance, status as a wealthy heiress from a strange family which she distrusts, shortsightedness, naiveté, excitability, elitist tendencies, derangement and fondness for violence and drugs.

   Cheryl is 'independently wealthy' being worth $500 million. She displays an absolute disconnect from any sense of money or the value of things. She is not interested in learning about finances and has all kinds of odd notions about how they work. For instance, she thought insurance with a high deductible was good because "Don't you deduct it on your taxes or something?" Or when she thought it was good that having chlamydia put her over her deductible, "So the rest of that year all my doctor visits were totally free, score!" (In fact, she said this was the only favor Archer had ever done her).[4] It's obvious that her wealth has insulated her from having to worry about financial matters, so she has no clue why Cyril would be so upset at her over $3700 [5] or Pam over $14,000.[6] In "Jeu Monégasque," when everyone else freaks out that four million dollars are missing from their 401(k) accounts, Cheryl, who has already figured out where that money went, says "Is that a lot?" Other people have apparently been managing her money for her, as well, and she seems unsure about what she owns at times.[7] All this makes more sense of the fact that the trust and the family business is predominantly managed by her brother. Cheryl is not completely devoid from participating in the management of the family business, she is depicted in "Baby Shower" explicitly expressing her distaste of a glass pool outside the presidential suite at the illustrious "Tuntmoore Towers" hotel in New York. Cheryl's lack of computer savvy is shown as she attempts to turn on her computer by typing the letters "O" and "N" on her keyboard,[8] and search for an online pregnancy test.

   Cheryl enjoys extreme BDSM sexual fetishes, being on the submissive end of the spectrum. She is a full spectrum masochist and gets aroused by simple slaps, and, at her extremes, demands to be choked during sex (erotic asphyxiation) and becomes "wet just thinking about it." (Should Cyril Figgis snap and kill her, she would consider the event the "world's gushiest orgasm"[1]). She often refers to this obsession with being killed as erotic, for instance in Honeypot when she reveals a fantasy about a fireman choking her to death instead of performing CPR. She is also a sadist to the extent that she says she is turned on by physical and emotional violence, directed towards herself and others (as revealed in Legs)[2], but it is unclear whether she likes to inflict pain on others herself. A good example of would be is when she laughs at the gruesome scene of the dead KGB agents killed by Sterling Archer in Fugue and Riffs while everyone else is repulsed.

   She has expressed bisexual interests, responding amorously to Malory Archer's and Lana Kane's physical abuse (see above), and responding to Pam Poovey carrying her by saying she's "totally digging this whole Queen Kong vibe" (thus reinforcing her submissive side). Cheryl's sexuality is rather hedonistic - she just wants to be pleasured and entertained. She will flirt with and manipulate anyone to get what she wants in the moment. Cheryl sees sex as a game and way to relieve boredom, not anything meaningful or emotional.

   Her tastes lean towards the kinky and taboo. Cheryl is often the submissive, wanting to be dominated and told what to do. She enjoys roleplaying different scenarios, especially ones involving non-consent. Pain and control also excite her, whether she is giving or receiving.

   Cheryl has few hard limits and gets bored easily, always chasing the next thrill. She is up for almost anything in the moment but loses interest quickly. Her desires seem to stem more from a place of selfishness than real passion. Cheryl just wants to feel special and be the center of attention, no matter the circumstance.
