Cheryl Tunt is a fictional character from the animated television series ''Archer''. Cheryl, a secretary for Malory Archer, collaborates with seven other field operatives of the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), an illegal intelligence agency headquartered in New York City. Judy Greer provides the speaking voice for the character, who first appeared in the series' pilot episode "Mole Hunt" on January 17, 2010, and starting with season 5, Jessy Lynn Martens provides the singing voice for the character when she turns into country star Cherlene. Conceived and devised by ''Archer'' creator Adam Reed, Cheryl was initially intended to serve only as a minor character for the series. A descendant of the wealthy Tunt family, Cheryl is introduced as a clingy and emotionally fragile individual. Early on she is intermittently referred to as "Carol" by her coworkers (a premise which becomes one of the shows' longest running jokes) as they are initially dismissive of her somewhat morbid behavior and neglectful of her presence. As the series progresses, the character abandons her lugubrious traits and embraces a more sadistic and maniacal personality. Cheryl is often sexually aroused from being choked and enjoys sniffing and drinking rubber cement. She possesses a ditzy demeanor, which often interferes with her work ethic. An array of descriptions have been established for the character by critics, mainly her "incompetent" and "insane" tendencies. Throughout the series' run, the character has been applauded by television commentators, as has Greer's voice work, which has resulted in the actress being nominated for an Annie Award in the category of Voice Acting in a Television Production. ==Arc and personality== Cheryl Tunt is introduced in the ''Archer'' pilot episode, "Mole Hunt", as the secretary for Malory Archer (Jessica Walter). Following the abrupt ending of her relationship with Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), Cheryl attempts to manipulate Cyril Figgis (Chris Parnell) into cheating on companion Lana Kane (Aisha Tyler), for whom she has great disdain. Cyril, who inevitably sustains emotional distress from Lana's dominant antics, succumbs to Cheryl's sexual desires after becoming suspicious of his girlfriend's interactions with Archer. Paranoid that Lana may find out about his affair, Cyril attempts to distance himself from Cheryl, much to her dismay. She threatens to notify Lana of their affair—after having sex with Cyril, Cheryl reveals to Pam Poovey (Amber Nash) that her actual intention was to acquire Archer's attention, as she thought that having a connection with Cyril would spark feelings of jealousy.〔 Though Lana catches Cyril cheating on her with Framboise, the former head of HR at the Organization of Democratic Intelligence Networks (ODIN), Cheryl confesses of their affair to her, subsequently adding more tension to their rivalry. As an heir to the wealth of the Tunt family—who were trailblazers in the railroad industry—Cheryl is often subjected to numerous threats and kidnappings. As a result of her parents' death, she and her brother, Cecil Tunt, inherit an estimated US$1 billion in trust funds; it is split evenly amongst each party, which culminated with Cheryl's net worth increasing tenfold. This prompts a group of robbers to cultivate a plan to abduct her, which ultimately fails as they mistake Pam for her.〔 In that same episode, it is also revealed that she owns an ocelot named Babou, for which Archer develops a fondness (this is a comedic reference to Salvador Dalí, who really did have a pet ocelot by that name with whom he frequently traveled.) Cecil later tricks ISIS into a mission with the intent to videotape members talking of Cheryl's insanity so he can get control of her half of the fortune. It turns out Cecil has spent all of his half of the fortune on various charities, including an undersea base whose insane leader used the funds to buy nerve gas missiles. Cheryl is introduced as an emotionally fragile woman, who pines for the affection of Archer. As the series began to progress, the character abandons her depressive characteristics and adopts a more maniacal and unstable personality. "It was really fun to see her evolve," Greer asserted, "and I think (creator Adam Reed ) and I always had fun recording together. I'm so thankful that it got so crazy and turned so upside down, and how nuts this character is. It's so fun."〔 Her instability has regularly resulted in Cheryl being sent into mental institutions. She is often sexually aroused from being choked.〔 Commentators have described Cheryl as "incompetent", "insane",〔 "glue-chugging", and "empty-headed". Throughout much of the first season, the character frequently developed aliases for herself to acquiesce to her coworkers; these aliases include Cristal, an homage to the alcoholic beverage of the same name, and Carina, which she professed "better captured () sensual womanhood".
After ISIS has gone bankrupt in the fifth season, Cheryl realizes her dream of becoming a country music superstar under the artist name "Cherlene", after Dr. Krieger first cures her stage fright by injecting her with a microscopic mind control chip in the fourth episode ("House Call"). Music performed by Cherlene in the show is sung by Jessy Lynn Martens and produced by among others Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin. The network also released a 12-track album named "Cherlene" featuring country songs from the show, including a country cover of Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheryl Tunt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
