Because of her mother's teachings in the importance of manners, Cream is a princess-like figure; she is very polite, graceful and well-behaved.[6][3][10] She is similarly well-spoken[11] (often referring to people as "Mr." and "Miss", followed by their first name) and does what she is told. With her politeness being like second nature to her, Cream acts out her teachings with a cheerful smile on her face and a soft voice. Regardless of the situation and being used to getting what she wants,[12] Cream never forgets her manners, even showing respect and offering a polite curtsy to her enemies, like Eggman, before attacking them with extreme prejudice.[13][14] Sweet-natured, Cream does not have a bad bone in her body.[11] As such, she is honest, shy, innocent and has a generally happy attitude. She is similarly very considerate, charitable and friendly,[14] always eager to lend her friends a hand whenever the situation calls for it and tries to be close to everyone she meets.[11] For this reason, she is loved by everybody.[14] Cream is likewise extraordinarily brave, courageous and noble for someone her age, not afraid to face danger for the sake of those she cares about. She is likewise full of curiosity and has a thirst for knowledge.[6][3] She is also not afraid to voice her anger and disgust, but never does so in a rude way. A spirited go-getter, Cream is very hardworking and always tries her best in everything she does.[11][15][16] Because of her curiosity, Cream loves fun and adventures and is always eager to bravely charge off into the next one.[11][14] However, she can also be somewhat rash, as she has been known to charge into adventures without really taking into account the dangers she can end up facing on her own, thus leaving her in situations beyond her capabilities.[14] Because of her age and upbringing though, she is a little naïve and simple-minded at times.[13] As such, she does not always see things right away and can accidentally speak out others' flaws or get herself in over her head when wrapped up in other people's problems.[13] Despite this, she has a very grounded personality that helps her being the all-important restraint for her team.[10] She can also be sensitive and childish,[16] being prone to start crying over smaller things, misfortune or sadness in general. She also tends to scoff and pout childishly when people treat her like a little kid, especially when it is because she cannot go on an adventure.[14] Cream is one who enjoys the simpler things in life and loves spending most of her time outdoors playing around.
