Sergeant Detective Strawberry is a member of the Goldcliffe Militia alongside Captain Captain Bane and Hurley. They are quick to point out the obvious and fast track exposition, and even quicker to fall into narratively convenient danger, the ultimate convenience for a writer who needs to make sure the audience is on the same page. 

I have no preference for Strawberry's pitch. This is a comic relief character who is and kind of a weenie, have fun with how you interpret that!
