Cheese

Cheese and cream are always together, with cheese being distinguished by its bowtie. Despite not being able to talk, cheese has a heart-melting ability. While it's not accurate to say that cheese belongs to Cream, the two are close friends. In the US version of an episode where cheese gets lost, Chris refers to cheese as "she," indicating that cheese is female. However, in the Japanese version, cheese is referred to as both male and female at different points, suggesting that cheese may be genderless like all chao. This contradicts the portrayal of cheese as male in video games.
