Plot
In the first episode, it is revealed that Cherrypillar and her sisters are aliens from another planet fleeing when the Pig army decided to take over their planet and kill (or zap) all females on their home planet, cherry blossom. While the nine other girls controlled well, Cherrypillar was constantly hitting asteroids. Causing her to crash land on earth (with the others landing safely). It's now up to them to stop the Pig army from taking over Earth now. Later in the episode, the intense speed from her ship crashing gave her a unique ability, the ability to gain superpowers.
