Shermie (シェルミー, Sherumī) is a videogame character in the King of Fighters series who first appeared in The King of Fighters '97 as a member of the New Face Team. She is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi who is the dark counterpart to Benimaru Nikaido. Shermie and Angel have the largest bust measurement of all KOF females (92 cm). Her hairstyle is recognizable in that her bangs covers her eyes and is tied in a split ponytail at the back. It is stated on her profile on KOF 10th she was based on the character Fujiko Mine from the anime Lupin the 3rd. Aside from the main body of the KOF series, Shermie also stars in her own character image album.

Both versions of her are voiced by Hazuki Nishikawa.

[edit] Story

The true origins of the Orochi fighter known as Shermie are shrouded in mystery. She, along with Yashiro Nanakase and Chris formed a music band called "CYS" (based on the first letter of the name of each member), where Shermie played the keyboards. They enter the KOF tournament due to Yashiro's grudge against rival band player, Iori Yagami. When she remembers her duties as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, she uses the tournament to gather enough power to awaken Orochi, which is successful in Orochi's possession of Chris. The ending of the New Face Team in KOF '97 has Yashiro killing off both Shermie and Chris before committing suicide. It is believed that this ending, along with the fact that Yashiro and Shermie are willing to give their lives for the resurrection of the Orochi in the cinemas, reinforces the fact that the New Face Team most likely perished in this tournament.

[edit] Personality

Shermie is very outgoing and friendly. She doesn't seem to take battle too seriously, often dancing around and picking up her cellphone during battle. In KOF '98 and onwards, Shermie blows a kiss towards her opponent before the battle begins. She only seems to do this when fighting against a male character that she finds attractive.

[edit] Powers

Ignore Weight - She can grab and throw anyone in spite of their weight.

[edit] Fighting Style

When not using her Orochi powers, Shermie relies on grappling as her combat style. Her grappling gameplay is further improved in KOF98, when she's given a follow-up ground attack, similar to Clark's elbow smash. Her grappling gameplay is further expanded in KOF2002, as she borrows some signature moves like Stone Cold Steve Austin's Stonecold Stunner.
