Sherry's name translates to a few things:

(In Hebrew) The Plain, or Fertile Plain
They say the name originated in England to begin with.

_{Atma and Asura}

Her Atma mark is called Illumine. Her demon form is an incarnation of Iravati - She is a daughter of Kadru and grand-daughter of Kasyapa. She is the mother of Airavata, the mount of Indra. She is also associated with a sacred river. Part of the battle of the ten kings was fought on the Parushani river, which according to Yaska (nirukta 9.26) refers to the Iravati river (Ravi River) in the Punjab. Macdonell and Keith write that "the name [Parusni] is certainly that of the river later called Ravi (Iravati)

Sherry's incarnation of Iravati is a light-colored humanoid with an arm that acts as a harp. She specializes in ice and ailments, but is prone to lightning and fire.

Iravati attacks demons with her harp-like arm; She shoots little beams of energy from the strings connecting her upper arm to her lower arm by just stroking them. They do little damage. But if her enemy has an ailment, such as mute, poison, sleep, panic, or charm, her enemies are easy to take down, even with her low strength.

Sherry's Atma is awakened when she first sees/meets Hollowpoint.
Sherry's Atma enables the following:

Uses: Ice and Ailments
Null: Ice
Weak: Fire and Lightning
Repel: N/A
Drain: N/A
Resist: Ailments
High MAG + VIT, medium AGL + LUCK, low STR

_{Main attacks/skills:}

Bufu- (Use ice element - one enemy; Light, moderate, high)
Mabufu- (Use ice element - all enemies; Light, moderate, high)

[_{... Yeah...
I thought having a skills list, like Kudu has, would give you an idea of what Iravati uses.}]

_{Sherry's Information}

Sherry stands at a height of 5'6", has white hair, and silver eyes. She wields a M1 carbine, and strives to be strong. She has average aim, but stays behind the group, almost as a sniper, because she isn't as fast as the others and is assigned to back-up the others if they are shpt down or wounded or under attack.

Sherry doesn't really talk to people - she keeps all of her emotions and thoughts bottled up inside her, and she's a shy person. She is very intelligent, but since she doesn't let others know this, she gets picked on once in a while. Sherry has the potential to be a leader, but doesn't have the charisma.

Sherry usually spends her time alone or thinking and day-dreaming. She doesn't rebel - she usually goes with the flow, so to speak, to avoid conflict with the other tribe members. But, once in a while, she'll protest against something she feels is stupid or unwise.

After her Atma awakens, she becomes very compassionate and loving; not to mention, she also develops a humorous personality. She's still quiet and shy, nonetheless. She does her best not to create conflict still and to not be cruel - unless she has to. Sherry is very empathetic and sensitive when her Atma awakens as well, so it's an advantage and disadvantage. Because she is too kind sometimes and doesn't want to hurt others, she sometimes gets in predicaments she'd rather not be in.

Sherry doesn't really mind eating other demons.
At first it was a big shock to learn that she had devoured someone (as it was to everybody). She was reluctant at first, but then slowly gave up resisting to eat others. Iravati can be a picky eater sometimes.

_{Relationships}

Sherry respects and honors Serph, but has actually never talked to him.

She looks up to Gale - Serph's adviser - and has great respect for him. She strives to be knowledgeable and wise, but feels like she's small around the Elites.
But that doesn't quite keep her away from Gale. She feels as if she had known Gale in the past, but she usually shakes off the feeling and continues on.
Once in a while, she'll either greet Gale, or even have a small conversation with him. Their conversations are usually interrupted by one of Gale's underlings and he is called away.

Sherry was attached to the child Cielo was modeled after. So in the Junkyard, she really likes him. I dunno if he notices that or not...
He probably does, since he goes out of his way to make people laugh or smile.
She doesn't like him as in... y'know...
She just enjoys being around him. And whenever she is, she feels more talkative.
Once in a while, she'll greet him.

She likes Argilla, even though in the Junkyard, she doesn't really talk to her (mainly because she's shy). Sherry doesn't communicate with Heat much either.
She's scared of Heat.
Sherry likes Sera's company most of the time. She enjoys her singing, as does everyone. Sometimes, when she can hear Sera singing, she just plops down wherever she is, and listens.
Usually, Sherry will end up falling asleep and having weird 'dreams'.
these dreams usually consist of someone who looks like her, and these small humans...
These small humans happen to be 'children'; The same children Sherry took care of in the Karma Society.

Whenever Sherry is around Zerach, she always gets a feeling of deja vu.
And she doesn't know why.
She almost feels sad when around Zerach, yet, she wants to be around him. Sherry feels like she knows Zerach, even though she hardly comes in contact with him. She almost fears him because of his attitude and feels she's an inconvenience around him. Thus, she leaves him alone, but always keeps an eye on him.
She knows how honorable he is, and wishes to be that way, but still keeps a distance.

Around Eve, Sherry is still quiet, but she's happy. Eve has such a bouncy and energetic nature all the time, and Sherry respects that. At times, Eve can get annoying.
But that doesn't happen often. Sherry feels the Embryon, not the mention all the tribes, need more people like Eve.

Sherry and Hollowpoint were siblings in their past lives; Sherry being the elder sister.
Therefore, Sherry and Hollowpoint's relationship in the Junkyard is more or less sibling rivalry. At first, their relationship is a bit rough, (considering they are from different tribes) then it slowly heals up, and they become friends. In fact, the becomes such good friends, that Sherry's true personality is unleashed - in other words, she becomes comfortable around Hollowpoint, and feels safe to express herself. She becomes more talkative and jokes around a bunch with Hollowpoint.

_{Sherry's Previous Life}

Hair color: An almost orange-ish blonde, like Victor's (Hollowpoint's) hair
Eye color: Hazel
Skin: Olive

Sherry was a day-care provider in her previous life - she looked after the children who were experiments in Karma city. She loved all the children there. But she'd get too attached to them, so when they died, she took it really hard.
But in her past life, Sherry just took care of the kids when they weren't being experimented on, I guess. She got along with nurse Argilla, but never really got to know Serph or Heat or any of the scientists. Aside from David.
She used to see him multiple times throughout the week by just passing in the halls or something. Once in a while, they'd talk. But they had always just been acquaintances.
And thus, Sherry is attached to Gale a little in the Junkyard.

Sherry died when the Cuvier syndrome broke out.
She died trying to evacuate the 'special' children (including Zerach's smaller sibling) out of the building to a safer place when it was attacked by terrorists and didn't quite make it.

Sherry was never married or taken, but was interested in David when she got to know him more. Sherry had no children. She did have a dog and some fish as pets. She lived in a small house not to far from the EGG with Victor (Hollowpoint).
When Sherry died, she reached Enlightenment, so she is/was not reincarnated.
That's it. ~~

Thank you, have a nice day, go devour something.
