Sherry Barnett

A talented young woman, known as "the kingdom's foremost intellect" despite still being a student. She is 16 years old and conducts research related to artifacts.

After losing her mother Lucreia, she was taken in by the vice-principal Ruslan, with whom she shares a close bond, regarding him like her own father.

She became aware of Cid when he suddenly gave her chocolate, which Ruslan pointed out was a gift of love at first sight, although Cid himself was merely passing by and gave the chocolate without any thought, and later even forgot that he had given it.

Despite trying to act covertly, she often makes noise with her slippers (or loafers, depending on the medium), repeats her thoughts aloud to the point of being overheard by enemies, and dismisses everything as her imagination, unaware that she is being supported, making her quite clumsy.

During the school takeover incident, she was targeted by a cult due to her research on controlling the artifact known as the Greedy Eyes. She was saved by Glen and Marco, and acted under the support of Cid (Shadow) to resolve the incident. She acted wishing for Ruslan's safety, but at the end of the incident, she witnessed Ruslan being killed by Shadow. She was unaware that Ruslan was the one who killed Lucreia, that her involvement in artifact research was orchestrated by Ruslan, and that Ruslan was the mastermind behind the school takeover incident. Afterwards, she left the Midgar Kingdom Magic Swordsman Academy to study abroad.

In the first season, episode 20 of the TV anime, a sequel not present in the original work is depicted, showing her in her room, driven by a desire for revenge against Shadow, and mentally disturbed.

In "Shadow Gaiden," since the school takeover incident did not occur, she is still enrolled at the Midgar Kingdom Magic Swordsman Academy and lives with Ruslan. Also, since Ruslan is not dead, she harbors no desire for revenge against Shadow.
