She performs a variety of body slams, most involving acrobatic moves, some counter throws and a few face-sitting throws. She is also quite agile and some of her moves represent gymnastics. When not using her Orochi powers, Shermie relies on grappling as her combat style. This power is used in The King of Fighters 2002, The King of Fighters Neowave and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. Elektrokinesis - Even while in her base form, Shermie can still project half of her Orochi lightning element in few of her move sets.Ignore Weight - She can grab and throw anyone in spite of their weight.However, while she's clearly not antagonistic as with her Orochi form, she can be just as murderous, manipulative and ruthless if provoked, especially if faced with particular foes, most notably perverted men like Kukri, and to a lesser extent, Brian Battler. In her other (mostly non-canonical) appearances, she seems to be aware of her own Orochi heritage, which sometimes reflects in her quotes. Even though she considers human society stupid, it's been noted that she enjoys her lifestyle working as a fashion designer. Her long bangs makes it difficult to see her eyes but underneath them lies a glare with strong murderous intent. Shermie has an affinity for hamsters, and owns two of them as pets, a male and female pair named Achu ( あちゅ) and Ururi ( うるり).


She seems to dislike noisy people, as seen in her special intro with Brian Battler in KOF '98 UM. She only seems to do this when fighting against a male character that she finds attractive. Shermie blows a kiss towards her opponent before the battle begins. She doesn't seem to take battles and fighting too seriously, often dancing around and picking up her cellphone during battle. However, like some people, she has reservations about society at large, as she considers them stupid, when it crosses beyond her interests and profession. They would go onto calling her Tesse from Waku Waku 7 at one time. The developer states that the design for Shermie was easily decided on, given that her long bangs never revealed her eyes.
KOF 98 INTRO SERIES
It's stated on her KOF 10th anniversary profile that she was based on the character Fujiko Mine from the manga/anime series Lupin the Third. Shermie and her teammates were created to offset the remaining top three characters.
