Sherry Birkin

First appearance: Resident Evil 2

Information

Sherry is the only daughter of the central figure in the G-Virus program, William Birkin. Perhaps because she wasn't shown any love from either of her parents, she doesn't speak much and seems to have a difficult time showing any emotion. After the biological accident that took place in Raccoon, she went to the police station for help like her mother, Annette, told her to. She was forced to run away from the gang of zombie policemen there.

It was Claire Redfield, who had come to the city searching for her older brother, who saved the lonely, helpless girl. At first Sherry was completely terrified and would do nothing, but when she realized that Claire was a human, she let down her guard and began to work together with her. However, something horrible was stubbornly chasing Sherry as she was searching for a way to escape from the police station. It was the mass-produced Tyrant, which had been inserted by Umbrella into the police station. The purpose of its pursuit was to obtain the sample of G-Virus within the locket around the Sherry's neck, hidden there by her father. But Sherry didn't know the virus was held within one of her prized possessions, and she was merely trying to get away...

While Tyrant's pursuit continued, it wasn't Umbrella who got their hands on the locket, but rather Ada Wong, a spy sent from a different organization. She had been waiting for a chance to steal the G-Virus. Although it appeared that Sherry would no longer be a target after the locket was stolen, the poisonous fangs of a new threat awaited: the monster G, which had once been her very own father, William Birkin. His mind was destroyed by the G Virus but still acting on his instincts as a parent, he tried to implant his embryo into Sherry in order to make her a medium for the virus.

But with Sherry's well being in mind, it was Claire, who stood strong with only the faintest hope in her heart. Sherry was running a very high fever, and it seemed as if the G-Virus would take control of her, but she recovered when Claire injected her with the vaccine. After escaping from Raccoon City, Sherry was placed under the protection of the U.S. government. She's being kept safe, and is the only one in the world with a resistance to the G-Virus.

Sherry's G-Virus infection and cure

G had managed to infect Sherry with a G-Virus embryo. Sherry quickly showed signs of infection.

It was the pendant that Brian Irons so desperately wanted which held the key to Sherry's salvation. As it was the pendant, which unlocked the anti-viral created by her father, William Birkin.
