Orochi Shermie

Shermie of the Insanely Violent Lightning (荒れ狂う稲光のシェルミー, Are Kuruou Inabikari no Sherumī) is the Heavenly King title of Shermie. This is an alternate form of Shermie that was introduced in The King of Fighters '97 as part of the sub-boss team, alongside Orochi Yashiro and Orochi Chris. Her Orochi name is a homage to one of the opening themes of Lupin the 3rd.

Story
It's not known when Shermie realized she was a Heavenly King. Shermie entered the '97 tournament with Yashiro and Chris to get revenge on Iori Yagami for stealing their show, but the true reason they entered the tournament was to collect energy from the fighters and use it to awake Orochi. At the end of the tournament, Yashiro, Shermie and Chris activated the Riot of the Blood within Leona Heidern and Iori Yagami. When the two were defeated, the New Faces Team revealed themselves as Heavenly Kings and started to fight the Japan Team. Shermie faced Benimaru Nikaido but was defeated. Defeated, Yashiro and Shermie killed themselves to give their energy to Orochi, their master.

Personality
She becomes serious and sadistic during this form, preaching that her master will bring the end of humans. But when it comes to her colleagues, she is no different from her original attitude.

Powers

 * Electrokinesis - Given by Orochi, Shermie is able to control electricity.
 * Create Electricity - Shermie can create electricity from thin air.
 * Electric Projectile - Shermie can fire a projectile of electric energy.
 * Electric Attacks - Shermie can infuse her attacks with electricity.
 * Thunder - Shermie can summon thunders from the sky.
 * Orochi Power - As a Heavenly King, Shermie has limited control of the Orochi power.
 * Activate Riot of the Blood - Shermie can activate the Riot of the Blood within people susceptible to that.
 * Syphon - Shermie can give energy to Orochi.

Fighting Style
She abandons her pro wrestling moves and relies more on her electric attacks. Her fighting style in this form is somewhat reminiscent of Benimaru's. Like the other Four Kings, her moves are all written using the Cyrillic alphabet.
