* Manga

**Sheryl** is an extremely beautiful young girl. She is the leader of Sheryl's gang formed after her previous gang was wiped out by Akira.

## Appearance

Sheryl is a very beautiful young girl, enough for her to be mistaken as a daughter of a rich family inside the inner district. She has a petite build with long and straight pink blonde hair and blue eyes.

## Personality

At first, Sheryl is shown as a cowardly girl, willing to do anything in order to survive, this led her to seek the favor of different people ending up in Sibea's gang, in which, due to her beauty, she was his favorite girl and was destined to become his partner in due time.

However, because Sibea's entire gang was wiped out by Akira. Sheryl tried to seduce and manipulate him, failing in the attempt and being forced to lead the gang herself. This event pushed her to her emotional limits with Akira being her only emotional support, becoming extremely devoted to him.

Because of all these experiences, Sheryl became an extremely calculating and efficient person, able to use her appearance to get the most benefits from her trading partners and other hunters, her only weakness and at the same time greatest strength being her extreme love and devotion for Akira, for whom she is able to endure all kinds of situations and even tortures,  her greatest terror being to be abandoned by him.

## Background

Taking advantage of her appearance, Sheryl achieved a prominent place in the Sibea gang, as she was his favorite. This gave Sheryl a sense of security and well-being which she lost when Akira slaughtered the entire gang.

## Abilities

### Intelligence

Throughout the series Sheryl has proven to be quite intelligent, quickly noticing the underlying reasons when dealing with business and other matters. This has led her to understand when a situation is dangerous for her, as well as to find a way out of that situation.

### Manipulation

Sheryl has learned to be a good manipulator, to the point of easily fooling anyone who lowers their guard in front of her and her appearance.

### Business Management

Despite her young age, Sheryl has shown incredible administrative ability, not only organizing her gang, but also starting small businesses with which to earn money, her food stand being her greatest success.

## Relationships

### Akira

Sheryl is deeply devoted and deeply loves Akira. She will always put forward her best effort in order to fulfill Akira's wishes. Although Akira doesn't trust her yet, this doesn't hinder her from trying to be useful to him although it does make her somewhat depressed. She was initially scared of Akira as she had seen him annihilate the entire Sibea gang in front of her eyes. This gave her a deep impression that Akira was a strong hunter that can easily abandon and kill her if Akira wanted to. Just the thought of Akira abandoning her is enough to break her usual facade to the point that others would notice.

She also relies on Akira for mental support and constantly hugs him whenever she gets the chance. She is devoted enough to Akira that she is willing to take a bath and sleep with him with nothing but her undergarment with the sole purpose of being closer to him. Although Akira does find Sheryl's advances distressing, but he doesn't tell her he dislikes it at all. Sheryl admitted that she does in fact love Akira because he's the only one that gave her a sense of security and dependence. She knows that she will immediately give up on herself and die if Akira was to abandon her. She also knows that Akira is twisted in many ways but she still gives an effort to be noticed by him. Overall, Sheryl's goal is to have a place where she and Akira can be happy and safe; and also repay Akira for the many different favors that he gave her.

As time went by, Akira developed a certain concern for Sheryl's well-being, and he is willing to help her as long as he doesn't have anything important to do.

### Katsuya

Sheryl met Katsuya and his friends during the shopping trip with Akira. Her first impression on Katsuya was that of a quiet, handsome, and skilled hunter. Katsuya was smitten when he first saw Sheryl and was very flustered when talking to her. During her conversation with Katsuya, she managed to extract information about Katsuya and the Drankam gang and shared it to Akira (although Akira was not aware that it was Katsuya who Sheryl got the info from).

Sheryl subconsciously imagined inviting Katsuya for a meal and walking hand-in-hand through the lower district in order to deepen their connection to invite him to her gang. But it was immediately cut short when they pass by Akira who looked at her with an unchanging expression and cut ties with her (this all occurred in her imagination). This snapped her back to reality and was very distressed and nervous at the thought of Akira abandoning her, enough for Katsuya to notice. This made her reevaluate Katsuya as nothing more than a promising young hunter and all her good evaluation of him had completely vanished. She still maintains a somewhat friendly relationship with Katsuya in order to extract more information about ruins and Drankam from him.

Sheryl does make a note to herself that there is something off about Katsuya that makes it so not only her, but other girls as well, view him in a "favorable" manner. Noting that most girls would easily fall in love with him upon meeting him(due to a special ability that he activates subconsciously).

### Viola

After the Elna incident, Sheryl dislikes having to interact with her, so she is always on her guard when they talk. Despite all this Sheryl recognizes Viola's skills and has even learned some things from her, despite this, Sheryl would not hesitate to get rid of her if the opportunity arises.

### Carol

Given the cheeky way Carol tries to seduce Akira in front of her, Sheryl has taken a serious dislike to her. However Sheryl recognizes Carol's abilities as a hunter, in addition to the fact that like her, Carol feels great respect and admiration for Akira, this has made Sheryl able to tolerate her.

Despite being aware of Sheryl's displeasure, Carol tends to annoy her by saying that if Viola had a younger sister, it would be Sheryl. This is because of how incredibly similar they are in terms of cunning, manipulation, and business intelligence
