**Sherbet Summers** is one of the protagonists of the *Cerberus High* series. She is a 15-year-old tanuki-canid who becomes Kazuki Akai’s first true friend upon entering the titular school.

## Background

### Early Life

Before being condemned to Cerberus High, Sherbet was in a gang that consisted her, Aya and five other human children. This was her way escaping the strictness of her parents and the strife that came with being a middle child.

Sherbet parents soon found out about her nightly escapades, resulting her having to leave the gang. Aya was also forbidden to going back to the gang by her parents as well as forced to end her friendship with Sherbet. Sherbet was distraught when she heard the news at school and broke down when she got home. Ignoring her parents and sisters, Sherbet locked herself in the bathroom and chopped her long, brown hair and bleached it until became a bone-white. When her mother found out about what she'd done, Sherbet was condemned.

## Appearance

    Sherbet Summers is a teenage girl with tan skin and olive eyes. She has curly, chin-length brown hair that is dyed white. Being a tanuki canid breed, Sherbet has dark brown tanuki ears and a fluffy striped tail.

### Cerberus High

For her main attire Sherbet wears a yellow and pink crop-top with a small heart-shaped cut-out at the bust. She has a white turtleneck collar centered with a vertical yellow border. The bottom half of her outfit consists of pink spanks and hot pink knee boots. For accessories, Sherbet is seen sporting white and yellow arm warmers.

### Epilogue

### Cerberus High II

As deputy headmistress in the sequel, Sherbet dresses herself in a white long-sleeved turtleneck that is worn over an ivory blouse with short, puffy sleeves that have frilled edges and a single white slash design on each breast. This ivory blouse is left open save for the button at the very top and is further decorated with a pink ribbon at the collar which is adorned with a small gold heart at the center. Over her blouse is a magenta corset and she wears a long pink skirt that is completed with magenta slippers.

## Personality

On the surface, Sherbet presents herself as a reckless trickster but when you get to know her well she’s actually pretty sensible and level-headed. Her street smarts from being in a gang when she was younger helped Sherbet get out of a lot of tight pinches as a Cerberus student. The reason why she was so passionate about becoming Kazuki’s bodyguard was that he reminded her of her childhood friend Aya who was also a human. Sherbet can always tell whenever Kazuki is upset due to the latter never knowing how to mask his emotions.

She hates how weak she is compared to Kazuki and Axel. After Kazuki awakened his powers, she feels like she isn’t needed anymore as his bodyguard. This makes her super hellbent on surpassing both of them to show her worth.

* **Ninja Weapons:** Sherbet has an unlimited arsenal of ninja weapons up her literally sleeve. This weapons include a shuriken, nunchakus, and a kusari-fundo.
* **Enhanced Speed**
* **Pick-Pocketing:** An ability she acquired from being in her little gang as a child.
