Specific Name and Visual Details

Specific Name: KOF ’98 UM Orochi Team Shermie

• Head and Face: The figure flawlessly replicates Shermie’s most defining feature: her striking, pinkish-red hair with heavy bangs that completely obscure her eyes, giving her a mysterious yet playful aura.

• Upper Body Clothing: She is dressed in her classic, fashion-forward fighting attire. She wears a light pink, tailored collared jacket with flared sleeves, worn open over a form-fitting dark purple leotard/top featuring a deep neckline.

• Accessories (The Keytar): Posed dynamically in her hands is a massive, custom pink keytar (a keyboard guitar) with classic black and white piano keys. This unique accessory pays homage to her lore as a musician. She also wears a delicate gold bracelet on her right wrist.

• Lower Body and Footwear: Her outfit is completed with a pair of highly detailed, light pink knee-high boots. These distinctive boots are adorned with multiple metallic silver buckles running down the front of the shins.

Historical Background (SNK IP & KOF ’98 UM)

• The Franchise: The King of Fighters is a monumental arcade fighting game franchise created by SNK. KOF ’98 Ultimate Match is widely regarded by the Fighting Game Community (FGC) as a masterpiece of balance and roster size, making it one of the most popular retro fighting games in the world.

• Shermie & The Orochi Team: Shermie first appeared as the stylish keyboardist for the band C.Y.S. (alongside Chris and Yashiro), competing in the tournament as the “New Faces Team.” However, beneath her cheerful and flirtatious exterior lies a dark secret: she is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, dedicated to reviving a dark god. In combat, she is incredibly dangerous, utilizing a brutal and acrobatic grappling fighting style heavily inspired by professional wrestling (featuring devastating suplexes and dropkicks).
