Sherry Polnareff

Sherry is a slim, attractive young woman whose dark hair falls in long curls. Apart from eyes that resemble her brother's and a height a bit above average, she shares few traits with Jean Pierre Polnareff. The anime dresses her in a school uniform and hands her a frilly pink parasol. When Judgement later conjures a false version of her, the copy stares blankly and stands bare, and drawing near exposes a half-formed right side of the face with a glowing crimson lump lodged in the eye socket.

The tale offers only glimpses of who Sherry was. What comes through most clearly is a warm bond with her older brother, close enough that Jean Pierre keeps her photograph on him long after her death and lets her memory steer the direction of his life.

Sherry was still in her teens when her life was cut short. Walking home through a storm beside a friend, she was assaulted and killed by J. Geil, and the lone witness who lived through it was dismissed by the authorities. That failure of justice hardened her brother's resolve to hunt the murderer down himself, and years later Jean Pierre does exactly that, cornering and slaying J. Geil in combat.

Her memory surfaces one final time through the Stand Judgement, which grants Polnareff a wish and dangles the promise of bringing her back. What it produces instead is a clay double that mimics her look and voice, only to strike the moment he lowers his guard and steps close. The imitation is ultimately wrecked when Judgement hurls it toward Magician's Red to create a diversion.
