Kazakiri Hyouka Arc

 * Main article: Kazakiri Hyouka Arc

Sherry appears in Academy City with the intention of attacking a person of importance to either Academy City or the Church in order to cause a conflict, -- and eventually, war-- between the factions. During her assault, she reveals to Touma that she seeks to keep science and magic divided in order to prevent the tragedy that once befell her friend Ellis, who had been sent to the Church from Academy City for an attempt to create a magician-esper hybrid. This attempt went horribly wrong as not only did the esper participants suffer major injuries from magic, but were killed by the Knights of England as the experiment was illegal under the truce between the Science and Magic sides. Blaming both sides for letting Ellis suffer and be killed, Sherry swore revenge against them by making them suffer like she had. The incompatibility of science and magic destroyed Ellis, and Sherry believed that it was impossible to reconcile the two forces and that it would only result in terrible pain for others.

After the events in Kazakiri Kyouka Arc, she has later come to her senses and is shown to hang around Kaori and some of her friends from other branches of the church. She makes an appearance in the second season in episode 11 sitting with Orsola Acquinas in a library while on the phone with Stiyl. It appears she is someone who values cleanliness, as seen when she scolds Orsola for dropping crumbs while she eats her muffin.

Abilities
Her ability allows her to summon the golem "Ellis" from any material in the surrounding area such as concrete, iron gates, wires, and more with her Kabbalah Statue art. This is done through writing out "Golem Ellis," or various other symbols on any solid surface, usually by using chalk as the writing material. She can also create eyes by the same method as means of spying. As stated by Sherry, she cannot create more than one golem at a time. However, she has used this to her advantage as seen in season one where she causes the ground to collapse in order for her to escape being detained by Touma.

Like Orsola Aquinas, she is also a decoder, which was part of the reason why the English Anglicans decided to keep her on probation after the events in Volume 6. Also, she works part-time at the Royal Academy Of Arts as a lecturer on sculpting, as shown in Volume 16. However, it doesn't seem like she enjoyed her job there.
