Sherry is survivor of the outbreak and later an antagonist in The Walking Dead. She is one of the original members of the Saviors, and was the wife of Dwight before she ended up "marrying" Negan and was the first of many women Negan takes on as his wives. After Negan is defeated and Dwight, the new leader of the Saviors, leaves the Sanctuary, Sherry becomes the new leader of the Saviors during the war with the Whisperers. Under her leadership, they plot to take over Alexandria after the community is devastated by a vast herd of walkers. This ultimately failed when she was accidentally killed by Rick Grimes when the two attempted to create a peaceful resolution to the conflict. She served as the secondary antagonist of Volume 27: The Whisperer War and the primary antagonist of Volume 28: A Certain Doom.
Nothing is known about Sherry's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she was married to Dwight.
Sherry is introduced to Negan by Dwight. She initially distrusts him but gradually warms up to him, as evidenced by her flirting with Negan.
At some point after the Saviors discover the Sanctuary, Sherry agrees to become one of Negan's wives (being the first one to do so), with the justification that it would make life easier for herself and her husband, Dwight. However, she underestimated how much she would miss him after the separation, so the two continued to have an affair behind Negan's back. After Negan found out, he presumably gave her the same offer he would later give to Amber: going back to Dwight or staying with Negan. Sherry chose the latter, resulting in Dwight being punished by having his face burnt with an iron. She later convinced Amber to become one of Negan's wives as well.
On her initial introduction, Sherry is shown to be a weary yet kind-hearted individual, looking out for her friends (such as Amber and Mark) and trying her best to maintain the peace. She also appeared to be invested in the emotional well-being of those around her, as seen when she comforted Mark over Amber's disappearance.
Following the end of the war between the joint communities and the Saviors, however, Sherry's true personality gradually starts to surface. Even though she was free of Negan, Sherry left Dwight for another man once more, greatly attributing to his self-doubt that ultimately caused him to resign as leader of the Saviors. Though Dwight initially believed Sherry became one of Negan's wives to better both of their lives, it is implied that she only did this for her benefit. Negan also describes Sherry as an opportunist, a sentiment that is reinforced in Here's Negan, where it is implied that she started her affair with Negan much sooner than previously thought. As leader, she starts exhibiting signs of megalomania, partially caused by being forced to submit to Negan. Though Rick tries to reason with her, she attacks him for what she perceives is him trying to control her, leading to her death.

Sherry (Friendly/Understanding) reassuring Negan that is okay if he’s a little stand-offish and welcomes him into the group. “Not at all. Y’know… We’ve all seen people die. Couple people travelled with us… Died so quickly I don’t even remember their names. I understand it. But I’m Sherry, okay? Try not to forget it.”
Sherry (Angry but has her voice lowered) telling Dwight to shut up and just accept how things are going. "What the fuck is a “leader”?! Leader of what? Is this kindergarten? Stop being so threatened, Dwight. Someone points out a path we all agree looks safer, we’re going to take it regardless of who did the pointing! And keep your voice down. Someone will hear you."
Sherry (Angry/Outraged) shouting at Rick for making a remark about her and her insanity. "What in the world gave you that impression? I’ve lived through a lot– Put up with a lot! The things I’ve had to do to survive… Who I’ve had to ally myself with– Submit myself to… It takes its toll. It weighs on you! Sane. Who’s sane anymore? You sure as hell aren’t! I don’t know how many of us left would qualify as sane. You know what’s really crazy, though?! You thinking we’re all just going to fall in line and so what you tell us to! Thinking I’d be afraid enough to let you tell me what to do! Those days are over! You hear me?!! Over!!!”
