Transcript[]
In 1998, William Birkin, father of Sherry Birkin, decided to keep the results of his G-Virus research for himself. His superiors at Umbrella had grown tired of his attitude and sent a commando unit to retrieve the virus for them. The unit's mission coincided with the T-Virus leak that had contaminated Raccoon City. The confluence of the two events contributed greatly to the city's destruction.
Sherry Birkin was also caught up in these events, but thanks to the heroic efforts of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, she was able to survive the incident. Sherry considered Claire to be her new mother after losing both her parents. It was Claire's love and devotion that had the greatest impact on Sherry's development, and Claire's nurturing and compassionate ways have manifested themselves in Sherry's own personality. Sherry and Claire both led very busy lives, but Sherry still made an effort to try and meet when their schedules allowed it.
Below is an e-mail addressed to Claire, but accidentally sent to a co-worker.

Hey Claire,
I was able to get some days off at the end of next month when you said you'd be in America. I have so much I want to talk to you about. I can't wait to see you!
I'll send Ronny a message, too. I bet he'll be excited to hear you're coming back!
1998年、シェリー・バーキンの実父であるウィリアム・バーキンは、自身が発見した「G-ウィルス」を独占しようとしたことで上層部の反感を買い、彼が属する組織の特殊工作部隊にウィルスを奪われそうになった。
その際に、「G-ウィルス」とは別の、人間をゾンビへと変える「t-ウィルス」が研究所外部に流出してしまう。これがラクーン事件の発端となった。シェリーもこの事件に巻き込まれるが、二人の人間と出会い、彼らの助けを得たことで、ゾンビパニックに陥ったラクーンシティから生還を果たした。
その人間こそ、レオン・S・ケネディと、クリス・レッドフィールドの妹であるクレア・レッドフィールドである。特に、事件後も親身になってシェリーを支え続けたクレアは、両親にまともに愛されずに育ったシェリーにとって、肉親以上に信頼を置く存在になった。
クレアがシェリーに与えた影響は大きく、彼女の母性や包容力は、シェリーに受け継がれていった。軟禁が解けてエージェントとなったシェリーは、制限付きとはいえ自由を手に入れた。現在、NGOに所属し世界を飛び回るクレアと、合衆国エージェントであるシェリーは互いに多忙な身の上だが、スケジュールが合えば一緒に過ごす親密さを見せている。
シェリーが、誤って同僚に送信してしまったクレア宛てのメールが残っている。

「クレア、あなたがアメリカに帰ってくるって言ってた来月末、私も休暇をもらったわ。話したいことがいっぱいあるの。会えるのが楽しみよ。ラーニーちゃんにも連絡しておくわね。あなたが帰ってくると聞けば、とても喜ぶわ」
In 1998, Sherry Birkin's father William Birkin incurred the opposition of the top brass by attempting to monopolize the "G-Virus" he himself discovered, and the virus was almost stolen from him by his organization's security service.
At that time, the "t-Virus" which transforms humans into Zombies and is different from the "G-Virus" had leaked outside a laboratory. This was the beginning of the Raccoon incident. Although Sherry was also embroiled in this incident, she met two people, and with their help she survived from Raccoon City, which had fallen into a Zombie panic.
The people were Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, the younger sister of Chris Redfield. Particularly, following the incident the kind Claire continued to support Sherry, who had grown up without any direct love from her parents, and Sherry came to put more trust in her than a blood relative.
Claire's influence on Sherry was big, and Sherry inherited her motherliness and tolerance. Sherry's house arrest was cleared and she became an agent, obtaining a restricted freedom. Now, although Claire belongs to an NGO and flies around the world while Sherry is a U.S. agent, and they each have busy situations, they display their closeness and spend time together if their schedules permit.
An e-mail addressed to Claire which Sherry accidentally sent to a coworker remains.

"Claire, when you said you were coming back to the U.S. at the end of next month, I got a vacation.
There's a lot I want to talk with you about. I can't wait to see you.
I'll let Rani know. She'll be very happy to hear you're coming home"
