Character History and Overview

Sherry the Mouse is an NPC talking mouse with a long history in UO, most of which was indirect. She was most famous for authoring book named My Story, within which the existence of different Shards was revealed. The book originated from a conversation Sherry overheard between Lord British and Lord Blackthorn. Sherry's book was turned into a talking book, available as a reward from from the Britain Library Collection.

Sherry made her appearance in UO during a fateful day when Castle Britannia was under attack by untold numbers of rats. Sherry somehow made sure the rats would not return, and proceeded to make herself a fixture at Lord British's castle, befriending the once-haughty, turned-humble noble named Aileen, and engaging in conversations with other NPCs at the castle.

At some point following this, Sherry was hired as a reporter, and filed several stories from Magincia during the demonic attacks on that city during the Fall of 2007 (see Magincia Invasion). Sherry also at some point was put on Royal Council, and was caught up in the Royal Council Massacre in the Summer of 2008.

She was missing for several months (along with her friend Aileen), and the worst was feared, but she began to reappear early in 2009, around the time Casca ascended to the throne of Britannia. Sherry and Casca were both, by this point, played by the Event Moderators of the various Shards, and thus her personality differed somewhat, shard-to-shard. In general, however, she can be said to greet the new King with a combination of hope, apprehension, respect and skepticism. She typically advised against open opposition to Casca, but counseled in favor of caution and skepticism, to one degree or another.

Despite Sherry's reluctance to oppose Casca, mouse traps began to mysteriously appear in some key locations throughout Britannia on many shards.

As Casca's evil became more and more obvious, Sherry emerged as a full-fledged resistance leader, either springing or at the very least establishing a line of communication to (it has never been made clear which) the imprisoned Avery and Ricardo the Thief. She was also revealed to be a friend of Dawn's and was instrumental in the latter's ascension to the Throne of Britannia.

Sherry was also featured in 2 of the Ultima single-player games upon which UO was based (see Ultima Prime).

Wanders the castle

Sherry is a very mobile mouse. She also acts differently depending on the location she is at. She will also talk to various guards within the castle. She sleeps on a pillow next to Lord British's bed. Mouseholes can be found throughout the castle which allow Sherry to move about. Players using the Ninjitsu ability Animal Form can transform into a rat or use the Magery Polymorph spell to transform into a slime, and move through these holes as well. Only Sherry is able to pass through the hole leading to the throne area.

Since Sherry disappeared, Mouse Holes have started to appear elsewhere...
