Despite Nathan’s initial plan to hide his escape to the arcade from his family, his sister Sheryl soon found out through following him. Due to her extremely likable character, she was immediately accepted in the friend group and became a cherished member of Exa_Gone.

Aware of her brother’s plans to complete their father‘s work, JAKE, Sheryl continuously covered up for him, allowing Nathan to go on with his double life of a hacker and a student. She became close to Shawn and Chris and the two became their best friends as well as her brother’s. 

Driven by the same need for justice regarding William Bender and Jake Teling, Sheryl fully supported Nathan’s decision to get a Drift Port, albeit concerned for his condition with the installment. 

Contracted by Data Security to ‘take care’ of Exa_Gone, Andrew, a mysterious agent of the secret squad OPSY, tries at multiple times to get his hands on JAKE and apprehend Nathan. 

Warned by Marco himself that he would target Sheryl if he didn’t give in, Nathan became alarmed by his sister’s known involvement. However, Sheryl was determined not to abandon and remained active in Exa_Gone, not wanting to let Marco win again.

Thanks to TANAKA’s sacrifice, Exa_Gone manages to upgrade JAKE’s clearance in the Drift and the hacktivist cell releases Data Security’s hidden informations to the public. 

As the rebellion against DS’s supremacy grows, Nathan becomes an icon of justice and becomes OPSY priority. It also means that Sheryl becomes their target to bait him out and she has no choice but to remain in the hideaway‘s safety.

 Helping around as best as she could despite her not being a hacker, Sheryl became a symbol of positivity and hope in their rebel den. 

While Nathan was undergoing surgery, Sheryl was designated leader by association of Exa_Gone. Instantly contacted by Chris regarding the Twins’ arrival, she was the one to green light their stay in the hideout. 

Although her decision was frowned upon by most, no one dared question it apart from her brother. This fight was also the opportunity for them to talk about Sheryl’s entwined fate due to Nathan’s decisions and the shared loss of their father. 

Despite the tension, Sheryl showed to be an excellent leader just like her sibling. 

After Nathan’s and Andrew’s fight against OPSY agents and Marco, successfully damaging their ranks, the Bender siblings took the decision to upload JAKE into the DS servers, rebooting the entire system at the cost of various technical issues across the country.

Though the decision may be frowned upon, this felt like justice for William, Jake and Ahmed and a brand new start for their society.
