Story

Street Fighter EX series

Background

Sharon was entrusted to a monastery when she was still an infant. As she grew up, Sharon began leading a double life, working as an A-Class agent for a secret intelligence organization, as well as a nun raising orphans at the monastery she was raised at. Having never known her true parents, Sharon spent everyday wondering who they were and whatever happened to them.

One day, Sharon's superiors gave her orders to assassinate a certain individual from a neighboring country. While investigating the crime syndicate her target belonged to, she learned that one of the group's key member has the same rose tattoo she has on her chest. Sharon decided to disregard her duty and infiltrated the syndicate to ascertain the identity of this individual and whether or not the person was related to her. While chasing the person with the rose tattoo, she approached the mastermind of the organization. However, she was unable to capture either. The person with the rose tattoo had the same abilities and fighting style Sharon had, managing to overpower her.

For insubordination against her organization, as well as defying her monastery's commandment on pursuing personal vendettas, Sharon was placed on house arrest for a month. After serving her sentence, Sharon went on to continue her search for the person with the rose tattoo.

Endings

Street Fighter EX2

Sharon defied her vow as a nun to avoid personal struggles, as well as her orders from the intelligence agency, just so she could pursue the person with the rose tattoo that she's been single-handily searching for.
However, the ringleader has already escaped to another place. "The tattoo is proof of a traditional ability. If that person has the same fighting method then means..."
She is placed on house arrest, completing her sentence more than a month later.
"It won't be easy to break away the brainwashing. But I know I can do it. Until the day my mother returns."

Street Fighter EX2 Plus

The battle has ended for now. Sharon stood still, as a man of unmeasurable value lied at the far end of the stretched scene.
"There's no turning back now. I..."

Street Fighter EX3

Sharon commands, "I need more information. I need to know the truth!" Suddenly Sharon hears a voice behind her, "You look alike your mother..." As Sharon turns to face the strange voice, she feels an acute pain on the back of her head. As he faints she whispers "You are..."

Gameplay

Fighting Style

Sharon's fighting style is possibly military combat techniques due to her role as an A-Class agent and also using firearms.

Moveset

Sharon's moves are damaging when she utilizes both her punches and kicks. She can knock her opponent by lunging them on the ground serving as one of her throws But in Fighting EX Layer, two of her lunges are replaced with two right jabs on her downed opponent. Her kicks are also shown to be damaging when she uses her Half Moon Kick or her basic attacks.

Sharon is the only known playable character in the EX series, and the Street Fighter series in general, to actually wield firearms (i.e., handgun and sniper rifle). She uses them as part of a special attack (specifically one of her Super Combos and her Meteor Combo). When executing one of her Super Combos or her Meteor Combo, it has a limiter in which she can only damage her opponent with just one shot. Sharon does not use her gun in the original Street Fighter EX2 (it only appears in one of her win poses), she started using it in Street Fighter EX2 Plus.

In Fighting EX Layer, her handgun resembles an M55 magnum where she quickly prepares her bullets from her handgun and to use it on her Super Combos. She retains all of her moves from the Street Fighter EX series and she is no longer using the Load Super Combo due to its limiter of her bullets appear on the bottom of the screen and like Ibuki, she can shot her magnum six times until it was emptied. She will reload her six bullets in another round. She has a purple hue when utilizing both her special attacks and Super Combos. Her Hellfire has two variations; one is a special attack that shoot her opponent in one hand similar to a projectile which can also deal one or two shots and the other being her actual Super Combo that deals heavy damage in one shot which glows in a bloody crimson. Her Sharon Special now have an additional kick making her damage three times before she ended with her Half Moon Kick. She also has a new fighting stance where she is ready to quick draw her handgun while being holstered during battles and a new grappling move where she hop and shoot her opponent's back with her magnum and lands a powerful kick.

Super Combos

Throughout the EX series as explained below, Sharon's Super Combos involves her to use firearms and she has the most Super Combos aside from her Meteor Combo with a total of four.

Her first Super Combo is Load where Sharon loads her handgun and a bullet symbol will show at the bottom of the screen. She is still able to attack normally and she is seen holding the pistol the entire time while utilizing both punches and kicks. Her second Super Combo is Hellfire where she fires a single shot of her handgun after using Load. In Fighting EX Layer, her Hellfire now has two variations as explained above. Her third Super Combo is the Shuttle Combination where Sharon thrusts her opponent in the air, and follows up with a series of blows before grabbing them mid-air and driving them to the ground face first. Her fourth Super Combo is the Sharon Special as Sharon performs a launching knee attack, and then juggles the opponent with a series of two kicks and ends with a Half Moon Kick. In Fighting EX Layer, it is now a series of three kicks while a quick pace. Her Meteor Combo is the Assault Rifle and like both Load and Hellfire Super Combos, Sharon will hit a single shot with her sniper rifle dealing massive damage on her opponent.
