Shermy

Shermy is a character who exists in the future and is close friends with Beth. Shermy made his first and only appearance in the series finale "Come Along With Me". He and Beth appear to live in Marceline's house, where they have a collection of ancient artifacts.

Appearance
Shermy is a small and light grey cat.undefined Shermy has a long tail, a proportionally large mouth, small black eyes, grey freckles, and large ears. The extremes of his left fore leg and right hind leg are white, instead of light grey. Shermy wears a light red shirt and a khaki satchel.

Personality
Shermy is adventurous and outgoing, and is curious about Ooo's extensive past. He apparently hates the library. It should be noted that Shermy's personality bears resemblance to Finn's during the first few seasons.

History
By far, nothing is known about Shermy's past, save that he came to live with Beth, he's fully aware of her lineage as the Pup Princess and her ongoing rebellion against Gibbon and his tyrannical rule of the Pup Kingdom and he's as reckless and impulsive as the earliest Finn.

Somewhere in the relative past they came to live into Marceline's house, now empty, and as of "Graybles 1000+" he or Beth mastered the ability to play Marceline's banjolele with enough proficiency to sound like she would.

While Finn was driven from a primal need to help, Shermy is defined by his unbridled curiosity, roaming Ooo to collect its "treasure", mostly a hoard of garbage and relics of the Finn's era: in Come Along With Me his failed attempt to capture a Prize Ball Guardian for its loot ends in him acquiring Finn's mechanical arm.

Curious of its origins, but unwilling to go to the library, he accepts Beth's idea to seek the fabled King of Ooo, in their times a lonely BMO, living in a house in the mountains surrounded by relics of his past and thought to be nothing but a legend: there, he makes a show of his unbridled curiosity by destroying part of BMO's collection and trying to steal Simon Petrikov's glasses and Marceline's anti-smoking T-Shirt, prompting BMO to almost throw him out, but politely.

When Beth shows BMO the arm, he finally consents to tell Shermy about the Gum War, the battle against GOLB and the final fate of the people of Finn's era, albeit misnaming Finn as Phil. He then still sends politely him out.

Shermy then remembers to have seen Fern's tree (previously shown in "Lemonhope Part 2" and "Graybles 1000+") in his travels around Ooo, and climbs all the way to its top, finding the restored Finn Sword. He promptly takes it for himself and, as instructed by Beth, he poses with it in the iconic pose of Finn during the opening of the show, symbolically accepting his mantle as the new Hero of Ooo.

The almost total identity of mannerism between Finn and Shermy make him a possible reincarnation of the former.
