Personal Information

Appearance

Erica is a young white woman standing at 5'4” and of slim, wiry build. She keeps her fallow hair tied back in a tight ponytail and out of her storm-grey eyes. Her right arm is covered in a sleeve tattoo of a stylised black carp surrounded by red camellias.

Erica almost exclusively wears comfortable branded running gear and a good pair of sneakers, but has been known to dress up for special occasions. She keeps a green stone charm of a cat on her person to represent her totem, typically hanging it from her waist.

Personality

Erica is a reclusive young woman, quiet, and with an aloofness that belies her sensitivity. She speaks with sincerity, but is known to be temperamental. Erica won't give up anything easily, and she likes to challenge those around her to do their best and make good use of their potential. She always warms up before a hunt, and occasionally mutters to herself in Japanese.
