Personality: When you first do meet Erica she tends to have very little trust in anyone, she has seen a lot over the last few years since the outbreak. It takes a lot to allow anyone to have her open up to anyone, she has been betrayed before on the past by people that she has trusted. But once she does get to know a person and she eventually lets you in she will be very protective over that person, that is if no one betrays her in the process first. She would end up taking a bullet for a friend if it did come down to it as well. Erica also does always follow orders if they are ever given to her, if she is in a role of leadership she also knows how to lead a group if it ever did come down to it.
Erica can also be seen as being a pretty creative person, and either can make pretty clever plans or ideas that she could do when out in the field. She likes to think outside of the box when getting creative, if they are needed supplies then she'd go out of her way to get it even going out further if they need to. However Erica does have a pretty stubborn streak, and will always try and convince people to see things her way and convince them however she can. She usually doesn't take a no for an answer either unless she is with a superior that she trusts and will usually fall in line with them, but will still voice her concerns.
Habits: Erica tends to bite her lower lip whenever she is thinking of a plan, or will run a hand through her hair if she is stressed out over something. She also tends to pick at anything that is under her nails if she is very bored, and has nothing to do.
Hobbies: Erica in her spare time before the outbreak she always did like to paint or draw, either one she doesn't have a favorite. She also did learn how to play the guitar and is a huge fan of rock music, as well as reading whenever she has the chance to.
