Appearance

Erika is a medium-sized girl with long light blonde hair and a pair of light blue eyes. Usually seen wearing Kuromorimine's uniform, wearing the jacket and hat during matches. She is modeled to be the stereotypical german girl.

Personality

issues. Erika is initially shown as quite an arrogant character, constantly insulting the Ooarai team for their lack of experience and constantly wishing to crush them herself. She has an extremely short temper, and has a tendency to become enraged whenever things don't go her way, similar to Katyusha. She bore a serious grudge against Miho ever since her first year at Kuromorimine, up to and including Miho "abandoning" Kuromorimine and then betraying them by becoming the commander for a different school, despite her previous claim to abandon Sensha-Dō entirely. By the end of the anime however, she does show some decency when she (and Maho) admit defeat to the Ooarai team, happily saying that "We won't lose next time". She wears her shell of toughness, and cannot handle affectionate, and caring gesture towards her that well.

Talent

She can also fly the team's Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 and their LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin.

Mindset

Arrogant, Confident

Trope

German stereotype appearance and harshness of speech.
