Personality: Erina was raised a proper Victorian-era lady. Like any young lady of means this meant she was educated. She also seems to have been by herself often as a child and dealt with some suspicion to her father’s practice (after a boy deemed him a ‘quack’), which visibly bothered her. Erina’s sense of propriety is also very in line with her era, as she chooses to dress and present herself in normal attire for her class.

Erina is also curious of others, going so far as to stalk admire Jonathan from afar when he saved her from bullies, but also taking the time to clean his dirty handkerchief and offering him fruit to cheer him up. She is very observant, noticing Jonathan’s loneliness as a child, and then later when she is a nurse and Erina’s choices after Dio also show a sense of bold, sly, fury by showing Dio that he was less worthy to be on her lips by cleaning them with dirty puddle water, despite knowing that very near to the scene of the crime was a much cleaner river. The move was calculated enough to get a rise out of Dio, but that it did at all spoke volumes of her planning in that moment.

She is very intelligent, evidenced by her bucking the typical trend of very minor schooling, and becoming a nurse to assist her father later in her youth.

As she grew into adulthood, these same traits were polished. Her words are often carefully chosen and measured (but moreso as an adult than a child), and her presence brings about a sense of calm for those she devotes her time to. Despite everything that could have had far worse consequences on her psyche as an adult, Erina retained her kindness and care for others (seen in her work as a nurse and willingness to help those in need). She became more vocal as an adult woman as well, chastising Baron Zeppeli when he appeared to harm Jonathan.

Erina is rather romantic as an adult, though she tends to keep that toned down some when in public spaces where such things may appear unsightly or unseemly. She is protective of him, and to this end her own stubborn and determined nature is clear as she allowed no one else into the room to see Jonathan while he was being tended to and pointedly turned away even his friend, Speedwagon. She spent perhaps more time than necessary with him as he recovered, and that spread even into taking walks with him during his recovery (and ostensibly deepening their relationship by talking). At the end of part one, she states that she would rather die with Jonathan than escape a doomed ship and be without him and must be convinced to live at Jonathan’s request.
She has no lack of devotion for her loved ones; she loves both her family, and Jonathan, and would do anything to keep them safe and well with everything in her power. To this end, Erina’s goodness and kindness are sometimes to her detriment, as she can let herself grow worn out, or even harm her own body to keep working on a worthy cause.

Erina is a woman who sets herself to do something and will complete it regardless of what it does to her.

Victory Road Sample: The pachirisu was darling. After a few uncertain pets, trying to remember how to handle an animal more energetic than a fat housecat, Peda found herself a comfortable perch on Erina’s side as they looked over her map together. At least it appeared that most everything was in a straight line. There was plenty of travel between much of the areas and that was bound to make her tired, but her walking shoes were comfortable, and it was good exercise.
And, despite the earlier parts of their where Peda broke into her food and ate so much of it she looked a bit like a sock with a ball inside of it, things were truly looking up for her. It was easier now to look forward to seeing her beloved Jonathan, and to meeting her distant family members.

That concept was still strange, but she was getting used to it. “Well, Peda,” she said after a few moments, turning to address the chubby pachirisu. “It will not be easy, I think, to travel alone, but if you keep me well protected, then perhaps at the end of this I will make sure you have your own, personal plate of berries.“

The bribe appeared to work, as Peda shimmied down the side of her skirt and hurried off down the path as fast as its legs would take it. Which, apparently was quite fast. Erina watched for a moment, amused, until she also hurried down the path after it. “Slow down, slow down, we have a very long way to go!”

Peda skidded to a stop and turned to look at Erina as she gamely caught up behind the pachirisu.

“Now, now, please do not look at me that way. I did tell you it would be a long walk, didn’t I? We must pace ourselves, so we are not overtired and out of sorts.” She was anxious to get to the next city, of course. But not making it there was a larger concern. Pade gave Erina a long, suffering sigh as she dropped into a not-quite walk.
