Erika is 5’11“, generally towering over her sisters and has Nordic features. The smooth, fair skin upon her hourglass figure is drawn taut over her toned frame. What little body fat she has seems to be strategically placed upon her chest and hips. She has silver hair that extends to halfway down her back which she had pulled into a tidy ponytail, and her fringe has a set of bangs that frame her heart shaped face. A pair of round golden eyes are inset within, often wide, alert and shining with curiosity. Her voice is resonant, possessing a velvety quality and readily able to efficiently convey her emotional state. A scent of Eucalyptus seems to follow her around.

Erika's manner is more mature than her age would suggest. On duty she operates in a professional manner with the occasional individual joke. Off duty she is generally friendly and approachable, fond of pulling the occasional minor faux pas to break the cadence of her comrades. Though she projects experience, she is very aware that she has much to learn. She also has some strange hag ups around certain aspects of Yamatai society and technology, being unusually spiritual for a YSE citizen, let alone a Vat Grown Nekovalkyrja.

Erika loves competitive sports. When the girls get together to play zero g laser tag, she’s quick to jump in. Despite the fact she’s got the handicap of having a larger silhouette Erika tends to do quite well. In the case of most other sports her stature is a boon rather than a bane.

An occasional image of an acreage floats up into her minds eye from time to time, a place a part where she can more freely exercise her independence.

Maybe take up cooking?

Proud batch of ’43, Erika attended her socialization training, then basic. A 33A originally slated for ground forces, her instructors noted that she had keen observation skills surpassing those of her peers and thus recommended her for SELECT. She was shipped off to compete against other candidates at Black Sands. Built for the service with a sturdy psychological core, Erika managed to get through the ordeal and was given a ‘go’, though perhaps not without it taking a toll on her still developing psyche. Further training in utilizing her innate observation skills to conduct analysis further exacerbated these developing eccentricities. The change in her personality was deemed as within tolerance.

Despite the negatives, there were certainly some positives. There was something akin to a hunt in information gathering and analysis that spoke to Erika’s engineered genes; stalking prey, waiting for the opportune moment.

Following graduation, she was assigned to a SIFT unit to assist with their operations, specifically overwatch, analysis and communications. To better fill her role before deployment she was given additional training in Electronic Warfare.

On YE 45.4 Erika was deployed to assist the YSS Resurgence in assaulting a Mishhuvuthar fleet while the YSS Wakaba and her crew was recovered. She was subsequently reassigned to the Resurgence. For her efforts she recieved several awards, not the least of which was a Yui's Blood Medallion.

On YE 45.6 Erika participated in the YSS Resurgence's mission to explore a newly discovered wormhole. During the mission an ancient space station was located and secured, along with 20 million alien refugees.

Optional section. Erika Elster has the following notable skills:

• Electronic Warfare: She has a demonstrated ability to employ these skills effectively in both defensive and offensive role. She is experienced with on lower powered man portable systems to be used in the field, but core concepts should be applicable to other scales of hardware.
• Rogue: A core unit of her training, Erika is proficient in a wide variety of Trade craft skills. Social engineering, covert entry, interrogation, and encryption are just some of the concepts she’s been trained in.
• Survival: A fair portion of her training was dedicated to field craft. Camouflage and concealment, first aid, navigation, and traversal. In particular, using terrain to transmit a signal while masking one’s location was a competency in her Signals unit. While she might object to some of the conditions, she found herself in, she enjoys the solitude of such scenarios. If in an actual life-threatening situation, the Standard Conditioning Package and her SERE training make her a monster to contend with.
• Fighting/Physical: What she’s built for. Erika’s stature has both pros and cons. A larger silhouette makes of a more appealing target, while the increased leverage certainly has its benefits. Whilst she handily beat her standard type 33 peers in training at most hand-to-hand tasks, the number of times her instructors left her lying on her back upon a training mat humbled her. She’s a competent marksman and power Armour operator, with a particular talent for fast acrobatic feats.
