As Erika is a minor character, there's a lot that's left unspecified. This post is a collection of various bits I've brought into my own headcanon for her.
- Erika herself is not a gamer even if she enjoys them. She is aware of video game canons because of the boys (and enjoys the storylines) but leaves the actual playing to them. She has at times been known to run commentary on the storyline, often to the detriment of play.
- Erika doesn't grasp jealousy, or at least she doesn't react to people flirting with Walker to make her jealous. This is both because she's confident enough to know that they're a forever thing and because hey, she ships Walker with other people herself. Her only objection would be if she wasn't allowed to watch.
- That being said, she does react badly to threats against Walker, Kadota or Tosuga. The van gang is more of a family to her than her actual family ever was and she would literally lay down her life for them, Kadota especially.
- Being the only girl in the van gang doesn't bother her. In fact, she finds it easier to get on with guys than she does with girls, if only because that's who she's always gotten on with better in the past.
- This has a lot to do with the fact that Erika is not much of a girlie girl herself. While she does prefer long dresses and skirts over trousers, she doesn't take a huge interest in what she wears (though she does have her own personal style which she tends to stick to). She's also a terrible cook, to the point where she's pretty much banned from the kitchen, although there are some things she can do that might be considered feminine (for example, she's adept enough at sewing for cosplay and that helps her help the boys from time to time)
- Erika can't abide complete silence. She can deal with quiet, so if she's around other people and can hear them breathing that's okay, but not absolute silence. This goes double for when it's dark or she's otherwise restricted visually.
- Having never left Ikebukuro, Erika has a fascination for the truly natural wherever it presents itself. She's not a hippie by any means but in situations where she is in somewhere less built-up than Ikebukuro she tends to appreciate it.
( Sex and other matters )
