Personality: Erika is a plotting perfectionist, an intelligent and cunning individual who uses brains over brawns for fighting her foes. Not that she’s the type to be making the attacks, she will support those she works with to meet her goals. She has little quarrel with the other races of the Horde, but like most Forsaken she sees them as allies of convenience- and not much peeves her more than when they stick their noses in the business of the Forsaken. Erika is a strong supporter of the Forsaken, as well as their war in both Lordaeron and Gilnaes. Though she’s not enlisted herself, and frankly has never served militarily among Forsaken ranks, she does what she can to serve the Dark Lady as well as hinder the progress of the Alliance. She has no love for Humans, Dwarves and especially not Worgen. The most she can possibly muster is to begrudgingly tolerate them, only if they are members of the Argent Crusade.

History: Erika was born into a pious family, her father was a rich banker in the city of Lordaeron. She was brought up both prim and proper, as all respectable lady should. Her family was sternly religious, and her father always made a healthy donation when the Church of the Light asked for tithe. Erika’s early life was rich with the teachings of the Light, even as the Second War raged not far from the city’s walls. She was taught about Respect, Tenacity and Compassion. The years that she spent in the endless classes at the Monastery had come to it’s conclusion, and she had graduated to a fully fledged priest of the Light. The Church had her preaching to peasants along the roadways of Lordaeron, spreading the word of the Light to all she met.

She would have been content to live the life of the faithfull for the rest of her days, though given the choice? Almost every human would no doubt choose life over undeath. Erika was like many others, in that she was given no choice. She fell to the endless scourge that poured over Lordearon, only to be raised by Arthas as a mindless slave. A mindless tool of the Scourge, ravaging and slaughtering all the living she came across. It was a full year before her ghoulish servitude was severed, when the Lich King weakened and the Banshee Queen’s Forsaken gained the upper hand on the Scourge. When Erika regained control of her body and soul, she was a befouled undead. Scared, angry, confused, though not alone. She quickly accepted her Forsaken brothers and sisters as her allies and her new family, feeling deeply betrayed by the Light her family had been devoted to, and that she’d dedicated her life to.

Erika turned to the Cult of Forgotten Shadow, Worshipping The balance of both the Light and Shadow- though leaning very heavily towards the shadow. She no longer preaches, though she does use her knowledge of Holy magic to heal Forsaken who have injured themselves- as painful as the Light is for both the caster and the receiver. She suffers nobly however, and turns away no ally of the Forsaken should they need her assistance. She spends her times at inns and on the roads, helping the Forsaken war machine however she can on rear lines.
