Lets Get More Personal

Dislikes: - Foolish heroism - Catty girls - Weaklings - Rules and regulations - Disrespect of any kind - Her mortal blood - Losing control - Cutesy stuff - People with no backbone - Too much peace and harmony
Personality: Friendly: Erika is a friendly enough girl and pretty easy to get along with as long as you don’t royally piss her off. She likes to tease people and laughs when people jeer at her, since it’s all in good fun. She’ll be mildly sarcastic around people and offer some advice here and there if people need it. She’s good-natured around new people.
Playful: She enjoys having fun with the local boys. She doesn’t dress incredibly provocatively, but enough that it’s considered a tease. She likes the spotlight and relishes in being the center of attention which she often gets.
Classy: Erika has fashion sense and takes pride in looking her best at whatever she is doing. She isn’t incredibly vain, but she doesn’t fuss over every little detail. She knows she’ll always look good any time, any day so she doesn’t try as hard.
Outspoken: She always has a perspective on things and isn’t afraid to make it known. If she finds something immoral or wrong, she will tell it to your face, regardless of repercussions. She hates timidity, knowing that you will get walked over if you don’t speak out. She understands people’s opinions but tends to believe that what she says is best. Fearless and Ambitious: Erika is not afraid of anything. Inherited from her mother, she will jump into any situation, unarmed if she has too. Whatever she wants, she will work hard at and do everything in her power to obtain it.
Ruthless: Erika isn’t all that sweet as she makes out to be. In a social gathering, she can be quite witty and pleasant, but in battle she is your worst nightmare. The child of a war goddess will never be merciful in that regard.
History: Vincent Fang grew up in a family of many races of Asians. His parents moved to America to make a better life for themselves. They settled in Los Angeles, California and raised Vincent up in a decent lifestyle.
He grew up into an smart, proud, honorable man who joined the US military and through hard work and perseverance, became the General of the Army. He met Enyo, the beautiful and fierce Fleet Admiral for the US Navy that had visited the military base one day, and hit it off after a game of wits. She was quite surprised that he was genuinely pleased that there was a female leader in the navy and grew rather fond of him and vice versa. They courted for some time before Enyo just disappeared, without a note or a farewell to Vincent.
Devastated, he worked his troops long and hard in hopes of forgetting Enyo. He was sent off on a mission but never returned. A few months passed, but there wasn’t a day when Vincent’s family didn’t mourn for him. One day, when Vincent’s parents were going out for their routine walk, they saw a baby girl in a silver cradle with a note attached at their doorstep. The note relayed all the information about who Vincent’s lover was; Enyo, the Goddess of War and that it was imperative to send her daughter to a special school to harness her powers when she came of age. Rather than be joyous of having a grandchild, they were disgusted when they beheld the daughter of the very woman who took their son away. They brought the baby to an orphanage and left, never to be seen again.
The girl was named Erika by the caretakers. Erika grew up a rather nice child, diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, but had a tendency to get into trouble in the most unusual ways. Said trouble would be disguised monsters trying to hunt her down but strangely enough, Erika would always know how to handle herself despite her age. It wasn’t until she was 12 or so, when Enyo visited her daughter in a dream, explaining the whole truth about her parentage, who she was, and what steps to take to ensure her safety. She awoke to find a shining, glowing swan above her, indicating that she had just been claimed by the War Goddess.
Feeling that she could have a better life than what she currently had, Erika heeded her mother’s words and ran away from the orphanage, gave herself anew surname, and made her way over to her new home, Half-Blood Academy.
Abilities: - Granted, being a daughter of a war goddess doesn’t exactly grant one supernatural powers. However, Erika can pretty much handle herself in any battle situation. What she lacks in powers, she makes up for in brute strength. She knows her way around any weapon or can and use anything as a weapon both ancient and modern, but is also a great hand-to-hand fighter.
- Incredibly fit and cut, she excels in martial arts, sports, and gymnastics and can beat nearly anyone when it comes to anything physical or demanding, even if she’s never tried it before.
- She is a natural strategist, and can find loopholes and solutions to many situations that would be deemed impossible.
- Erika can take control/tame any one animal to use to her whim to take into battle, excluding her hawk.
- Like her mother, she can cause much destruction if she wanted to or was ever pushed over that edge. Her greatest and most uncanny ability would be to call forth any of the fearful phenomena and effects of war and personify it into shadow creatures but only for a limited time.
Weaknesses: - Erika may be no slouch when it comes to charm and seduction, but she’s a sucker for a guy with a killer body and confident personality that can match her own. She may seem calm and composed but in reality, she is at the mercy of such men.
- She is incredibly vengeful if you anger her. She lets her emotions get the best of her, which tends to get her into trouble sometimes, and won’t be kind in letting you go after you had infuriated her.
- She has trouble forgiving someone who had hurt her. Grudges are what she is best at.
- Always trying to better herself, she won’t accept when she has lost especially in battle. She’ll make up an excuse to cover her shame and aggravation.
- Loyalty is something she is lacking, even for the few friends she may have. She has trouble giving herself to others, the feeling that she is never truly accepted already hard set into her mind. In truth, she is a bit of a loner and her loyalties lie only to herself.
Other Information: * Enyo gave her daughter a white hawk, Gawain as a hunting companion for Erika. * She also gave her a swan brooch that morphs into a celestial bronze and silver blade.
