[b]Age:[/b] 14

[b]Personality[/b]: Erika is a nice person, one of those warm people who is always glad to lend a hand. She firmly believes that it is magical girls who deserve to rule, but also believes that they have a duty to protect, not exploit. As such she will fight for her principles, and even stand against her peers if she has to, though she has managed to avoid such situations. Otherwise she is a fun loving girl, who enjoys hanging out with her friends, and simply living life. Her greatest devotion is her little sister though, whom she cares for and stands as a role model. 

[b]Background[/b]: Orphaned at a young age, Erika and her sister grew up as charity cases together, forging a strong bond between the two of them. It was when Erika manifested her powers though that life really began to look up. They were able to get a home, her sister could attend a better school, and since then Erika has focused on faithfully serving the Order so that that better life for her sister could be maintained. Compared to what the two of them had before, it's worth it. Meanwhile, she tries her best to hold to a normal life, if only to avoid becoming too isolated. 
[b]
Faction[/b]: Order of the Holy Flower

[b]Magical Weapon[/b]: Erika wields dual cavalry sabres, both of which can be imbued with magical energy to increase their damage and power. Oh, and magic steel means that it's ridiculously hard to break them. 

[b]Magical Incantation[/b]: 
[i]Wave Slash[/i] - A relatively easy spell that allows her to release a wave of energy with a sword slash. It will move in a forward direction and slice through anything in it's path, before fading away. 

[i]Flicker[/i] - An illusion spell that causes her to leave' afterimages' insubstantial copies of herself that can precede or follow behind her movements, making it difficult for the enemy to predict where she is exactly and what she will do next. 

[b]Full Bloom[/b]: When her Full Bloom is triggered, two additional copies of Erika are created, each of them acting autonomously, and each with their own weapons and mana pool. They will fight together until the Bloom expires, or until the immediate foe is defeated, at which point they fade away, leaving Erika alone again.  

Other things: She has a little sister named Genevieve. Her fairy takes the force of a double headed eagle.
