[@PlatinumSkink] Having her just run off on her own wouldn't be too crazy of an idea. Might feel a little bad about leaving Erika behind, but eh. I think I'ma just have her go ahead and head off towards the forest. She'll get a good start ahead of everyone. And then be the annoying guy that shows up later at the most inconvenient of times and challenges you to a rival battle just because she can :D
