* OlderThanSheLooks: Implied. Her middle schooler's physique goes commented upon, but Genji claims she's around Jessica's age, and her backstory suggests she lived with a boyfriend. Ambiguous commentary from Bernkastel also teases the possibility that Erika's appearance was altered to more closely resemble her master on the game board.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Even when she's forfeited the power of the Detective's Authority and can't compell the Ushiromiyas to let her investigate and command them as she pleases, she can still take control of the situation by gently suggesting ideas and tricking them into letting her run around the island unsupervised. The narration says that the Detective's Authority is a formality that boosts her effectiveness from 99% to 100%, but it's that one percent that she lacks that leaves her unable to create vital Red Truths and puts her at a crippling disadvantage. And Erika gets around this disadvantage by [[spoiler:creating Red Truths as a murderer, instead.]]



* SoreLoser: She's not Bern's piece for nothing…

Added DiffLines:

* BlasphemousBoast: Claims that, just like Lambdadelta and Bernkastel, she was trapped in a personal hell that she could only escape from by being able to withstand the truth, no matter how cruel. From all that we know of Erika, this "truth" that she had to endure was most likely her boyfriend cheating on her and cruelly rejecting her when she confronted him about it. When Erika insinuates that she has an EnlightenmentSuperpower that Lambdadelta and Bernkastel lack, Lambda flashes her a DeathGlare and tells Erika that she's only letting it slide as a congradulatory present for [[spoiler:trapping Battler in a logic error.]]

* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: Her speech patterns are extremely formal, highlighting her sophisticated behavior.



* IgnoredEpiphany: She seems to have a HeelRealization over how awful she's been as she faces a horrible fate, only to willfully double down on being awful when [[spoiler: she's resurrected in [=EP8=]]].



* {{Jerkass}}: She cares about three things: solving mysteries, being smug about solving mysteries, and serving her beloved master. Other people aren't on her priority list.
** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Seems to have a HeelRealization over how awful she's been as she faces a horrible fate [[spoiler: only to willfully double down on being awful when she's resurrected in [=EP8=].]]

by exposing terrible truths about them.



* WellDoneDaughterGirl: She's desperate for her mother/master's approval and tries her best to live up to her expectations. While it's somewhat justified because Erika knows very well that her mother won't hesitate to throw her into oblivion if she fails her, she gets a little too happy in the rare occasions where she does get her master's praise.

* CrazyPrepared: The tape seals, and the way she got them all placed. Note that the drawing on the seals is incredibly complex and it should take an insane amount of time to prepare so many. Not for Erika, it seems.

* CrazyPrepared: The Despite nearly drowning in a stormy ocean before washing up on Rokkenjima, Erika is focused enough to stick pieces of duct tape seals, with her signiture on several doors and the way windows, even if she got them all placed. Note that the drawing has to climb around on the seals is incredibly complex and it should take an insane amount walls outside in the middle of time a storm to prepare place them. Then instead of going to bed like a normal person, she stays up ''all night long'' with her ear pressed to the wall so many. Not for Erika, it seems.she can listen to the sounds of Battler's breathing in the next room over. She does this ''just in case a crime happens'' during her stay.


Added DiffLines:

** After pinning the murders on Natsuhi in Episode 5, Erika uses the Detective's Authority to investigate the entire island for proof of Kinzo's existence, but specifically refuses to investigate Natsuhi's bed. She does this so she can accuse Natsuhi of not only murdering several people including her own husband and daughter, but also having a secret affair with Kinzo too.


Added DiffLines:

** In Episode 5, Erika pushes forward with a culprit theory that names Kinzo as an accomplice, despite being fully aware that he's DeadAllAlong. She's relying on Knox's 2nd, which demands that all Red Truths, including Kinzo's death, have evidence to back them up, and it backfires when [[spoiler:Battler declares Kinzo's death using the Gold Truth instead.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ObviousRulePatch: After Erika dominates Episode 5 with her duct tape seals, Episode 6 has Rokkenjima modified so all the duct tape on the island has lost its stickiness, and Erika's bedroom location has been changed so she can't [[spoiler:hear the cousins' room through the walls.]]

* KansaiRegionalDialect: PlayedForLaughs. Beatrice (read: Ryuukishi 07) hadn't yet defined his personality or speech patterns when ''Land'' was scrapped, so she improvises this trait. Bernkastel quickly finds it annoying and rewrites him as a polite gentleman instead.
