Erika Byakko

Erika is a white tiger warrior and master of the Byakko guild. She searches far and wide for strong opponents to battle. When not adventuring, she hangs out at the guild, avoiding paperwork and randomly pulling guild members aside for combat training.

Erika is humble and kind, soft-spoken yet energetic, and takes pride in being a "seiso" streamer. She has a deep passion for gaming and is easily excitable while playing or discussing them. When she gets excited, she is prone to making cute noises and using a particular verbal tic: "yeyeyeyeye".

She has short silvery hair with black and blonde streaks and tiger ears. Her eyes are heterochromatic with blue and yellow. She has a black collar with gold pawprint in the center with a blue triangular charm attached. She has markings on her skin similar to tiger stripes, including on her left cheek, and also has a tail.
