Erica is a small girl, standing four feet, eleven inches tall and weighing in at a mere eighty-three pounds. Her light blonde hair, with the exception of her bangs, has never been cut, so it flows down to just below her knees, and she typically wears headbands, though more for the look than for keeping her hair away from her clear blue eyes and small facial features.

When alone, Erica often looks as though she is worried about something, but her face really lights up when she is among friends or having a good time. You can almost always tell what kind of mood she is in by her clear and expressive countenance.

Erica typically sticks to the usual Ouran Academy garb while in class, but outside of school she can be found wearing other school-like attire, likely uniforms from the many other schools she has been to.

Erica has been classified as the "cute type" for Hostess purposes, but most people will describe her as "scatterbrained" due to her forgetful and almost air-headed nature. If you see her wandering around the school hallways with a worried expression, it is likely that she has lost something, but occasionally she will just be deep in thought. No matter where Erica goes, she usually ends up leaving something of hers behind, from pencils to shoes and anything in between.

While she can appear somber or concerned when she is alone, Erica lights up when she is in the presence of others, and really enjoys conversation, which is what makes her a Hostess aside from her petite physical appeal. Despite her oblivious and unorganized nature, Erica knows how to make sure that everyone around her is comfortable and having a good time.

Erica shows a strong interest in literature and animals, and currently aspires to be an animal trainer. She has an obedient and talented teacup Yorkshire terrier named Schnitzel, which she has trained herself.

Erica was born in Frankfurt, Germany to the mistress of a German ambassador. Her mother died during childbirth, leaving her to the care of her father. The ambassador's parents, upset at the illegitimate child that he had fathered, did what they could to cover up the scandal, but the ambassador refused to allow them to take his daughter away from him. He took his newborn child to Japan, where he was stationed, and raised her with care.

Erica became multi-lingual from a young age, learning German, French, English, and Japanese. She received education from the finest tutors even before she began school, which allowed her to skip a grade. She is bright when it comes to academics, though most wouldn't think so due to her scatterbrained persona.
