Background

Born and raised in Hungary, Erika was the apple of her parent's eyes. Part of the lower of the High class in social rank, she did not ever want for much. What she wanted she almost always got, whether it be given to her freely or she managed to wheedle it out of someone. Her father was the owner of a textile company, making ladies' dresses and men's suits, he was the forerunner of all fashion in Hungary. Erika's mother worked at his side, making sure they stayed put on the social ladder with her charms and finesse if not climbing it.

It was her mother that taught Erika her prestige, the way of life in the social circus. Erika was a born lady, and she would make sure that all knew it who met her. Even at a very young age, little Erika held her head high and walk with a supreme air surrounding her. It was her father that taught her that even though social classes made people unequal in power, people were very much alike in basic needs and wants. Balancing her humanity and her honor, Erika never turned away a needing hand, but did not go out of her way to dirty herself either.

At the age of 16 she was to be married to the son of a merchant. Well to do, but not as well to do as Erika liked. He had to work for a living, gone long hours during the day, leaving Erika to herself. While being courted by the merchant, Erika took it on her own to climb the social ladder a bit more. Soon a few more offers for her hand succumbed to her beauty and prestige. On the night of a ball, a birthday present to her from her parents, at her own house, tragedy struck.

The house was attacked, howls sounded from everywhere at once, at the bidding of her father Erika ran. Outside she stumbled, her foot caught in the root of a large tree. Struggling to get free she saw a beast come upon her, then a sword came through it's heart, then beheaded it. Laying eyes upon her savior, a man of fair skin and regal handsomeness, she promptly fainted.

Awakening in a room not of her own, Erika was overcome with sickness. Her pallor was paler than usual, she thirsted for the oddest taste...blood. It was then that her savior walked through the door, and he told her what he had made her, he had saved her in more ways than one, but her family was dead.

Overcome with grief, Erika took weeks to recover tow here she could show her face. Upon leaving the room, finally, she was met with a coven, and then began her social climb up this ladder. Soon she was one of the highest in the coven, fighting tooth and nail, being haughty and giving at the same time. She learned to do nothing for others, just for herself if she wanted to keep anything in her long life in the dark. Her savior died in her arms, one night of another attack from the beasts, the abhorred lycans, she set her infatuations upon Kraven, the savior of the vampire world. He would become hers, no matter his supposed love for Selene.

Personality

Erika is stubborn to a fault. Strong willed and adaptable throughout the many ages she has lived, she feels she is a queen in her own right. Able to get things on her own, take care of herself in this day and age, she is able to hold her had high with honor. She is a woman of means, smiles, flirtations, and quite friendly once past her haughty bearing. Being a vampire she does not need much, but much can harm her which makes her very careful with her body and mind. She is protective by nature, more for herself and those she calls friends and family.

Curiosity is what gets her every time. She will poke and prod at anything, or anyone. She loves learning about people, especially if they pass her 'interesting or not' test. She watches people, and slowly worms her way into their hearts or tries to, if they do not seem interested then she might make their life a living hell. Just because she can mind you.

Appearance

Curling blond hair reaches just past her shoulders. She likes wearing it back away from her face in odd but tasteful ways. Her eyes are a bright gray-blue naturally, when feeling threatened, healing, or using any of her vampiric powers her eyes turn into a brighter blue. Her skin is pale but very healthy. Her nails and toenails are well taken care of and are usually a tad long.

Her clothing ranges from blacks, to darker hues of purple and blue, sometimes she will wear pink as it is said to be the new black. She likes lace, leather, silks and satins and is often seen wearing such. On an everyday basis she wears pants and tops that show off her best assets. For parties and the like she wears elegant dresses designed and made by herself.

Likes & Dislikes

Erika has a fascination with clothing, especially soft cloth or elegant looking items. She also has a fascination with heroes, powerful men, and men that might have the ability to take care of her, sweep her off her feet and be her knight in shining armor. Silks, satins and lace are the best things in the world to her. As well as raspberry tea, bubble baths, snooping, secrets, odd colored eyes, smiles, parties and rice dishes.

She hates women who get in her way and are simpering princesses without anything to back up with pampering. Women who don't help themselves or work for what they want, men who pay her no attention, strong ugly smells, unnecessary killing, rap music, screeching, sunlight, and fish.

I am not Sophia Myles. I did not make the character Erika from Underworld. Sophia belongs to herself and I imagine a well paid agent, and Erika belongs to the creators of Underworld. I do not in any fashion want to claim that I own either of them. This is a character journal, for fun.

Most of the icons are made by me, but come from pictures on Absolutely Sophia Myles The icons that are not made by me are credited in the comments section, if I do not know who to credit there will be a question mark. If you know the maker, I will gladly give credit where credit is due.
