Erica is Godot's adopted daughter and lived with him in his mountain cabin until his death.
Appearance
Erica is the height of an average child with light-brown hair that she wears in a bun and dark green eyes. She wears a very simple white dress with a red shoulder coat over the top with two little pom-poms in the middle. Over her hair, she wears a traditional bun cover to protect her bun from coming undone.
Personality
Erica is a bright, curious girl, who takes a liking to Guts despite his rough personality. After the course of the Eclipse, she helps take care of Casca, showing a rather mature side despite her young age.
Story
Early Years
Early in her life, Erica becomes an orphan in a war. The grizzled blacksmith named Godot takes pity on the girl and adopts her as his own daughter; the two quickly form a strong bond over the years, living together in Godot's hut during his retirement.
Golden Age Arc
After the horrific events of the Eclipse, Erica finds both Guts and Casca in the nearby woods. She nurses Guts back to health while he's unconscious, while quickly making friends with the now child-like Casca. Erica becomes extremely protective of Casca, shielding her from Guts in his confusion and explains to him that her mind is now gone. After recovering and obtaining the Dragon Slayer from Godot, Guts sets out on a mission to try to exterminate the Apostles.
Conviction Arc
During that period, Erica watches over Casca while Rickert serves as a blacksmith's apprentice under her father. While taking Casca to pick berries with her one day, Casca wanders off and is lost. Erica blames herself for this, and both her and Rickert search endlessly to no avail. Many months later, while collecting firewood, Erica discovers Puck, who she mistakes for a goblin. She gleefully grabs it and runs to Rickert to show it, only to discover that Guts has returned. Erica thus brings Guts back to Godot's hut, while Rickert explains what occurred with Casca. After having his gear outfitted and his sword re-forged, Guts bids farewell to Erica and Godot.
