Erika Lee

Erika Lee (not to be confused with Erica Smith mentioned in the episode "The Hobbit") is an original character created by Poofypants.
==Appearance==
Erika has light skin, a black ponytail, and brown eyes. In her casual clothes, she wears a red shirt with a denim jacket, jeans, and black shoes (South Park style) or red sneakers (anime style).
From Chapters 1-3, she wears a white blouse, gray pants, white stockings, red boots, and a black coat reaching her knees as amagical girl. When transformed, her Soul Gem can be seen as a four-pointed star with a red gem inside. Her weapon is a scythe with a pointed blade at the end of the handle like a spear. Another weapon she uses is a blade on a handle followed by a crimson chain which she can use to hold enemies in place or for other purposes.
As of Chapter 4, she continues to wear a white blouse as a magical girl. Her Soul Gem also remains the same but is in the middle of the blouse between the top button and the middle button where the button between it is unbuttoned and the blouse is open to be able to see the Soul Gem. However, her black coat no longer has sleeves. She has a skirt with two belt bucklesover the left hand side of the skirt. If you were to push the right-hand side of the coat and lift up the flap of the blouse, you could see a crimson chain hanging from a belt hook. Under the skirt, she has white stockings, and red boots similar to the previous design. Her chains (as a weapon) remain the same but her scythe now has the four-pointed star like her Soul Gem which can be used as another blade.
==Abilities==
As a magical girl and after training as one, she gained abilities a normal human may or may not have thanks to a contract she made. These abilities are normal for all magical girls and most can only be used when transformed:
*Summon weaponry. Erika can summon any amount of scythes with her magic but she only sticks to one because it is easier to handle. She can summon chains for multiple purposes against witches but she forgets them at time and it uses up more magic. When she isn't transformed, she can summon either weapon directly out of her Soul Gem (which appears as black with a red glow).
*Henshin/Transform. With her Soul Gem, she can transform into a magical girl and be able to use her abilities.
*Superhuman strength, agility, reaction, and regeneration. After enough training, Erika is able to shut off her sense of pain but she doesn't use it because it will make her sluggish.
*Witch/Familiar detection. This is used to look for their barriers. It can be used even if she isn't transformed.
*Telepathy. It can also be used even if she isn't transformed.
*Healing. This is used for injuries caught during witch battles. Since this is meant to heal Brittany's injuries, it can be assumed it will be weaker if used on herself or anyone other than Brittany. It can also be used even if she isn't transformed.
==Personality==
Unlike her sister, Brittany, she is a nice person and is more open to others making her a role model to Brittany. As her sister, she is willing to protect her and to make sure she doesn't become a magical girl even for a wish. She is smart but she can fall behind sometimes due to her duties as a magical girl and needs help from others to get back up.
Erika can be open to others but when Kenny McCormick and Kyle Broflovski  had attempted to get Brittany to confess over when Erika saved Stan and Kyle in a witch's barrier, she became hostile to the point where they both decided not to make much contact with anybody unless they knew about magical girls or are a magical girl as of Chapter 5 of Immortality. Erika also has a soft side however this could be from having to save others during her magical girl duties.
==Family==
===Brittany (Sister)===
Brittany is Erika's little sister. Unlike Erika, she is shy and isn't a magical girl but she comes with her on witch hunts after school to keep Erika company when she is alone and to play as the trump card to save her life if possible although Erika doesn't know about it. Most of the time, Erika is seen with her sister and is always by her side since they can communicate with telepathy, one of her abilities. Also, Erika is protective of her sister because she doesn't want her to become a magical girl and risk her life fighting.
===Lily (Mom)===
Even though they aren't together as much, they keep a good relationship. Before she became a magical girl, they were often together as a family but because of the contract and technology, they were separated. Although they are distant, they still chat but usually during dinner. Unknown to them, Erika made a wish involving her family. She is normally seen on the computer or watching Asian dramas with Brandon, the father of the family.
===Brandon (Dad)===

Before she became a magical girl. they were often together as a family but because of the contract and technology, they were separated.

==Relationships==
===Hannah Foster===
In the events of Immortality, they are friends and fought against witches. Erika and Brittany first met her at the cafeteria when Hannah sat at their table with them.
In another universe taking place after the events of Immortality where they are all still alive, she, Lyra, and Erika continue to fight witches together as friends.
===Lyra Romero===
Erika and Lyra have never met during the events of Immortality.
In another universe taking place after the events of Immortality where they are still alive, she, Hannah, and Erika continue to fight witches together as friends.
===Kenny McCormick===
Erika and Kenny are seen as acquaintances. In Chapter 2 of Immortality, Kenny as Mysterion along with the rest of the Coon and Friend members attempted to find out who had saved Stan and Kyle from being hurt or killed in a witch's barrier. However, they targeted Brittany instead of Erika and she had taken Brittany's place multiple times making her slightly hostile to them. In Chapter 4, Erika showed hostility towards him until Stan apologized since she forgives him.
After the events of Immortality, they are still acquaintances and they don't interact although Kenny is curious about the magical girl concept.
===Kyle Broflovski===
Erika and Kyle are seen as acquaintances. In Chapter 2 of Immortality, Erika saves Stan and Kyle from familiars in a witch's barrier (due to a witch's kiss on Stan's neck). Shortly after, they tried to get Brittany to spill the beans with three failed attempts due to Erika's hostility. In Chapter 4, Erika continued to hide her magical girl duties until Kyle apologized for tracking her down. At that time, she felt that they shouldn't apologize which can suggest that she does have a soft side and forgives them making it a neutral relationship between them.
After the events of Immortality, they are still acquaintances and they don't interact.
===Stan Marsh===
Since they barely made any contact, they are seen as acquaintances. In Chapter 2 of Immortality, Erika saved Stan and Kyle from familiars in a witch's barrier (due to a witch's kiss on Stan's neck). Shortly after, they had attempted to get Brittany to spill the beans but failed due to Erika's hostility. In Chapter 4, Erika continued to hide her magical girl duties until Kyle had apologized. It is possible that they keep a neutral relationship since she forgives them and they barely made any contact together.
After the events of Immortality, they are still acquaintances and they don't interact.
==Trivia==
*It was her idea to move to South Park because of the murders and suicides she believed witches caused.
*If she were to be invited to Coon and Friends, she would decline their offer (because she is already occupied by her magical girl duties and school) although she would join in the superhero bandwagon but not exactly as a hero or a villain.
*Unlike other OCs who usually have superhero or supervillain identities, Erika is a magical girl who received her powers from a contract where she becomes a magical girl in return for having her wish granted.
*In her first design, she had a scarf and her Soul Gem (when transformed) was hung from a necklace but the scarf was replaced by a chain handing from her pants and her Soul Gem was placed on her chest (or blouse) when Immortality was written.
