Erika Tod

Erika Tod was a character and minor antagonist in QIA.
==Biography==
=== Powers ===
Erika has a unique ability of being able to influence people's minds after touching them physically, though this only seems to work if the suggestion made to her victims is something they already felt to some degree ("Eleven", "Thursday").
===Düsseldorf===
Erika, masquerading as psychotherapist Doctor Weiss, used her powers to make Doctor Sophia Lukas call in sick on the 14th March 2023 so that she could see all of Lukas' clients that day. She used this opportunity to influence most of them to commit suicide; her first victim, Jürgen Lindemann, stepped out in front of a fast-moving tram, causing a Code 11 quantum infraction. 
Erika was eventually identified and pursued by Sarah Cunnington, Carlos Sánchez and Zoey Hallett, but although she was captured and arrested, she had already managed to influence Carlos, persuading him to kill Sarah - something he had already been considering with Claudia Horne. ("Eleven")
===Attack on the London Hub===
During her transportation to a Void facility, Erika was able to use her powers to convince her captors to let her go ("Iulya"). She next convinced Cameron Campbell to give her full access to the Eye Interface in the London Hub, and attempted to use this access to destroy the Eye and cause all captured quantum terrorists currently in the Void to be released. (In an alternate timeline, she succeeded). However, Erika was identified by Sarah and stopped, and she was once again arrested. Seeing this as an opportunity to close the matter on the 'Plague Doctor' murder of Alicia Karalis, Enora Gallou told John Turner that Erika was the Plague Doctor, and she was arrested by the Metropolitan Police. 
=== Revenge ===
Unfortunately, Erika once again used her powers to gain her freedom, but this time she went after the team, who were celebrating their victory at Tom Burt's house. After forcing Anthony Burt to wet himself, she then ordered Andrew Wesker to strip naked for her own entertainment, but when Wesker attempted to apprehend her, she shot and killed him. Furious and distraught, Tasneem Hafiz then shot Erika in retaliation, killing her. ("Thursday")
=== Legacy ===
Following her death, there was some temporary public sympathy, but thanks to a secret smear campaign orchestrated by Enora Gallou, this did not last long ("York").
Hafiz later realised that Erika's powers only affected those who had already been feeling or thinking about her suggestions, and concluded from this that Carlos must wish Sarah harm, as he had willingly tried to kill her. ("York")
