* Erika
* Anime

**Erika Kaijima** (貝島 えりか, *Kaijima Erika*?) was a minor antagonist in Mahou Shoujo Site.

## Appearance

Erika was a fair-skinned girl with shoulder-length dark-blonde hair that is tied in a lateral ponytail with a Pink Scrunchy (Orange In the anime) and her eyes are a mixture of yellow and green.

She was mainly seen In her school uniform, which is a Black Sailor Fuku with the top part being white with black lining along with the sleeves, with a red bow and black skirt With striped socks and brown Uniform-shoes, Though In Chapter One, She can be seen wearing White Uwabaki Shoes with Red Tips.

## Personality

Like Sarina Shizukume and Ai Kawano, Erika was a rude and cruel girl who uses a somewhat bubbly and eccentric tone whenever messing with aya. They felt enjoyment from tormenting Aya Asagiri everyday, and never feeling remorse from how they all had mentally, physically, verbally and emotionally taunted her because of Aya being soft-spoken, timid and meek, while the three of them were able to take advantage of that.

Erika was also implied to be somewhat mentally ill shown when she had decided to hire and watched as a senior named Shota Arai tries to rape Aya, but Aya escaped so she and Shota looked for her, In this scene she was seen to be slightly angered by this due to her plan of shota "Playing" with aya.

Erika was also sadistic as she mocked Aya about the cat that she cared for by saying *"The guts went everywhere."* before throwing the collar to Aya, which triggered Aya to use her Stick and indirectly killing her and Shota, which teleported them to the same train track the cat had died in.

Erika was also a delinquent, which is further proof of this is when one student said "Both of them were delinquents anyway, so aren't they better off dead?" who was often rather pleased that Shota and Erika are dead, due to how both of them were both cruel individuals who did things that contained high levels of Illegality.

## Etymlogy

* The name **Erika** is written in hiragana (えりか), which has no special meaning.
* Erika's surname **Kaijima** means "shell/shellfish" (貝) (**kai**) and "island" (島) (**shima**/**jima**).
	+ In the manga her surname was sometimes mistakenly referred to as **Kajima**.

## Trivia

* In both anime and manga, it is shown that Erika and Shota Arai are the first two people to get used a stick on by Aya Asagiri.
	+ Shota and Erika's deaths were also the first to be seen in the anime and manga.
* Erika, Alice, Melissa, Louise, Ray and May are the only known characters to have first names that aren't Japanese as their first names are common in the American and Europe continent.
	+ Erika is an English and Italian name with Nordic and German origins.
* Judging by her name and the color of her hair, Erika probably was Half-Japanese (by her father's side) and Half-American (by her mother's side).
	+ This is because the Japanese has to have a Japanese parent and a foreign parent to be blond.
* In the Episode 1, some of the students who delighted with the shadow of the accidental death of Erika and Shota and laughed away spreading unfounded rumors such as heart and triangle relations were fun.
* Erika's death was the reason that Sarina Shizukume's hatred for Aya grew, although Sarina's hatred didn't last long. However, her death was also one of the reasons why Sarina became a Magical Girl.
* Erika's parents have never been seen or mentioned, but they will surely have been devastated by their daughter's death.
	+ It is implied that the Kaijima spouses were not acquainted of their daughter's cruel and sadistic nature.
* Due to the fact that Erika killed a cat, it is implied that if she had never died, she would become a serial killer as an adult.
* In the Chapter 137, it has been shown that due to the fact that Aya has gone back in time by saving the herself of the past to prevent her from becoming a magical girl, she have never used her stick.
	+ Consequently, Erika never discovered Mya and never killed her, and not having been hit by the stick, she never died after being hit by a train with Shota.
	+ It is also possibly implied that she stopped bullying Aya or she was expelled from school for her actions.
