Erika Callisto is a minor character in *Ovine Replica: Serenity in Flesh*, a character in *Ursine Science: Misanthropic Principle*, and the younger sister of Melanie Callisto.

## Profile

*She was an eccentric woman, certainly quirkier than her sister. That may be what I need now to get me out of the bitter funk I feel.* — Ecout Kanovos, Chapter 6

*A friendly bartender who prefers to keep her background private if she can help it. Koraki can only wonder just how this odd woman promises to use her knowledge and aid Koraki in her quest.* — The official Twitter account

## Appearance

Erika is a tall woman with long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears a white dress with green on the neck, sleeves and frills around the hem, along with golden bracelets on her wrists.

When Erika transcends to a bear form, she retains her blue eyes and her blonde hair in the form of blonde fur.

## Personality

Erika is a kind person, treating Otis to some tiramisu to give him a break from his diet of human bodies. She is smart, studying the functions of the Device. She has a strict side to herself, immediately calling Ecout a "rat" for being a MOTH soldier and refusing to cooperate with Melanie and be taken advantage of by her.

## Plot

### Retaliation

In Chapter 4 of *Ovine Replica*, Erika shows up at the WASP headquarters. After Otis introduces Ecout to her and vouches for his good intentions despite being a MOTH soldier, Erika introduces herself to Ecout. Otis, Erika, Ecout, and Melanie all make their way to the basement of the headquarters. Erika opens a golden pocket-watch to reveal blue and gold gears spinning in mid-air. It is revealed to be the stolen Device and Erika begins to explain the alteration of science to Ecout. Erika uses the Device to teleport a MOTH soldier's corpse to the basement, providing Otis with fuel. Carol Kanovos enters the basement to alert the four about incoming MOTH soldiers but stops due to the shock of witnessing Otis eating a corpse. Letat Saiskaya, king of Enonoia, arrives, having found the location of the WASP headquarters with the help of Louise Alkaev. MOTH soldiers enter the basement and Letat orders them to seize Ecout and Carol. Melanie moves towards Letat while brandishing her sword but he slips by and steals the Device from Erika. Letat messes with the Device before activating it on Otis. Erika tackles Letat, causing the Device to target Erika instead. Erika transcends into a bear merged with the Device itself, granting her the power to alter science. Letat orders a full retreat but Erika teleports away all the soldiers along with her.

### Cycle

In Chapter 5, Erika, in her bear form known as Ursine Science, chats with Melanie and Ecout about the current situation regarding the MOTH and the Device. Erika explains how the MOTH have dismissed the criminal charges of the Berserk, Ecout, and Otis so that the MOTH can focus their efforts on seizing Ursine Science. Erika teleports away.

### Replica

In Chapter 6, Erika is pursued by the entirety of the MOTH filling the streets.

In the normal "Spare Enonoia" option, Ecout kills Louise, allowing for Otis to have fuel and grant Ecout's wish of turning Erika back to normal. Later, Otis kills Erika.

In the hidden "Abandon Enonoia" option, Erika is not turned back into a human and Otis kills her in her bear form.

### Ovine Archetype

In Ovine Archetype, Erika is not turned back into a human by Otis.

There is a flashback of Otis's time with Melanie before he was in prison. One day, Erika shows up to talk with Melanie about the Device, and Erika decides to give Otis a break from eating bodies by bringing him to the Peacemaker to eat tiramisu. Otis returns to Melanie and continues to eat more corpses before eventually being captured by the MOTH.

Back in the present, in the ending, Erika's dead human body is shown being carried by Arkuma. Ecout passes out from exhaustion and Arkuma carries his body out of the Enonoia palace, leaving "one of the finest warriors in Enonoia" to carry Erika's body.

### Ursine Science: Misanthropic Principle

In *Ursine Science*, Koraki Mavrosa visits the Peacemaker, and Erika, as the bartender, offers a welcome but is ignored by Koraki.
