 Wearing a gothic lolita styled spy outfit. Erna also wears a black opaque pantyhose underneath that dress.

## Personality

Erna is by far the least talkative and least social member of Lamplight, not just from the events of Light Novel Volume 1, but as she’s taciturn by nature. She struggled as a spy as her communication skills were sorely lacking.

While she is shy and considers herself antisocial Calling her a total introvert wouldn't be accurate. Her shyness and poor communication skills don't come from a conscious and deliberate dislike of people and social situations, but from her fear and anxiety. According to Erna herself, she is talkative with people she's close to and in group settings and with a bit of effort can talk to strangers. But she struggles when it comes to talking one on one with teammates. Erna is aware of her shyness and taciturn personality and dislikes being patronized about it, but is able to vocalize how her social anxiety effects her when talking to Thea even if she's struggling to get a word out.

Erna desires Big Sister, shown when she calls her superiors 'Big Sis' and is incredibly lonely, as her family died in a mansion fire when she was very young. While other kids grew up with their moms and dads, Erna grew up alone and desires someone to fill the void

According to Erna’s Psychiatrist, Erna believes that her survival from the mansion fire was unfair, and unconsciously tries to seek out punishment to regulate her own emotions. Its where her subconscious lure to accidents come from and why she threw herself into the world on spycraft. All because of her feelings of self hatred and desire for atonement from her family burning in the mansion fire. Her happiness is unfair, why does she get live and be happy while her brother and sister burned alive in that fire? While she’s not suicidal, she feels intense survivors guilt and has been a prisoner to that guilt for years.

### Prior to Joining Lamplight

Ever since childhood, Erna’s attracted bad luck . She was born into an aristocratic family and lost her parents in a tragic mansion fire. Since the loss, Erna’s been plagued with misfortune at an alarming rate. After so many close brushes with misfortune, Erna developed a sense for bad luck which she states holds a certain smell.

When Erna attended her spy academy with Annette, and It's said she threw herself into the dangerous line of work because of her appending guilt and predisposition to unluckiness.

Erna arrived late at the Heat Haze Palace after running into a series of accidents.

## Skills

### Accident Premonition

While Erna isn’t sure how her sense works, Erna can predict misfortune before it occurs, which she claims comes from it’s distinctive smell. She developed this ability after her parents died in a mansion fire.

Her Psychiatrist diagnosed her with what they called a pre-disposition for unluckiness. They believed that her ability to sense luck comes from her desire for punishment and trauma from the mansion fire.

## Relationships

### Klaus

When they first met in Volume 1, the two could hardly converse. After the mission, Klaus is one of the only people Erna can "talk to"

### Thea

### Sara

Sara is one of the only people Erna can talk to one on one and holds an admiration for her, calling her 'Big Sis Sara'  as she always sticks by her side.

### Annette

Both Erna and Annette have a friend/enemy type relationship. Erna is often at the receiving end of Annette's excessive teasing and pranks, regardless of how much Erna begs her to stop.

The two went to the same spy academy and have known each other for longer than any of the other girls in Lamplight. During Light Novel volume 3 when Annette was faced with the choice of leaving Lamplight to stay with Matilda or turn Matilda in, Erna stated that she hated Annette because of her bullying and didn't consider Matilda to be a good mother or in the least bit reliable. But Erna would have accepted Annette's decision if that was what she really wanted.

In Chapter 4 Volume 3 Erna wants Annette to stop with her bullying, and if she can do that, then Erna can start being Annette's friend.

### Matilda

Erna did not consider Matilda to be in the least bit trustworthy or suited to be a mother and would not have been ok with Annette leaving Lamplight for her, but wouldn't have interfered if that was what she chose to do.
