As of 2021, she is the captain and defense specialist of the team, after Ami Daishō (the previous captain) died in a car accident while on her way to Tokyo`s main hospital in an ambulance. She is the younger sister of Kaname Moniwa and the second-oldest first cousin of Shima Moniwa. As of 2067, she has passed in her sleep and remains one of the central figures of the Golden Generation.

## History

### Early life

    Erina was born at a unspecified time, presumably three months after her older brother; she was the youngest child and only daughter of the wealthy and highly influential Moniwa Family. Born blind, her father despised her disability, as he believed that it damaged the image of the Moniwa Family, all of whom possessed no disabilities; her mother was more accepting of her daughter`s disability. Despite that, Erina was highly capable of maneuvering around, even at a young age; using something akin to a "six-sense" to navigate her way in the environment around her. Having adapted to such an environment, her father was delighted when she was revealed to be a "late-bloomer", after opening her eyes to reveal the crystal-blue orbs that would lead her father to adore and spoil her rotten. Her older first-cousins thought that she was "odd" but generally a good child, so they often taught her advanced things, things that a child shouldn`t even have the capacity to learn yet, yet she learned and understood them all to the extent of a highly-trained adult.

### Spring Months

During the spring months, she often vacationed with her maternal grandparents; who greatly despised her father (a Government Official) and thus refused to let him come along with the rest of the family. Her father as her maternal grandparents called him was a "person of less than desirable potential" and he was often called "sleazy" on more than one occasion while she was in their company. Though she understood little about the conflict that had been raging on between her maternal grandparents and her paternal grandparents as well as her parents; Erina suspected (to some extent) that her father had been having affairs. That further damaged his credibility in the eyes of Erina`s first-cousins, her maternal grandparents, Erina herself, and her older brother.

### Legacy

League teammate was placed in a niche slightly above the floor located inside the main entrance to the team`s respective facilities. Several statues of Erina and her former High School teammates were also placed around the school; through one of her granddaughters, she was the grandmother-in-law to Shimousa Moniwa, an acclaimed songwriter and poet.
