**Erika** (エリカ) is a new literature club member in *Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*. She and the unnamed Main Character 2 joined the Literature Club during the Literature Club's cultural festival during *Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*.

***/ WARNING: SPOILERS /***

Previously, she was a temporarily playable side character in *Doki Doki -disBelief- Torture Club* as a regular Belief Club member and before that, she was a member of the Cooking Club until she was banned for blowing up an oven while baking cupcakes.

During *Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*, it is said that Erika, Natsuki, and Sayori know each other. In *Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*, Erika's best friend is Natsuki and they are often lab partners in their science class while Erika had Language Arts class with Sayori.

## Appearance

Erika is an obese African-Japanese high school student with large, spiky orange pigtails tied in red beads and orange eyes. She wears a red headband and is often very happy or overly excited.

## Personality

Erika's personality, in general, is similar to Sayori, being cheerful and naive and both Erika and Act I Sayori have suffered from depression.

Erika is known for being a food-lover and being overjoyed to the point other characters would find her annoying. However, deep down in her heart, Erika, like other Belief Club members, are very depressed and often forces herself to be positive and optimistic. However, it has led her to have bipolar depression, and she sometimes hallucinates. But whenever her friends are around and when she's aware, Erika snaps back into reality and maintains her positivity towards others. Very rarely does Erika take things seriously.

## Poems

Erika wrote a poem after the day she joined the Literature Club titled *We're Free to Eat!*

### *We're Free to Eat!*

We're Free to Eat!

The gods from above gave us a brand new day!

A brand new day to eat and play!

After that ending of a gruesome month, we are now feasting!

The God of Food gave us a buffet!

All you can eat!

No more suffering!

At least in that moment, you can eat your troubles away!

But in reality, they will always stay.

Is this good enough?

## Infected Erika

*Main article: Infected Erika*
Erika becomes the second literature club member to be infected by the Doki Doki Virus. If the first main character has Natsuki as his girlfriend, Infected Yuri is the one to slowly infect Erika in the Literature Club. If the first main character doesn't have Natsuki as his girlfriend, Infected Natsuki is the one to slowly infect Erika in the Literature Club.

As an infected being, Infected Erika's body mutated to a toxic slime-like humanoid figure of her former self, her eyes are gone, and her intelligence and sentience are dropped. While never stated, this may be due to the long-and-slow infection. Infected Erika's body may corrode some things it touches, like fabric and human skin. Her Doki Doki Virus infection is processed faster than Infected Yuri or Infected Natsuki's DDVirus infection.

When Infected, Erika is powered up by the Doki Doki Virus Fever after Main Character 1, Natsuki, and Yuri are cured, Infected Erika (Virus Fever Mode) becomes a giant, toxic, blob monster, five times larger than her standard infected form. She uses acid-based attacks mixed with her blood in this form, her slime-like body can also regenerate. Close-ranged physical attacks are not recommended against Infected (Virus Fever Mode)'s toxic slime body as they will hardly do any damage and her body can corrode or poison melee attackers. Ranged attacks are advised and she is highly vulnerable against Fire-based attacks. Just like Infected Natsuki (Virus Fever Mode), Infected Erika (Virus Fever Mode) is a large target, filled to the tight corridors, making her unable to dodge attacks.

Erika was given the CyberOrange DigiChanger, Model: Heart by President Koji of the Gaming Club as soon as Erika from cured of the Doki Doki Virus to prevent Erika from being re-infected.

### Tokuranger CyberTech II

*Main article: Tokuranger CyberTech*
After the infected Drama Club members reclaimed their "stolen" CyberColor DigiChangers and after Kosei exposed himself to save and help the Literature Club members and cure the infected Drama Club members, while the Drama Club members got their original CyberColor DigiChangers back, the Literature Club members were given new powers that the Drama Club members also previously used.

Erika received the CyberTech DigiChanger, Model: Special device, which will allow her to transform into Tokuranger CyberTech, a special Digiranger class that specializes in **gadgetry** such as creating drones and supporting allies.
