Shiratori Eren

Shiratori Eren (白鳥エレン) is one of the secondary characters in The Daichis - Earth's Defense Family. She oversees the progress of the Daichi family's performance which she reports to her superiors, and plays as partially as the monologue for an alien's outside perspective of what the humans are doing. She is also Dai's transfer classmate in Class 3-2, however Ejima did not make any announcement that there was a new transfer student.

## Appearance

In her smaller form, she appears to be around the same age as Dai while also being slightly taller than him. She has red eyes, green hair which has a large yellow ribbon tied on the back of her head to form a ponytail that extends halfway to her back. She wears a purple dress, a pink jacket with cuffs on the sleeves and a red rope knot around her chest. She uses a red backpack when she goes to school. Her left sock is about twice as long as her right sock, which puts an emphasis on her true form. She has brown boots with small red bows on the front top half.

## Relationships

### Daichi Dai

On their first encounter, she surprised Dai by dodging his skirt flip and had a smile for whatever reason. The next time they meet, she inserts fake memories into Dai after he was so freaked out since she knew his name without formally introducing himself to her. On several occasions she grabs some of the objects that Dai used for whatever reason, weather its the two water Buckets in the first episode, his biker helmet that fell off in the fifth episode (later seen in use when Eren is trying to prevent Hayakawa from taking a picture of Seiko's Earth Defender form), the Pokemarus in the eighth episode, and the flower ring that Dai intended to give to Seiko.
She also has concern for Dai, one of the reasons has to do with Dai's complicated family life which is something Eren sees while checking the Daichi family's progress on their missions. While she initially sent Hen away from Earth in the 4th episode, she didn't do this when she encounter Hen for the 2nd time in episode 12. In episode 13, she entrusts Dai to grab some flowers from the flower plant that gave her a fever from the pollen that Dai launched a Big Bang Crusher on in the previous episode in order for her to kill the poison.

## Abilities

* Eren summoning her wand.

1/2
* Inserting "fake memories" into certain people, Dai does not remember Eren as a student in the school prior to her entering the classroom.
* Aging or shrinking - Eren can age herself down to disguise herself as what appears to be a little girl.
* Wand - Eren uses this to send Hen back to try to send him back to his home by placing him in a bubble similar to Mamoru's Balloon capture. The 2nd time she used it was so she can use her ship in Episode 13 in order to create a cure for her against the toxins she absorbed from that the flower in Episode 12 but she dropped it due to Dai's interference.
* Cat transformation - In episodes 5 she uses a cat transformation to oversee the Daichi family in their training while in episode 6 she uses this form to hide Seiko's identity when Hayakawa was about to take a photo of her Earth Defender form.
* Butterfly - In episode 12, she saves Dai from being destroyed with the missile by flying in a flash of light towards him. In episode 13, it is revealed to be her true form.
* She seems to know some things of some alien's natural diet and habitat. In episode 13, it is hinted that her medical knowledge is well advanced.
