Description
Erika is a member of the Hudie hacker team. She and her big brother have been alone since they lost their parents in a car accident several years ago. Extremely shy, she spends so much time shut away at the net cafe where Hudie is based that most people call it "Erika's room". Since she suffered a serious head injury in the accident that killed her parents, her mind has been linked to a special server on the EDEN network to reduce the load on her brain. As a side effect, she now possesses genius hacking abilities. The disease causes her brain to rapidly process more information than it normally should and she has been in and out of the hospital because of this. Erika is described as a tsundere by her brother and Chitose and gets annoyed at Chitose saying that she is "not feminine", but her behavior changes after Keisuke joined their team.

Ryuji's love for his sister often sees people make fun of him, saying he has a sister complex. This even includes Erika herself, who takes advantage of this to get anything she wants, usually expensive computer parts.
