Intro: Erica Redd
This is Erica Redd, older sister of Brian and younger sister of Ben. She is a 10th grader in Brom, her favorite subject is History of Magic, she wants to be a journalist when she grows up and she has a slight obsession with nail polish.
Last summer, she went through the rather sensation trial of her father, and was quite a bit more subdued when she returned to school this year, and rather aloof and standoffish to those who aren't close friends or Brian. She's not as close to Ben, since she gets the distinct feeling that her older brother thinks of her as a burden, and she has something of an inferiority complex. Redds tend to be Cranes, after all, and she's not. She's also terrible at Potions and Herbology, and thinks of this subconsciously as more proof that their father was right to think of her as worth less than her brothers.
With all that cheerful stuff aside...Erica is nice, if somewhat quiet, and a little bit tomboyish. She's ace at magical languages and history and happy to tutor, and bisexual - though she's never actually done anything.
She needs friends! And crushes! And people she saves from bad grades in HoM!
