Erika CHIBA

I was thinking of leaving a nice comment but Epimondas here has got it covered. My guy did a full length character review that can't be topped

mayumi and erika the only saving grace of this terrible show

She has one of the most colorful, charming, and appealing characters.  She is part Hinagiku and part Ayano.  She is both hot tempered and comically bold.  If she were a best friend, nothing would ever get you down or disturb your peace.  If she were a sister, you would have a ready network of friends and a sheild against enemies.  Her wisecracking straightforward demeanor is refreshing under any conditions. Sometimes her outgoing personality itself gets her into social distress because she marches foward over all obstacles unappologetically.  Few characters stand out like her.  She's like the refreshing breeze that stirs you from your slumber of self destruction.  No one is allowed to sulk alone or beat themselves up with her around.  Her uber optimism is nearly as infectious as the common cold.  Nothing ever seems to get her down no matter the circumstances.  While other figures from The Irregular maybe pillars of strength in terms of combat or defense, she is one to lean on for nearly everything else.  No other character seems to have as much pull or influence as this outstanding lady.  Even Tatsuya bows to the strength of her will frequently.  She may or may not be the cutest or coolest female character or even the coolest in the Irregular at Magic High School series but her qualities make her shine and even give her a very cute appeal.
