Erika is 5'9" tall and has red hair and black eyes. She is an attractive young woman of 21, particularly when she takes care to present herself as a lady and not one of her father's soldiers.

Background:
      Born and bred on the Iron Isles, Erika Crescentfall is the middle daughter of Anders and Thera Crescentfall. Erika favors her fatehr's coloring, except for her eyes which are the same dark color as her mother. Erika was never the most pleasant of children always asking the bane of all parents everywhere 'why?' when bid to do something, or even worse 'why not?' when bid not to do something. even as a child Erika spent more time in the armory, smithy and stables than in the parlor and in general the womanly arts of needlework, harping and simpering were beyond her desire to learn. Erika has passable skills she deemed necessary, being able to read and write, do sums and know the quick and dirty history of the realm.

As Erika grew she showed less and less desire to be the woman her mother was and evenetually her father gave into her desire to learn weaponry with the hope that she would soon 'outgrow the fad' and go back to a proper lady's ways. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way and instead Erika excelled at the training her father's Master-at-Arms, Ser Martin, gave her. Over the years Erika has made small attempts to learn the courtesies and niceties that lady should know, partly because she knows it would please her father to no end and partly because it would make her own life easier, but she always returns to her first love and one she can actually converse with her father about, the manly arts of war and tourney.

Erika is acutely aware of the situation her Father's house is in as far as an heir. While she cares for her sisters deeply, she understands neither's passions for the knowledge they collect or deceptions they play at.

Erika knows that Tya shall inherit Crescentfall when her father passes and she has no intention of being so dependent on any man that she must be married to make her way in the world. Being so dependent on one person had hurt her before, when her mother died and she does not want to endure that again. Even so, she has always loved the singers tales, and longs for a good and true knight to love her for who she is and sweep her off her feet in a fairy tale.

Erika is passingly religious, meaning she honors the Seven when necessary and occasionally even means the prayers she sends forth. But she is no Septa or even one to rely on the gods for anything. Having found that working hard and a bit of luck gets you further than waiting on the divine to provide.

The moniker a Harpy of Crescentfall is a badge she wears with pride, having taken the mythical creature as her own personal badge.
