For shoes, she wears either a pair of black round-toed ballet flats or no brand converse lookalike white sneakers.

traits : (+) creative, loyal, cheerful, passionate, kind (-) sensitive, needy, cowardly, validation-seeking, perfectionistic (0) timid, reserved, bashful, selfless, modest
INFP-T / Hufflepuff / Chaotic Good
personality :  Cheerful : Erika is someone who seemingly does not let anything get her down and is always laughing and smiling. When interacting with others, she'll try her best to remain enthusiastic.
Loyal : Erika does not drop her loved ones just because someone else can give her something better or what she wants. She knows who are the ones who were there with her and stands by them, protecting them with her life.
Creative : Erika can seemingly come up with any ideas on the spot, and she loves making up and ideas. She loves thinking of imaginary worlds and "what if this happened" situations which spur her to create things.
Passionate and perfectionistic : Erika gives her all in what she does, just because she loves doing it. However, because back during her ER days even a split second can endanger or even end a patient's life, she does tend to push herself a little too hard to get everything right, because she doesn't want others to think (more like herself to feel) like she screwed up.
Sensitive : Erika is easily hurt by harsh words or others' suffering. She doesn't understand why people would want to hurt others, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and feels that even if you wish to criticise someone in order to correct them, you should tell them so patiently rather than lashing out and using harsh words.
Needy and validation-seeking : Growing up as a loner, Erika often felt there are few people who love her, and it didn't stop when she joined the support group. If people don't praise her, she feels that she had not done well or is unloved. She often says things like "oh dear, I didn't do so well this time" hoping others will assure her she did her best. She tries her best to help others or stay on their good side, because she wants people to like her.
Cowardly and timid : Erika does not like making her loved ones angry or getting into conflicts, so she often keeps her true opinions and feelings to herself. If she accidentally expressed an opinion others do not agree with, she will just agree to disagree for fear of ruining her relationship with the person / people. She is easily scared by people who are angry and fierce.
Kind and selfless : Erika tries to avoid hurting others, instead uplifting them wherever possible. She never fails to give her loved ones or people she finds cool words of encouragement when needed, even if she can't say much. She tries her best to show genuine love to everyone around her, even sacrificing herself to make them happy.
Reserved and modest : Erika finds it intimidating to interact with people she does not know and tries to avoid drawing attention to herself, only speaking up when she needs something or when she has a strong opinion, or if she is spoken to first. Due to her figure, she tends to avoid wearing overly revealing clothes.
 
background : Erika was the only daughter of a widowed doctor, who had high expectations for her to follow in his footsteps. Since the age of 7, she was sent to cram school in addition to normal classes. She didn't have any friends as she was unable to relate to other students, and had a driver to drive her everywhere, who was always punctual to fetch her.

It seemed that Erika did her father proud, as she managed to enter a medical course in a top university. Uni life was pretty much the same as all of Erika's life before that, she didn't have any friends and wasn't particularly close to anyone. Not that she minded, she'd rather spend time studying or reading in the library than hitting clubs or having dorm parties.

Erika managed to become a resident doctor in one of the most famous hospitals upon graduation, and actually managed to become somewhat close to the other resident doctors. One night, a drunk lovelorn man was sent to the hospital after getting alcohol poisoning, and Erika and her team treated him. To thank the ER doctors for saving his life, he invited them to the bar he opened months later.

It may have been in the heat of the moment, or because Erika had been keeping too much to herself that she couldn't tell anyone, she drank too much, one thing led to another, and she ended up in bed with a male colleague, who was as drunk as she was. Maybe it was the alcohol, but having never experienced being touched by someone else lovingly before, it felt good for her.

The two just went back to their daily schedules like nothing happened, until Erika found out she was pregnant. Surprisingly, the man who made her pregnant decided to take responsibility and marry her. She registered her marriage quietly and the newly married couple held a celebration with only the other three residents. When she texted her father to tell him she got married, he simply replied "Congratulations". It may have seemed that he was unconcerned, but the truth is he had gotten even busier than before, having changed careers to medical research rather than practise.

It seemed that everything was okay after that, but nobody expected that Erika's husband's life would have been ended by a falling bottle that some drunken teenage punk threw out of an apartment window, and she too had to have an emergency c-section due to collateral damage. There was no way Erika could leave her newborn alone at home while she worked up to 16 hours a day in the ER, and she didn't want to hire a babysitter like what her father did with her. She had promised herself that if she ever had a child, she would never practise "third-party parenting".

It was a painful decision but Erika decided to resign from the ER, and that was just the beginning. The career she had worked so hard for all her life had ended, and she didn't want to return home, fearing that her father would be disappointed in her. To make sure he couldn't find her, she decided to move to another country. After extensive research, she decided that Bolin, a small town in South Korea would be the best place for her, as they had several foreign minority groups including Japanese people. She bade a tearful goodbye to the only friends she had, packed everything she could fit into her suitcase and left for Bolin.

When she arrived in Bolin, she checked into a motel for a week to allow herself to find what she needed most urgently then - accomodation. Though her father had saved money for her as a child and she had earnings from her ER days too, they weren't a finite resource and were already running out from the money she was spending on milk and diapers, never mind that the only thing she spent on for herself was food from convenience stores.

Just as she was at her wits' end, Erika managed to find a home near the university that a university student herself was looking for a fellow tenant to share the rental with. When she moved into her new home, she found out that Son Heeyang was a single mother to be, and several students from the latter's uni including Heeyang herself had formed a support group.

Erika decided to go for a support group meeting with Heeyang to see what it would be like, and it turned out better than expected. Though she was at first overwhelmed by their lovebombing, they not only provided her with the emotional support she needed but blessed her with food, diapers and milk powder as well as their unwanted clothes that were still in good condition, and even the clothes they wore as babies and children. Furthermore, they had helped her to get a job as a part-time barista in the university's cafe, and helped to babysit her son when she was at work.


life style: Working days : Erika wakes up at 6 to 7am on a typical working day and her first order of business is to feed her son, Hoshi. She feeds but supplements with formula as she had always had a low milk supply and it just decreased over time. After that, she takes a shower and gets ready for work at the university's cafe. Before going to work, she will drop Hoshi off with any member of the support group who is free for the day. Erika doesn't have fixed working days but she always works an eight hour shift but she adjusts her working hours based on her schedule and activities. Since support group meetings every Monday and Thursday are held in the cafe, Erika knocks off at 5pm on those days and just takes some time to relax during the 1 hour before meetings, her activities during this time consist of reading parenting forums or catching up on social media, though she doesn't really add anyone other than members of the support group, she does follow some celebrities that are parents though (e.g Yebin and Dobin, Song triplets, Qiu Qiu). After she is done with activities for the day, Erika will fetch Hoshi from wherever he is (except on meeting days when whoever has been babysitting him will bring him to the meeting for her convenience), and bathe him before feeding him and putting him to bed, and she'll spend some time preparing her stuff for the next day then read parenting forums and / or go through social media again. She falls asleep at around 11am to 12pm, Hoshi generally sleeps through the night but once in a while wakes up because he's grumpy, hungry or just wants to be carried.

Off day : Erika has two off days a week which are not fixed, but she usually schedules them on Wednesday and Saturday. Although she wakes up at the same time, she usually spends her off days taking Hoshi out or spending time playing with him at home, though he can't do much because he's still rather young and usually sleeps through the day.

Erika's other hobbies include watching random youtube videos, and she has recently taken an interest in anime and music.

I'm not a student here and I haven't really gone anywhere other than the cafe, but I like the cafe, it's usually really nice and quiet. 
* where is your favorite on-campus location?: 
The cafe, it's like my second home, not only because I work there but because support group meetings are held there too.
* where is your favorite off-campus location?: I like the malls, there are a few them with kid-friendly amenities, and I love bringing my son there.
* what places do you stay clear of?: bars and clubs, I don't really see the appeal in drinking until you're wasted, and I don't wanna get pregnant again so soon.

* What is your opinion of the support club?: I really love that the students decided to set up a support group, I was lonely during my uni days and I wished there was someone there for me, and I think students who struggle with social awkwardness can benefit from the support group.
* Are you a regular at Rhi cafe?: I work there, so I'm there almost everyday, so I think I can consider myself a regular.
* What do you normally order at Rhi cafe?: Hot cocoa, I know it's weird for me not to drink coffee when I work at a cafe but I really can't stand coffee, it makes me so anxious and I never manage to fall asleep when I drink it.

* are you more of a helper or a person who needs help?: Both, I don't really need help, more of encouragement, but try to offer some tips when I can to other members, even though I don't really understand their issues sometimes.
* Are you a dedicated support club go-er?: Yes, I make sure to attend every single meeting.
* what types of things doe you do when you're not attending the meetings, or class?: I read parenting forums or just spend time with my son, and I recently started to love making slime.
