personality Traits. (+) goal-driven, friendly, caring, loyal / (-) sensitive, needy, cowardly, easily discouraged (0) bashful, reserved, affectionate, honest / ISFP, Hufflepuff-Gryffindor, Chaotic Good
Elaboration. (+) : Erika is someone who will never give up in pursuit of her goals and never stop until she reaches where she wants to be. She likes talking to people even though she's not good at it, just to help those who find it hard to assimilate feel more at ease, especially in a big group. Possibly due to being born on Valentine's Day, Erika has a loving heart and cares deeply for those around her, especially those closest to her. She also stands very strongly to those she loves and always puts them before anything else.

(-) : Erika is easily upset by criticism and needs a lot of assurance that what haters say is not true. Another time when she'll need assurance is when she feels neglected or unwanted. Erika tries her best not to upset others, but if she ever does, she'll avoid the person or overcompensate to please them hoping it will appease them rather than straight up solving the conflict. If she feels her goals are too hard to reach, she'll give up on them unless she has a lot of encouragement from those around her.

(0) : Erika gets embarassed easily and feels awkward when complimented or when she makes a small mistake. Although she likes talking to others, she doesn't open up to people quickly. However, she's very ostentatious in showing her love for through words and actions, and it can sometimes scare others off if it is unwelcomed. If Erika has praises to give, she'll give them wholeheartedly, but when she is upset, her criticism is harsh too.

background. Erika was born to a pair of doctors who migrated to Singapore in the 1990s. During her school days, Erika found it hard to make friends due to her priveleged background and not being able to relate to other kids. However, when she entered primary school, she started taking ballet as a CCA and fell in love with it, later begging her parents to send her for ballet lessons outside when she was 9. Secondary school was also the time when Erika had many crushes but was unfortunately rejected by all of them.

After secondary school, Erika wanted to go to an arts college so she could get a professional qualification and work as a ballet coach, but they insisted on her going to junior college first. However, it seemed like it was a good thing they did, as that was where Erika had her first love, a boy from the basketball team. In 2015, Erika discovered the girl group Red Velvet after accidentally listening to their song, Dumb Dumb, and ended up learning the choreography and posting a cover on Youtube.

Unfortunately, Erika's happiness was short lived, as her boyfriend's life was taken by a drunk driver in February 2016. As if things couldn't get crueler, that was when she found out she was expecting his child. Even though she had passed her A levels with flying colours and could get into many top university courses, she decided to put her education on hold and care for the baby instead, as she couldn't bear to have an abortion. Due to Erika's small size, she had to have her son delivered at 8 months via C-section for doctors' fear of complications if she carried him to full term.

After taking three months to recover from her pregnancy, Erika started working as a part-time receptionist and admin assistant at a university while doing dance covers in her free time. It was also not long later when a fellow cover dancer who she had made friends with through twitter wanted to audition for SM Entertainment. Erika realised this would be a great opportunity to pursue her passion for dance despite not being able to study ballet in an arts college. However, she didn't want to leave her son behind in Singapore if she became a trainee. Luckily, her parents were supportive and the family of 4 moved to Korea and Erika auditioned for SM Entertainment after getting a tattoo to remind herself of her son.

relationships. 

— Son : Sato Hoshi / 05. 07. 2016 / Preschooler / she doesn't know yet / Best Friend

Erika doesn't see her son much due to schedules, so she tries to spend all her free time with him.

— Groupmate : Kang Woolim / 17. 08. 1995 / Idol / caring, maternal, naggy / Close Acquaintance

Erika likes spending time with Woolim due to the latter's mother-like personality. There's not much Erika minds about Woolim other than her nagginess.

— Groupmate : Bae Jihyun / 06. 11. 1995 / Idol / passionate, hardworking, altruistic / Good Friend

Jihyun was one of the trainees Erika clicked with right off the bat when she became an SM trainee. Though both are very shy, they've slowly opened up to each other and are rather close. Erika just wishes Jihyun would try to love herself as much as she loves others.

— Labelmate : Olivia Neo (fc : Elkie) / 13. 11. 1998 / SM Entertainment Trainee / outgoing, talkative, impulsive / Good Friend

Though they had been internet friends from their cover dance days before they became trainees, it was definitely much easier for Erika to talk to Olivia behind a screen. However, the younger girl seems to be able to talk to everyone no matter where she goes, and that is a little bit intimidating to Erika. Olivia also has a tendency to speak or act without thinking through first, which can cause inconvenience to others. Nevertheless, their relationship isn't all bad, and Erika is slowly opening up to the younger girl.

— Groupmates : Blue Moon Members / 16-23 / Idols / Varies / Best Friends

Erika never had many friends so she'll always cherish them.

Trainee years. 2017-2018
trainee life.

— Erika was accepted to SM Entertainment in January 2017 after sending them an audition video. Despite her background in ballet and having done dance covers, Erika realised that K-pop dance was hard, and unlike ballet where she only practised for several hours a day, she had to dance for 12 hours straight with few breaks, even to drink water or use the toilet. Furthermore, when other trainees found out she was a single mother, they started avoiding her outside practise and gossiping about her behind her back. Furthermore, due to having to live in the same dorm as other trainees and restrictions on cellphone usage, Erika could not see her son and it was hard to keep in contact with him.

When Erika found out SM had plans to debut a girl group in 2018, she decided to work hard to catch up with the other girls so she could debut in the group, so that she could move out of the trainee dorms as soon as possible and see her son again. However, unexpectedly, it was her son that earned her lots of hate from Korean netizens when she accidentally talked about him on her social media.

2006 and 2008 | Singapore Youth Festival - Dance (International)

scandals.

— 2018 | "Blue Moon's Erika is a single mother?" | True and she got a lot of hate for it
— 2018 | "Blue Moon's Erika abandoned her baby?" | False, it's just hard for her to see her son due to schedules and she can't keep him in the dorm as sitters and daycare are expensive and SM pay isn't much but she spends most of her free time with him.

birthname. Gfriend's Yuju
backup lv. Twice's Jihyo

PERSONALITY.

— (+) enthusiastic, cheerful, friendly, charismatic / (-) irresponsible, impulsive, cannot maintain motivation, overemotional / (0) curious, unselfish, easily distracted, enjoys freedom / ENFP, Gryffindor-Hufflepuff, Chaotic Good

(+) Yuju usually takes a positive approach to her activities, especially if they are ones she enjoys. Sad is not a word you can use to describe Yuju, she has a smile on her face and brings sunshine wherever she goes. She loves talking to people and getting to know them, and likewise, everyone she meets loves getting to know her.

(-) Yuju usually neglects responsibilities in favour of having fun, and often doesn't do things that need to be done because she just finds them unenjoyable. She also has a tendency to do things without thinking, often only to regret later once the consequences fall on her. Furthermore, she likes making plans for things she enjoys, but often hastily and again, ends up regretting them when the maintenance becomes too tedious and / or they don't seem fun anymore. She usually has loud vocal reactions to shocking or exciting situations or news, and it can sometimes be annoying to others.

(0) : Yuju has a curious nature and loves learning new things, but as they say, curiousity kills the cat, and sometimes Yuju gets upset when she finds out things that disappoint her, and her curiousity is also mistaken as invasiveness. She loves her loved ones more than she loves herself, but then again, when bad things happen to them, it makes her very upset. It's difficult for her to keep to one task at a time, and even though she claims to be a good multitasker, she usually ends up producing substandard work due to the limited time she had to focus on each task. She doesn't like being held by hard rules and enjoys living life at her own pace, and this is a problem for her when she breaks rules unintentionally, neglects responsibilities or has to stick to routines.

love story. 

— Erika brought Hoshi onto a music show as the Blue Moon members wanted to meet him, and he accidentally ran into Gfriend's backstage room. The security guard did not allow Erika in, but Yuju heard the conversation between Erika and the security guard and returned Hoshi to Erika, during when Erika revealed she was a big fan of Gfriend.

Later, Blue Moon and Gfriend started hanging out backstage on music shows, and it was then when Erika and Yuju slowly got closer to each other.

the ending. 

— Erika confessed to Yuju by singing Love Whisper backstage after Gfriend had a win on a music show and they started dating.

trivia. 

— Erika's favourite Gfriend songs are Rough, Windy Windy, Love Whisper and Trust.
— will add more if I think of anything.

comments. Hope you don't mind her having a main dancer as a dance twin because all the idols with a ballet background are main dancers. Also hope you don’t mind that I chose the position I applied for Jihyun with as her backup because I really want her to have a dance position.
password. Moonlight (fans are the light of their life)
wishlist.

— members bonding
— members celebrating Hoshi's birthday
— Hello Baby featuring Hoshi (I really want this show back)
— Blue Moon on variety shows
