Personality: The internet is a cruel cruel place, but for those wanting some fame it might be the perfect breeding ground. Eri was a shut in, but she was also an internet idol under the name Ellie. She spent hours dressing up editing and trying to look good on video which in turn got her a fanbase and enough hits to make anyone go “wow” at the numbers alone. Even with some amount of fame online she wasn't happy. She wasn't able to sing during her videos out of fear which dragged her down. That is in till she joined 876 Productions hoping to become a real idol and ditch her former life style or at least try and ditch her formal life style.
Due to how cut off Eri was she has trouble with people in a face to face in real life conversation. When she first met the producer for 876 Productions she couldn't even say her real name at first due to being so shy and in a state of panic. Along with freezing up during simple photo-shoots because there was just too many people around. She was able to get by with the help of Ai and Ryo even then she had trouble talking to them at first. Along with meeting Miki who shows that you can have a lot of confidence. Even after all that she panics a lot if she's around one of them it helps calms her down a little but it's still a work in progress. But due to the push she got from them along with her producer Ozaki she was able to finally sing instead of being afraid of her own voice.
She's shy and very reserved, in fact it wasn't in till she was told to help Ai that she really spoke for more than a little bit with either her or Ryo. Even though Ai was a handful Eri wanted to make sure she could move up and reach her goal. So she helped by showing her how to sing and control her voice to some degree. Due to the fact Ai is slightly younger she does care about her in one of those they're still learning give them a chance type ways. Though she still treats her as a good friend and someone she can talk to or at least try to talk to. The same could be said about Ryo, since Eri considers “her” to be very cool and in control even during stressful and scary events. Which has given her the motivation to try and keep going even if it's a little scary. Like when they had to film for a t.v program and the building they had to walk-through was “haunted” even if she got scared Ryo was cool and in control which gave her a sense of calmness, which allowed her to keep going even if she panicked a little at the start of filming.
Even though she panics a lot she tries to hid it, even though it doesn't work. Most of the time you can tell if she's in a state of panic because she'll freeze up. After working with Ai and Ryo for a little while she lightens up even if it's just a tiny bit. Like when they slept over at her house she was able to see that what she was saying might be hurtful and quickly tried to correct everything. Instead of just panicking and not doing anything to fix what had happened.
One problem is Eri still has times were she wants to go back to her room and her old life style. Such as on her early days off she would just go back to her room and go back on the computer like nothing happened. But over all she wanted to become a real idol in order to prove that she could shed her old self, but her old self still gets in the way. In the form of her friend Cineria an internet idol that wants Eri to stop being a real life idol and return to the online world as the idol Ellie. After a series of showdowns Eri wins and Cineria backs down. Which shows how much Eri rather be involved in the real world instead of the internet.
Even if it's just little but little Eri is breaking out of her shell, step by step getting in to the real world more. It's about understanding others as well as your self. Which is something she wants to be able to do. As shown when Ai and Ryo visit her room in the drama cd track. Even though she doesn't really understand why she starts crying after Ai breaks her kitty jigsaw puzzle and starts crying / saying sorry. But she figures out that you have to share sadness and pain together and work through it with your friends. That working together is the key to moving forward and that being alone won't solve anything anymore.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths - She's quite good at video editing, her videos are mistaken for a high level budget production most of the time. - Great with computers and other tech items since she used to live on the internet pretty much - Has a very good singing voice, even though she's afraid of singing at first - Is very good at explaining how to use volume control in a simple and easy to use way. Though it takes a bit of complaining from Ai for her to dumb it down. - Has a knack for picking up internet slag and other useless info you'd find on imageboards such as 2ch and 4chan. - Can figure out the best position on stage to dance and show off based on lighting. Due to how much time she's spent video editing and making things look good.
Weaknesses - Eri is extremely shy and has a problem with being around a lot of people due to being in her room for a very long time - Even though she has a great singing voice it takes a little extra push to get her to sing. - Tends to panic a lot over simple things that other people might not have a problem with. (mostly talking to her and doing activities like shopping and what not.) - Along with saying nuko to her self a lot and tends to speak as if saying a question. - She was a complete shut in for awhile so any real physical activities are a bit out of her range / she'll go running back to a bedroom if need be. - Eri buys a lot of items online but never opens the boxes, because she's afraid they'll be out of stock by the time she wants to order them.

Samples First Person Sample: [ If you're just tuning in now you might notice that Eri is panicking and waving her arms trying to get something off her clothes. That something just so happens to be a Shellder]
A-ah I don't know what to do, please calm down and stop clamping on to my clothes ! Someone help... Ryo, Ai, Ozaki ? Please this isn't that type of game...
[ She's not calming down at all and the waving is just getting worse and her eyes are starting to tear up a little.]
nuko nuko... Clams can be caught in nets, I just need a net... did the starter pack come with a net? Nets are normally starter items it so it'll be here.
Third Person Sample:
After traveling for a few days Eri was finally able to get to the next town and find a room for the night. A nice safe place inside to stay, something she thought she would never see again. Even if it wasn't her personal neet cave back home it was at least a small way to get away from everything. But the only problem was her Shellder refused to come off her arm, thankfully she had long sleeves on so it didn't hurt her but it was quite annoying. So after making her way to the room she quickly started to run slightly warm water in the sink thinking if there was a pool of water it would come off.
“ Please go in to the pool of water ? Fish like water, it's nice and warm to.”
Eri tried slowing her arm in to the water hoping the Shellder would come loose after feeling the heat from the sink. Even if her clothes got wet it was a small price to pay for getting her arm back after days of not being able to get the pokemon off. After a few seconds of hovering over the sink she finally just dunked her arm in.
“I can keep my arm here all night if need be”
That was a really empty threat but she needed to be slightly brave and show Shellder who's the trainer around here. Panicking now would only show weakness, this had to be like training a dog so following the same steps would work hopefully. A few minutes after Eri dunked her arm in the sink the Shellder finally loosened it's grip and fell to the bottom of the sink.
“Tomorrow I can ask the person in the lobby if there's a bucket I can have. J-just don't clamp on to my arm again please? “
