Biography
Born in 07/03/800 A.S., Erika had been born to a relatively well off family in Rheinland. Father a excellent accountant and mother a stay at home wife, she grew up in considerable standing. Well respected amongst her peers, talented and performed well in school. Her younger years panned out normal for any other young girl, average childhood alongside loving parents and family left her in a good state of mind for her later years.
In her teenage years, she was very patriotic, but wasn't susceptible to propaganda given by terrorist organizations. Seeing some reports of Hessians, she fantasized about who they were, picturing them as heroic miners fighting for the greater good. This soon came to pass as her fantasies were broken apart by seeing the brutality of Hessian forces during the uprisings in Dresden. Another group that sparked her imagination was the Alster Union. The Unioners, she pictured, as workers who had been dismayed by the government and corporations and took up arms against them, fighting for what they believed was right. Once more, these fantasies faded, but not through finding acts of violence, but through renewed patriotism.
After reaching adulthood, Erika joined the Rheinland Military, she was thrust into action on the onset of the war with Liberty. Fresh from training and without much combat experience, she was assigned a frontline squadron deployed against the Libertonian forces. Offensive actions in New Hampshire, defensive actions in Hamburg saw Erika and her allies being whittled away by nonstop assault and deployments, leaving her and her friends tired and exhausted. She made many friends in the Rheinwehr, but lost equally as many during the fighting. One friend, Ulrich, managed to survive the war, as he was inside a medical bay of a battleship when war was officially over. Erika was relieved that the conflict had finally ended, but it hadn't come without a price.
She herself didn't escape uninjured. Defensive action in Hamburg left her fighter crippled, and left shoulder severely injured. While she managed to heal to a mostly normal level, she has extreme difficulty raising her left arm above her head. Amazing her psyche remained unscarred, for the most part, by the war. Continued contact with now retired Ulrich has helped in some regard. Following the war, she received various awards and accommodations for her service against Liberty, and ultimately chose to retire from the Rheinwehr, ending her service record.
As time passed, Erika grew discontent with the Government, she studied how the Rheinwehr continued their actions following the war. What she saw was not well. Acts of brutality, corruption and bribery, biased operations and even fines. She looked deeper into the root of such causes and soon believed that the ones she once stood and marched to battle for, were no longer worthy on maintaining unopposed control over Rheinland. Alone, there was nothing she could do, so she set out to search for a cause to support.
