[Ayla]

full name
erika madeline wilder

nicknames
none she cares to share

age
nineteen years

gender
female

appearance
The first thing you notice about Erika is her height. She's tall, standing about 5'10", and even if she was otherwise plain, she would be unmistakable in a crowd. It's both a blessing and a curse; when she argues with men, she's that much closer to their height and therefore that much more intimidating. But she is also easy to find, and therefore easy to complain to. If Erika had one wish to change her appearance, it would be to shrink a few inches - she's self-conscious about it. Her frame, while long, is not as slim as some. She has a more average build with the constant exercise she does; were she to be a lazy person, she'd likely be overweight. As it is, she has dense muscle with a layer of fat on top.

Erika also sports mid-back length red hair. If she were to pull the slight wave out of it, it would be a good inch and a half longer, but as it happens she's quite fond of her hair the way it is. Her fiery hair matches her eyes; they're green, but not the shade of stunning green some women seem so proud of. It's more of a gray-green that sparkles only in exactly the right light. Her nose, while somewhat broader than average, is nothing to really gawk at, nor is her mouth.

personality
adventurous - Erika has never been one to hesitate in endeavors. She's either in it or she's not, and usually she is. She doesn't do things, especially exciting ones, halfway, and it's gotten her in trouble more than once. She'll try anything once, maybe twice, including crazy risks.

calm - While bungee-jumping and skydiving are top on Erika's list of things to do, she doesn't lose her mind over them. While not the proverbial rock, Erika is a stable influence in the sense that she's predictable and steady, especially when she needs to be.

out of touch with herself - Erika has never been good about recognizing when she's nervous or angry. She doesn't express herself well because of this, and is quiet around people she doesn't know. It's not abnormal for her to find herself with her fists clenched and teeth bared with no idea how she got there.

self-serving - She has a different philosophy on life than most people; her goal in life is to make herself happy, and if that means lying to others, she's fine with that. She doesn't go out of her way to help people, and she hates to compromise. In Erika's mind, it's her way or find someone else to help you. She wants excellence, all the time, and if you're not helping, Erika won't hesitate to get you away from her by whatever means necessary.

enjoys company - Although Erika has the personality type that drives people away, she does like company. She works best when she can order people around. She hates empty rooms because of the quiet, and much prefers to listen to a conversation than to nothing, even if she's not partaking. A strange preference, sure, but Erika deals.

logical - Maybe the reason Erika still has friends is because her plans usually work, as long as no one steps out of line. She thinks things through, and though she'll still do something even if it's dangerous, she knows the risks and the consequences. She loves a good riddle, but finds art unappealing because of its lack of logic.
