"It's nice to meet you Jake, you new in town?"

"I think most people around here have. I’m Jake."

[techerika]

"sounds like you've had it tough, too much bad is never good. I'm Erika by the way"

"Good. I’ve had enough bad walk into my life for the time being."

[techerika]

"It's five o clock somewhere"

” I am not an alcoholic. Just having bad day,wanna join ? ”

[techerika]

"Which would you prefer?"

"And are you going to be good or bad?"

[techerika]

"The things we sacrifice for good degrees huh?"

I think I deserve to sleep in for a few more hours. Considering the amount of studying I’ve been doing.

[techerika]

"You would be correct"

"And I’m guessing when you’re bad you’re bad?"

[techerika]

"Who said I was embarrassing myself?" Erika said with a smile towards the girl she registered her face, it looked familiar but she couldn't place it...yet anyway.

And when you’re good you celebrate that by embarrassing yourself?

[techerika]

"when I'm good I'm good"

[techerika]

Erika nodded her head slowly as Elena talked, she gave her a small smile when she explained who she thought Erika was. "Nah, not me I don't do english" she looked towards the bar for a moment, just as Elena asked if she could take a seat "Sure" Erika said plesantly as a waitress walked past Elena ordered a water and the waitress looked to her "Vodka white please" Erika asked and showed the waitress her ID. Turning her attention back to the brunette girl. Taking her hand she smiled, it wasn't often Erika made new friends so this was somewhat refreshing but it was New Orleans and you never knew who you were really befriending in this town. "Erika, nice to meet you Elena"

"Yeah, I get like that too sometimes. This place just really makes you think.." she said, almost drifting away momentarily. It was true, she did most of her thinking here, and sometimes it was her best thinking. Elena shrugged, "I thought you were a girl in my tutorial - my English tutorial. But you’re not!" Elena tried to laugh it off, the laugh coming off awkward. "Do you mind if I -?" Gesturing to the chair beside Erika she sat down before she finished her sentence, ordering a glass of water. "I’m Elena", she said sticking her hand out to shake Erika’s.

Erika looked the girl over for a second, she looked vaguely familiar but she wasn't about to let that on. She listened to the girl for a moment and watched her warily as she handed a few napkins over to her. "No problem" Erika decided she should accept the apology, she needed to not be so jumpy anyway. "I was in a world of my own any how that's why it startled me so much, no biggie" Erika flashed a smile at the girl before turning back to clear up the last of the spillage. "Who did you think I was anyway?" Erika asked curiously, she figured she might as well make some small talk before she went to the bar for another drink.

Elena had been here one too many times this week; something extremely unusual for her. All the stress was beginning to catch up with her and she felt like one of her exes as she resorted to the comfort of alcohol. She had taken up a booth all to herself, her head buried in her books, trying to get ahead in her notes and readings. Unfortunately for Elena, she had read the same sentence three times in a row now, and realized that this was about as much as her brain could handle for today. Glancing up to the empty room, she thought she recognized the back of the head of someone. Standing up, she made her way towards the girl who was sitting, thinking it was one of the girls in her tutorial, and stood behind her. “Hey!” She said, enthusiasm in her voice. But when the brunette turned around, Elena realized it wasn’t who she originally thought it was. Humiliation rushed over her, and she scrambled for an apology. “I didn’t mean to scare you, you just looked like someone I know - ugh, I’m sorry. Here, let me help you,” Elena said as she reached for more napkins handing it to the girl. 

[techerika]

Erika twisted the olive around in her drink, not really paying much attention to anything surrounding her. She was so emersed in her own thoughts that nothing else seemed real in the world when the feeling of warm breath on her neck startled her into dropping her drink all over the table she was sitting at "Do you mind! You can't just sneak up on people like that!" she snapped without even looking at the person behind her. She started scrambling for napkins when she finally decided to lay her eyes on her neck breather "Seriously..." she said and trailed off meeting their eyes.

♕ YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE STOWAWAY THAT STABBED HER WAY TO SAVE HERSELF. ♕

playlist

ERIKA MALONE has lived to see her TWENTY-FIRST birthday. Erika can be considered to be among the most OBSERVANT and SELFISH. Living in New Orleans as a HUMAN comes with its own set of challenges and Erika is determined to survive this war. It has been said that she bears a striking resemblance to JANEL PARRISH.

THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT BIND YOU FOREVER, FOREVER.

♕ From a young age, Erika always was always something of a pessimist. She knew that nothing good can last forever and that things can take a turn for the worst when they are at the very best. She had learned that from her parents who seemed to always go from the highest of highs only to plummet to the lowest of lows. They always eventually picked themselves back up again, but this constant pattern of up and downs made Erika conscious of everything she did and how it impacted the world around her. Some might even argue that it turned her into a strategist long before she ever should have been. Much like their social and financial pattern, her father’s health took a plunge during Erika’s senior year in high school. The passing of her father was bittersweet. Erika lost someone who she was extremely close to but was left with all that he had taught her and a large sum of money to support her future endeavors. He had always wanted Erika to do what she wanted and for her to never let anything slow her down. Since his death, that’s exactly what she has been doing.  Like many twenty year olds, Erika wanted to go out and explore the world in order to see what it had to offer. So, after graduating from high school, she packed her bags and said a brief goodbye to New Orleans. She only got as far as some childhood friends’ summer place in Georgia. It was everything she was looking for, though. Erika knew she shouldn’t get too comfortable, as this was just something temporary, and the real world was calling after summer was finished. Fortunately for her, she was able to stay once she accepted an offer at one of the local College’s nearby, starting her studies. For Erika, this was the beginning of her high-low pattern; the beginning of her trip brought out the highest highs for her, but half a year into it, it brought the lowest lows that featured her on news stations throughout the nation.

I was brought up as a Southern belle, I grew into the Queen from Hell. 

♕ Many people would say Erika had an immense of luck to survive the night her friend were killed, but Erika would argue it was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Erika knew she wasn’t supposed to survive that night in Georgia and just thinking about it brought back fear to her. She became obsessed with the case, wanting to know every single detail about what happened. She began to make visits to private investigators and using the money that her father had left her to have them search for answers in ways the police legally couldn’t. The further she tried to dig, the more that Erika began to realize she needed to get out of Georgia. A run in with the police concerning their belief that she was intentionally interfering with their investigation sealed the deal for her. The move back from Georgia was an adjustment for Erika. She transferred her credits and began a normal college life at Tulane—as normal as possible that is. She still had a hard time shaking that desire to dig into anything mysterious, though, from animal attacks to strange accidents in The Quarter.  Deciding to put some of what she’d learned in Georgia to good use, Erika has decided to major in Computer Sciences at Tulane. As something of an experiment to see how far she could push things, she’s found herself in the university’s database as well as in that of the police department. To put it in the simplest terms, Erika has managed to get her hands on plenty of information that people would kill for. Some of this information, buried deep in Sheriff Stilinski’s personal files, alludes to the existence of the supernatural. To say Erika had struck gold would be an understatement. It wasn’t long before some of the supernatural began to suspect that was onto them. The shifty eyes and avoiding of conversation began to give Erika away but she was always good with finding a way to save her own ass. However, things in New Orleans seem to always be changing and she isn’t quite sure what some things mean. For instance, she has no real knowledge of the new witches, though she’s found the way the other supernatural have reacted to them to be very curious.

I’m in bed with his bow tie on, all dressed up for a hit and run.

♕ Erika is well aware that the information she has can’t be shared with anyone and that her safety depends on her silence. While she enjoys the feeling of power it gives her, she wasn’t bargaining for the anxiety that came with it. Her fear of getting caught by the authorities is far less than that about surviving another day in a city filled with supernaturals. She has taken up self-defence classes, even going so far as to experiment with the use of weapons. Although she is someone who detests violence, she knows that she could use what she’s learned if her life depended on it. Erika is kind and caring to those she loves, though she’s also known for being quick to judge people upon first meeting them. As a child, she was bullied and that has left a lasting mark on her self-confidence and behavior. She is very careful with who she opens up to and she has gained the reputation of being the love them and leave them type.  

AND THESE LITTLE THINGS THAT DEFINE YOU FOREVER, FOREVER.

If you could change one thing in your past, what would it be and why?

I would have found out that Gregory Deveraux had a really tiny penis, found a way to tell myself and out him to the whole school before he set out to ruin my school life but I guess learning how to ruin his credit rating works too.

ALL THIS BAD BLOOD HERE, WON'T YOU LET IT DRY?

♕ james kim: While getting to know each other, she noticed something about him that she found particularly beneficial to her: his ability to process and connect information in an instant. Still, his need for order and control can be difficult as it isn’t a pretty sight when things aren’t quite what he expects them to be. For now, she letting him go through the files she’s access in exchange for his help connecting all the dots. 

♕ leah bauer: Erika has no idea what she did to attract Leah’s attention, but it’s starting to make her very nervous. She tries to tell herself that she’s just being ridiculous, but knowing everything that she does about the supernatural means that she knows exactly what Leah is. She’s been trying to build up her courage to confront the other woman, but knows that if she’s wrong she’ll not only look ridiculous but will have revealed her secret as well.

♕ melissa glaser:  Melissa is one of the first real friends that Erika has made since returning to New Orleans. While Melissa has dropped very small hints about witches, Erika never bothered paying attention to them. She is more focused on the other supernaturals as they seem far more threatening to her.

♕ danny mahealani: Erika loves that Danny is clueless to everything around him, it’s a breath of fresh air to her. When she needs a break from all the supernatural chaos, she turns to Danny for it. They share one class together and have developed a friendship. While she values honesty in her friendships, she has zero intention of telling Danny anything about the supernatural.

IT'S BEEN COLD FOR YEARS, WON'T YOU LET IT LIE?

ERIKA MALONE is making her mark on New Orleans as this character is currently AVAILABLE.
