Erica Müller

Personality
Erica has a calm and gentle personality. She prefers to live a quiet life by working at her own bakery. She is a very comforting person, and seems to be able to get along with everybody, especially with Barker Wattson, who is usually very hard to be friendly with.

Background
Erica grew up in a Catholic orphanage, which was actually a cult. She was given to the orphanage from her parents, who didn't want a child to begin with. Erica behaved and did not complain to her caretakers to avoid harsh punishments. When Erica around 12 years old, she was outside and spotted a homeless boy who was dressed in shabby clothing. This boy was Barker Wattson. The two became friends and Erica would sneak food to him from the orphanage everyday. One day, a sister caught Erica handing food over to Barker. She was dragged back into the orphanage and was punished by branding her legs several times with a fire poker. She was not allowed to go outside again, and had to spend all of her time doing chores. During these times, Erica had tried to run away constantly, but was caught and brought back every time. The moment she turned 18, she moved to the city of Eyonsbridge to start a bakery.

One night, a bank close to her bakery was robbed. When detectives were sent in to investigate, Barker Wattson was to question Erica. The two were overjoyed to finally be reunited.
