History

Erica once wanted to be grown up, so she could get to do all the things adults do, which she felt were fun to do. But after an adventure in the Room of Consequence, where she got to experience a week in the life of a twenty-two-year-old, Erica learned the hard way that with adulthood comes enormous responsibility — getting and keeping a job, paying bills, being on time, eating properly and managing finances. The lessons Erica learned were difficult. In the end, she realized that there is a good reason she’s still a kid. Erica wasn’t ready to be an adult yet.

Erica was once obsessed with the soap opera Medical Center of Love, until she found out what it was really like after taking an adventure in the Room of Consequence as her favorite character, Holly. When the other characters robbed, cheated and betrayed her, Erica decided she had had enough of both Medical Center of Love and soap operas in general, and decided not to watch the show anymore.

Her primary friend is Courtney Vincent.

Although her participation during the struggle is never heard, Courtney is mentioned by Billy MacPherson as being a member of The Israelites during the Darkness Before Dawn saga (along with others including Charles Thompson).

Family

Erica has one sibling: Hayley. We don't know much about her parents, except for the fact that she does live in a two-parent home and gets along with them fairly well.

Quotes

“	Holly Donahue: ...Derek will never love me! Erica Clark: No! Not again! Derek loves you -- he just doesn't communicate it very well! Holly Donahue: Victoria? Get me my travel agent. I want a one-way ticket to Alaska. Derek (b): Hang up that phone, Holly. Holly Donahue: Derek! What are you doing here? I thought you were in the hospital! Derek (b): I ignored doctors' orders, ripped out my own IV and jogged two miles to say this to you: Holly, I love you.	”
