Erica Fontaine (エリカ・フォンティーヌ Erika Fontīnu) is a member of the first generation Paris Combat Revue's Fleur Division and the protagonist of Sakura Wars 3.

Appearance[]

Erica has long brown hair tied in a ponytail and brown eyes. She wears a red Victorian-like puffy sleeve dress that reaches her calves with white linings and yellow crosses on both shoulders. She also wears brown boots.

While performing as the Black Cat, Erica wears a skin tight fuzzy black cat costume with white fuzz around her neck, wrists, and white fuzzballs on her chest and feet. She also wears black with pink ears and a black tail.

Personality[]

Erica is a nun in training and a cabaret dancer for Le Chattes Noires. A devout Christian, who genuinely wants to help people in need. She, because of her clumsy nature, will often make the problem worse. Sometimes, she will allow her imagination to get the better of her and believe her dreams to be real.

Erica has a tendency to be oblivious in serious situations. Often falling asleep, ignoring what is happening around her, or contently eating amongst chaos.

She has a great interest in Japan and its culture, although her knowledge is often incorrect. She carries a cross-shaped machine gun named "Raphael" concealed inside her dress.

When she was young, her parents died in an car accident, in which she survived by accidentally using her spiritual powers. Afraid that people who've seen her powers will think ill of her, she is brought into to live at a church by Father Leno. She genuinely tries to help others in need, yet her clumsiness almost always creates more trouble, once destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, another time pulling an entire flowerbed while going to pull weeds, and finally ruining a meal while being oblivious to her failure,

Erica's strengths lie in her relationship with other people. She will always believe in the positives in others and will always look at the bright side of any situation. Despite repeatably pushing her away, she continues to see and encourage good in Lobelia Carlini which causes the master thief to soften towards Erica. Every member of the Fleur Division gets along great with Erica and almost no one has a bad thing to say about her besides her clumsiness.

Erica rarely gets upset or angered, almost always being cheery and joyful, but her abilities in battle may actually outshine many others in the other Combat Revues when she gets serious.

In the heat of battle, Erica will awaken a different personality in herself, becoming more serious, competent, almost like a divine being. Once the battle is over, and everyone is saved, Erica will return to her happy, clumsy self.

In films and television[]

Sakura Taisen: Ecole de Paris[]

In Sakura Taisen: Ecole De Paris, Grand Mere first meets her in a church seeing her praying with angel wings and she became the first member of the Paris Hanagumi. But after one year of training, she still slacks much to Grand Mere's dismay. She makes friends with Glycine and recruits Glycine as the second member, after saving her. It is also shown that she gets her infamous wake-up maracas dance from Father Leno. When Erica is arrested as an accomplice of Lobelia due to Lobelia's lie, Erica wonders what Lobelia meant by having pleasure in the morning with men. Father Leno, being at a loss for an answer, tells her that men and women dance in the morning to show gratitude to God.

When Ogami came to Paris, she was the first member to meet him during a commotion in the European exposition ground. In the chapter where the Teito members (Maria, Kanna and Kohran) came to Paris as coaches to coach the Paris Hanagumi, she failed all the drills. However, the coaches felt that her spiritual powers have not been awakened. During this chapter, Father Leno comes to Ogami and asks him to tell Erica to leave the convent, due to Erica's clumsiness creating more havoc. Having heard their conversation, compounded by her failure in the drills earlier, she feels she is no longer needed anywhere. With no where to stay or go, she wanders around the raining city until Ohgami finds her. She falls sick and ends up staying in Ohgami's place, where Ohgami notices her enormous spiritual powers. The next day, although she hesitates at first to come back to Chattes Noires, the rest of the Paris Hanagumi manages to convince Erica to come back, by making a fake emergency call. But a few minutes later, a real attack on Chattes Noires occurs. During this attack, her spiritual power awakens when she tries to save her friends from being killed by Corbeau. In the end, Erica is given a room in the attic of Chattes Noires.

Sakura Taisen: Le Nouveau Paris[]

Erica is always seen smiling and trying to cheer up everyone. In Sakura Taisen Le Nouveau Paris, due to the nature of the game Sakura Taisen, a debate occurs amongst the Hanagumi members to who the next captain should be. At first, each member feels that Ohgami chose herself as the next captain, but in the end after a unananimous decision, Erica is chosen. This ends up being temporary as Erica resigns when she realizes the Revue captains generally end up being servants to the members' whims, and Grand Mere notes that the Paris Kagekidan doesn't need a captain to guide them to defend Paris.
