Erika was born to a pack called Les Fantômes, or the Phantoms, daughter to a Naturalist and a Healer. She grew up learning about nature and its secrets, and enjoyed a pretty happy life. She was famous in her pack for her singing voice, and sang daily, conjuring songs for every occasion. When she was a year old, she was out taking a walk, something she did regularly. Unfortunately, she was captured by a poacher and taken away from her pack. The poacher sold her off as a pet for some rich man in Oregon, far from her home. The poacher claimed she was a wolf-dog mix, tamed and a good companion. She was not as tamed as the poacher claimed, for she often attacked the man and frequently tried to escape. The man retaliated violently by beating her, starving her, and once, throwing acid onto her face. After 6 months of abuse, Erika escaped the man's mansion and fled into the wilderness, though the exact details she has kept to herself. After recovering from her wounds Erika began wandering in search of a pack that will accept her and her hideous face. That is when she found Teekon Wilds.
