**Erica** is a quiet, introspective girl of twelve, with an adventurous spirit that often remains hidden beneath her shy exterior. With long, chestnut-brown hair that she usually keeps in a messy braid and large, expressive green eyes, she has an air of curiosity about her. Erica is of average height for her age, often wearing oversized sweaters and jeans, comfortable attire that allows her to blend into the background at school. She carries a well-worn backpack filled with notebooks, pencils, and, of course, her beloved fantasy novels.
Despite her timid demeanor, Erica possesses an imaginative mind that transports her to faraway realms filled with magic and bravery. She often daydreams about being the heroine of her own story, battling dark forces and saving enchanted lands. Her heart is kind, and she feels deeply for others, which helps her forge connections with the creatures she meets in her newfound adventure.

The Healer in Hiding
Girl grew up in a cult. Gets out and meets a guy. Guy gets into an accident and she has to reveal her secret so he'll live. Word gets out and her past comes back to haunt her. This is a hobby project intended to work some creative muscles, which is why you may see iterations of the same characters in my stories. While not true fan fiction, this work is inspired by several of my favorite movies and film characters. I like to drop lines from these movies and characters as little Easter eggs. If you can spot them give them a shout-out in the comments. As this is essentially a glorified creative writing project, I haven't done the type of deep research that goes into a professional novel. I'm always receptive to constructive criticism that helps to improve my writing.Complete

For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed.

There, Y/n learned to command chaos, weave spells, and walk the line between hero and myth. Then one day, he left on a mission. And never came back. Now whispers circle the shadows of Mount Justice. Did he fall? Did he flee? Or did something darker claim the witch-born Wayne?
