Appearance (AU)
Erica is a small dragon hatchling — younger than Lucas, so she’s still in the “half-cute, half-intimidating” stage. Her scales are a shimmering light purple with pink undertones that glint when light hits them. Her wings are underdeveloped — she can glide short distances but can’t fully fly yet. Her tail is long but thin, tipped with a tiny spade-like end.
• Eyes: Bright golden-yellow, always full of mischief.
• Horns: Small budding horns starting to curve backward, showing she’s growing into her draconic heritage.
• Claws: Sharper than they look; she takes pride in polishing them.
• Accessories: Often carries a tiny saddlebag stuffed with snacks, maps, or little treasures she’s “collected” (a.k.a. stolen from Lucas or Dustin).

Personality
Erica is everything you’d expect from a dragon hatchling with big confidence:
• Sassy & Bold: She’s not afraid to talk back to older ponies, griffins, or even Hopper. She loves teasing Lucas and his friends, often calling them out on their nonsense.
• Clever & Strategic: Though young, Erica is quick-witted and good at spotting weaknesses in plans or people.
• Treasure Greedy: Like most dragons, she has an instinct for collecting shiny objects — she’ll hoard gemstones, coins, or anything that glimmers. Dustin often bribes her with trinkets to get her help.
• Brave but Reckless: Erica wants to prove herself as much as the older kids, which sometimes gets her into dangerous situations.
• Childish Pride: She absolutely hates being called a “baby dragon,” insisting she’s more capable than anyone gives her credit for.

Abilities
Despite being a young hatchling, Erica shows strong dragon abilities:
• Fire Breathing: She can produce short bursts of pinkish-orange fire — usually small flames, but dangerous enough. She brags about it constantly.
• Gliding: Her wings aren’t strong enough for true flight yet, but she can glide off rooftops, trees, or Hopper’s roof (to his dismay).
• Keen Senses: Excellent hearing and sharp eyesight, letting her spot details others miss.
• Hoards & Negotiations: Like many dragons, she has a knack for bartering — often demanding payment before helping. “You can’t spell America without Erica” becomes “You can’t spell dragon without Erica.”
