brief history:
erin never knew her parents. when she was born, they gave her up without a second thought. all she knew was that her parent's had been young - teenagers probably - because the minute she was born, her mother wrapped her in an old piece of cloth and placed her in the waste bin in an alleyway. it was a day later she was found, barely alive but she made it nonetheless. a survivor they called her.. and survive she would have to for the rest of her life. she was placed in a foster home as soon as she was deemed healthy enough, and she remained with a rather cold couple for several years. they were nice enough, but they refused to get themselves attached, and therefore they simply observed erin and gave her what she needed, but they lacked love for her, and erin grew up lonely and craving for the love people were yet to show her.
when she was four she was taken to a children's home, where being one of the youngest, she was quickly picked on. it didn't matter than she was pretty much still a toddler, she was forced to involve herself in the scraps for whatever she wanted or needed - food, a bed to sleep, a certain toy...all of it. she wasn't a fighter, she hated fighting, was too sweet, because despite everything she still used to laugh and smile, find the simple things in life, enjoy the smallest of things... she was someone who truly lived 'on the bright side of life'. she fought if she had to but generally if something was taken from her she went without, never complained. she was in and out of foster care. couples who thought they wanted her then figured they wanted an older child, some found her too quiet - she was withdrawn and shy, some had considered her a mute for her lack of talking, but really she was confused by the idea of affection, had been so devoid of love that those sorts of things confused her.
by the time she was eleven she'd been in and out of five different foster homes before finally she was settled at a children's home more permanently. there were older children here - previously she'd never been in a home where there were children all that much older than her, but this place was rougher, filled with violence and terror. she was picked on and bullied the moment she arrived for being so weak and small, a little blonde thing. she quickly banded together with a girl named cat of the similar age, who was a fiesty thing and managed to keep the two of them out of everyone else's way and soon they became best friends. erin struggled in the home, struggled to see the good in life, struggled to keep on surviving. she might have been a survivor, but she was not a prosperer. others were good at getting what they needed, at winning things in fights or simply scrounging. she was not. it wasn't that she wasn't smart - she was great in school, loved classes and all, but she just couldn't deal with the mess of the children's home.
she grew up there, with cat by her side, looking out for each other. erin learned to fight, and actually she could be a damn decent fighter, she just never fought unless cat needed her help. when they got older, cat met dylan...and the moment that erin met dylan she fell in love with him. she didn't know what it was about him, but her heart beat for him. the only thing was... cat got there first - ever the fliratious, confident woman she was becoming, and erin that shy little thing, she got the guy and erin could only watch on as her best friend. she was not bitter, but it hurt. she tried to put it out of mind, her best friend deserved a good guy in her life, and she kept at her side even whilst cat discovered she was pregnant. that was like a punch in the gut for erin but she could do nothing about it. she tried to support her...and then something bad happened.
cat was stabbed on an attempt by several of the teenagers to escape. erin had wanted no part, she hated the fighting, wanted to stick it out until she could legally leave, but some of the other's didn't like it. everything was working until one of them - some kid, arrow - stabbed cat...and right there in front of erin, her best friend died. she was distraught, her friend had been the only stable, good person in her life, and out of blind terror, she ran. unlike most of the others she barely made it through every day. whilst they managed to get themselves together eventually, she never managed that. she couldn't get a job, she often got caught when she stole or she felt guilty and gave the thing back. the places she slept were never nice enough, never clean or enough shelter. she barely found enough company and in the end she got herself into a gang only for the need of self preservation. she found herself wandering into hickstead where she soon learnt of daz's gang when he cornered her a couple of times. she was beginning to loose hope, think that one day she just wouldn't wake up...

overall personality:
despite everything that has happened to erin, she's always been a rather gentle, wise soul. people who believed in witches and supernatural on occasion would have believed her to be 'an old soul' simply for the fact that she could seem as though she'd seen more than her years would suggest. she's kind hearted, with a soft nature that would have faired better in a softer life, without the violence. she has no bloodlust, no desire to kill, no passion for fighting and she somehow remains an optimist. she believes in enjoying the finer things in life - like the colour of the sunset over the roof tops, or the cuteness of a lone cat curled in an alleyway alone...she doesn't really have a second side. there's not much fight in her, there never has, and whilst if she's really riled she might muster a bit of fight, generally she's gentle, soft and honest. she somehow manages to see the best in everyone, no matter what, and isn't one to complain or be bitter and have regrets...[/size][/ul]
