Editing Erin (section)

==History==
===Background===
Had a fairly normal middle class background. going to Disney world when she was eleven. As well as having a time at camp.<ref name="I4aII e3">“When I was eleven?  I think we went to Disneyworld at the start of summer.  And I had six weeks of camp with the most irresponsible camp counselors.  Tons of food we shouldn’t have been allowed to have, swimming, mud Olympics.  One of the boys fell on the mud slide and broke two of his fingers.”<br/><br/>“It’s hard to imagine you being eleven.”<br/><br/>“I was the most awesome eleven year old.  Man, I really wanted to go back there the next year, but I think our parents all shared notes and realized how dangerous it was.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/06/shade-interlude-4a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 4a II]]</ref>

She and her family survived [[Gold Morning]] and moved into [[The City]]. Her family were not part of the Fallen, but, broken by the event they found themselves prey to the Endbringer Cult.<ref>[[Interlude 4b II]]</ref>

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Allegedly met Rain while running away from a riot.<ref name="II3.4 e2">Rain said.  “I’ve always grown up in the middle of nowhere, so when my family was getting settled after Gold Morning, we saw all the incentives they were offering to people willing to get a headstart on agriculture and it seemed natural, you know?”<br/><br/>“Sure,” I said.<br/><br/>“Erin’s parents were kind of the opposite.  City people through and through, something in them broke after Gold Morning.  They couldn’t bring themselves to join the rat race again, I think.  They were given the option for the simple life and they took it.  Erin got dragged with.”<br/><br/>“And you connected.”<br/><br/>“She was having a hard time, because y’know, she stands out when a lot of people are hurt and angry and looking to lash out.  She went looking for a hiding place and she stumbled on my workshop.  She’s been a real help, from before I even had the therapy, helping me get figured out, listening to me, helping me research. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/16/glare-3-4/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.4]]</ref> The facts are likely more complicated.

Was at the Library with Rain helping him research Multi-trigger events.<ref name="P.4e1">Heart_Shaped_Pupil: R!<br/>of5: Hi K.  Missed you earlier.  Am at library with friend. Researching.<br/>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: this is friend you’ve talked about   ?<br/>of5: She is the friend.  She is helping with technical side, searches.<br/>Heart_Shaped_Pupil: Hi friend!

===Early-[[Ward]]===
Picked Rain up after his latest therapy session where she met the new coach.<ref name="II2.7 e1"/> This gave Erin the chance to meet the former [[Glory Girl]].<ref name="II2.7 e2"/>

Rain claimed she is trying to find a job.<ref name="II3.4 e1">“How’s Erin?” Tristan asked.<br/><br/>“She’s good.  She’s applying for jobs today.  We’re in an awkward spot for it, though, not many locations, a lot of people around our age want those jobs, and it’s a long drive in to get to work.  I think those places open at six.  It might mean waking up at four to get to work on time.”<br/>[...]<br/>“It’s a chance to be independent,” Tristan said.  “If she can get the job.  She gives off a good impression, so I can imagine it happening.”<br/><br/>“Yeah,” Rain said.<br/><br/>“Who is she?” I asked.  “Can I ask?”<br/><br/>“Just a friend,” Rain said.  - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/16/glare-3-4/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.4]]</ref>

Met up with Rain after he attended his new groups training session.<ref name="II3.5">Rain walked for ten minutes to get where he was going.  Erin had parked under a modest little bridge in a town with one gas station.<br/><br/>I didn’t feel good, watching them interact.  I felt guilty for spying, even though his actions proved he was being dishonest.  I watched Rain make conversation with his friend.  Minutes, where he did most of the talking, pacing some, while Erin leaned against the side of the vehicle.<br/><br/>He must have asked something, because Erin shifted position, reaching through the window.  A second later, she drew her hand out.  She had a handgun.<br/><br/>It didn’t mean anything.  This was justifiable, given his situation.  Lying about where he lived and where he was going was justifiable.  Even his friend carrying a gun made sense, when he was being hunted. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/20/glare-3-5/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.5]]</ref>
