Why is Erika so awesome?

[Anonymous No.]

Because she makes a beautiful bride.

[Milfeulle is my Waifu !iS.Yuri/S. No.]

because she's dead.

[Anonymous No.]

Because she's a Mary Sue who's made to be perfect in every way, only given "flaws" to try to give her more personality when she doesn't fucking have any. That's why.

[Anonymous No.]

Because she's the daughter of the best character.

Because she's <good>, this level of reasoning is possible for Anonymous.

So after going through Episode 5, the main thing that kept bugging me was why Erika would do things like tape up every window in the guesthouse, listen to Battler sleeping, or try to frame Natsuhi. Then it all came to me. She is legitimately Yandere for Battler. She genuinely wanted him to have the headship, and she would destroy anything that threatened this. Erika taped the windows because she knew that one of the other adults could make a move to take the headship from Battler. Erika listened to Battler sleeping because she is creepy and wanted to make sure that none of the cousins tried anything to harm him. Her big story about Natsuhi was a bluff to get her to admit Kinzo's death so that Battler could properly inherit the headship, otherwise Natsuhi could claim that Kinzo was missing and delay the passing of the headship for a long time. In addition, ruining Natsuhi would get another obstacle out of Battler's way.

Erika just wanted his dick all along. This level of reasoning is possible for a drunk anon at 2 in the morning.

she may be <good> but is she lawful?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4201050
She is chaotically annoyingly lawful

[Anonymous No.]

>>4201050
She's not good that's for sure, and probably not lawful either considering she's a murderer.

This just in alignments are the most retarded system in the world and only autistics think that real human beings can be stuffed in those categories.

Are you guys joking? Or do you not know what a Mary Sue is?

A Mary Sue is a perfect character who everyone loves, who effortlessly accomplishes tasks that the real main characters would solve with ease.

Erika is instead a creepy bitch who manipulates the truth and get everyone to accept a horrible lie as the truth. She's humiliated by Battler and shown to be a pathetic, shallow person. I'm even surprised that people think she's a Mary Sue in the first place.

This is pretty blatant satire. I'm not sure how you're missing this.

Or completely unrelated to Mary sue and just an annoying character in the end.
Just saying.

come on, she's bern's mary sue, she fits every point, even the self insert

[Anonymous No.]

>>4201284
Sure, that too. But since people keep calling her a Mary Sue, I feel the need to point out she's pretty much the furthest thing from one.

Self insert-check
Perfect in every sense-check

She just has a horrible personality so people hate her, but in the beginning of ep5, she even had a likeable one

[Anonymous No.]

I would normally object to Erika being called a Mary Sue, as she is not a self-insert of the author. But seeing as though she is a faultless self-insert of Bern, that is the perfect phrase to describe her. You know, besides 'pervert'.

This is my favorite part of Erika, how she turns the Mary Sue on its head.

That, and writing erotic copypasta about her being humiliated or giving footjobs.

You can't be perfect in every sense with a horrible personality

[Anonymous No.]

>>4201336
Actually, it's very common for Mary Sues to have horrible personalities. Part of what makes someone a Mary Sue is that people love and respect them even when they're being awful (see Jerk Sue under TVtropes for some good examples). This is because the very definition of a Sue is a self-insert propped up by the author, who doesn't believably work without their manipulation (and of course, Erika uses Bern's authority to get away with everything).

And again, the fact that she's super perfect at everything yet is a horrible person is, again, the deconstruction of the Mary Sue.

She has "broken Mary Sue moe". That is, at the end of Episode 5, she was utterly destroyed by Lambda, who had played perfectly into Erika's hand in order to fool her into believing an incorrect theory. She completely fell apart--and thus "broken Mary Sue moe".
