Overview

Janome Erika is a supporting character in the original anime series Lycoris Recoil. She is an agent, known as a Lycoris, affiliated with the Tokyo branch of the secret organization Direct Attack (DA). As a former colleague of Inoue Takina, she plays a notable role in the events that trigger the beginning of the story.

Appearance

Erika is a young woman with short brown hair and brown eyes. Notable facial traits include visible freckles.

Personality

Erika carries a strong sense of guilt over an incident caused by her own mistake that impacted Inoue Takina. Though initially lacking the courage to face Takina directly out of awkwardness, she possesses a conscientious nature and genuinely cares for her fellow agents.

Abilities

In combat, Erika utilizes the standard-issue Glock 17 handgun. During larger tactical operations, she wields a KRISS Vector submachine gun customized with a vertical foregrip, an AR-style retractable stock, an extended 33-round magazine, and a SilencerCo Osprey suppressor.

Background

During a mission, a blunder led to Erika being captured as a hostage, but she was saved when Inoue Takina ignored orders to eliminate the captors. Unaware that the DA leadership used the incident to cover up their own errors, Erika blamed herself for Takina's subsequent transfer. She later took part in the operation at Enkuboku, where she volunteered to take Takina's spot in Team A so Takina could leave, finally apologizing to her directly.

Relationships

Inoue Takina is her former colleague whose decisive actions saved her life. Within the DA Tokyo branch, she maintains a close friendship with Kagari Hibana and is acquainted with Harukawa Fuki.

Trivia

Her name is derived from Janome Erika, the Japanese name for Erica canaliculata (channelled heath).
