Appearance:
"I never asked my life to treat me this way. You could say I was born with it, my bad luck that is. All I can do now, is go with the flow, and hope everything works out. I can't hide from my destiny forever, after all."
Erin is a pale girl with white hair, and piercing green eyes. She is often bundled in warmer clothes, meant for colder climates... Such as the mountains she was raised in. She was never one for fashion, and would often just wear what she felt was neccessary for the occasion (or more likely, weather), but her usual dress code can be easily influences by the suggestions of others, and of course... Her bad luck.

Bio:
Erin, despite being born into a royal family, was told from the beginning that her life would be a living hell. She was fated with 'bad luck', like her mother before her had, and so on. This was something that would refuse to change, until the day she were to live out her fairytale, and confront her fate that chose to disagree with her. Until then, she was sent away to live in the mountains, isolated from her Kingdom. There, a mountain man was hired to teach her the basics of how to handle herself, even with her luck working against her almost all the time.
Her life was rather secluded as a result, and contact with her real family was almost nonexistant. In fact, she wasn't properly exposed to the outside world until the day she was finally enrolled in Ever After High.
This would mark her first interaction with others, and pose some of the greatest challenges yet to her as she learns to handle her bad luck, for the better or worse. Her year at this high school will be the make it or break it moment; it'll determine if she is truly up to the task of conquering her ill-fate one day, and wipe away her bad luck once and for all.
Powers/Abilities:
- Bad luck; Erin's sole supernatural ability is a passive influence on her surroundings. One that increases the likelihood of something unlucky happening to someone, the intensity of which varies, depending on how close someone is to her. Its radius seems to fluctuate, but the distance of which this ability affects her surroundings is rarely more than a few feet around her. People have to be close to her to experience any kind of bad luck, but eye contact appears to amplify the effect, and of course... This amplification grows the closer in proximity someone is to her when she makes eye contact with them. As a result, she simply prefers not to make eye contact with others for the sake of not harming them indirectly. Though, this ability seems to affect Erin herself the most severely, often creating unfavorable circumstnaces for her, ranging from misplacing things she needs, often at the worst times, to being accident prone in her daily life... Facilitating a need to constantly replace essential items. As a result, she is often keeping to herself, hoping to avoid causing others to suffer misfortunes like herself until she learns to properly work with the effects of this power, and one day... Be rid of it when it is her time to live out her fairytale.
- The basics; As her family was fully aware of how her 'bad luck' would influence their day to day life, they sent her away to live in the mountains... Tended to by a mountain man every so often. No-one stayed by her side for lengthy periods of time because doing so increases the risk of them experiencing more serious cases of 'bad luck' (losing valuables, food going missing, wild-life suddenly becoming hostile, horrid weather, so on). Thus, she was tought from an early age to fend for herself for the most part, food and basic supplies being given, alongside some commodities such as books. Though, none of the supplies she was handed were particularly of high quality, as they would more often than not need to be replaced whenever her 'bad luck' acted up. Of course, she was no survivalist by any stretch of the imagination, but at the very least, she knew how to live on her own, and procure basic supplies should the need arise, taking her bad luck in stride as she was forced to improvise.
