CzarinaErica

Erica z Červenliška (ign: CzarinaErica) is a member and de-facto leader of the Red Sumari, a subset of Sumari with their own distinct coloring, culture, and language. She is also the Founder and Matriarch of the Červenliška noble house (translated: House of the June Fox), and leads it from her city in (city name). After the emergence of the Sumari from deep underground, she lead the Red Sumari to new lands, where they adopted language and culture to varying degrees, helping to separate the Red Sumari as a distinct ethno-cultural identity from the White Sumari, while still recognizably part of the Sumari overall. She is currently the Niskur of Domestic Affairs in Mosir-Sumari, and holds the title of Coarch in the Uraka Imperium, where she has a home in Sierras del Aluminé.

Erica is 5'9, taller than many other female Sumari, and has a slender build. She has purple eyes, red-brown hair, and black tips on her ears and tail. Through unknown abilities, she is able to appear as though she is human, and is seemingly able to maintain this appearance for significant lengths of time. She often wears attire seen to befit her status, most notably dresses with ample amounts of jewelry, but will occasionally be seen wearing a military uniform, and rarely can be seen wearing casual fit clothes.

Personality
Erica is a quick witted, but sometimes blunt young woman, with a clever tongue but she has some difficulty with restraint. She has an uncanny ability to blend into social environments, and can pick up on information that can prove useful where most others wouldn't think it worth remembering. She is also sparing in her loyalties, often choosing to remain loyal only to those to whom she is closest, and to things she cares the most about.

She values her good image, and will often work to maintain her good standing in the public eye, believing that her public appearance is a useful asset to achieve her goals. Despite all of this, she does show genuine kindness to those around her, and will often make displays of affection to those closest to her, valuing her friendships and relationships very highly.

She has a known fascination with all things knowledge and philosophy, and as an extension of this, has a sharp fascination for all things technological or industrial, and has a firm belief that stagnation is the greatest sin in both the person and the people, and that progress and forward movement is paramount to success and health in both the individual, and the society.

While she is somewhat vengeful against those who have done her, her people, or her friends harm, she does have some sense of respect for her enemies, oftentimes doing her best to learn from them how to pick and fight her future battles.

Early Life
Erica z Červenliška was born before the Great Emergence to the surface, in the subterranean realm of the Sumari. Most of her early life was spent in the tutelage of scholars, who taught her many critical skills in her earliest days. Very early on, she discovered that she was gifted with an affinity to fire magic, through aptitude or inborn ability she didn't know, nor did she care, as this was the spark that ignited the flame of her fascination, bordering on obsession, with knowledge, progress, change, philosophy, and eventually technology, industry, and politics.

Becoming Kamuykur of Mosir-Sumari
One of Erica's crowning achievements, being named the heir to the founding Kamuykur of Mosir-Sumari Alyssa (Revontulete), after putting in many hours of hard work for her nation, her talents were recognized, and her efforts justified when on April 2nd, 2022 Alyssa officially named Erica as her successor in the nation.
