Her eyes are a violet colour. She wears a oversized red sweater with a smiley face pin underneath a plain black t-shirt. She also wears beige shorts with white suspenders, blacks knee-high socks with white linings and red sneakers.

Pretty Cure
As Cure Cerise, Erina's hair is arranged in a high ponytail and becomes more shiny. The ponytail is held with her Legendary Crystal as a hair accessory and a golden tiara. Her eyes remain the same colour.

Personality
At the start of the show, Erina is easily described as eccentric and overly passionate of her scientific ideals. She is quick to chase after answers in order to fill her taste of knowledge and won't hesitate to involve others around for her own selfishness. This is seen when she persistently goes after Aine and the rest to join the Astronomy Club because its lack of members. She has also shown to be irrational to anything non-scientific or logical, following her dismissiveness to miracles and fairytales.

Although Erina has no trouble interacting with friends, she does have trouble actually making them. This could have been a result of her having been totally deniable to people's thoughts that differ then her, as well as interacting more with her previous seniors in the Astronomy Club. Regardless, both her and Aine find themselves to be similar because of their introverted natures.

Erina is an intellectual individual that aspires to become an astronomer when she grows up. Thus working towards her dream of studying stars and the universe which is an even greater mystery then the world she lives in. She has always been curious and learns better with written information and documentations. This trait contrasts with her adaptability, for she is quite capable of forming attack plans with the group in order to take down stronger foes.

Erina is extremely fond of books, as she always brings a large collection of books with her to the club room and reads them frequently. She tends to show no interest in the discussions at hand, especially when she is engrossed in her books, but will interrupt anything that catches her eyes. Additionally, Erina is a sucker to cheesy-love stories such as romance manga and can be caught up in her delusion at times. She enjoys teasing others accordingly on possible relationships and is always shipping her friends with each other. However, Erina is completely oblivious to her own love life as well.
