===Summary===
===Summary===
Kate is a former CAS Navy SEAL. She came from a military family. She is proud, but feels like she lives in her father's shadow. She left South Carolina soon after her discharge to make her own name in the world.
Erika is the embodiment of the phrase "The best defense is a good offense". All her life has been spent beating up Matrix bullies and Corpo goons that go after her and those like her. This has earned her online fame as someone who stands up to the G Men, and sticks up for her kind thought the world.


Her service career was exemplary, but her father was an Admiral and he often overshadows her.
Erika doesn't want to cause chaos and anarchy for the Matrix at large. She stands against the Corpo control, and GOD's iron hand that controls the Matrix. Her Paragon guides her on this path. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and while Erika is not beyond causing damage to her enemies she rarely wants to see anyone severely injured or dead. She'll brick decks all day and cause a little biofeedback here and there but usually stops when the other guy can't fight back.


Kate specialized in tactical insertions, amphibious ops, diving and underwater demolitions. Her marksmanship skills are excellent, but her specializations are Automatics and Heavy Weapons.
===Goals===
Erika's biggest glaring fault is experience. Growing up she had no real education as a Technomancer. Her hacking skills are on point, but the other aspects, including dealing with sprites, needs some work.


She once got to participate in a PR exchange program where she and 11 others went to Moscow for 3 months. She learned new fighting styles from the Red Army, and picked up some specialized skills there.
==Background==
Erika is the orphaned daughter of SEAL Third Class Daniel Rawlings of the CASN, and Lieutenant Patricia Rawlings of the CASAF. Her mother died in an incident involving undercover MCT shock troops off the coast of England, who were there to assassinate a high ranking Royal Navy Officer. They failed, but casualties on both sides were large. Erika was 4 at the time.


When she was 29, she became infected with HMHVV III. Her team boarded a vessel that had gone dark off the coast of Virginia. Turns out everyone onboard was a ghoul. Out of 8 SEALS that went in, 2 came out. Her PO1, who was fine, and Kate, who had been exposed. She fought off the infection but became a carrier. It made her sort of a pariah, but allowed her to become more specialized, being able to fight those infected with the Krieger Strain without the risk of consequence.
She was 9 when her father died. It was an incident on a cargo ship in the Atlantic. His team was sent to investigate a suspicious vessel that had gone dark. The vessel turned out to be crawling with Strain III infected. The whole team was KIA except for the lead SEAL and their Commander. This lead SEAL, we know as [[Katherine Tyler]]. Coincidence...?


Her original Fixer, Alice Kane, knows that she is an HMHVV carrier. Kate goes to great lengths to protect others from it. She usually wears gloves everywhere, and social distances as appropriate to the situation.
Turns out not. Kate is an old family friend. Erika doesn't hold her responsible for what happened. She knew the last thing Kate would ever want was for someone to get hurt. It was a colossal fuck up, and Kate wears it still to this day. In fact, Erika's desire to stick up for others came from Kate's values.


===Goals===
Erika emerged when she was just three years old. Her parents being Special Forces in their respective military branches knew the implications of this right away. Born so soon after the Second Matrix Crash, they worried for her, but knew that this was a great opportunity for her to learn young and be exposed to the new network going up around the world. After her mother died, her father tried her best. His best friend, [[Katherine Tyler]] helped out as best she could. Kate's mom was also there for help. Erika seemed to be turning out pretty good. She grew up with less of a feminine influence in her life.
Kate wants to move on from the Navy and establish her career for her life. She wants to one day run her own shipyard, but realizes that is a lofty goal.


She seeks to find more people to expand her social circle. Her experience in the military makes it hard, and she thinks that she'll find people easier on the Shadowhaven.
After her father's death it was a little different. She went to live at the Tyler's estate until she was 18. It took many years for Kate to come back to normal after her father's death. Kate blamed herself for what happened. But Erika couldn't find it in her heart to hold any animosity towards her. It was a horrible failure that Kate lives with to this day. She bears her own scars that she will carry for the rest of her life.


Always she seeks to improve her skills. She left the Military behind, but wants to work as a contractor. Shadowhaven is becoming her way into that life. She hopes to one day aquire a reputation to rival her father. Not out of malice but to move out form under his shadow.
Two years ago Kate retired. Weeks after, she moved out to Seattle to work as a freelancer. Three weeks ago Erika followed her. That was back in August.


==Background==
Now Erika follows in her footsteps. Offering herself as a new Shadowrunner on the Haven. She spends most of his time browsing the stacks at the Seattle Public Library. She spends her off time cutting a (virtual) rug at Dante's. She spends her time in the Shadows investigating leads, and finding Corporate Deckers to beat up.
Kate was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Her father was an Admiral in the CAS Navy and former Captain of an SSVN, and her mother served in the CAS Airforce. Kate joined the CAS Navy when she was 17. Initially, she signed up as a Navy Diver, but her high aptitude and technical skills opened up more dangerous jobs. She volunteered for the SEALs when she was 19, completing training a year later.
 
She had a long and prestigious career in the Navy. She achieved the rank of PO1, retiring after 20 years of service. Her constant desire to strive for greatness led her to acquire more and more cyber and bioware. She has sculpted her body to have many subtle but important enhancements. Anything she lacks she makes up for with her skills and training.
 
She moved to Seattle after this to work as a civilian contactor. A friend who moved there said she might find work. Initially she thought to contract to the UCAS Navy, but found them annoying to work for. Plus they didn't seem to like her due to her previous employment in the CAS Navy. She receives a pension from the Navy, but donates 100% of it to a charity fund dedicated to wounded and disabled soldiers and veterans. She doesn't even count this income as hers at this point.
 
She soon discovered the life of Shadowrunning to supplement her income. Plus she wanted the excitement since civilian life is so boring.

Summary

Erika is the embodiment of the phrase "The best defense is a good offense". All her life has been spent beating up Matrix bullies and Corpo goons that go after her and those like her. This has earned her online fame as someone who stands up to the G Men, and sticks up for her kind thought the world.

Erika doesn't want to cause chaos and anarchy for the Matrix at large. She stands against the Corpo control, and GOD's iron hand that controls the Matrix. Her Paragon guides her on this path. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and while Erika is not beyond causing damage to her enemies she rarely wants to see anyone severely injured or dead. She'll brick decks all day and cause a little biofeedback here and there but usually stops when the other guy can't fight back.
