Origin
Japan
Erika Furudo is a detective created by Bernkastel to crush the Illusion of the Witch and is a rival to Battler Ushiromiya. She first appears in End of the Golden Witch. Erika has dark blue eyes and hair. She is estimated to be about Jessica's age, but she's more petite. The pink dress she wears is one that actually belongs to Jessica. She has a similar appearance to Bernkastel due to being created in her image. Erika's confidence in her abilities leads her to often underestimate her opponents. She also demonstrates a rather vindictive side to her character during End of the Golden Witch when she informs Battler why she wanted to solve the epitaph in the first place: she wanted to not only sneer at whoever proposed the epitaph's riddle, but to get revenge on Jessica for interrupting her during her solving of the epitaph; she wanted to see the angry and pitiful expression Jessica would likely don upon realizing that Battler stole the headship from her father as well. Her hatred of Battler, similarly, stems from losing to him later on. She clearly delights in the idea of raping Battler's helpless body after forcing him to marry her. In spite of serving Bernkastel, she denies magic and love, though the events of Dawn of the Golden Witch would suggest that her denial of love stems from a past lover's infidelity.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
The affluent Ushiromiya family patriarch, Kinzo, is on his deathbed, and his family has assembled at their private island to discuss the division of his estate. As they bicker over their father's immense inheritance, a typhoon closes in, trapping them on the island. They suddenly receive an eerie word of warning...and then, in the dead of night, the murders begin. One by one, family members are discovered murdered in bizarre and inhuman ways. Some within the family turn to superstition, blaming it on a witch rumored to inhabit the island. But one of them - the young Battler Ushiromiya - refuses to accept the supernatural and vows to uncover the real killer behind the seemingly impossible slaughters. He soon finds himself confronted by the apparent witch, and enters into a life-or-death battle for the truth.
