Biography
Erika is always made fun of by kids at school and called Irk. She befriends Billy when almost everyone makes fun of him. She then bumps into Billy in the halls and asks him if his house has a green front door and she tells him that she's trying to figure out where he lives because her house has a red front door with a sign that says Tansy and that her name is Erika Tansy. Billy then tells her that she's making it worse and walks away and she picks a gummy worm up off the floor.

Erika also does archery after school in her backyard and tells Billy that she loved when he threw a worm in Joe Guire's face. When Billy's parents leave Woody in Billy's care on a Saturday, Billy quickly asks Erika to look after him and instructs him not to tell their parents what's going on. She teaches him to make a wish and proceeds to teach Woody a song about dead birds.

When Billy falls to the ground and Erika asks him if he's okay he tells her to go away and calls her a big giant and her feelings are hurt. Later still upset, she calls Billy a rat from her window and Billy tries to explain to her about what is happening. She tells him to make Joe come to school with worms in his pants.

Later that evening, she hits an arrow on a tree with a worm on it and after the boys cheer she says "Boys are so weird."
