[[File:Character Image.jpg|framed|right|Caption]]▼
▲Erma is the main character and is what you would get if you combined a demon from a horror movie and a little girl. She takes after her mother.
▲{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adorable Abomination]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Whenever Amy or Connor are threatened, Erma goes [[Badass Adorable]].
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]] (verging on [[Blinding Bangs]]): Her hair is usually this or flat out covers her whole face. Occasionally her mouth is visible while neither of her eyes are. Comes with being a [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]], so [[Hereditary Hairstyle|both Erma and her mother have them]]. And they do their best to stay put - one year while trick-or-treating, Erma needed to use a bear trap to keep them held back.▼
* [[
* [[Guilty Pleasures]]: She's a fan of "Warrior Unicorn Princess", and feels no small amount of [[Animation Age Ghetto|shame at the thought of her classmates finding out]] - until {{spoiler|she discovers it's something she has in common with Sidney}}.
* [[Undeathly Pallor]]: Even in the colour strips, Erma is drawn in black-and-white. (For an example, see [https://tapas.io/episode/262934 Erma Strip # 20].)▼
▲* [[Hair Tropes]]: [[Peek-a-Bangs]] (verging on [[Blinding Bangs]])
* [[The Voiceless]]: The one time Erma gets a speech bubble in the first 250 strips, it has no words in it. It does have pictures, though.▼
* [[Poltergeist (trope)|Poltergeist]]: Erma has poltergeist powers, which make her trips to the dentist frightening to everyone involved.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Her hair doesn't always respond to her conscious desires even when she's calm, and when she's frightened, or when her friends are in danger, she tends to cause more collateral damage than she might have intended when she's clear-headed.
▲* [[Undeathly Pallor]]: Even in the colour strips, Erma is drawn in black-and-white. (For an example, see [https://tapas.io/episode/262934 Erma Strip # 20], reproduced above.)
▲* [[The Voiceless]]: Although she can skreetch quite well. The one time Erma gets a speech bubble in the first 250 strips, it has no words in it. It does have pictures, though.

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by Erma's teacher include:}}
* [[The Chew Toy]]: She's the only regular character who isn't [[Genre Savvy]]. In any other horror story, she'd be one of the earliest victims; in this story, she's the put-upon Everyman who the strip's fans have sympathy for.
