Line 1: {{work}} {{Under Construction}} [[Image:Erma Strip 20.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|right\|From left to right: Miko, Amy, Erma, Sylvia, and Sidney]] Many of the characters from ''[[Erma]]'', currently listed in rough order of first appearance.▼ == Erma Williams ==▼ ▲Many of the characters from ''[[Erma]]'', currently listed in rough order of appearance. ▲== Erma == [[File:Erma - characters - Erma.jpg\|framed\|right\|An unusual view - she's walking, not levitating.]] 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. Her birthday is October 13. {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Erma include:}} * [[Adorable Abomination]] * [[Berserk Button]]: Whenever Amy or Connor are threatened, Erma goes [[Badass Adorable]]. * [[Culture Clash]]: Erma thinks slasher films are the height of comedy. * [[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 ~~Sydney~~Sidney}}. * [[Hair Tropes]]: [[Peek-a-Bangs]] (verging on [[Blinding Bangs]]), [[Hereditary Hairstyle]], [[Expository Hairstyles]], [[Curtains Match the Window]], [[Magic Hair]], [[Prehensile Hair]], [[Hair Reboot]]. Her hair usually leaves one eye exposed, but shifts to cover both eyes when she's being particularly eldritch. Occasionally her mouth is visible while neither of her eyes are. Comes with being a [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]], so 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. Erma's [[Prehensile Hair]] is strong enough to pick up a classmate... or [[Mugging the Monster\|drag a much larger monster back into the trap it tried to set for her]]. * [[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. Line 22: == Erma's teacher == [[File:Character Image.jpg\|framed\|right\|Caption]] :''Voiced by Cecilia Negron in the 2017 Halloween special'' IMDB says her name is Ms. Bierly. {{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. * [[A Day in the Limelight]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6QpFgxwzQE The 2017 Halloween special.] <br clear="all" /> Line 29 ⟶ 32: == Amy == [[File:Character Image.jpg\|framed\|right\|Caption]] (the one with the pigtail) Erma's closest friend. {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Amy include:}} <br clear="all" /> == Sylvia == [[File:Erma - characters - Sylvia.jpg\|framed\|right]] Line 53 ⟶ 57: <br clear="all" /> == ~~Erma's~~Emiko ~~mother~~Williams == [[File:Character Image.jpg\|framed\|right\|Caption]] ~~{{examples\|Tropes exhibited by~~ Erma's mother ~~include:}}~~. {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Emiko include:}} * [[All There in the Manual]]: Her name is revealed in the novel ''Spirits Bloom'', written by the comic's creator. She's finally named in-story in strip #291, [https://tapas.io/episode/946216 The Family Reunion Part 2]. * [[Blinding Bangs]]: Comes with being a [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]]. * [[Undeathly Pallor]] Line 68 ⟶ 74: <br clear="all" /> == ~~Sydney~~Sidney == [[File:Erma - characters - Sydney.png\|framed\|right]] (the other girl - you know, {{spoiler\|the wererat}}) {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by ~~Sydney~~Sidney include:}} * [[By-The-Book Cop\|By-The-Book Hall Monitor]]: ~~Sydney~~Sidney loves making sure people follow the rules.

Sam is a professional horror writer. {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Erma's father include:}} * [[Write What You Know]]: Discussed in [https://tapas.io/episode/865204 "The Writer"] <br clear="all" /> == Felicia == [[File:Erma - characters - Felicia.png\|framed\|right\|Playing hide-and-seek with Erma takes a special kind of ingenuity.]] Line 97 ⟶ 108: (Erma's pet dog) {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Sirius include:}} <br clear="all" /> == Emily == [[File:Character Image.jpg\|framed\|right\|Caption]] (Erma's cousin - no, she isn't [[Tiny Toon Adventures\|Elmira Duff]], really) {{examples\|Tropes exhibited by Emily include:}} [[Category:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]
