Biography

Erica Blandelli.

Erica Blandelli (Japanese: エリカ・ブランデッリ, Hepburn: Erika Buranderi) was a female human born in Milan as a daughter of the Blandelli family where she was a direct descendant of an unknown Campione whose illegitimate son was the Commander-in-Chief of the Copper-Black Cross magic society that was descended from the Knights Templar. Due to unknown circumstances, she was separaed from her parents and came to be raised by her only living relative who was Paolo Blandelli who was the reigning Great Knight and field leader of their society. When she was two years old, she was noted to had met Liliana Kranjcar where the two grew up alongside one another where they considered each other both friends as well as rivals. Erica trained as a knight of Copper-Black Cross and eventually gained her knighthood at the age of twelve. It was shortly after that when she first met the Campione Salvatore, Doni, and later gained her magic sword, Cuore di Leone.

She and the other knights discussed who would be handed the Grimoire known as the Gorgoneion. Erica made the suggestion to hand it to Godou the rumored new Campione and to prove his worth, she volunteered herself to fight him. That night, Godou finally met Erica and started complaining to her about many things. Godou followed Erica to their battleground. Once there, their observers and arbitrators of their battle, three Great Knights of other knightly orders, signal them to fight. The battle started with Godou 'retreating' and then later cornered, and then finally Godou retaliated and won the battle. Of course, during the battle, a large portion of the Roman Colosseum was destroyed by Godou summoning the Boar. Before Godou went back to Japan, Erica gave the Grimoire to Godou to take back with him. A few days later, Erica suddenly appeared in Japan to warn Godou that a Heretic God had just arrived in Japan because of the Grimoire; with Erica's suggestion to the Japanese Miko, Yuri Mariya, they discovered that this Heretic God was Athena. Godou and Erica then confront Athena, only to be setback by Godou's naivete in believing there might be a peaceful outcome. The result was Athena giving Godou a literal kiss of death; fortunately, his Campione magical resistance allowed him to survive long enough for his Authority, the Ram, to restore his health. Once recovered, Godou and Erica were off to confront Athena again. With a little help from Yuri to summon them by using one of Godou’s Authorities, Godou and Erica just arrived when Athena powered up using the Grimoire. Godou then engaged Athena in combat with Erica’s support and in the end, won the battle; though not without a considerable amount of collateral damage to their surroundings. Godou then let the weakened Athena go, despite the objections of Erica and Yuri. Two days later, Erica greeted Godou in front of the school and told him that she just transferred in and then Yuri arrived at the scene and they started having an argument with Godou in between them praying to God.

Godou, Erica, and Yuri go about with their daily school life and routines. While Godou and Erica were going home, they were interrupted by a member of the History Compilation Committee, Amakasu Touma, and told that Yuri had been kidnapped by Voban, another Campione. Godou and Erica immediately headed toward where Yuri and Voban were. Once they got there, they were greeted by undead servants and Liliana, an old acquaintance of Erica's. Liliana escorted them to Voban where they first had a peaceful chat with each other which was going nowhere. Erica then stepped into the conversation and she soon provoked the old Campione into doing something. The provoked Voban, stating that he would play a little game in which he was the hunter and they were the prey, and he would let them have a 30-minute head start. While using this opportunity, Godou and the rest retreated; while Godou was taking Yuri to a safer place, Erica fought off the many undead servants created by Voban, as well as Liliana. Fortunately, Erica recruited Liliana to their side by using Liliana’s personality against her and blackmailing her. Godou finally returned to the scene and confronted Voban and they battled it out. The battle ended with Voban having the advantage if the battle continued. However, Voban claimed the loss because of not being able to capture Yuri safely. Before he left, Voban stated that he was now Godou’s enemy. Summer is approaching as Erica plans to spend time with Godou, whilst he planned to avoid her.
