Personality: Soft-spoken and well mannered, she has an amazing amount of patience and a slow boiling temper. She has a habit of throwing herself into exceedingly dangerous situations.

History: Her mother raised her in a mountain cabin. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the island due to the painful memories there. Ermina took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up bastard sword and armor she uses now. She now has a substantial network of resources ranging from contacts to ships to peers.
