Eri's understanding and maturity broadened over her years as the Aerial. However, she still remains extremely devoted to her mother and support's Elnora's plans to take revenge against Delling and the Benerit Group. Eri is prepared to use force against anyone who tries to interfere with her mother's plans regardless of her attachment. Despite remaining committed to Elnora's goals, Eri has a deep attachment to Suletta and wishes to keep her from getting involved in their most violent objectives. She frequently speaks to her through the cockpit of the Aerial and does her best to comfort and reassure Suletta in her moments of doubt.
