Emergency Transformation: According to Prospera, Ericht becoming Aerial was a last resort to save her due to her body failing to survive in the harshness of space.Doomed Hometown: At the end of the prologue, she loses not only pretty much everyone she knows, including her father, but also her home colony of Fólkvangr, which gets bombed into oblivion after she and her mother Elnora manage to escape.Several hints throughout the first cour of the story begin to cast doubt on this, and then Episode 14 confirms that the Mercurian redhead the story has been following this whole time is not Ericht, but a separate character entirely it turns out that said 4-year old was turned into a Gundam. Decoy Protagonist: At first, viewers are led to believe that Ericht in the Prologue is simply Suletta before the events of the series proper.Suletta and Elan 4 can both pilot her and even activate her Permet Link, but she rejects Elan 5 with a painful data storm and a warning that he doesn't belong-a feat she then repeats on Suletta in Episode 18 to emphasize that Suletta is no longer the "one" that has been chosen. The Chooser of the One: As she is the consciousness of Aerial, she is the one who decides who is allowed to pilot her and take advantage of the various benefits of a high Permet Score.Dialogue with Prospera implies she did this in the hope Suletta would be able to live her own life freely, taking a page out of Miorine's book from the previous episode. Cruel to Be Kind: Episode 18 has Eri finally directly talk to Suletta only for her to coldly reveal that she is a clone, is not needed anymore, should stop clinging to her and their mother, and ejects her out of Aerial's cockpit into space.Children Are Innocent: She unknowingly sics the Lfrith's Stave Bits on three enemy mobile suits, only recognizing that the three dots on the monitor remind her of candles.While her physical body is long gone, she still exists as Permet particles that survive within the Aerial and effectively functions as its Operating System. Brain Uploading: Her biometric code somehow "synched" with Lfrith's data storm.The options for it being a collection of digital clones or simply fragments of her own mind are equally open. Eri's description of the Witch's Coven (the collection of other "Eris" that appear to inhabit Aerial's bits) makes it uncertain how it relates to her.Episode 14 breaks the ambiguity by having Prospera state outright that Suletta is a separate daughter, and Ericht's mind became the Aerial, transferred from her physical body using the Data Storm. She was initially believed to be Suletta Mercury, but episode 6 casts doubt on this by revealing that the Folkvangr incident was 21 years ago, meaning that she would be 25, while Suletta is 17 there's also a child-like silhouette shown in Aerial's place during Suletta's duel with Elan that vaguely resembles Eri.Ambiguous Innocence: Because Ericht's mind still appears as an eight-year-old, it's hard to tell how much of her behavior is malicious, how much of it is done because she's actually underdeveloped, and how much is just done because her mother told her to.A Birthday, Not a Break: The Prologue takes place on her fourth birthday, the day her home was destroyed and almost everyone she knew was killed.The 4-year-old daughter of Elnora and Nadim Samaya introduced in the Prologue. ![]() ![]() "They look just like candles! Isn't it pretty?"
