Erica Jones is a main character in My Babysitter's a Vampire. She's Sarah's best friend and became a vampire in the film. She is a former love interest of Gord, however, he backed off because Jesse was interested in her. She is Jesse's ex-girlfriend. As a human, she was a nerd and socially awkward. However, following her transformation, she became amazingly beautiful and full of herself, bullying people who are like she used to be. She is a fan of Dusk, the band Single Tear, and is a senior. Benny and Rory both have crushes on her. Benny first liked her when she was a human, and Rory only showed brief interest in her, only to begin pursuing her following her transformation.

Background[]

As a human, Erica was president of the Dusk Fan Club. She was a nerd and constantly bullied by head cheerleader Stephanie. Originally meant to be Jane's babysitter, she instead goes to a party with Gord in an attempt to prove to Sarah that she's not a good girl. There, Gord bites her and she later feeds on Rory after Sarah hesitates in doing so, becoming a fully-fledged vampire. After her transformation, Erica began to look down on inferior students, bullying people like she used to be. Erica has become much more popular with boys following her transformation and Benny and Rory are both interested in her. Later in the movie, she battles Sarah but the two make up by the end of the film.

Personality[]

Erica's personality in the film was geeky and nerdy, even kind. However, after or being bit, she goes through a huge personality change. She turns into the same kind of popular and mean girl her own bullies were to her. In the series, she became more confident, popular and full of herself, as well as a bully towards others, although she still does have some compassion for her friends even though she rarely admits it.

She has also shown to be very deceitful, using her newly-acquired popularity and abilities at school in order to fool others. Particularly her friends and, more specifically, Rory and Sarah. Since she was bitten, Erica relished in being a vampire, having loved the once fictional species even before learning the truth, and continues to try and strengthen her status as a vampire by constantly feeding on students and practicing her other abilities, like glamour if, although she often fails to uphold the rules of traditional vampirism. She is also very rebellious and does not seem to care very much about the people she feeds on, even if they are hurt or turned in the process of this, and often disregards and scoffs at Sarah’s reluctance to become a vampire, ignoring the fact that Sarah never wanted to be one in the first place and her life was technically ruined because of this. Despite these negative traits, Erica still shows some kindness to her friends, and is more often than not loyal to Sarah, whom she cares about very much.

Relationships[]

Sarah[]

Serica

See Sarica.

Benny[]

Main Article: Bennica

Benny and Erica are not really in a relationship, due to her hatred of him, the 'vampire/mortal' problems, and the fact that Erica has left Whitechapel. Unlike with Rory, Benny is not solely interested in Erica, and has had crushes on other girls. Benny had a crush on Erica before she was transformed.

Rory[]

Main Article: Rorica 

She has a very confusing relationship with Rory, often arguing with or being mean to him, but she has shown a willingness to hang out with him on many occasions, even once kissing him. Erica and Rory tend to spend more time together than with any of the others, due to their lack of conviction for fighting the many undead and monsters. When Erica discovers that Rory also likes the band Single Tear, she, for one minute, begins to talk to him excitedly about them, regaining her composure quickly after realizing her slip-up. At the end of series two, the two of them are kidnapped by Anastasia (by her use of mind-control), and they escape destruction, so it is possible that they may begin/have begun a relationship following the end of the series.
