Erica Anderson is a fictional character in the 2011 video game Catherine. She is a transgender woman, and her portrayal was considered controversial by Western audiences. She is a confidant to the protagonist, Vincent Brooks, working for the Stray Sheep bar, who, like her, suffers from potentially fatal nightmares. She is portrayed by Erin Fitzgerald in English and Junko Minagawa in Japanese.
Erica received mixed reception; her treatment in Catherine and Catherine: Full Body as a trans woman was generally negative by the games and their characters, including the first game deadnaming her. One particular criticism was over Full Body, where in one ending, she is shown to not undergo gender transition, though as one critic noted, she may still intend to do so.
