Brief History:
Erica Nicole Piroma was born the daughter of rich industrialist Luigi Piroma, a native of Piancola, an island far to the south of Welland. He came to Thalland to spread his business. While in Thalland, he met and married Jane Zhivago, who was a middle-class woman, but quite smart and beautiful. They brought up their daughter Erica very well-to-do, and spoiled her rotten, as Luigi’s money could afford. But in Erica’s mind, all the money in the world couldn’t make up for her mother and father. She loved her parents very much. The only thing that Erica loved more than her parents was dancing. She danced soon after she could walk and her father paid for lessons from the best.

But all the money in the world couldn’t protect them from the demons either. Massey was completely destroyed by the demon hoards. Erica was forced to watch her parents burn to death in their home. It was a miracle that Erica survived herself and after the war, she was placed in an orphanage, and then in the care of a foster family. The Piroma fortune was split up and Erica got a miniscule share, which was held by her foster family. She never grew attached to them however. She wasn’t used to living a lower-middle class life and thought of them as peons. She felt a piece of her missing now that her parents were gone.

Erica never really adapted to her new life. She was seen in her neighbourhood as just some spoiled rich girl. She didn’t make any friends, nor did she want them for friends. Finally, when she came of age, she bid good riddance to her foster family and let herself loose upon the world. She took her sliver of her father’s fortune and invested it in a strip club/brothel. She planned on using her dancing skills and her body to her advantage, get enough to make her club big and then get rich again. To this end, she trained herself as a dominatrix, and made her club open for business.

Business to “Lady” Erica’s club, which she called “The SPot”, was slow at first. She managed to find a few girls, but had very few patrons. She noticed with her keen eye, that there was one girl there who was there every day, watching the strip shows and guzzling cheap ale. She approached the girl, who introduced herself as Ute Blasendorf. The two of them became fast friends. Ute mentioned her immortality, and Lady Erica was intrigued. When Ute expressed an interest in stripping, Lady Erica taught her herself. Ute learned quickly and it was her dancing that brought many people to The SPot. Lady Erica was ecstatic at her success, knowing she found a stripper who would never age and continue to rake in the cash. The SPot became very prominent in the Thalland City underground. She was somewhat disappointed when Ute entered the adult film industry, but Ute promised her that she would still strip there as often as possible.

The second demon war has slowed The SPot’s business, even with Ute’s dancing. The two remain good friends and Lady Erica has given part ownership of The SPot to Ute as a token of her appreciation. All she can do is wait for the day the war ends, and then her business will pick up again. In the meantime, there is one patron she enjoys matching wits with, a certain human deity named Bors…
