With regards to your avatar, keep it: if you liked Catherine as I did, Erica is a good character design, even if she was a pretty minor character. 


Eh, I was just screwing around. I've been with Erica avatar for a while now, with small changes. After this thread, I feel like going back to Erica again is a good option!

 

Besides, Erica is that kind of character I'd like to go out on a date with.

 

And, err, I assume you already know this, but in case you do not, Erica is actually a transsexual.

I'm sure there are more, but that's only the second instance I'm aware of where a video game story writer saw it fit to specify that a character is transsexual. 

Most know about Poison from Final Fight and the reason why she was described by the creators at Capcom as being transsexual to avoid being called out for male on female violence back in the 90s, which is entertaining, seeing as how the first home version of the game for the SNES had sprite swaps to literally turn Poison into a male. 

I don't think it really matters unless it's a part of the story, but judging by the responses in this thread, there are people who still do.
