Eri is the mentor and a sort of mother figure of Team Star. When Team Star was created one year and a half prior to the beginning of the player character's journey, she helped the other bosses train their Pokémon and acted as a mediator when arguments broke out. On the outside Eri appears aggressive and hardcore, but deep down she means no harm.

The reason why she joined the team in the first place is due to the other students at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV choosing Eri as the target of their harassment and bullying due to their jealousy after she had become the new class queen; Eri was deemed by her peers as a great Trainer, very athletic, and pretty. Despite the cruel nature of the bullies, Eri shows her soft side by befriending the instigator of the rumors, Carmen. Carmen was the former queen of the class and started the rumors to reinstate her position, but was instead targeted next by the bullies. Eri helped Carmen by explaining her empathy as a former victim of bullying and inviting Carmen to join Team Star as a grunt. As a result, Carmen began to appreciate Eri's kind nature and accepted Eri's invitation.

Atticus gave Eri the title, the great Infernal Eri, in a flashback, and Carmen calls her Riri, which is a nickname.

When Eri is first encountered guarding the entrance to the Caph Squad base, she wants to fight the player character herself, but has to be convinced by Carmen to defend the squad from the inside. After being defeated, Eri admits she felt she could take on anything, no matter her mood, and says that looking at her own badge makes her feel strong.

In addition to the Star Badge, Eri gives out TM167 (Close Combat) after defeating her.
