The irresistible force meets the immovable object--only we're not quite sure which is which.

Author's note, Erin Hopps.

Erin Hopps has been through a lot of changes since her introduction in an earlier series of stories. (See the Furry City tales) Originally she was a Corsac fox named Erin Marsh, and much more insecure than she is in her current incarnation; originally she was a nice girl who hung out with the popular girls as at school. Very much against her nature, she often went along with some of the popular girls nastier escapades in order to win their acceptance. The leader of the popular girls, a lynx named Amanda Kaine sometimes made Erin her tool.

I was never entirely comfortable with Erin's personality in that incarnation. She was too much like the damsel who only needs the right guy in her life to put things right. When I decided to introduce her into the Fire Triangle Story line she became a much more independent character, an arctic vixen who is much closer in character to who she is now. Once again, I wasn't satisfied; she was too much of a walk-on character who wasn't really all that important to the story.. Changing her to a bunny and making her Judy's younger sister would, I felt, allow her to become a much more integral part of the plot

Erin's current persona takes a lot of inspiration from the 'Hormone Monstress' episodes of the Netflix series Big Mouth. (And in fact there's an Easter-egg reference in one of Conor's lines.) If you haven't seen Big Mouth, check it out; it's screechingly funny-but be warned, a lot of what's in this series is NSFW, use of the F-word, to cite one example.

One thing that's always remained constant about Erin is her singing voice; she's always been able to belt it out, and will continue to do so in the future.
