Eric(a) is the unfortunate protagonist of Magical Camp.
Although originally a tragically unsuccessful human male from Earth, a chance encounter with the Magical Girl Natalie leaves them stranded at Magical Camp, an all-female training camp dedicated to turning candidates with potential into Magical Girls; soldiers in a much larger interdimensional war. With "help" from several of the residents, Eric (now "Erica") must do all they can to keep their true identity a secret long enough that they can find a way back home.
Backstory
Much about Eric(a)'s backstory is shrouded in mystery, with only sporadic but not exactly inconclusive tips about what happened to them in the past. What is clearly stated is that Eric(a) actually has a twin brother who lives with their mother as their parents divorced when Eric(a) and the twin were very young. Eric(a) on the other hand lives with their father, who owns a bakery with a specialization for erotic cakes.
It is eventually revealed that Eric(a) got into trouble with the law through no fault of their own, but rather being involved with a guy named Joel and Joel's unnamed girlfriend. Presumably they framed Eric(a) for the undisclosed crime, which led to a loss of success on Eric(a)'s part and the lamentations seen at the beginning of the game.
Similarly, for some reason Isabelle knows Eric(a), but Eric(a) has no recollection of this, and a revelation is made that Isabelle assumed Eric(a) to be dead during an undefined point in time in the past, only to be surprised to find them alive and well - a meeting cut short due to circumstances outside the two's control.
Personality
Eric(a)'s default personality is timid, as Eric(a) is easily frightened of things like Illusionary Zombies and the like. Being easily overwhelmed by the very real horrors that Magicos like Phantasmalia represent means that, in the beginning, Eric(a) would probably prefer to run away more often than fight. They eventually muster the courage to stand up to monsters and, by the time when the Tomb of Garak is invaded, Eric(a) has overcome their fears for the most part.
On the other hand, Eric(a) can easily switch to anger and use of profanity, perhaps as a kind of coping mechanism to their own initial short-comings in life. This too can change mildly when Eric(a) has success as a magical girl, and eventually learn to accept and even enjoy their new role in life, complications aside. While Eric(a) is most of the time in denial about this, rare moments of direct decision represent the true Eric(a), and give a more conclusive outlook on their personality... whether this means that Eric(a) still wishes to go back to a normal life due to perhaps a yearning for home, depression, or similar, or is becoming comfortable with both the great power and the great responsibility that being a magical girl represents.
Ultimately, of course, Eric(a)'s personality is dependent on the player guiding and protecting them, which means there are nearly as many possible Eric(a)s as there are players of the game.

Skills
As someone that Isabelle says to have "neutral magic" - and the only such person willing to try - Eric(a) is the sole Cutie Knight who can siphon the Magico Cores and gain their effects and new skills. This, in addition to all the other skills taught by other characters, and even Radical Transformation powers, means that by endgame Eric(a) would have amassed a large variety of spells both offensive and supportive, meaning their role in the game is that of a jack-of-all-trades who can adapt to almost any situation.
