Miyashiro Erika Wagner (宮代・エリカ・ワーグナー), more commonly referred as Wagner, is a major character of the 2D anime fighting game series called Under Night In-Birth. She initially debuted in the Exe:Late expansion, then later became playable in the console version of Exe:Late[st].
She is a high-ranking 4th member of the Licht Kreis. She is known throughout the organization for her attitude towards her work and unmatched power. She is the main rival of Orie Ballardiae and Londrekia Light.
She is voiced by Shizuka Ishigami, who also voiced Petra Macneary from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Appearance[]
She is a young girl with an average height of 160 cm. She has red crimson eyes and blonde hair styled into two large spiral curls. During combat, she wears a red cape with gold trimmings and embellished with the Licht Kreis symbol, a long-sleeve white shirt and dark grey, form-fitting spats, and knee-length, white lipped high heel boots.
Personality[]
At first, she is shown to be cold and harsh and constantly belittling comments and even outright threatening others on sight when under stress. Despite that, she is actually rather complex, but she doesn't know how to fully express her emotions due to living a mostly sheltered life. She can also be analytic and can see how others truly feel just from analyzing their body languages alone.
Abilities & Weapons[]
- Flame Tyrant: Her EXS ability, it allows her to manipulate fire to her will, including her sword and shield channeling with it.
- Fire Brand: Her short orange sword with flame-like patterns. Its small size and light weight means Wagner can strike at her opponents at quick successions.
- Ancile: Her small circular red shield embellished with the Licht Kreis symbol. Despite the shield primarily for defensive purpose, she would use it to charge and bash her opponents.
Relationships[]
- Murayama and Sakurai: Her two subordinates during her time in Hyde's school after being her superiors to calm herself. They are the only two people Wagner is able to have decent conversation with, given her ice-cold personality.
- Orie Ballardiae: After their sword training, she considered Orie as her bitter rival (although Orie does not see her the same way). Despite their one-sided rivalry, she is willing to team up with Orie in stopping Kuon from bringing ruins to the world.
- Gordeau: After she killed his best friend Roger with no remorse, Gordeau developed a self-hatred and guilt for not saving his friend. He vowed to seek revenge on Wagner and hopefully find some closures.

- Both are portrayed as one of more serious characters in their respective series.
- Both are born and grew up in a strict family and eventually served their respective organization without much questions (Licht Kreiss and Novus Orbis Librarium).
