A/N; I really thought that Erica would be hard because we know so little about her but she turned out to be quite fun to write. I also have the next chapter in my notebook so hopefully I will get time to type it up soon. If not then I would like to wish you all a happy Easter!

Erica Hahn

1. Her grandfather died from a heart attack when she was young. She then promised to devote her life to make sure other people could get healthy hearts so they didn't have to die.

2. She was raised by her dad most of her life. He was tough on her and most of the time she hated him.

She does feel that he would be proud of her now though. After all the 'Mc Hardcore' nickname is all his work.

3. As an intern she messed up during a routine operation. No matter how hard her teacher tried the young boy's life could not be saved.

Erica has never truly forgiven herself for that.

4. She always saw herself as second best during her intern and resident years. There was never a day that Preston Burke did not beat her at something. She used to hate him for it.

Then she got his job in Seattle and for once she didn't mind being second best. After all this was still her dream job.

5. She quite obviously dislikes Christina Yang but that does not mean she thinks Christina won't be a good doctor. She simply wants her to work for it. In the end Erica is sure she is doing the younger woman a favor.

6. She often comes across as cold, determined and in a way flawless. It wasn't always like that. When she was younger she was the girl who followed in her friends footsteps.

It wasn't until she was 17 that she started her own path. The same path so many now followed simply because of her.

7. She always had thought Preston had joked about the many scandals at Seattle Grace.

Now she realized it was much worse then she ever could have imagined.

8. The true reason she picked Izzie over Christina was that she still had the Denny incident fresh in her mind. I guess you could say she was intrigued by the blonde woman who risked everything for love.

Still she does keep a close eye on her – after all she wouldn't want her to kill another patient.

9. She never planned on getting friends in Seattle. She simply wanted to do her job and go home. That way no one would get hurt if she decided this place was not for her.

She did break her own rule when it came to Callie though. After all everyone needs someone to grab a drink with after a hard day in surgery.

10. There is obviously some attraction between her and mark. She really does like the guy but most of all she loves making him work for her attention…
