When I started watching the series, I had this doubt. As the three seasons went by, I came to the conclusion that she was simply a woman.

There was a character in the Fallout series, Dane, and I completely missed the fact that they were non-binary. I thought they were more of a tomboy character, but no—the character is non-binary, and the actor is a trans man, if I'm not mistaken.

I want to know if I was the only one who thought Erica might be the same case.

It's weird to say because I usually try not to make assumptions about people, but sometimes I feel rude for not noticing these things sooner.

Her behaviour, a little bit the short hair but more the way she act, I was expecting in one episode to hear something like "My pronouns are they". Also, even if I saw the serie on english, I give more attention to the spanish subtitles, so pronouns are used slightly different.

It was my fault for having my doubts, but also when I didn't in first season of Fallout series it was actually trans, I'm wrong of don't saw it before?
