Erstin Cosplay

She is one of Arika's roommates and a good friend of Nina Wáng, as well as being the 17th Coral in her class. She is sweet, friendly, and often quiet. Hailing from the country of Annan, her parents are wealthy enough to pay her hefty tuition fees. She and Irina serve as Akane's room attendants.
Erstin harbors romantic feelings for Nina, which was most evident in episode 6. During a pool scene, a creature was swimming around tickling the girls. Erstin thought it was Nina who was behind her and told her that if it's her, she's fine with it. When Nina nearly drowns, Erstin performed CPR on her in a rather affectionate way.
Erstin quickly acquainted herself with Arika Yumemiya and didn't hesitate to help her in the best ways possible. She comforted Arika who at the time was being plagued by thoughts about her love towards Sergay. Erstin herself knew she wasn't as strong as Nina or Arika, so she did her best to support them in the best ways possible.
During episode 16, Erstin found out that Tomoe Marguerite was responsible for the many strange accidents that Arika was suffering from. When Tomoe was about to drop acid on her, Erstin shoved Arika out of the way and took the shot and fortunately suffered minor injuries. Strangely, she did not speak out.
When Schwarz launches an attack on Windbloom, Erstin is revealed to be a spy and agent of Schwarz and uses a sickle wielding Slave. Smith, a Schwarz agent, orders her to kill Arika, but she hesitates because of their friendship. Unfortunately, she is killed when Nina (who had just activated her Meister Robe) tries to attack Arika. She commands her Slave to block the assault and as a result, it is destroyed by Nina's attack, ending her life. While Arika was reluctant to fight Nina before, Erstin's death serves as a trigger that changes Arika's view and results in the beginning of a rivalry between the two girls.

Changing the World with Community Investing

CHICAGO, Illinois, August 27, 2007 (ENS) - In 1973, ShoreBank pioneered the concept that a bank focused on lending in underinvested minority communities could help reinvigorate local economies, making a profit while creating a better future for the neighborhoods it serves. Thirty-four years later, the practice of community development banking has come of age.



ShoreBank now invests more than $1 million each day in community development and conservation loans. In addition, 62 community development banks across the country now work toward the same goals. Like ShoreBank, these institutions engage in the practice of community development banking, providing residents and businesses in communities often ignored by traditional banks with access to fairly priced, equitably underwritten credit products.

The socially responsible investment community is a critical resource of capital for community investing. In response to the Social Investment Forum's challenge to socially responsible investors to place one percent of SRI assets in community investing, investments at Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) have nearly quintupled from the $4 billion identified by the Social Investment Forum a decade ago.

Between 2003 and 2005, investment in CFDIs grew by 40 percent to $19.6 billion, according to the Social Investment Forum's 2005 Report on Socially Responsible Investing Trends in the United States.
