Ericka Van Helsing

Ericka Van Helsing is the love interest of Dracula and the former secondary antagonist in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.

When Dracula first sets his eyes on Ericka he "zings" with her, causing him distress as he believe a zing was a once in a lifetime occurrence but she was not in love with him as she was planning to destroy him.

Despite Van Helsing's plan, Ericka makes several attempts to kill Drac like agreeing to go on a date with him but after that date Ericka learned that Drac had never been on a date, ever since his wife had pass away, and Dracula had to raise Mavis on his own and immediately feels sorry for Dracula, and she reveals that she never knew her parents, and only her great-grandfather raise her, and that she had live on the ship all her life.

Dracula reassured Ericka that everything will be okay, and not everything in life is perfect, and they both have to honor the past, but still they do make their own future. Upon these words by Dracula, Ericka began to fall in love with Dracula. Before Drac and Ericka could share a romantic kiss, Mavis interrupted them, making Ericka leave the restaurant.

Dracula followed Erika while she was disguised. At a abandoned throne at Atlantis after escaping traps. After a dance and a moment between Dracula and Ericka, Ericka gets the Instrument of Destruction, but when she grabbed it, the throne room begins to collapse around them. Dracula swooped up Ericka just before a piece of the ceiling almost fell on her.

After their narrow escape out of the throne room, Mavis appeared, looking shock and horrified at the sight of her father being "injured" by Ericka. Anger by this, Mavis uses her powers to lift up the captain and physically restrain her from hurting Dracula.

When Drac reveals that he zinged with Ericka, Mavis was in shock that she dropped Ericka onto the sand and after Ericka pick herself off the sand, she ask Drac and Mavis what a "zing" was. Drac explained that it was a "love at first sight for monsters", but Ericka rejects Drac's feelings by telling him that she could never be with a monster like Drac.

After Ericka heads to see her great-grandfather, she sadly paused for a moment before opening the door, and then she gives the Instrument of Destruction over to her great-grandfather, that Abraham happily celebrates. Meanwhile, Ericka sadly looked out at the ocean, thinking about Drac's words.

After Dracula and Mavis are caught in the Kraken's tentacles, and begins to hurt Dracula, Ericka couldn't bear to watch Drac get hurt, so she jumps off the DJ booth (much to Abraham's shock, and surprise) and onto Tinkles, and, using her martial art skills, kicks the Kraken in the eye, making the large sea creature growl in pain as Ericka watch a lifeless Drac fall from the sky.

Ericka jumps off the massive Tinkles and catches Dracula in mid-air, and they both hang onto a ledge while Ericka tells her great-grandfather that he is wrong about monsters . As Abraham starts to get angry, Ericka confesses to Drac (who still unconscious), that she was trying to kill him, but she realized that she was wrong about killing monsters, and that monsters do love each other. Then she exclaim that she knows all of this because she zinged as well.

At the moment, Drac's eyes open, surprise that Ericka had zinged with him. When Abraham bashes the two people off the ledge, Dracula was holding Ericka, by stating it was time to start a monster-human legacy, while Ericka and Dracula looked romantically into each other's eyes. After defeating her great-grandfather in a DJ battle hosted by Johnny, and the monsters were all dancing to the song "Macarena", Ericka look into Drac's eyes and said to Dracula that he is so amazing, and then Ericka and Dracula zinged again.

She starts to see him as a family man rather than a monster once they get to know each other. During the climax Ericka professes her own love for Drac and rescued him from the Kraken. A month later Drac proposed to her and she accepts. In the final film, Ericka is married to Dracula.
