Erinn (リッカ, Rikka) is a character in Dragon Quest IX. Initially running the inn at Angel Falls, she is later recruited by Patty to take over her father's old establishment in Stornway, the Quester's Rest.

The story

Angel Falls

She is first seen during the opening scene, walking down the road with her grandfather back to Angel Falls. Unseen, their Guardian, the hero, and his/her mentor Aquila are watching and prevents a group of monsters from harming them. Unlike the other villagers, she believes in the Guardians and issues a prayer, bestowing Benevolessence.

She later discovers the hero at the base of the waterfall after the earthquake, and takes him/her in to recuperate at her house. She is astonished that the mysterious minsrel bore the same name as the Guardian of Angel Falls, but was unaware that it was the same being. The next day, when Ivor and the hero go to investigate the landslide at the pass east of the village, she becomes concerned when she learns that a "Patty" from Stornway went missing in The Hexagon ruins, having remembered her father mentioning the name. To ease her concerns, the hero goes to the ruins to rescue the woman.

Back at Angel Falls, Patty tries unsuccessfully to convince Erinn to take over her father, Edwinn's, inn in Stornway, believing she has her father's talent. That night, the hero recovers Edwinn's "Inny" award with the help of his ghost. Erinn's grandfather reveals that because she was quite a sickly girl when she was younger, Edwinn had moved to Angel Falls so she could drink from the healing waters. Erinn decides to accept Patty's offer after realizing how much her father sacrificed for her.

After the pass is cleared by King Schott's soldiers, Erinn and Patty leave for Stornway, inviting the hero to visit her at theQuester's Rest.

Stornway

At the Quester's Rest, the other employees are highly skeptical that the young girl could salvage their business, until Erinn presents her father's Inny award. Once Erinn gets settled in, Patty suggests hiring the hero to help promote business for Erinn. For the hero's troubles, she gives him/her an employee discount while staying at the inn.

Later, after the hero settles the Wight Knight affair, Erinn presents the hero with an old alchemy pot that had been left behind by a previous customer as "payment." This allows the hero to undertake alchemical pursuits.

Both she and her father share the suffix -inn, and are highly talented at running inns. After Quest 157 "Inn For A Penny, Inn For An Inny", she becomes available as a party member.
