Erina is best described as a privileged and pampered girl. Because of her high class status and her rare ability "God's Tongue", she deems almost everything and everyone as plebeians in her "perfect world". Despite her young age, she is a prominent figure in the culinary world. Using her "God's Tongue" she has earned a bit of infamy in the culinary industry, as any dish that she deems unsatisfactory will spell the end of any chef's career. Her reputation is so well known, her name alone is able to scare off amateur chefs within seconds. At the same time though, Erina's influence attracts many in her class to her due to her beauty, prestige, and unrivaled skill.

Erina's upbringing, which gave her only the best the culinary world had to offer, resulted in a superiority complex. Because she is used to having only the best standard quality dishes, she often makes hasty judgement about simplistic dishes without ever considering them worthy of her time. Even if said dishes are delicious, Erina's pride immediately denies them from her "perfect world." She has spiteful tendencies as any person who ruins her image and demeanor immediately becomes a target for her. Erina likes to flaunt her titles and status over her less privileged classmates, mostly towards her main rival and antagonist, Souma Yukihira.

Despite her prideful nature, she does have a soft side, but this has only been shown whenever her idol, Jouichirou Saiba, is on her mind. She lacks common teenage girl behaviors, such as romances and relationships. She considers a girl walking home together with a boy and even a couple holding hands as "shameless". She does not know how to handle free time as a "normal girl" would and, as Alice would say, she lacks common sense. For example, she has no clue where to buy Shoujo manga because Hisako always buys them for her and they are not found in her grandfather's study. Still, Erina does have some traits of a normal girl, including her liking towards shoujo manga.
