Erma Shepherd, usually simply called Shepherd, is the captain of the Rescue Corps in Pikmin 4. She is Oatchi's trainer and leads the group's mission. She is the second member of the Rescue Corps found in the tutorial, being found holding onto a pole in the Burrow of Beginnings surrounded by 3 Bulborb Larvae; defeating the Bulborb Larvae will let Shepherd come down from the pole to join the rookie Rescue Officer and Collin. In the Rescue Command Post, talking to Shepherd lets the player spend Oatchi's Pup Drive to train Oatchi and unlock new abilities. Although Shepherd is not playable in the main story, the first player can choose to play as her in Dandori Battle mode; the same applies to Collin.

Personality and appearance[edit]

Shepherd has a egg-shaped head, long ears, dark skin, and blonde hair styled in a bun with a long curl on the side. She also wears a bandana that matches her spacesuit color and has blue grease paint under her eyes.

Shepherd takes a lot of interest in dogs, being the one who trains Oatchi and other Rescue Pups. She is eager to talk about the good attributes of dogs, as seen when Olimar occasionally talks about his own dog. Though she has a love for animals, Shepherd has a contrasting view on the Pikmin at first, being rather frightened of them. Later in the game, she seems to warm up a bit to the Pikmin, showing sadness when they die. Shepherd is straightforward and commanding. Her perspective seems to be very surface level, such as not questioning the morals of the game's antagonist in favor of repeatedly ordering the player to catch them. Her impulsivity and anxiety can hinder her role as a captain. Her apprehensive yet headstrong persona provides contrast to the humble, tranquil Collin.

-Shepherd takes a lot of interest in dogs, which makes sense as she is the one who trained Oatchi. Funnily enough, when Olimar starts to talk about his dog with Shepherd, she gets very excited going on about about how loyal and kind these creatures are. Through she has a love for animals Shepherd has a contrasting view on Pikmin at first. During the beginning of ''Pikmin 4'', she hide herself upon a pole as the captain is deathly frightened of the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. This is quite a distinction from previous captains of Pikmin: Olimar and Charlie. The blond is also the first captain to not be playable in the main story. She is only a chose-able character in the Dandori battle Co-op mode. Later in the game, she seems to warm up. To the Pikmin. Even showing sorrow if the [[the player]]'s Pikmin end up dying. Shepherd seems to be very straight- forward and commanding. Her perspective seems to be very surface level, to illustrate when the rescues corps find the antagonist, Shepherd never questions why this person would do such a thing. Shepherd straight up keeps convincing the player to “catch them!”. Her impulsivity and anxiety can hinder her role as a captain. Her apprehensive headstrong persona is a contrast to the humble tranquil Collins. For example, when the Pikmin start to play with oatchi after the tutorial, Shepherd hides behind Collin in fear. The communications operator assures Shepherd that the Pikmin are harmless. In addition, Collin actually questions while showing empathy for the antagonist and their reasons, unlike Shepherd’s more “blind” take on them. Collin and Shepherd are both responsible in helping the player character in their mission. And also there will be their dialogue boxes the most in the day explorations. Shepherd Is the only helping character that playfully taunts the player.
