She developed a deep bond with Peri that the two likened to sisterhood. In the relationship, Peri often played the role of the "older" sister, since Erimem was only 17 or younger when she started travelling with the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood and Hope (novel)|Blood and Hope]]'') Peri often served as a kind of bridge between Erimem's ancient past and the more modern world inhabited by the Doctor.

Erimem was intellectually curious and, oddly for a [[Pharaoh]] who was said to be a [[god]], mostly irreligious. She generally professed that she did not believe in Egyptian gods, and instead favoured scientific investigation. She was inclined to believe, for instance, some of the very earliest scholarship which asserted that the world was round. Indeed, when she gave up her claim on the Egyptian throne to travel with the Doctor, the original plan was that he would take her to a university of some kind.
