Erika Scheimer is a retired American voice actress who spent decades working for the animation studio Filmation. Born into the animation industry, she was recruited to perform voice work from an early age. Scheimer is most notably remembered for voicing a range of supporting characters in the science fantasy series "She-Ra: Princess of Power" (1985-1986),including Flutterina, Frosta, Imp, Granita, Loo-Kee, Peekablue, Perfuma, and Queen Angella.
One of Scheimer's earliest roles was voicing Marcia Brady in the second season of "The Brady Kids" (1972-1973),replacing actress Maureen McCormick. She was only 13 years old at the time. She also voiced Susan Turner in "Lassie's Rescue Rangers" (1973),and regular characters Carol and Kim in "Mission: Magic!".
In the 1970s, Scheimer voiced Peepo in the live-action series "Space Academy" (1977),and Wiki in the replacement series "Jason of Star Command" (1978-1979). She also voiced Snow White II in the television special "A Snow White Christmas" (1980),where Snow White II must face the wrath of her step-grandmother the Wicked Queen.
Scheimer's next notable role was voicing one of the main characters in "Hero High" (1981-1982),a series about a school for superheroes. She voiced Brat-Man, whose temper tantrums manifested in seismic and concussive blasts. Scheimer also voiced various minor and incidental characters in "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (1983-1985),but most of them were one-shot characters.
In her later work, Scheimer voiced the sentient elevator Skelevator in "Ghostbusters" (1986),one of her last recurring roles in animation. Filmation shut down in 1989, and its staff was laid off. Scheimer's voice acting career came to an abrupt end, though it was unclear whether she was unable or unwilling to seek other employers.
Over the following decades, Scheimer remained popular within Filmation's fandom, though she rarely offered interviews. In 2007, Scheimer publicly declared her own homosexuality, surprising her fans. She mentioned in a subsequent interview that her homosexuality never bothered her co-workers at Filmation, since the company was gay-friendly. By 2022, Scheimer was 62 years old, making her among the youngest living cast members of Filmation's various series.
