Remember when all of Twitter went crazy for Shannon Purser's Barb from Season 1 of "Stranger Things"? Well, Nancy's late, lovable BFF has been replaced as the "It Girl" of Hawkins, Indiana by a younger, sassier face: Lucas' kid sister Erica.
Played by Priah Ferguson, Erica Sinclair stole every moment she was on screen in "Stranger Things 2," whether it was calling out her brother (Caleb McLaughlin) for being a total "nerd," overindulging in sweet maple syrup, having her dolls hook up with He-Man, or shutting down Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) for talking too much on his walkie talkie.

View StoryIt was her Priah's no-nonsense character who started popping up all over Twitter as fans furiously binged the new season over the weekend, with many calling on Netflix and The Duffer Brothers to give the feisty kid her own spinoff.
Here's a small sample of all the love fans were heaping on the minor character.

So far my favourite part of Stranger Things 2 is Lucas' little sister Erica. She's a scene-stealer and needs a spinoff! pic.twitter.com/c65LyDMBRK
@zackosborne
Can Lucas's little sister in #strangerthings get a spin off show please? Please and thank you @netflix
@SarahJordanMcG
Stranger Things spinoff idea - anything focusing on Lucas' sister Erica and Keith from the arcade #StrangerThings
@MikeStatement
Need a Stranger Things spinoff about Lucas's little sister NOW. Actually his whole family. His mom and dad are awesome too. pic.twitter.com/NMi5Yyh3lO

Stranger Things spinoff starring Lucas' awesome sister who doesn't take anyone's shit.

When are we getting a Stranger Things spinoff starring Erica? https://t.co/HO0VmtX3IZ
@TehLazyArtist
I have a suggestion for a #StrangerThings spinoff: Steve as the resident babysitter of Hawkins, he does so well, but then he meets Erica...
