Eric Lyndon[2] (voiced by Justin Shenkarow) is Hay Lin's crush. He is a new kid in Heatherfield who lives with his grandfather, Zacharias. At first, Hay Lin admires him from a distance, later deciding to talk to him. Eric was thought a cutie by many girls at school and two cheerleaders fought over him constantly, when he liked neither. This made it difficult for Hay Lin to talk to him, but she eventually manages to. He was put under a spell by Nerissa to taunt Hay Lin and break her spirit. When he wakes up from the spell, his first comments are "Where am I? And how did I get this golden tan?" He then notices Hay Lin got braces, which she says are ugly, but he reassures her by saying that they're "so shiny!". Eric is convinced by Uriah to join the Dunnsters, as he is good at playing the saxophone. Hay Lin thinks that he has a musical name, and gets very nervous when he's around. The result of this is that she once accidentally turned invisible and made her bike float in mid air. Eric saw both these things, but seemed to think they were illusion. Eric has shiny black hair and dark eyes.
