As Zepka said, Erzulie is the softest of all the Gods. It will be important for your sister to find a way of portraying this while still making her strong enough to be a Goddess. Perhaps Erzulie's most powerful moment is during "Promises" when she stands up and fights against Papa Ge while they are both trying to get Ti Moune to behave the way they hope she will. All of Erzulie's previous actions should lead up to this climactic moment.

Erzluie is also sort of in "control" of Ti Moune's actions. It is her idea, afterall, to test the strength of love versus the power of death. Asaka and Agwe both facilitate certain aspects of Ti Moune's journey, but it is Erzulie who ultimately guides Ti Moune's heart.

Hope this helps a little bit!
