Elrica first appears as a temporary party member during Master of All Chapter 3. To trigger her appearance, travel to Cragspear and head into the Slums, then speak to the nearby NPC to begin her quest.
While exploring the Slums, you’ll encounter guards harassing a leafless woman. After stepping in to help, El the Swordsman arrives to back you up. Defeat the guards in battle, and Elrica will then join your party temporarily.
Elrica Character Profile and How to Recruit

It’s fine to give temporary allies good weapons or accessories to boost their performance, especially for difficult fights. Just make sure to unequip everything before they leave, or you’ll lose that gear permanently.
Temporary allies are usually strong and well-equipped, so don’t play it safe. Use their best skills, spend their SP freely, and let them carry tough encounters while they’re around, there’s no reason to save resources for later when later doesn’t include them
