I disagree. Being badass doesn't just mean kicking ass and killing stuff, part of it is thinking for your self and having courage. Erica was scared, and maybe that's why she wasn't thinking clearly enough to just pull the arrow out, but while Allison was busy being Gerard's personal puppet and refusing, as always, to think for herself, Erica made a decision. She told Boyd to run knowing full well that if he left her behind, she'd probably die.

She made that decision on her own, without anyone telling her to or trying to guide her to that decision. She also made the decision to leave Derek's pack, guiding Boyd out of the room when she did, on her own. It may have been the wrong decision, but it was still hers. Allison has yet to demonstrate that she can have her own opinion on how to deal with her mother's death without having someone else tell her what her feelings should be, and that is what makes Erica more badass than Allison.
