Eris

* Eris
* Chris

**Eris** (エリス) is the Goddess of Luck responsable for the Parallel World and Aqua's junior in Heaven. While disguised as **Chris** (クリス), she is a thief and a good friend of both Darkness and Kazuma.

## Appearance

Eris has long silvery hair and blue eyes. In the anime, she is depicted with purple eyes and silver hair with a violet tint to it, and portrayed as a slightly older girl. She possesses the physical appearance of a fifteen year-old girl and is stated to be extremely beautiful by many people including Kazuma. Her peers describe her as having a delicate and beautiful face that impresses on them a hint of melancholy. Eris has long silver hair going down to her ankles which has a light purple ombre. She has two long bangs which reach down to her shoulders and an ahoge sprouting from her fringe.

Eris usually wears a purple coif on her head which matches the shade of her purple eyes, as well as a matching white and purple one-piece hagoromo dress with yellow trimmings which goes slightly passed her knees. She also wears purple shoes and white stockings, as well as a necklace with a pink diamond-shaped jewel in its center. She is not very buxom, and as such she usually wears breast pads.

Her appearance as Chris is very similar to her real identity. She is a teenage girl with a light complexion and purple eyes. She has short silver hair and a light purple ombre of a sort. Her hair is longer. She has two strands of hair framing her face with a piece of hair pointing out from her fringe. She wears earrings. Most likely due to her tomboyish and outgoing nature, along with her flat chest and short hair, she is often mistaken for a boy. She does not cover up the small scar on her right cheek like she does as Eris.

Chris usually wears a fairly revealing outfit, an attire common among females of the rogue class. Her outfit consists of a light blue scarf, a short green cape which goes down to her elbows, a pair of black elbow gloves with normal brown gloves layered over them, short blue jean-shorts, white knee-high socks with a blue trimming, brown boots, and a bikini-like grey top. Ever since her first run-in with Kazuma, Chris has worn black leggings in case her panties are stolen again. She also wears diamond-shaped blue earrings and usually has an enchanted dagger fastened to waist at the back.

## Personality

Eris is a goddess role model: kindly, polite, industrious and noble. She always treats everyone with respect and empathy. However, due to her polite behavior, Eris is also a very acquiescent, especially to those above her rank, like her veteran Aqua. For such reason, she can't impose order and is easly intimidated and coerced by her veteran, even letting herself being overworked by doing their both jobs.

As Chris, Eris displays a more cheerful and laid-back side. Although she is usually has good sense, Chris is also mischievous and reckless, trying to outsmart Kazuma and even stealing malicious nobles without thinking about the consequences. She also gets easily upset when frustrated or suffer any type of sexual harassment.

Both sides are, however, her true personality, as Eris is how Chris is at work while Chris is how Eris is at her spare time. As both Eris and Chris, she is also very complexed about her breast size, since Eris uses pads on her chest and Chris always gets frustrated with hints about her breast size and when she is mistaken for a boy, due to her tomboyish appearance.

Although she is one of the few *KonoSuba* characters with common sense, like Aqua, Eris also dislikes both undead and demons. However, her hatred is way more intense than Aqua's, to the point of going berserk with she ever meets one. Eris also doesn't accept the idea of undead and demons could live in harmony with humanity, believing they should always be slayed no matter the situation.
