## Overview

Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos, strife, and discord. She is known for causing fights and in one myth, starting the trojan war. In ancient Greece, they did not have temples for her as she was known for bringing chaos. She functions more as a personification, probably of chaos. Here are some correspondences!

At the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, all of the Olympians were invited, Eris was not, due to being the goddess of discord. Eris was upset, so she dropped a golden Apple of Discord into the party. The apple had the words "To The Fairest" on it. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite started bickering over who the apple should be given to.

Zeus made Paris, the Prince of Troy, decide who should receive it. The goddesses offered Paris various gifts, but he eventually picked Aphrodite, who promised him the most beautiful woman in the world; Helen, wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta.

## Appearance

Eris is has the appearance of an extremely beautiful young woman appearing to be in her early twenties with flawless skin and a voluptuous body, and long black purple hair and purple eye which are as dark as the night itself. Eris is similar to Nyx. In fact, Issei has described her as the older version of Nyx.

According to Irina, Eris' accent is somewhere between a stereotypical British accent mixed with a Valleygirl accent. She has also shown a habit of muttering in Greek when she's annoyed by her underlings' incompetent.

She is covered in an aura of dark and chaotic energy, which makes her appear to be more "devilish" than the Devils themselves. She wears elegant western clothes and has long glossy dark-purple hair.

## Personality

Eris is a very playful but chaotic individual. Despite being the goddess of Chaos and Discord, she is not considered evil. However, she can be quite petty, as when she was denied entry into the wedding the Olympians were invited to, she let loose the golden apple of discord onto the party, leading up to the events of the trojan war. Her forms of entertainment consist of playful chaos mainly.

Such as using truth spells, making people able to read the thoughts of others, hiding things they are looking for, tapping people on the shoulder and going invisible. Eris enjoys the small things just as pranks, but truly she is not with murder and destruction like other beings.

For this reason, she feels like it's not fair she was invited to the wedding due to being the personification of discord. However, she did not make the perception of her better when she dropped the golden apple. She was not exactly pleased with the trojan war.

According to Hypnos, at her core, Eris is nothing more than an extremely spoiled brat who thinks the entire world is her playground, even stated that the combined ego of every single member of the High Olympic Council combined wouldn't be as much as one-quarter of her own.

On rare occasions when she doesn't throw temper-tantrum, she could become very spiteful and devious, perhaps even more than usual, resulting in devastating events of mass chaos and destruction. An example of this is when she didn't receive an invitation to the wedding of Thetis and Peleus, she created a "prank" on the gods, which ended up in the Trojan War - one of the greatest war of Ancient Greece's mythological history.

Despite this, Eris has shown to understand her role and position in the Greek Pantheon's natural order, always trying to maintain and restrict her chaos to a certain level, and finding ways to create more "order" to balance everything out. Whether this is her genuinely caring about the balance of the world, or because of her fear/respect toward her foster older sister Nemesis, Goddess of Balance and Retribution - still remain unclear.

Eris has a deep affection for her Love Interest Sairaorg Bael. She promised she would even protect him from the enemies of him, whom he is afraid of. This is also proven when Nyx threatens him in front of her in order to convince her to help her since it was forbidden for gods to be with demons anyway. Sairaorg Bael finds it adorable whenever she is causing "strife" cause her definition of strife is what he considers a weak devil prank. Due to being a devil, he loves that side of her.

## History

Eris is a goddess of the Greek Pantheon, who had been active since ancient times. She is known in Ancient Greece and Rome as both the Goddess and the Personification of Strife itself.

### The Judgement of Paris

When the Nereid Thetis was married to the mortal hero Peleus as a reward for his undying devotion to the gods of Mount Olympus, only Eris wasn't invited to attend the celebration on Mount Pelion, as a wedding is a joyous occasion and she - the personification of strife - wouldn't be welcome there. Offended by their disrespect, she snuck into the dining hall in the form of an old crone and threw a golden apple onto the table reserved for the gods, inscribed with the words "For the Fairest". Knowing that this was nothing more than a trick by Eris herself, Thetis gave it to Zeus, stating that a gift like that was too much for a simple bride like her to receive, then asking him to fairly judge and gift the golden fruit to the most beautiful goddess amongst the Olympian deities.

Just like what Thetis had thought, all the goddesses claimed the fruit for themselves, from the soft-spoken Hebe to the chastised Artemis, all wanting to be known as the most beautiful goddess. Eventually, Zeus was forced to cast his judgment in front of the married couple, who had been enjoying how the gods acted like overgrown children, the male gods, and all of the guests, which ended up with three equal votes: Hera - the wife of Zeus and the Queen of the Olympian gods, Athena - the daughter of Zeus and the Maiden Goddess of Wisdom, and Aphrodite - the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

Zeus, not wanting to be on the opposing end of the runner-ups' combined wrath, decided to gift this duty to Paris of Troy - a mortal prince who was the son of King Priam, ordering him to preside over the three goddesses, who each tried to bribe him for the golden apple. The three goddesses offered rewards to Paris: Hera promised him the rulership over the Asian Minor, Athena promised to aid him in every battle regardless of their nature, and Aphrodite, knowing the hearts and minds of men the most, promised him the hand of the most beautiful woman in the world.

In the end, Aphrodite's decision was shown to be the correct one, and she was given the golden apple, as well as the title of the Fairest of Them All. Just like what she promised, she then used her connections to get him the role of the best-fitted suitor for the hand-in-marriage of Helen - the Princess of Sparta. However, unknown to Aphrodite, Athena and Hera had teamed up together and messed with Paris' mind, making him fell in love with Queen Helen of Sparta - wife of King Menelaus of Sparta and mother of four kids: Hermione, Aethiolas, Maraphius, and Pleisthenes.

Because of his love toward the married demigoddess, with the help of Hera, disguising as Aphrodite, he was able to kidnap her back to Troy, initiating a series of events that would not only destroy Paris and his family, but his people and the fate of Troy as well. It was noted that during the entire duration of the events, as well as for the Trojan War that followed, Eris' laughter could be heard from her personal manor deep within the heart of the Realm of the Dead.

### The Trojan War

During the war, Eris rode into battle on the side of the Trojans, alongside Ares and Enyo. It was at Troy that she became known as the Lady of Sorrow. In one battle, she fought in the defense of Aphrodite’s son, Aeneas, but mostly roamed the battlefield to spread bloodshed and carnage among the warriors.

### Chaotic Love

Two mortals named Polykethos and Aedon claimed to be more in love with each other than Zeus and Hera. This angered Hera so much, she sent Eris to wreak havoc on them. She went and saw the two. Polykethos was making a chariot, and Aedon was weaving. Eris offered a challenge, the last to finish would have to present the other with a female slave. Aedon won, and Polykethos was angry. Polykethos grabbed Aedon's sister and disguised her as a slave. Aedon was furious, because she tormented the slave. She chopped her son up, whom Polykethos loved dearly, and fed him to him in a stew. The two then quarelled and kerfuffled, until the gods turned them into birds.
