Character Background
Personality
Eris is a goddess role model: kind, polite, noble, and industrious. She always treats everybody with respect and empathy, and while Eris is very serious about rules and procedures, due to her politeness, she is also too acquiescent, especially to those above her rank, such as her veteran Aqua. Hence, Eris can't impose order and even yields to the absurd demands of the ones she interacts in the Afterlife, like Aqua,[1] Kazuma[2] and Keele.[6]
As Chris, Eris displays a more boyish and laid-back side. While she is usually has good sense, Chris is also mischievous and reckless, trying to outsmart Kazuma[7] and Aqua,[8] and even stealing from corrupt nobles without thinking about the consequences,[9] although she does has a sense of justice, donating her spoils to the church[9] or giving them back to their original owner.[8] Also, despite often trying to look cool, Chris gets easily upset when she is frustrated or harassed.
However, both sides are her true personality, since Eris is how Chris is at work, while Chris is how Eris is at her spare time.[10] As both Eris and Chris, she is self-conscious about her bust size as well, since Eris uses pads on her chest to look well-endowed, and Chris always gets frustrated with hints about her bust size and when she is mistaken for a boy, due to her tomboyish appearance.
Furthermore, Eris is the type who cracks under pressure. When she is confronted, Chris either spills the beans[11] or runs away,[12] which is why she is unable to keep secrets (although she has a double identity). Also, since Eris is unable to confront Aqua, who often coerces and intimidates her, Eris can't admonish her veteran, sometimes leaving no choice but to do both their jobs.[13]
Moreover, despite being usually forgiving, Eris can be very vengeful at times, playfully taking revenge on Kazuma for stealing his pants[14] and threatening him with divine punishment if Kazuma harasses[15] or teases her.[16] She also attacked Zeeleschilt's castle daily to exorcise him, due to the way he mistreated Darkness in front of her.[17] Aqua's pitiful luck could also be Eris' punishment by the way she badmouths the latter.[13]
Although Eris has some common sense, like Aqua, she despises both the undead and the demons. However, her hatred is more intense than her senior's, to the point of charging at them to unleash her wrath.[18] Eris doesn't believe that the undead and the demons can coexist with humanity either, since she believes that they should always be slaughtered, regardless of the situation.[12] Lastly, just like Aqua, Eris is overly attached to her followers.
