Background & History
Rudeus's Student
Eris is Rudeus Greyrat's cousin through the Greyrat family and is two years older than him. Their first meeting is openly hostile: she objects to being taught by someone younger, attempts to strike him, and fights him after he insists that she respect her teacher. Although she initially submits only reluctantly, she accepts Rudeus as both her opponent and teacher. 18
Her early education progresses unevenly. Eris excels at swordsmanship but struggles with arithmetic, etiquette, and dancing; Rudeus identifies that her sword-trained instincts make her anticipate a dance partner's movements, then helps her rely on musical cues instead. 22 After her tenth birthday, she becomes more serious about lessons and stops skipping class. 24
Rudeus earns her acceptance as a magic instructor by demonstrating a powerful Fire Ball. At her birthday ball, he gives her a staff and formally recognizes her as his disciple; Eris calls him “Master Rudeus” for the first time. 19 23
Adventure and the Teleportation Incident
After the Teleportation Incident, Eris travels with Rudeus and Aisha across the Demon Continent. She and Rudeus work as adventurers under the Greyrat name, eventually attaining A-Rank status. 35 40 68
When the group reaches the Fittoa refugee camp, Eris learns of the extensive losses suffered by her homeland, including the disappearance or death of her parents. She is then pressured by Alphonse with a proposal that she become Pylemon Notos Greyrat's concubine in exchange for aid to the territory. 50
Sword Sanctum Training
Eris refuses to accept a future in which she cannot protect Rudeus. She leaves for the Sword Sanctum with Ghislaine, promising to return once she is strong enough to defend him. 52
Her years of training transform her into a tall, muscular Sword King with callused hands. Despite her new confidence and strength, she worries that Rudeus may no longer find her attractive and remains deeply attached to him. 87 107
Eris returns to Rudeus after seeing Orsted leave his house and immediately attacks the Dragon God, believing Rudeus to be in danger. She stops only after seeing Rudeus safe and accepting that Orsted is his ally. 92
Marriage and Family
Eris moves into Rudeus's household, marries him, and builds a close relationship with his other wives, Sylphie and Roxy. 93 98 115 She becomes pregnant with Rudeus's first child and later raises their daughter Windsor, encouraging her swordsmanship from an early age. 116 205
During Rudeus's secret experiments, Eris notices the emotional toll they take on him. Though he asks her not to tell Sylphie and Roxy, she ultimately confides in them because she believes the family should share his burdens. 104 115
Later, Eris revisits the ruins of the Boreas residence in Fittoa with Rudeus and their children. She reflects that her childhood home is no longer where she belongs. 286
Appearance
Eris has bright, curly red hair and upward-tilting eyes that contribute to her fierce first impression. 18 After training at the Sword Sanctum, she becomes notably tall and muscular, with a toned physique and sword-callused hands. 87

Personality
Eris begins as arrogant, haughty, impulsive, and quick to settle disagreements with violence. She has strong pride and initially resists Rudeus's authority, but she gradually learns restraint and becomes more earnest in her studies. 18 21 24
She is direct about her emotions, especially her love for Rudeus. Eris trusts him almost completely and reacts fiercely when others insult or question him, even dismissing concerns that he might be using her strength. 49 87
Despite her bluntness, Eris becomes more considerate with age. She worries about Rudeus's exhaustion, supports Windsor's wishes, and recognizes when her own jealousy or pregnancy-related mood changes have hurt others. 104 131 180 185
