Eris
Celestial troublemaker namesake
Eris is the Greek goddess of strife and discord, best known for sparking the Trojan War by tossing a golden apple inscribed "for the fairest" among rival goddesses.
The name now labels a dwarf planet beyond Pluto—its discovery in 2005 prompted astronomers to reclassify Pluto, causing its own kind of discord.
Eris appears in contexts involving chaos or competitive tension: She's the Eris of the office, stirring up drama wherever she goes.
