Description
Eris Boreas Greyrat is a central figure in the narrative, originally introduced as the headstrong and violent granddaughter of the lord of the Fittoa region. Born into the noble Boreas Greyrat family, she is a distant cousin and childhood friend of Rudeus Greyrat, being two years older than him. From a young age, she possessed a ferocious temperament and was considered an uncontrollable problem child, earning her a reputation as a beast incapable of refined behavior. She was expelled from school for a violent outburst and frequently drove away her tutors, leading her father to entrust her swordsmanship training to the beast-woman Ghislaine Dedoldia.
Her personality is defined by its stark contrasts. She is arrogant, stubborn, and prone to savage outbursts, acting on impulse before considering the consequences. However, beneath this aggressive exterior lies a strong-willed, surprisingly naive individual who is deeply loyal. Her defining character trait is an obsessive and unwavering love for Rudeus, which serves as the primary catalyst for her development. While she becomes ferociously merciless towards anyone who threatens or speaks ill of him, she also possesses a hidden shyness that often manifests as physical aggression, especially in response to sudden romantic advances. Although she eventually learns to control the bloodlust that once radiated from her constantly, her fiery core remains, earning her the nickname the Mad Dog or the Crimson Mad Dog.
Eris’s motivations are almost singularly focused on Rudeus. After a chaotic magical disaster teleports her, Rudeus, and their companion Ruijerd to the dangerous Demon Continent, she witnesses Rudeus's intelligence and calmness under pressure. This admiration rapidly evolves into a complex mixture of love, respect, and a deep-seated inferiority complex. A traumatic encounter with the Dragon God Orsted, who nearly kills Rudeus, solidifies her primary motivation: to become powerful enough to stand beside him as an equal protector, rather than a helpless burden. This singular goal drives her to make the painful decision to leave Rudeus immediately after their first night together, embarking on a solo journey of intense swordsmanship training.
In the story, Eris plays multiple crucial roles. Initially, she is Rudeus's primary student and a source of conflict, but their relationship quickly becomes the emotional core of a major story arc following the teleportation disaster. She is a primary combatant in their adventuring party, Dead End, responsible for close-quarters offense while Rudeus provides magical support and Ruijerd acts as a frontline defender. Years later, she reunites with Rudeus as a supremely capable Sword King, eventually becoming his third wife and the mother of his son, Ars, and daughter, Christina. Her combat prowess makes her the strongest of his three wives and a formidable ally in the story's most dangerous conflicts, including future confrontations with the Dragon God.
Her relationships are paramount to her identity. Her bond with Rudeus evolves from tutor and unruly student to comrades in survival, lovers, and finally, spouses. She shares a deep bond with her first mentor, Ghislaine, whom she respects immensely and follows to the Holy Land of Swords for advanced training. Her grandfather, Sauros Boreas Greyrat, is another major influence, instilling in her a love for beast-race people and some of her more unorthodox social attitudes. She also forges strong friendships with Ruijerd during their journey and with fellow swordswomen like Nina and Isolte in the Holy Land of Swords.
Eris undergoes significant development throughout the narrative. She transforms from a feral, undisciplined noble brat into a focused and deadly swordswoman. While she never becomes a proper lady, Rudeus's teaching helps her refine her manners and understand social graces, at least to a functional degree. Her journey forces her to confront her own weaknesses and her overwhelming dependence on Rudeus. Her decision to leave him, despite being born from love and a desire to improve, leads to a major misunderstanding that causes Rudeus years of emotional distress. However, her eventual return sees her as a more mature, composed, and reliable individual, though she retains her signature ferocity in battle and playful, aggressive affection in private, where she is noted to have a high libido and takes a dominant role in her relationship with Rudeus.
Notable abilities center almost exclusively on physical combat. Eris has exceptional, world-class talent in swordsmanship while possessing only mediocre aptitude for magic. She is a master of the Sword God Style, achieving the rank of Sword King. Despite this formal rank, her true combat ability is considered to be at the peak of the Emperor-class, making her the strongest Sword God Style user beneath the Sword God himself. She also has training in the North God Style, achieving the rank of Saint. In terms of magical ability, she can only use basic to intermediate-level fire magic. She wielded several legendary blades throughout her life, including a nameless sword from the Demon Continent, the Dragon Phoenix Sword, and the demonic sword Broken Finger, which was a gift from the Dragon God Orsted and is described as priceless. Her fighting style is aggressive, instinctual, and relentless, befitting her title of Mad Dog.
