Eris, Goddess of Chaos

Description

I'm going to scan this, I promise.

In the story behind the Apple of Discord, Eris, being known for causing strife, is angry for not being invited to a party. So, as an act of revenge, she tosses a golden apple inscribed with "Kallisti" or "Kalliste" (meaning "To the Fairest One") into the party, provoking the godddesses to squabble over the appropriate recipient. Paris, the Prince of Troy, is appointed to select the most beautiful by Zeus. Each of the three goddesses attempt to bribe him into choosing her. Hera offers political power, Athena promises skill in battle, and Aphrodite tempts him with the most beautiful woman in the world: Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. Paris gives the apple to Aphrodite, dooming his city, which is destroyed in the Trojan War.

I decided to make Eris light-blue-skinned, like she is Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, and have golden-eyes with a dress of smog and smoke. I also imagine her being voiced (if she were ever to accompany Savannah in Young Justice) by either Michelle Pfeiffer or Rachael MacFarlane.
