Well, given that 'Eris' in Greek MEANS 'Strife'... admittedly, the more common translation is 'Discord'. In the myth, she's one of the three children of Ares (War), the other two being Phobos (Fear or Panic) and Deimos (Terror or Dread).
In myth, she's also the person who left the golden apple that started the divine beauty contest which led to the Trojan War. Turning people against each other is part of what she does. She often has fun with people, yes. She'd probably also deliberately not have 'fun' with some people who wanted it while letting them know that she'd had fun with others in order to make them jealous.
