Backstory
Back when she was still contained in the original Pandora’s box in Greece, Koyapse was always considered a free spirit. She would be asked if she had aspirations to be out causing trouble, or if she dreaded being locked forever. Either way, she didn’t care and would go with the flow, knowing within her confines, she could always entertain with the other Miseries. Before three of the miseries ran into a God that reduced them to smaller forms, Koyapse was the shortest of them all, and for years, she wished Ephialtes would get the short end of the stick.
Her freedom didn’t last a long time after the original Pandora opened the forbidden box, eventually captured in South America and sealed by a spiritualist into a small ink bottle sent to the Divine World. She didn’t lament that her new prison was even smaller, having caused enough chaos to be tracked down after all, and it certainly was an entertaining time for her. Some of the other Miseries aimed to destroy livelihoods, to kill humans and entire civilizations, some aimed to take over the world itself and challenge Gods. Koyapse had her run manipulating and troubling enough humans, and whether she gained any more power, there was nothing to use it for unless she decided to fight her brethren.
After spending countless years trapped in an unassuming bottle, she was tracked down by Gingko’s group to join her side before Merikh and Pagule could collect her, or Ephialtes’ group. She recalled those three being the most childish, Ephialtes especially having a personal rivalry with her, so if she could cause mischief among those Gods rather than humans this time, she didn’t mind joining a human’s side. Being sealed away was boring, so if she had this chance, she would not pass it up.
To Gingko, Koyapse used her abilities to manipulate “falling” to test and train her briefly, getting her past fundamental human fears of falling and failure, but to work past the fears her fall to love Ijus brought as well. Humans and their mechanisms didn’t make sense to Koyapse, so apart from Gingko, she chose to entertain herself with the other Miseries that joined their faction, including Navy, Reynaru, and Scena.
In the search of the other Pandora’s boxes scattered about, Koyapse one day caught a glimpse of Ephialtes. For old times sake, the two fought, but with Ephialtes being so much shorter than before, their quarrel become more verbal than physical as time went on. Koyapse was glad karma caught up to them, belittling their failure to fight a God, to become bested by them and reduced to such an appearance. While tables turned and things changed on both their ends, seeing one another was very nostalgic for Koyapse.
Learning more about the danger Merikh and Pagule posed to the world, Koyapse insinuated that in the end both Gingko and Ephialtes’ group should work together, but that was up to them to individually mesh well. Either way, she knew they’d run into each other time and again, and even after Ephialtes had fallen more than once, it was entertaining to see them rise each time and grow from the experience.
