A hitherto neglected Goddess on the Discworld. Pippina is the Goddess of Disorder and carries the Golden Apple of office. It presumably caries a suitable Ephebean aphorism, possibly one suited to the occasion and bespoke to the situation. "Kallisti" is most suited to an exaggerated sense of entitlement and the sin of vanity, after all.
On the established principle of divine moonlighting, Pippina may be a specialised aspect of the pre-existing deities Hoki and Errata.
