update -  Bulgaria/croatia area were Greek influenced so the Eris story should work in that part of the world . Russia i don't have any idea yet, folk stories and superstitions would have the  most promise for a connection  but my source can't recall any at the moment ..

I did a quick search for baba yaga more of the witch eats children flies around lives in house in woods etc architype than the trickster creator of discord. There are a few variations on the story in some she will give  advice (she demands good manners) in most she is the bad guy against whom the hero struggles. the  fox (female ) is the trickster in Russian folktales, i haven't found any examples yet.  still no parallels for chaos/discord


the following is a Link for trickster stories folktales from around the world, may be useful
