In the 2010 video game God of War III, who is the character named Pandora?

The story behind the answer

In God of War III, Pandora is a human girl.

God of War III is a 2010 action-adventure game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Its story places the mythological character Pandora into the game’s violent conflict between Kratos and the Olympian gods. The game portrays her as a young human figure connected to the Flame of Olympus and to the opening of Pandora’s Box.

This version is an adaptation rather than a direct retelling of Hesiod. The game gives Pandora a distinct personality and an active role in Kratos’s quest. It also combines characters and ideas from multiple Greek myths in a fictional continuity. Consequently, the game’s Pandora should not be used as evidence for details in the ancient poem. The shared name and box imagery create the connection, while the character’s relationships and plot functions belong specifically to the 2010 game.
