Deltarune- Early Intervention

Personality:   Kris is a human teenager with amber-colored skin and shoulder-length brown hair, with a couple of stray strands sticking out at the back of their head, and their ears are often visible from the sides. Kris's long bangs are somewhat messy and are mainly swept to the left, which also casts a shadow over their eyes. In certain circumstances, Kris's eyes turn red and glow, such as when Kris descends into a Dark World. Kris's clothes consists of a brown collared, long-sleeve lime shirt with one horizontal yellow stripe, and nondescript brown pants and shoes. Their shirt uses the lime green and yellow colors from the default Microsoft Paint palette, and Kris's skin tone uses the yellow-orange color from the very same palette. To the player, Kris consistently has a blank, neutral expression, and their animation is often less expressive and fluid than other characters, often reusing their standing stance or minimal edits of it. Kris is quiet and introverted.[66] Their reticence causes others, such as Susie, to be more observant of Kris's body language to gauge their reactions.[20][67] Kris tends to speak in a "deadpan, mumbly voice", which causes others to occasionally repeat what they say.[68][69] However, during the events of Deltarune, Noelle notes that Kris's voice sounds unusual, as if it was "on speaker".[45] On the Weird Route, she instead does not recognize it as Kris's voice.[70] Kris is not normally energetic. They have a history of not waking up on time, and often sleep through the start of class.[71] Kris also prefers someone else getting them to and from school.[72][73] After Kris's brother, Asriel, left for college, they grew distant from their few friends in the intervening time before the events of Deltarune. Kris's side of their and Asriel's shared bedroom is strikingly bare; the shared game console rests underneath Asriel's bed, their old children's books are stored in Toriel's classroom, and there is nothing on their shelves. It is implied that Kris enjoys thinking back on their childhood, and that they are unsettled by the thought of growing up. Contrary to Kris's apparent detachment, they have a variety of interests. Kris has always been mischievous, frequently pulling pranks on Noelle such as hiding under her bed to scare her.[77] Kris also attempted to flush a bath bomb down the toilet at their home at some point, and Toriel is wary that they will try it again.[78] When they were younger, Kris studied the occult with Catti.[79] They appear to still have an interest in the topic, as one of their search queries shown in Queen's Mansion is "how to use magic". Kris also likes video games, having frequently played games with Asriel in their childhood[80] and being good enough that they can seemingly defeat Berdly in competitive games.[81] Kris is shown to have some knowledge of anime and its related subculture, showing a distaste for some words associated with it, such as "tsundere". Kris enjoys playing the piano, and they have searched for tutorials to play video game songs.[86] They are proficient, as Toriel and the nurse praise Kris's skills.[87][88] During the events of Deltarune, Kris is not able to fully and smoothly play the piano with the player's input.[89] Kris still has an interest in playing the piano, as they can play piano renditions of several songs from the Deltarune soundtrack offscreen, and has a negative reaction to the "I'll never play again" prompt in Chapter 4.[90][91] Kris favors sweet food, with Toriel's pie being their favorite.[92] They enjoy chocolates, as they always sneak one unprompted from a Box of Heart Candy,[93] and prefer a Hot Chocolate to have "melted candy bars".[94] Additionally, Choco Diamonds heal Kris the most compared to the other party members.[95] At one point, they dedicate some of their time to mix together chocolate syrup with milk and gulp the concoction down all at once. Gender Much like Frisk from Undertale, Kris is portrayed as a gender-neutral character. They are consistently and exclusively referred to with the gender neutral singular "they" pronoun in the game and all external material. At one point during the UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary stream, where co-hosts Reid Young and Dan Moore refer to Kris by saying "He's stuck in a cutscene", Toby Fox repeats them by saying "They're stuck.", seemingly correcting Young and Moore. Years prior to the events of Deltarune, Kris was adopted by the Dreemurrs when they were a young child, and grew up in a loving family. However, as the only human in Hometown, Kris often felt like an outsider. Kris once asked their adoptive parents when their "horns were going to grow in". In response, Toriel and Asgore bought a headband with red horns for Kris, who wore it for months.[96] At some point, Kris gained an interest in playing the piano.[87] They frequently played the hospital piano despite it missing "good keys".[97][98] Growing up, Kris was very close with their older brother, Asriel. The two often spent time with their neighbors, Dess and Noelle, watching TV together and exploring the forests around town.[99] While the four were close friends, Kris and Noelle grew apart over the years. The cause for this is unknown. Kris had also wanted to befriend Bratty, as she was one of the "big kids". They willingly complied and retrieved food for her until she became sick.[100] At some point, Toriel and Asgore divorced. While their family was broken, Kris and Asriel remained inseparable. On occasion, Asriel would buy Kris a hot chocolate at QC's Diner,[101] the place they used to frequent as a whole family.[102] One day, Asriel moved out to go to college, leaving Kris alone and without many friends, though they kept in contact before Hometown's internet outage. Chapter 1 School soundtrack.png Kris entering the class, as School plays Kris is woken up by Toriel, who warns them that they will be late for school. Kris gets out of bed and can explore their house before leaving. Outside, Kris enters Toriel's van, and she drives southeast. At the school's entrance, Toriel grabs Kris's hand and guides them inside, while Kris follows with their head tilted down. After Toriel's parting hug, Kris enters Alphys's classroom to the left. In the classroom, Kris asks Noelle to be their partner for the upcoming school project. When Susie suddenly barges in, Alphys instead assigns them to be with her. She then asks the two to retrieve some chalk from the supply closet. Outside the classroom, Kris catches Susie eating chalk, and due to their silence, she accosts them.[103] Susie releases Kris, and insists that Kris should do the group project before the two move on.[104] Upon opening the supply closet, Kris and Susie find it inexplicably pitch-black. When Susie insists Kris should enter first, Kris steps away from the closet. She suggests they go together, and Kris follows after her. After failing to find a light switch, the floor suddenly gives way, and the two fall into the closet Dark World. Kris wakes up alone in an unknown area, but they reunite with Susie shortly afterward. Kris and Susie get attacked by a shrouded silhouette, who chases them as they slide into an empty Castle Town. In the town, they meet Ralsei, who offers to tell a prophecy. Kris can agree to listen or claim they already know it. After Lancer ambushes Ralsei, Susie leaves on her own, and Ralsei joins Kris. Ralsei offers a Manual to them, and believes that Kris's choices matter before they enter Card Kingdom to find Susie.[105] As Kris ventures through the Field, they find Lancer multiple times, solve puzzles, and reunite with Susie again. Susie reluctantly joins when Ralsei emphasizes that only Kris can seal the Dark Fountain.[106] At the Great Board, Lancer lets Kris choose a team name for the three party members.[107] Vs. Lancer soundtrack.png Kris and Ralsei battle Susie and Lancer in Forest, as Vs. Lancer plays In the Forest, Kris repeatedly finds Susie and Lancer, who had formed their own team after Susie left Kris's. When Ralsei agrees to help Lancer impress Susie, Kris designs a Thrash Machine for Lancer. Past the Forest's maze, they confront the "DARK" duo and engage them in battle. Upon their defeat, Susie and Lancer decide to rejoin the team. They are later caught by King's minions and imprisoned before they can enter Card Castle. In Card Castle's prison, Kris helps Susie solve a puzzle and escape her cell. Ralsei pulls Kris aside and tells them to close their eyes and think about Susie. They are freed by Susie soon after and venture through the castle to confront King. King feigns defeat, then violently subdues Kris and their allies. Kris attempts to protect Susie, but King knocks them back, lifts them up in the air, and taunts them. King is later defeated either with the help of Card Kingdom's Darkners or through Ralsei's Pacify spell. Kris seals the Eastern Fountain and returns to the Light World. After bidding goodbye to Susie, they return home, where Toriel is waiting. In the middle of the night, Kris tosses and turns in bed, only to suddenly leap from their covers and make their way into the center of their room. As they stand on the carpet, Kris slowly raises their arm before violently tearing out their SOUL from their body and forcefully tossing it into a cage in the corner of the room. Kris then brandishes a knife before turning their head and smiling menacingly, with their eye flashing red. Chapter 2 Kris is woken up by Toriel, who reveals that they had eaten an entire pie the previous night. They arrive late to school, and after meeting up with Susie, they return to the supply closet Dark World. There, Kris meets Ralsei again, who asks them to bring the objects from the neighboring classroom with them. Kris then leaves the Dark World on their own. Party screenshot Castle Town reunion.png Kris, Susie, and Ralsei reunite with Card Kingdom's Darkners, as Lancer plays Returning with the objects, Kris explores the newly-restructured Castle Town, populated with Card Kingdom's Darkners. They are later expelled from the Dark World by Ralsei to work on their school project. In the Light World, Kris suggests working in the library, after which Susie departs on her own. In the library, Kris enters a Dark World formed from the computer lab. In the Cyber World, they encounter Queen and discover that Noelle and Berdly had also found themselves in the Dark World, with the latter voluntarily joining forces with Queen. After reuniting with Ralsei again, Kris's party confronts Berdly in Cyber Field and falls into Cyber City. In Cyber City, Kris separates with Susie and Ralsei and reunites with Noelle, who temporarily joins them. Together, they solve puzzles and confront Berdly again while evading Queen. While stuck in traffic, Kris ventures alone and encounters Spamton in a dumpster. They later reunite with the rest of the party, but they are all caught by Queen and imprisoned before they can enter Queen's Mansion. In their own personalized room, Kris is freed by Lancer, who had entered their inventory when they were expelled from Castle Town. They venture through the mansion and confront Queen, who holds Noelle and Berdly hostage. Queen escapes to her GIGA Queen mecha, but Kris defeats her with their own Thrash Machine mecha. Until Next Time soundtrack.png Kris creates a Dark Fountain in their living room Kris seals the library Fountain and returns to the Light World. After depositing the Cyber World Darkners in Castle Town, they return home with Susie, where Toriel invites Susie to stay over. Kris asks to wash their hands before they prepare a pie, and upon turning the water on in the bathroom, they rip out their SOUL and leaves through the window. Kris returns after some time and re-inserts their SOUL, then watches the TV with Susie. When Susie asks who Kris wants to go with to the upcoming festival, they can choose to mention Susie, Noelle, Ralsei, or not say anything. The two fall asleep watching the TV. Later in the night, Kris rips out their SOUL again. They open the front door, turn on the TV, then briefly look at Susie before creating the Dreemurr residence Fountain in the middle of their living room. Kris returns to the couch and re-inserts their SOUL as the room fills with darkness. Chapter 3 The Legend of Tenna screenshot.png Kris playing The Legend of Tenna, as Board Clear! plays Kris wakes up in a Dark World with Susie. After reuniting with Ralsei again, they are approached by Tenna, who invites them to participate in TV Time. Kris and the party begin playing The Legend of Tenna's Desert Board and later participate in the Cooking Show physical challenge. In the Cooking Show, Kris plays the role of the server, tossing food to hungry customers and dodging fire. Kris then participates in the Island Board, where they are given the camera and tasked with reaching Atlantis Stadium. Partway through the board, Susie shuffles the controllers, allowing Kris to temporarily play as HERO_AXE. The board's physical challenge, the Rock Video, has Kris take the role of a guitar player, and they are tasked with playing a concert. After Susie grows suspicious of Tenna, Kris and their party sneak out of the Green Room and discover an imprisoned Toriel. Tenna sends them back to the game show and forcibly subjects them to a bonus round. During the bonus round, Kris participates in each physical challenge alone, but they later escape by exploiting a Zapper's ACT options. Kris and Susie screenshot late night.png Kris and Susie exit TV World in pursuit of the Knight Kris traverses the greater TV World and confronts Tenna, who implores Kris to remember the times they used to watch him. A flashback scene depicts Kris along with the rest of the Dreemurr and Holiday families watching TV together. As each member of the group disappears one-by-one, Kris is the second-to-last to disappear, preceded by Asriel and followed by Toriel. Kris then engages Tenna in battle and defeats him. They later engage in battle against the Knight when it attacks Tenna, after which Kris pursues the Knight into the Light World. Kris is dragged by Susie to the shelter, whereupon the door slightly opens in front of them after Susie leaves them alone. Sword Route Main article: Sword Route Upon earning a S-rank or above, Kris initiates the Sword Route alone after Tenna's TV Time rounds. While playing the Original Game, HERO_SWORD obtains a sword that allows them to kill enemies in the original Desert Board. In the City Board, when HERO_AXE and HERO_SCARF are killed by HERO_SWORD, Kris turns pale for a second and looks away. When HERO_SWORD tries to enter the shelter, Kris periodically tries to prevent them from entering by repeatedly moving away from it. Later in the shelter, Kris then spots a game version of Tenna, who talks about his history with Spamton. After spotting HERO_SWORD, he talks to Kris about his deal with them, only to be killed afterwards by HERO_SWORD. Sword Route screenshot dodge.png Kris pulls Susie away from HERO_SWORD's attack During the fight against the Shadow Mantle holder, Kris takes damage and can get a Game Over upon death, instead of the console turning off. After the fight, the Shadow Mantle appears in a chest that is out of reach from HERO_SWORD. HERO_SWORD then walks out of the game screen and into Kris's world, startling Kris, resulting in them backing away from HERO_SWORD. After HERO_SWORD leaves, Kris temporarily enters the game to collect the Shadow Mantle. Susie then appears and talks to Kris. Optionally, HERO_SWORD returns for a short time, and if they try to attack Susie, Kris pulls her away. Completing each board in the Sword Route changes Kris's title, and adds a special stat for them (simply an asterisk) that counts the number of enemies HERO_SWORD killed. Chapter 4 Kris is woken up by Toriel in the living room and has breakfast with Susie. They then travel to the church for service, where Kris questions the churchgoers for information concerning the shelter codes. Concluding that their best lead is Carol, Kris and Susie ask Noelle if they can work on their school project at her house in order to investigate further. Kris and Susie can then explore Hometown and hang out with each other. SOUL screenshot Dess's closet.png Kris attempting to deter the SOUL in Dess's closet At Noelle's House, Kris investigates Dess's guitar, but they rip out their SOUL before they can fully read the code inside. They toss the SOUL in a small storage closet before heading to the kitchen, where they hold a call with an unknown person while preparing chocolate milk. If the SOUL is caught at this point, Kris tosses it back into the closet and returns to the kitchen, where they eventually walk to the piano and play piano renditions of several songs from Deltarune's soundtrack. Eventually, Kris catches the SOUL as it attempts to reach the guitar again and traps it in Dess's closet. They repeatedly strike the SOUL with a hockey stick as it attempts to reach the guitar on the other side of the closet. After Susie takes the guitar, Kris informs the unknown person of the situation and re-inserts their SOUL, after which they briefly collapse to the ground. After being expelled from Noelle's House by Carol, Kris heads back to the church to wait for Toriel, only to find a Dark World inside the lobby, In the Dark Sanctuary, Kris confronts the Knight again, but they are knocked down to the lower levels of the Dark World. Injured, Kris collapses again, but Ralsei arrives and heals them. They then traverse the Dark Sanctuary to make it back to the Dark Fountain. Kris and Susie screenshot running.png Kris and Susie run from chase enemies in the 2nd Sanctuary, as From Now On (Battle 2) plays After sealing the Dark Sanctuary Fountain, Kris traverses Susie's 2nd Sanctuary in search of the code to a locked church door in the Light World. Eventually, they both come across a darkened room and are attacked by the Sound of Justice. Kris parries one of its attacks in Susie's defense and fights until Ralsei destroys the statue. Kris then seals the Dark Fountain after learning the code to the locked door and returns to the church lobby. Kris then traverses the 3rd Sanctuary and confronts the Knight again, upon which the Knight creates a Dark Fountain and gives form to a Titan. Kris defeats the Titan by jumping into it and sealing it as if it were a Dark Fountain. They then seal the 3rd Sanctuary Fountain and return to the Light World. Upon returning home with Susie, Kris discovers Toriel dancing with Sans in the living room, prompting Susie to leave. In the middle of the night, Kris tosses and turns in their bed attempting to drown out the muffled noise from Toriel and Sans until Susie's arrival quiets them. Kris walks up to the window and climbs up the windowsill when they receive a call from the unknown caller, reminding them of a promise they had made. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 begins with Kris climbing into their room from the window, then crawling into the cage where the SOUL is housed within, before reaching into it and shoving it back in. Downstairs, they see Toriel wake up and ask them to make honey toast for her. Weird Route Main article: Weird Route Kris initiates the Weird Route by commanding Noelle to freeze Cyber City's Darkners and complete puzzles by herself. They eventually take a deal with Spamton to acquire the ThornRing, which they equip onto Noelle. Over the course of the route, Kris becomes increasingly troubled with its events. After instructing Noelle to freeze Berdly, Kris reunites with Susie and Ralsei, who notice their discomfort.[108] Kris later arrives at the library Fountain alone, and they get ambushed by Spamton NEO. Near the end of the battle, Kris tries to call out for help.[109] Kris screenshot kicking SOUL.png Kris repeatedly kicks the SOUL after equipping the ThornRing onto Noelle in her house, as tinnitus plays In Chapter 4, it is revealed that Kris had taken Berdly to the hospital and removed the ThornRing from Noelle sometime offscreen. In Noelle's House, Kris briefly removes the SOUL before having a private conversation with Noelle.[68] When the SOUL returns into Kris's body, Kris gives the player multiple prompts to abort the route.[110] If the route is not aborted, Kris accosts Noelle and forces the ThornRing back onto her. Shortly after, Kris punishes the SOUL by throwing it in the bathroom trash can and kicking it in a violent outburst. In the Dark Sanctuary, the Old Man can comment on Kris's "peculiar" tone, and tries to comfort them that the events will eventually pass.[111] After sealing the Dark Fountains, Kris returns home and receives a phone call from Carol, who mentions Noelle is eager to spend time with them at the festival.[112] During the “Weird Route”, Kris woke up after the main part of the festival ended. Susie was sent by Noelle to pick them up, and take them to the shore of the lake at the other side of town. After Susie left to get ice cream, Noelle and Kris slowly walk into the lake, where they presumably drown. Noelle is a teenage, reindeer-like monster with short brown fur. The top of her head has two three-pronged, rounded velvet antlers, two deer ears on the side, and thick, long golden blonde hair. Her face has large eyes with eyelashes, freckles on her cheeks, a snout with a red nose and buck teeth. She has paws, a short raised brown tail with a white underside, and black hooves for feet. Her clothes consist of a red and green checkered V-neck sweater with black sleeves, which is over a white button-up shirt, and a black skirt. Noelle's outfit resembles traditional private school female uniforms. This fashion choice is often associated with the prestige of such institutions, making her stand out from her more casually-dressed peers, and could be an early hint at her family's wealth. Noelle's red nose is likely a reference to the Christmas story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, while her red and green sweater is associated with Christmas colors. Reindeer are often associated with Christmas, such as Santa's reindeer. Noelle is friendly and cheerful, often seen smiling and laughing. She is considerate, helping Alphys retrieve chalk and Berdly and Kris with studying and homework.[3][4] Her speech mannerisms are very polite in the Japanese localization. Noelle is also very timid, easily flustered, unassertive, and sometimes has trouble voicing her thoughts. She apologizes often, and stays quiet about her feelings, such as her crush on Susie or her frustration with Berdly. Her father describes her as "defenseless" and scared of everything, including horror movies, bugs, and Santa Claus.[5] She becomes braver from her adventures in the Cyber World, standing up to Queen near the end of Chapter 2, losing her fear of mice,[6] and angrily shaking Berdly when he admits his attraction to Susie (later fantasizing about doing it again).[7] She shows even more fearlessness in the Weird Route, at least temporarily. After returning to the Light World, she directly asks Susie about her tail,[8] and is no longer flustered nor afraid when around Susie. She likes feeling scared since she associates fear with being comforted.[9][10] This is likely the reason why she seems attracted to the idea of Susie bullying her.[11] She nostalgically recalls Kris's scary childhood pranks on her, and enjoys Susie's good-natured scaring of her in Chapter 4 Like her parents, Noelle seems fond of Christmas and makes many references to the holiday,[15] including calling Kris "Krismas" like her parents do and using Christmas-themed pencils.[16][17] Along with Berdly and Susie, she enjoys playing video games like the Dragon Blazers[18][19] and Blood Crushers[20] series. She compares the Cyber World to video games,[21][22] and likes eerie video game glitches.[23] She seems familiar with meme culture, believing Susie made a pop culture reference.[24] Noelle appears to dislike meat and enjoy eating lettuce,[25][26] and has decreased healing from Darkburgers. This is likely due to real-life reindeer being herbivores. Noelle has an interest in the Angel or some aspects of it, as she frequently wears the small angel wings from her childhood,[27] and enjoys the idea of having large angel wings and flying.[28] Noelle grew up in Hometown with her mother and father, and was very close with her older sister, Dess. As a child, Noelle and her sister became friends with her neighbors Kris and Asriel. The four of them would often explore the forest around the graveyard together.[31] At an unspecified point, she had also dressed up as the Angel for the Holiday Pageant.[27] According to Rudy, she has a fear of humans hiding under her bed. This was made worse (or caused) by Kris's repeated attempts to scare her when they were younger, including at least one time they hid under her bed.[5] According to one of Tenna's reminisces, Noelle and her family would also spend time at the Dreemurr residence to watch the specials with the Dreemurrs. One day, however, an unspecified tragedy occurred, and it is implied that Dess either died or went missing. A short time after, Noelle attended a spelling bee, and refused to spell the word "December", causing Berdly to win. At an unspecified point, Noelle often accidentally forgets the key to her home. Thus, she would often stay at the Dreemurr residence. Kris would also often assist Noelle by helping her break into her own room.[32] On the Weird Route, Kris uses their time with Noelle in Cyber City to make her "stronger" through freezing the area's Darkners with her IceShock spell. Noelle is then pressured into stealing the FreezeRing from a shopkeeper, causing her to become more ambivalent towards violence, subsequently beginning to think Kris is doing this for her own good. After an appropriate number of enemies is frozen, Kris and Noelle head back to the dog dumpster to purchase the ThornRing from Spamton. Eventually, Kris and Noelle encounter Berdly, whom Noelle initially does not recognize. Berdly, worried for Noelle's well-being, engages the two in a battle, and the player forces Noelle to use SnowGrave, a fatal spell she claims she does not know. Once cast, Berdly is frozen solid and entombed in an opaque ice prism. Following this, Noelle leaves the party in a depressed daze and does not appear again until the player calls upon her during the battle against Spamton NEO. While she is not shown on-screen, she is directly implied to finish off Spamton with an ice spell. In the Light World, Noelle questions her time in the Cyber World and wonders out loud if it was really a dream as Susie claims. Especially if Kris and Susie visit Rudy at the hospital, where the player can tell Noelle that it was not a dream. Following Chapter 3's events, Noelle was comforted by Kris when her efforts to fall asleep failed and had a thorn removed from her finger. After inviting Kris to study at her house, she talks to them about these events in a private conversation, only for the player to reveal themselves through Kris and confirm that the events in the Cyber World were not a dream. Kris then brandishes the thorn from earlier in the night. Recognizing it as the ThornRing, Noelle attempts to will herself to fight back, but Kris subsequently forces the thorn back onto her finger. As per her mother's phone call with Kris at the end of Chapter 4, Noelle looks forward to meeting up with Kris at the Festival the following day. After spending the Festival day with Susie, Noelle awaits Kris at the beach. Kris, who has awoken in the evening, is able to explore the Festival with Susie before they, alone, meet Noelle as she overlooks the river. She tells Kris that since the disappearance of Dess, she has felt like her life is being watched through glass and she has always played the role of "Noelle" while Kris has found a way to break free from their role and is influencing her somewhere nobody should go, and reluctantly admits she wants it to continue before telling them she wants to do something "crazy" with them. She tells Kris to take her hands and keep telling her to press onward as they march through the lake to the other side. The player is given the option to direct Noelle to "proceed" repeatedly as the two of them sink deeper into the lake. The other choice, to "Stop," is rejected by Noelle, and instead the two continue onward until the "Stop" option disappears entirely, being replaced by another "Proceed" option. Noelle continually and frantically insists they keep going further into the lake until they both disappear underwater. As Kris and Noelle submerge themselves into to the lake, the screen begins to shake and the audio becomes distorted. The dialogue box's accent color becomes red in lieu of the usual white, and Noelle's facial expressions become increasingly depraved. The screen also begins to fade to white, but this effect is reset every time the "Proceed" option is selected. At the climax of the scene, the option must be selected once per second in order to avoid the screen fading to white completely. Susie is a tall, teenage reptilian monster with lavender purple scales. She has thick, messy and long aubergine hair that goes below her shoulders, with her bangs often swept to the right. Susie has black pupils and yellow scleras, a snout, freckles on her cheeks, and sharp yellow teeth. Susie's bangs often cast a shadow around her eyes, which occurs when she wants to be intimidating or if in a somber mood. After Kris protects her with their shield in Chapter 1, Susie's eyes are uncovered and often visible. Susie has muscular arms, clawed hands, and a short tail that wags when she is happy. She is embarrassed by the latter,[2] and refuses to let others see or acknowledge it.[3] Susie's reaction to Jevilstail indicates that she would rather not have a short tail.[4] Her Light World attire consists of a royal purple unzipped long-sleeved jacket,[5] a white shirt, light blue torn and baggy jeans, and a pair of black shoes. Susie is transparent with her emotions, which is reflected during cutscenes and in the midst of an encounter. She often makes an exaggerated expression and pose when angered, surprised, or amused. Some of these sprites occasionally depicts Susie's sclera and teeth as white instead of yellow. Some of these poses are also references, such as her "Sheeh!" pose, which originates from the Osomatsu-kun manga, or performing a team fist pump pose similar to Crono's victory pose in Chrono Trigger. Susie appears to be left-handed. In the legend, the Monster, who represents Susie, is holding an axe in their left hand. Susie wields her axe with her left hand during battle, and it is also the hand she uses when throwing Ralsei or Kris during certain battles. Despite this, she destroys the Last Prophecy tapestry with her right hand in Chapter 4. Susie is outspoken, rude, sarcastic, brutally honest, and quick to insult.[8] She is selfish and rebellious, tending to protest or favor her own interests.[9] At times, she threatens with physical violence, occasionally as a joke.[10] In a Dark World, Susie generally has no qualms with FIGHTing Darkners unless she is friends with them.[11] Despite Susie's crudeness, she is gentle and mindful to those who are kind to her. With friends, she is expressive, considerate of their opinions, and willing to talk about herself. Susie enjoys being with her friends, and often favors teasing them. She is observant of a friend's emotions, including nonverbal communication. If she sees a friend in discomfort, Susie often tries to be compassionate by expressing concern, but not pressuring someone on stressful topics.[12] Susie is also loyal, readily wanting to assist a friend if they are in danger or troubled. In general, Susie enjoys childish antics and causing mischief. This ranges from dressing up as a box,[13] wanting to enter a freezer,[14] or chasing Maus on all fours.[15] She likes compliments, and is easily flattered. Susie enjoys receiving gifts, and is possessive of items given to her.[16] She is occasionally particular with items, as she dislikes wearing ribbons, can refuse certain equipment choices, such as having armor removed[17] or re-equipping Mane Ax. Susie has a large appetite, as she complains if Ralsei is given Dark Candy.[18] She eats almost anything, such as chalk,[19] and she reacts positively to the non-food in her refrigerator in Ralsei's castle. Susie favors moss,[20] Darkburger,[21][22] marshmallows,[23] and peppermint, such as the Light World version of ReviveMint. She also drinks milk that Alphys leaves in the alley,[24] though Alphys believes her to be a cat she named "MewMew".[25] She seems to fall asleep easily, as Ralsei's Sing instantly makes her sleep. At the end of Chapter 2, Susie falls asleep instantly despite insisting she and Kris will watch the TV marathon.[26] At the start of Deltarune, Susie has low self-esteem and is aware of her faults, such as being selfish and struggling academically. She can also occasionally project her traits onto others.[27] Susie is initially convinced that no one likes her,[28] and is oblivious to Noelle's crush on her.[29] Due to constantly dealing with past stereotyping, false friendships, and frequently moving, Susie resorts to feigning being aloof and distant.[30] Her facade includes putting a menacing front, and often arrives to school late.[31] As the Chapters progress, Susie grows more confident in herself, and begins to embrace her role as a hero from the prophecy.[32] She also begins to realize her potential, value the friends she has,[33] and reluctantly admits that she is becoming softer due to Ralsei's influence.[34] Even after learning of the prophecy's ending, Susie remains defiant, adamantly claiming that she will not let it happen.[35] Years prior to Deltarune, Susie had moved to many different towns before moving to Hometown. In one of the past towns, she once tried to play the public piano at the town's plaza, but was prevented from doing so.[40] That night, Susie returned to the plaza and vandalized the piano by smashing it.[41] She has attended at least one other school. In Hometown, Susie attends the same class as Kris, having arrived as a new student at some point. At an unspecified time after Susie's arrival to Hometown, Toriel found her crying at the graveyard's bench, to which she took Susie to QC's Diner, bought her a hot chocolate and comforted her.[42] Susie is close to being expelled from school due to unknown past incidents[43] and is feared among her classmates as well as by Alphys, due to her bad behavior and threatening appearance. Monster Kid described her as "creepily" watching them and their friends playing handball on one occasion; when the ball rolled over to her, she kicked the ball as hard as possible at Undyne's car.[44] It is vaguely implied that Susie has had a rough home life. Her reaction to her room in Ralsei's castle implies she is unfamiliar with the concept of having her own room,[45] and her tendency to eat pretty much anything even remotely edible could indicate she has been living off of whatever scraps she could find for an extended period of time.
