(Btw he’s 5’5)

Anyway context time

This takes place during a genocide run specifically after the player kills his brother. this is why his soul stain has changed color

Also he’s covered in his brothers dust as all monsters have a colored dust depending on what soul traits have stained them

The Story of the First and Last Meeting

After a while, they decided to make contact with them, which went better than they expected! Though, there was a problem, even when the humans let them live in peace amongst them, most agreed that their actions and attitudes were different, hard to express… Why…?

Many could feel the change in the humans’ demeanor. After in many moons, monsterkind had finally placed the reason for the change in the humans’ demeanor. As the humans had noticed something about the monsters present in their world. As the sound us monsters produced was addictive to them.

As time passed, the humans became more intrigued with the melodies our kind made. Becoming more irrational, the humans decided they needed control over the melodies that monsterkind produced. So the humans pondered on the options in front of them, eventually deciding that monsters were beneath them.

Once the decision had been declared, the monsters were enraged over the humans’ decision, leading to a conflict breaking out in the center of the city. Eventually, the monsters had decided to retreat back to their old underground prison vowing never to reunite with the humans in a peaceful manner again.

Though in the midst of all the fighting, the king had found a weak human, not much bigger than his own soul. Realizing the young one couldn’t survive in the city on its own, the king scooped the young one into his cape shielding the little one from the prying eyes of his subjects.

Once back in their old prison, the monsters decided on what to do next. One suggestion was to recruit a guard to watch over the entrance of the underground. Before the first rotation finished, a lone human wandered onto the monsters’ territory. Frightened, the monsters attacked mercilessly, killing the human with little effort.

Watching the human’s unmoving body fall into a puddle of its own being, its soul reacting with the remnants of the magic that made up the barrier. Casting the land in a delicate violet light before abruptly snapping into a breathtaking shield, slowly crystallizing around the mountain.

As the barrier formed, the king noticed the soft violet hue being cast onto his kingdom. Feeling the magic of the human’s soul intertwine with his own, Filled with the power of perseverance. He will lead his kingdom through the hardships ahead of them. Though, the bearer seems similar in compassion to the original. The monsters found a sort of comfort in their new found imprisonment.

You will not encounter her until stumbling across her home this will be accomplished by having me path blocked by some particularly thick snow while trying to find a way around it you find a a mailbox and an arrow pointing into the grotto when reading the mailbox, it will display the text ( Torial’s home) heading up into the grotto will reveal a small loog cabin.

Knocking on the door will lead to a familiar voice calling out saying that they’ll be there in a s econd once they open the door, they’ll be hit with a wave of shock, realizing almost immediately, you’re the human that they ran into earlier in the day still wary of you but concerned of how thin your clothes are for how cold it is, she will reluctantly bring you inside.

once inside she tells you to stay by the fire and starts to look and see if she has anything warm in your size. She will come back a few moments later with a small fluffy jacket. This jacket is also a piece of armor. checking its stats reads (a thick and soft jacket that smells of firewood. Is to big for you) (defense +5 speed-2) she will ask why you decided to visit her home you will tell her it is because the path was blocked and you wanted to see if you could find a way around.

at this point there is a shift depending on the route that you have taken, if this is a neutral or pacifist route the following description will happen

She’ll take a moment to think before, nodding to herself, and stating that she remembers some of the teens practicing their magic out there. she’ll take a moment to think before stating that she will go out and help you clear the path, though you can tell her she still doesn’t fully like you Not really understanding why you’ll start to head out the door. she will not let you leave until you wear the jacket. If you refuse to wear the jacket twice, she will engage in a fight mainly because this is how she has to get the teens in the area to realize that she’s serious.

The fight looks very similar to her fight in Undertale. tho the main two differences is she’s not as soft with her tone and wild fights. Don’t need a rhythm to be able to be completed. If you can find the rhythm in the pattern you will never be hit as all battles will have an underlying rhythm. (If I ever get the chance to attempt animation I’d love to make one of the fights! I’d also love to get better at pixel art to make sprites) depending on if you spar her or kill her during the fight it will go into a different path detailed in pacifist or neutral

If she’s killed — you can head back to the baracade only to find nothing has changed tho if you interact with the snow you will get the text (it doesn’t seem as solid as earlier maybe that house has a shovel) so if you go back to the house and explore you can find a shovel in one of the cuberd’s if you continue to look around you can find a slice of cornbread and a cornbread muffin. Then you bring the shovel back to the snow mound and can clear it tho the shovel will get stuck so you have to leave it behind. (pacifist and neutral will be the same after you leave the shovel behind)

After you spar Tori she will say (I have forgotten the strength of you humans, tho I can’t help but remember an old friend) then turn to leave before turning to ask if your coming with her. Continue’s same as a pacifist run

As both of you start to head down the path back to where the mound of snow sits you’ll hear her talk about how she deeply loves all of the kids in the area. She just wishes that they would think about how their actions have consequences for others not just themselves once you get to the blockade, she’ll hand you a shovel and she’ll start using her fire magic. once the snow is cleared. You realize that she doesn’t really look at you with the hate that she did just mirror moments ago. her feature soften, and her voice softens a little bit as well. she thinks you for the help before handing you a piece of cornbread and a couple (2) cornbread muffins as a thank you. The check description of this slice of cornbread is similar to the slice of butterscotch cinnamon pie in the regular game. tho the muffins read (a soft but hearty treat best enjoyed hot with butter heals 25HP)

This is melodytale’s Toriel!

Clothing— I wanted something that had more of a flow to it. as the style of lyer I chose originated in Greece! and I wanted something to represent that tho still have parts exposed as I.. well I don’t know why but she was given the personality of a southern mother that still has some sass in her being. All I know is I’m not changing that. She also needed something different as she lives in Snowden forest. The symbol on her back is the top portion of the deltarune. this is to give reference to the fact she abandoned her people but still holds her morals as that believe the top portion is the savior of the kingdom and the triangles are the people of the kingdom. Tho interpretation is up to you as I can see it working in many different ways as the original meaning was lost to time.

Physical appearance— as this isnt a species swap she is still a goat. tho I feel changing her paws to hooves helps convey that better. her markings are in reference to how burn scars can look, as I don’t think she’d take to her magic right away. They are just markings tho as she gains them when she isn’t confident in her magic.

The harts on her paws are stylized paw pads tho the color’s are significant as they do represent the soul traits of perseverance (left) and kindness (right) this is because or the barear. As they set it up all monsters are charged with human magic leading to a fonomana waer a monster has a trait so strong they get stained with that color. it can happen a couple different ways at first tho the mark will eventually form into a hart somewhere on the monsters body! these marks will never be able to be covered as if cloth is placed over for a small amount of time it will start to stain the cloth.

Sound point— Toriel’s sound coms from the strings on her head/horns. An incident happened that caused her to need to get a prosthetic which is why she has a pole drilled into her horns. This is also the reason that she isn’t recognized as the dead queen as sound is the main way that you’d identify someone.

the circle on he four head is just a marking there to represent the space a lyer would normally have cutout

Personality— as stated in the beginning she has the personality of a southern mother that still has some sass in her being. This is mostly because of where she lives as she tends to Rangel the teens in the forest. mostly keeping them out of trouble and making sure they’re fed with her favorite dish to make cornbread!

Why cornbread well she found a recipe card in waterfall and decided to try it and loved it. The monsters of Snowden love it to as many will wander out to her home to perches some.

She will recognize you as human instantly. Tho she will not try to protect you from being taken as she dose agree with the killing of humans to keep the barrier from falling. Tho she doesn’t agree with the methods implemented. as she believes no human should suffer it should be quick and nearly painless.
