Why DOES his first design look like that? From an in-universe perspective, okay, he's probably disguising himself because he doesn't know what having friends is like and he's sticking to the "friendly, vaguely railroady tutorial companion" bit, but from the bits of art that we've seen from Toby, it's clear his chapter 2 design was the one that was always intended for him and is probably his true form, but at the same time, some of the newsletters and even the chapter 2 trailer use his first design. It could be to just to disguise himself around Toriel to keep her from questioning the nature of the dark world too deeply, but in both cases, she's clearly nowhere near them.

Buenas... noches! How are you? Who are you? Who sent you?
