**Flowey has become Asriel, and his story continues through him.**

## Description

Flowey, like his in-game equivalent, was a soulless Asriel Dreemurr. Frisk took Flowey home with them before leaving the Underground, in hopes of restoring Asriel and his love, eventually. He had 19 attack and 0 defense. Flowey used to reside in Frisk's room on their windowsill.

Flowey liked to play Smash Bros, and mained as Megaman, he said this is because he prefers "projectile attacks." He also played Skyrim and Dark Souls. Sans states in the "Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams" arc that Flowey said his favorite game was Dark Souls, and that Flowey preferred more challenging games, and noted that Flowey seemed to use games as a way to "release his aggression," and that Flowey really wanted to beat Sans in Smash Bros. Flowey had been shown to play on a Nintendo DS and a PC.

Flowey had stated in the Red Echos arc that, "Soulless creatures can only feel two things; basic survival instinct, and the satisfaction of defeating someone in Smash Bros."

## History

### Pre-AFAC

Flowey started as the first golden flower grown in the Underground, after a seed got stuck to Asriel and he inadvertently carried it back to the Underground before dying and coating the seed in his dust [6]. The flower eventually grew and Alphys decided to try injecting the flower with Determination eight days before Frisk fell [11], creating Flowey.

He then acquired the power to Reset and used to to experiment with it, forcing the inhabitants of the Underground to relive the same seven days for thousands of years. During this time, he read every book in the Underground, though he didn't retain things like the Underground's tax code and phone book [17]. He also attempted a Genocide Run, drawing it out as long as he could to stoke fear and torture the Underground's inhabitants [19], before eventually being stopped by Sans. He found it more useful to exploit Papryus's loneliness and befriend and manipulate him during this time because he proved capable of stopping Flowey from hurting someone on multiple occasions and leaving Papyrus unharmed made Sans less likely to intervene [20].

Eventually he got bored enough to allow time to pass to an eighth day, at which time Frisk fell into the Underground and stole his ability to Reset. He retained his ability to remember previous timelines on account of having died once [10]. After manipulating Papyrus into convincing everyone to go to the Barrier, Flowey took all the souls present, giving him enough power to reach through the entire Underground and absorb the souls of the monsters [8]. The rest follows the plot of Undertale. Eventually Frisk came down into the Underground to bring Flowey to live with them. He made them aware of their soul because he reasoned that they could see their soul because Chara had been able to see theirs [14].

### Red Echos

Flowey's first appearance is in a photograph Papyrus took after the monsters escaped Mt. Ebott.

Flowey makes his first real appearance by insulting the Monster House and calling everyone living there garbage. Toriel reminds Flowey that he lives here and he claims he knows that, throwing in a curse word. Toriel gives him a death stare and warns him not to curse again, cowing Flowey. He and Frisk debate/argue about how intimidating Toriel was and Flowey threatens to strangle Frisk in their sleep if they call him "bro" again.

After Gaster is pulled out of The Void, Flowey begins antagonizing him and Gaster calls him the soulless husk of Asriel. Flowey tells Gaster that he should know all about that and reminds him how bad it was in The Void, being unable to interact with his children and suggests that Papyrus and Sans got their worst traits from him. Gaster responds by mocking him with the periodic table.

Flowey's next appearance is in his and Frisk's room asking Frisk why they threw out all the asks. Frisk tells him that they don't want to answer them and Flowey tells them that everyone can tell that Frisk has a crush on Monster Kid. Frisk asks Flowey to go away and he reminds them that this is his room as well and yells for Toriel. Toriel assumes that Flowey is lying and he tells her that Frisk has been moping for hours and haven't played Smash Bros. with him. Toriel begins to talk with Frisk about their feelings about Monster Kid and Frisk claims that they thought they were good at flirting. Flowey quietly mocks them, reminding them that Frisk flirted with Toriel after calling them "mom".

Flowey briefly appears with the main cast after they have managed to climb Mt. Ebott to find Frisk and is present for Chara's attempted murder of Toriel.

Flowey appears with the rest of the cast after Gaster teleports them to Frisk. After Chara falls over, Asgore asks Flowey how he figured out that Chara was the enemy so quickly and he dodges the question by redirecting his attention to Sans. When Frisk explains what they did during the genocide run, Flowey shows the least amount of horror.

While Sans is having a seizure while spewing rainbows from his eyes, Flowey looks on in complete confusion. After Sans "recovers" from getting a knife thrown into his stomach, Flowey calls him a dirty liar and Sans mocks him back.

When Hermann tries to leave, the askers attempt to get Flowey to have a talk with her and he refuses. This doesn't last long, and Flowey rants about how stupid Hermann was for jumping into a swarm of piranhas to save Gaster and that that proves she has a soul. After Gaster and Hermann make up, the askers lament Flowey not having a soulless person to commiserate with. Flowey refutes this by saying that he's incapable of caring, but that he wouldn't wish anyone was soulless. Frisk offers to play Smash Bros. with him and he agrees in surprise. When asked what his favorite character is, he eagerly responds with Megaman.

### Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams

Flowey is first seen in passing the night after Red Echoes playing on a Nintendo DS.

Flowey's first actual appearance is midway through the arc insulting Undyne and Alphys. Goopster notices them and fires an energy blast at him, but Toriel blocks the attack with her body. Flowey is shocked while Asgore and Sans tend to her before getting angry and readying an attack to launch at Goopster. The askers remind him that he is actually feeling for once and Flowey denies this while tears leak out of his eyes. When he notices this, Flowey is horrified. The askers reveal that Flowey has a tiny speck for a soul. Flowey reveals that he felt it, but didn't know what it was before going silent and having an emotional breakdown. The askers give Flowey a copy of Fire Emblem Fates, which only seems to make him worse, and Papyrus attempts to cheer him up by taking him on a drive.

Papyrus and Flowey decide to get nicecream while they're out. An asker asks Flowey if he thinks Toriel knows who he used to be, Papyrus gets confused, and Flowey reveals that he used to be Asriel. This revelation causes Papyrus to nearly crash his car. Papyrus asks Flowey what he should call him and Flowey tells him to stick with Flowey.

Flowey is seen in the background with Papyrus and Jason on their way to the hospital while Sans and Toriel have their heart-to-heart

Jason is complaining profusely about the askers, Papyrus and Flowey, the last of which calls him a crybaby. Jason continues complaining about nicecream not healing anyone and Flowey decides to force feed him nicecream.

After they get to the hospital, Papyrus and Flowey accompanying Jason to the front desk and Flowey snickers at Jason acting high because of the nicecream. He asks Papyrus how long he thinks it will take Jason to realize that his legs aren't actually broken and Papyrus doesn't answer the question.

After Sans throws Adrian through a wall and vandalizes her face, he teleports himself, Papyrus and Flowey home. After Frisk recounts how horrible their parents were, Flowey offers to kill them, but Frisk petitions him not to. Flowey joins the others in solidarity, encouraging Frisk to make their choice of whether or not to contact Adrian.

Flowey's final appearance this arc is in Frisk's bedroom having just lost a match in Super Smash Bros. to them. When Chara appears and tries to reach an understanding with Frisk, Flowey tries to persuade Chara to give up their quest for revenge causing them to teleport away. Flowey tells Frisk that Chara never really talked about their time on the surface. Frisk asks Flowey if it is possible to prove the world is redeemable to Chara, and he tells them that they're pretty stubborn. Frisk comes up with the idea that maybe they could make Chara a cake, and Flowey sarcastically tells them that a cake would work, but then becomes serious after Frisk tells them it would be chocolate.

### Extra Dark Chocolate

Flowey's first appearance this arc is asleep in Frisk's room while Maverick goes through the house.

His first actual appearance is after Maverick rescues Aidrian and Jason and the askers warn Frisk that Aidrian is close to death. The askers ask Flowey what he thinks of the name Maverick Chaosdragon and he says it sound like a lame version of his Skyrim character's name.

Flowey's next appearance is hanging limply from his flower pot as Frisk carries him with them to look for Aidrian. After finding them, Frisk drops Flowey when Aidrian hugs them, waking him up. The askers express concern that Flowey is free from his pot, but he angrily responds, claiming that the pot was just an easy way for Frisk to carry them around. The askers make a fire emblem pun and he gets even angrier.

Flowey returns home with everyone else and summons comments on how Aidrian was a terrible influence on Frisk. When Toriel asks Jason and Aidrian what happened to Asgore, Flowey joins the group in going upstairs to check on him. The askers tell Frisk that Maverick was in the computer room and they drag Flowey with them to check. The askers check on Flowey's soul speck to find that nothing has changed. Frisk wonders where the flashdrive came from and Flowey suggests that maybe Maverick left it by accident. After the computer has a seizure, Frisk drags Flowey off to speak with Gaster. When they decipher Maverick's message, he says that Maverick is probably trying to be an edgy ninja.

Flowey is next seen in a flashback of the point directly before he became the God of Hyperdeath where he had captured the main cast.

His next appearance is in a flashback to after the monsters go free and before Frisk returned to the ruins to bring him back where he spoke to Chara trying to persuade them not to use the Reset Button. Chara destroys the Reset Button, claiming that Frisk needed to learn to live with the consequences of their actions.

Flowey is next seen playing the Innocence Lost quest in Skyrim. When Grelod the Kind was ranting about how none of the orphans were going to get adopted, Flowey killed her. The askers congratulate him on his kill and Flowey reveals his character Draykos Kaotica has a soul stealing enchantment on it and a black soul gem to trap her soul in. The askers question why Draykos Kayotica isn't wearing armor and he chastises them saying that he's wearing hide armor. The askers look at Flowey's soul again to find nothing has changed. The askers tell Flowey that Maverick is an alternate version of him and Flowey says that's as obvious as the fact that Papyrus should ask Mettaton out already. The askers confirm that Papyrus actually did this and Flowey is surprised before asking if Mettaton said yes and telling the askers that he better have if he knows what's good for him. The askers tell him Mettaton did and Flowey realizes he's caring and then laments how incomplete he feels. At that point, Chiller comes to comfort him. Someone gives Chiller the ability to speak and Flowey tells Chiller to stop hugging him. Chiller refuses because Flowey is still sad. The askers comment that Chiller's eyes are scary and when this hurts Chiller's feelings, Flowey angrily says that there's something wrong with the askers' eyes. The askers immediately change their tune and Chiller is happy again, with Flowey grumpily saying that the askers made the right choice.

Flowey's final appearance is at the very end of the arc when the cake is almost finished. He asks what Maverick is doing in The Monster House. Maverick says he doesn't know and Flowey tells him to go back to where he came from causing Maverick to get upset. When Mettaton is icing the cake, Flowey suggests that he put a flower on it.

### The Most Fabulous Place on Earth

Flowey completes his story arc here, as during the last parts, Flowey flies near Callied/Chara. This seperates the rest of his soul from Chara, and turns Chara into a skeleton, and Flowey back into Asriel.
