Toriel

**Toriel**, formerly **Queen Toriel**, is the ex-wife of Asgore, mother of Asriel, and the adoptive mother of Chara. She was the queen of the underground until she left to live the rest of her life in the RUINS. She is the first monster Frisk encounters.

## Appearance

Toriel is a tall Boss Monster that resembles a Nubian goat. She has long, floppy ears, small horns, yellowed eyes, 'glitchy' pupils, red eyebags, and an unnerving smile.

She is normally seen wearing a black torn robe with a Delta Rune on it with white sleeves, and light gray sweatpants.

## Personality

Not much of Toriel is known about personality wise, but it is known Toriel is distrusting towards monsters because of Asgore. She likes to garden, and appears to not be careful as she tends to cut her robe on the thorns when tending to them. She, like Papyrus, is some of the very few monsters who feel genuine remorse when she has to kill.

## History

### Pre-UNDERFELL

#### Pre-Chara

Not much is known about Toriel's ancient past. At some point she marries Asgore and she, along with all the other monsters, is forced to live in the underground, trapped due to a human-made BARRIER.

#### Peri-Chara

Toriel quickly adopts Chara as her own. She, along with Asriel, takes care of them, planning on introducing them to Asgore later to convince him not all humans are hateful. She is caught off-guard when he somewhat welcomes them.

#### Post-Chara

After the events of both Dreemurr children dying, Toriel finds out Asgore was responsible for poisoning Chara. This immediately prompts her to detach from Asgore and retreats into hiding in the RUINS. She loses trust in other monsters because of this.

## Abilities

### Skillset

**Culinary Proficiency:** Even though she is terrible at baking, Toriel can cook food involving meat very well.

**Gardening:** Toriel is able to maintain and tend to a colorful rose garden, though she often gets cut up by the thorns when tending to the garden.

## Relationships

### Asgore

For the longest time, she and Asgore were happily married and genuinely loved each other, despite Asgore's more intense personality. After retreating to the underground, they have a child together named Asriel.

The marriage falls apart when Toriel finds out Asgore had poisoned Chara. The event had caused her to stop loving him and wanting nothing to do with him, prompting her to leave the marriage, throne, and the castle as a whole.

### Asriel

Not much is known about their relationship, but Toriel loved her son and helped raise him. She was devastated by his death.

### Chara

Toriel was the first to accept Chara into the family, and was immediate about it. She adopted them and loved them as her own, treating them equal to her son. When she found out Asgore poisoned them, she wanted nothing to do with him, showing she was just as devastated about their death.

A flavor text in her closet reads "Flowey seems distracted by the name brand chocolate.", which means she likely keeps some around in memory of the late Chara, who enjoyed chocolate.

### Frisk

Frisk is the final human Toriel encounters. It is unknown how exactly she feels about them, but she seems to somewhat tolerate any antics they may put her through, albeit very unamused.

### Sans

Sans is a close friend of Toriel's. The full extent and history of their relationship is unknown, but she enjoys being around him and is seen happily talking to him whilst blushing happily, ignoring Asgore entirely, hinting at least she likes his company and considers him a good friend. It's unknown if she reciprocates Sans's feelings, or if she's aware of his feelings.

### Papyrus

Papyrus is presumably a friend of Toriel's, and not much is known of their relationship. She seems to see him as pleasant to be around, shown in one of UNDERFELL's birthday arts, happily pointing and laughing with him.
