## Description

Toriel is the ex-wife of Asgore Dreemurr, Asriel's biological mother, and Chara and Frisk's adoptive mother. Toriel is first introduced at the beginning of the comic. She runs a school for both humans and monsters, though Frisk is currently the only human student enrolled.

## Parenting

Since coming to the Surface, Toriel has acquired many different books on child development from various perspectives, ranging in topics from the general methods to how to care for children to developmental disorders and childhood trauma. She reads them for both the pleasure of it and because the knowledge is useful for both a mother and teacher [17]. Toriel's goal is to give Frisk a safe, supportive environment to be themselves. Frisk has a lot of freedom, but Toriel tries to guide them to use that freedom to make good choices [29]. She is not one to yell when angry, so Frisk generally doesn't get flashback to Susan's parenting, but if this does happen, Toriel will put her feelings aside to make Frisk feel safe. Such occurrences are rare [38].

### Video Games

When it comes to video games that are for people older than 10, Toriel allows the children to play them provided an adult is present [16], but she needs to be convinced that they should be allowed to play the game. Essentially, there is a video game court of appeals with Frisk as the lawyer. She secretly uses this process to secretly teach Frisk, Chara, and Asriel about debate and speech [18]. Dating simulators are rigorously screened because Alphys told her that some of them become pornographic or psychological horror [37].

**Approved Games**

* Doom. *Reason:* Doomguy only kills evil demons, and thus the rule [16].
* Skyrim. *Reason:* Skyrim was bringing out morality in Flowey due to not killing a dog when offered a powerful axe in exchange for its death.

**Unapproved Games**

* GTA 5. *Reason:* Excessive violence, a lack of morality in both the player and the enemies, and a lack of incentive to do good [18].

### Anime

Toriel uses Alphys and Undyne as a way of vetting anime for Frisk to watch [22].

**Banned Anime [22]**

* Attack on Titan
* Baccano!
* Berserk
* Elfen Lied
* Kill la Kill
* Puella Madoka Magica
* Samurai Champloo

### Cooking

Toriel cooks regularly, and is prone to stress baking. Most of the dishes she knows how to make involve the use of fire magic, but through the use of sauces, she is also capable of making vegetables taste good, even to children [43].

Toriel's snail pie is made by de-shelling the snails and tossing them into a mixture of butter, lemon, and garlic mixture before being put in the pie shell. The result is a savory pie with a chewy texture. The texture is often found to be off-putting despite the taste being mild and inoffensive. Toriel enjoys both the taste and texture. The only member of the house who can also appreciate such a pie is Alphys, who shies away from eating a raw snail with the shell still on like Toriel will sometimes do [33].

## Arcs

### Pre-AFAC

Toriel's parents were terrible cooks, so Toriel learned the craft to save the family from burned food for every meal. By age twelve, she was the designated household chef [12]. Following her departure from New Home to the Ruins, she regularly checked for humans who fell down, whether alive or dead. In the event someone had died on landing, she buried them. Those that fell were a couple of hikers, a poacher, and a moose that she figured the poacher was trying to shoot, judging by the bullet inside it [14].

In her youth, she and Asgore were informally betrothed. The arrangement would be called off if they were unable to form a connection. As a result, she never dated anyone else before him [39]. After Toriel defeated Asgore in a single shot during a training match, Asgore changed into a more humble person and she fell in love with the person he became. Eventually they were married [2]. Over the course of their time together, Toriel grew as a gardener and taught Asgore cooking. Her cooking ability exceeds his, but Asgore is the better gardener [7].

After Chara nearly died of scurvy, she learned how to make human food so that Chara didn't have to cook for themselves all the time [46].

When Asriel and Chara were killed and Asgore declared war on humanity, Toriel immediately confronted him. The ensuing argument ended with Toriel feeling betrayed by Asgore and Monsterkind as a whole and that she was the only one to be horrified at the prospect of killing humans. And so, she exiled herself to the Ruins. She took Chara's body with her to both give them a proper burial, and to prevent Asgore from experimenting on it [40].

After the Barrier went down, those who fell were dug up and identified so that Toriel could return them to their families [14]. In the early days of being on the Surface, Toriel would glare at Asgore whenever he entered the room [40].

Toriel has made a formal appearance in every arc so far.

## Trivia

* She only realized that Flowey was Asriel when Goopster nearly killed her trying to blast Flowey [1].
* Her name was almost Victoriel, but her parents decided that Toriel sounded better [6].
* Because Asriel has returned, she and Asgore are beginning to age again and they will live to see their grandchildren [13].
* She has never heard of Homestuck [15].
* No one has yet mistaken her for a fursuiter [20].
* Toriel would have allowed a monster through the door to Snowdin, but no one asked because she was so intimidating [21].
* Toriel is a surprisingly calm and devious imposter, and also a diligent crewmember. She's good at faking tasks, and good at telling when others are faking their tasks [23] [24].
* She only knows the names of around five superheroes [26].
* She is aware that Chara has a massive crush on Asriel, but is keeping the knowledge to herself because she doesn't think it's her place to say anything [27].
* Toriel will eat snails, raw or cooked, with or without the shell [32]. However, a large snail, such as the giant african land snail is too large and cute for Toriel to consider eating [34]. She considers slugs to be less tasty than snails due to lacking a shell, but still tasty [35].
* She has a wide variety of socks for various occasions [36].
* Toriel will never accept any of Asgore's excuses for the terrible things he did as king, but does recognize that he is making efforts to repair the damage he did [40].
* Toriel prefers herbal teas like chamomile for their soothing scent. When she does drink coffee, she does so primarily for the caffeine, putting a little milk and cream in, but even less sugar if she does at all [44].
* Toriel doesn't care for spicy food [45].
* She makes needlepoint art as a hobby, and it gets displayed around the house [47].
