Aliza

**Aliza** is the main protagonist of *Horrortale* and one of the humans who fell into the underground.

## Profile

### Appearance

Aliza is 12 years old, only wears a violet rag dress, she doesn't even wear shoes nor weapons. But she used to wear a green ribbon. Her hair is light brown and reaching to her shoulders. She is also lot more expressive than the original protagonist, but most of the time she has her eyes closed or scribbled over. She is frail, weak and skinny and her right arm was detached from her.

### Abilities

* **Save** - It was explained by Flowey that she goes back to the point "where she would have wanted to die", her main attribute is "Fear", but Flowey explained that she has a small amount of determination of that.
* **Physical Abilities** - Due to her inherently skinny and weak figure (since she is still growing), she is rather petite and less than physically capable due to starvation.
* **Courage** - Even after being burned on a grill and having her arm torn off, she still tried to help a monster save her pet even though she could've left with Flowey and continue on her journey.

## Main Story

### Snowdin

After Aliza escaped the ruins, she met Sans, who pranked her by pushing a spike in her hand. He told her that Papyrus wants to catch her. Sans then told her to hide behind a corpse. Afterwards, he told Papyrus where she is hiding. Papyrus found her, but let her go because he thought that she is too easy to catch, and that she is only pretending to be weak.

On the first puzzle (Orb and bear trap) Aliza got her head chopped off by a bear trap. On the second try, she used the orb to analyze where is the bear trap.

Then Aliza saved snowman and he gave her his nose.

On the second puzzle, Aliza got stuck in the snow and died. On the second try, she realized that she can't solve it, so she used her first Freebie.

But then Sans realized that she can save, so he tried to tear out her ear, until he heard some suspicious sounds, and ran away. Aliza met Flowey afterwards, and he told her more about the skeletons.

Then Aliza had to choose between Papyrus's spaghetti and Sans's headdog. She chose the spaghetti. Sans then told her that it's made from kids.

### Snowdin Town/Grillby's

Papyrus then dropped her at Grillby's, where she was almost cooked to death until she was teleported outside by Sans. She has her arm ripped off by Sans when he is momentarily taken over by the gnawing hunger.

## Backstory

Contrary to what Sans believed from Aliza's first impression, she was actually well-stocked with love and affection from both of her parents. Unfortunately, at the tender age of six, Aliza started to suffer from monophobia, a fear that leaves one horrified idea of being alone. This would result in her having horrible panic attacks as well as tantrums at the mere thought of being abandoned, which exhausted her parents. Not only were Aliza's parents struggling with their young child's breakdowns, they were also having marital issues, which resulted in Aliza getting pushed away further.

Currently, however, at the age of 12, Aliza is starting to acknowledge and accept her circumstances, even making a few friends at school.

Unfortunately, it was these very friends who convinced her to climb to Mount Ebott.

## Relationships

### Flowey

Flowey more or less serves as Aliza's guide. Helping her along the journey and giving her advice whenever he can. Despite his scathing sarcasm and deformed appearence, he does seem to care for Aliza quite a bit, such as when he agreed to help Aliza in her fruitless efforts to stand up to Undyne. Sadly, they did not have much interaction as Toriel burned him not soon after they met.

### Toriel

Despite her loss of sanity, Toriel is still largely similar to her original counterpart. After learning from Sans on what the Underground has turned into, she vowed to never let another human leave the Ruins again.

Toriel is mainly known for her extreme methods, such as using drugs and poisons to prevent any child from excaping. Even so, she genuinely cares for the children that she imprisons, and Aliza is no exception to this. Toriel has repeatedly attempted to prevent Aliza's escape. When Aliza circumvents her and is about the reach the exit of the Ruins, Toriel uses her final trump card and commands Sans to kill her. After Aliza respawns, she convinces Toriel to let her leave, with Toriel tearfully allowing her to continue on her journey. In the flash game, if the player goes back to the door or the Ruins and talks to the pounding door 3 times, Aliza has to promise Toriel that she will help monsters escape from the underground. This includes not letting Toriel die there. If Aliza says no, then Toriel will retreat back into her cave and incinerate Aliza.

### Sans

Their relationship isn't exactly positive. Sans has been known for being humored at Aliza's pain, such as damaging her ear as an "unfortunate penalty", making fire jokes at her expense after being scorched beyond measure at Grillby's, as well as pretty much every other interaction they share.

Despite all of this, he does seem to have a grasp of morals, such as telling Aliza to leave before succumbing to his hunger pangs. However, it can also be argued that he did this, not for Aliza, but because he swore himself not to eat anything that moves (in this case, a human)

### Papyrus

He tried his best to test Aliza with his puzzles. When she survives, through each puzzle, he lets her go forward. He seems to have a growing affinity for her, but won't bat an eye(or socket) at her pain or demise.
