**Temmie** is the first major character encountered by the protagonist in *TS!Underswap*. They act as a major antagonist towards Chara throughout their journey through Ruined Home.

## Profile

### Appearance

Temmie is a plush with the appearance of both a cat and dog, having features from each. They have a cat-like body, with floppy white ears (resembling a dog's) and two pointy ears (resembling a cat's), with shoulder-length gray hair. Their only clothing is a yellow and blue striped shirt. They apparently have the ability to morph their body, being able to grow large, clawed hands and distort their face.

### Personality

On the surface, Temmie appears to have a ditzy and silly personality, with their dialogue written in randomized lowercase and uppercase letters. However, this appears to just be a facade in order to hide their true intentions.  If someone catches on to Temmie's false persona, they simply drop the act. Temmie appears to inherit traits from Flowey from *Undertale*, wanting to steal the protagonist's SOUL.

Near the end of the Ruined Home, it is revealed that they are only one of many Temmies, which they seem to be inferior to.

## Main Story

Nothing much is known about Temmie, other than they are a silly, cotton-filled creature. However, they are truly sadistic and most of what we see of them is a façade. The very first one the player sees is a seemingly faceless Temmie in a yellow suit carrying a book that narrates the opening scene of the game, of monsters loosing the war and being sealed, the legend of Mt. Ebott, and Frisk falling in.

Chara first encounters Temmie running an information stand that they refer to as the Tem Shop. While being friendly at first, they cut their dopey act before attempting to kill Chara. To the plush's misfortune however, Asgore (albeit unknowingly) saves the fallen human from their fate. Temmie then observes Chara from the shadows until the end of Ruined Home, where they will have a different interaction with Chara depending on the player's choices. On every route, they will speak almost entirely in proper English during this encounter, before revealing six more Temmies, each with a different face and personality. It is unknown how many Temmies there are, but they seem to be only one of many.

On the Pacifist and Neutral Routes, the Temmies surround Chara with the intent to kill them, but Flowey shows up to stop the group, resulting in the Temmies fleeing.

On the Ruthless Route, the Temmies are impressed with Chara's actions and offer their support to help finish the job. However, Chara does not appear to show any interest in the partnership and advances on the Temmies, scaring off all but the original Temmie. Before Chara can take the opportunity to kill them however, Flowey appears. Temmie blames Flowey for Chara's aggressiveness and attempts to kill him, but he flings the plush monster away with a flower pellet.

On Evacuated Neutral, upon aborting a Ruthless route in Ruined Home, Temmie appears and is unimpressed with Chara's actions, before five of the other Temmies reveal themselves to laugh at the human before leaving.

Three Temmies are later seen on the end of Starstruck Village on a Compassion/Neutral Route, one with slit eyes and wearing a hooligan attire, another in pajamas, and the narrator from the intro. The Narrator questions the Hooligan and Sleepy Temmies what Chara is done before explaining how Chara has "friends" in not only Asgore and Crossbones, but Flowey too, and need to isolate them to take their SOUL. However, Sleepy tries to alert Narrator of Chara's presence, only realizes after being annoyed that the human was watching. The three Temmies promptly go quiet after the Narrator tells Chara to "not worry" and continue to Crystal Springs.
