## Personality

Besides for being highly intelligent, River is kind, lively and upbeat. She is a very loving character with strong morals and good intentions though she is capable of anger and violence she usually stays away from it, she is also seen to be extremely overkill and bad@$$ seeing to show a very mature, regal and serious side. Moments showing her overkill and bad@$$ nature is definitely seen in Sw!Fallenswap but it's Glitchswap, brutally beating Jessie Grey far pass submission, making zingers and witty comments, blasting a corrupted terror far over than needed, cursing at Jessie Grey's corpse, and filling Gretchen's mouth with soap, to name a few.

## Brief History/past:

Like with Gaster her past is unknown, what we know about is that she at once lived on the surface and knew Gaster for a very long time, she also did take out very strong humans at a very young age showing the power difference between the living and the undead.

She also has a brother, though only briefly mentioned by Papyrus and literally nothing is known about him it is presumed that they do love each other as they are family also do hold contact with each other.

In pre-events post barrier, she became the royal scientist and worked under the crown she worked with Grandpa Semi on multiple projects, she did create an undestroyable substance of pure negativity in a physical form which later is the cause of Frisk's accidental corruption.

River is the one who banished Frisk into the Terror Realm, and after the ordeal was allowed to keep her position as the Royal Scientist.

J.A River and Gaster do divorce at one point but not because they stopped loving each other but because they were unsuitable at co-parenting with each other and some other unknown reasons.

River falls into the core when she slips on a toy car and breaks the faulty guardrail which is something that Sans totally blames himself for and the final nail in the coffin of Sans' inevitable (but temporary) disappearance and to the start of his permanent spiraling into insanity and despair, which will become complete if the player does a genocide route.

River in Sw!Fallenswap but is Glitchswap plays the same role as Glitchtale W.D Gaster with obvious changes to fit her personality and past, and is much more well liked than GT!Gaster, with Fallen!GS!Ronan, unlike GT!Rave with Jessica, was very much happy with the fact that Elizabeth was crushed and not Prof. J.A River, even saying that he can finally sleep knowing that Elizabeth got what she deserved.

J.A River is the second strongest character in void form with Frisk ranking at number 1 and Sans ranking at number 3.
