Papyrus

**Papyrus** is the brother of Sans, and the most cheerful monster in the current situation. He is one of the few mostly safe monsters, as he does not outright attack Aliza.

## Appearance

His eyes are really small and sunken, and his scarf is torn. His teeth are crooked and dirty from something red. (Either from his "special spaghetti" or blood). His bones and and body has grown due to his ”special spaghetti.”

## Personality

He is still a very cheerful and nice monster in his personality and demeanor. He doesn't dislike humans, and is willing to kill and eat them without hesitation, but will still try to make friends. He still has a bubbly outlook, but he has become much more outright morbid and dark in both his speaking and his puzzles.

Even though he is willing to eat humans,[citation needed] Papyrus is willing to protect ones he holds a bond with. One of which is Aliza. With Flowey's advice, she was able to befriend him. So far throughout the comic, he has protected her from harm three different times. The first of which was ,at the cost of a freebie, when he kept the Snowdin residents from eating her alive. The second time was when Sans succumbed to his hunger and almost ate her arm and Papyrus knocked the sense into him per his request. The third of which was when he willing protected her from Sans due to a miscommunication without reason.

## Comic

### Snowdin Forest

Sans warned Aliza about Papyrus, and told her to hide behind a corpse. Then, he tells Papyrus about Aliza, and lets Papyrus find her.

At first, he was happy that he caught a human. But then he became suspicious, because it was too easy. He assumed that Aliza is trying to lower his guard, so he ran away to prepare some puzzles.

At the first puzzle, Aliza died, because Papyrus argued with his brother instead of properly explaining rules to her. When she loaded her save, she solved it, surprising Papyrus.

The second puzzle required one to walk on a strip of blue snow. Aliza, rightfully believing that there must be a trick, tries to walk around it instead. Unsurprisingly, a cluster of bones blocks her path, surprising her. In her shock, she accidentally stumbles onto the deadly trail.

The snow starts to pull her in while the young girl is pleading to be saved. This falls on deaf ears, as Sans starts explaining the rules (similar to his original counterpart)

"If you see blue snow, don't walk on it, and it won't hurt you."

Desperate, Aliza begs for a freebie but is unable to flash the sign due to her hands being trapped under the snow.

As Sans finishes his spiel, Aliza starts to suffocate, begging for a freebie one last time.

When Aliza loads again (presumably near the trail), she immediately flashes the sign. This brings Papyrus aback, as he claims that she didn't even attempt to cross it. Sans mocks her, remarking that "he'd never seen a human too stupid to not walk around the damn thing".

Aliza then shoots a sharp glare at him, which now takes *him* aback. He asks her, "What's your problem *meat bait*, can't take a joke?"

The child refused to move, which prompts Papyrus to order Sans to retrieve her. Sans refuses, which makes Papyrus go in and get Aliza himself. He emerges, claiming that "you humans make such a big deal out of everything". Sans then remarks on Aliza's knowledge of the puzzle to use the freebie, claiming that she's a "clever girl".

### Snowdin Town

Papyrus left her at Grillby's. Afterwards, he saved her from being grilled to death, and announced (rather smugly), that Queen Undyne has arrived.

He stops Sans from giving in to his hunger by (rather comedically) punching him and stating it shouldn't be considered murder because Sans asked him to. He then warns him that Undyne really was here, much to both his and Sans' horror. Sans tells him that if he isn't there for roll call, Undyne will go to find him. Since that was too big a risk since Aliza was still wandering around Snowdin, Sans goes to find her while Papyrus heads to Undyne.

## Relationships

**Sans** - Their relationship is pretty much the same. However, Sans seems to get irritated with Papyrus more often, which is a byproduct of the many years spent underground. Regardless, Papyrus still cares for Sans, showing regret for (comedically) punching him.

**Undyne** - She is described as rather abusive to Papyrus. He seems to be really terrified of failing her. He always wants to avoid being "trained" by her.

**Aliza** - When she encounters him for the first time, he will note her scrawny appearance and offers her some spaghetti. Then she must solve five deadly puzzles. If she survives, Papyrus will give her a Medal of honor, which allows her to interact with other monsters at Snowdin. He never attacks her directly. When Sans threatened Aliza after it seemed she told everyone, including Undyne, that she was his daughter, Papyrus defended Aliza and said he was really to blame for the miscommunication.
