ItzZaira (GachaTuber)

Full name Ziara Heart, she is a female wolf-dreamer gacha hybrid.

## Appearance

#### Episode 1: The Ninth...Human?

Zaira recounts how she originally ended up falling into the Underground, and how miraculous it was that she survived. She awakens, confused, and is approached by Flowey, who introduces himself to a disoriented Zaira. He shows Zaira how to FIGHT and about her SOUL before cracking and attacking her, laughing all the while at her low HP, and comparing it to Sans's HP of 1, before escaping. Zaira panicks momentarily upon not being able to feel her wolf ears, before stumbling upon a mirror and realizing she was detransformed, as well as remembering the war, and deciding to hide the fact that she has magic, as well as pretend to be a human.

She walks in on Flowey and Toriel arguing over whether or not the ninth human (Zaira) has fallen, as Toriel had previously checked the Ruins and no one had fallen down. Flowey just escapes, and Toriel turns around to see Zaira, before introducing herself, and asking for Zaira's name. She then show's Zaira around the Ruins, but before that, Zaira finds a SAVE Point. After healing Zaira and checking her SOUL, learning she has a soul of KINDNESS. Toriel is about to show her to her room, and Zaira finally fully puts her trust in Toriel, and tells Toriel her name.

Toriel brings Zaira to her room and bades her goodnight before quickly walking out of the room, inadvertantly allowing Zaira to sense her worry and reflect on her hybrid wolf/dreemer bloodline, and wondering about the source of Toriel's worry. While doing this, she unkowningly transforms back into a wolf, her ears popping suddenly into existance.

With the sudden materialization of her ears, she can overhear Toriel's phonecall with Alphys, telling the scientist that the ninth human has actually fallen, and fretting about how low her HP is, assuring her that she won't let leave Zaira leave the ruins, as well as the fact that Zaira's LV is not high (Only a LV of 2, that's normal), and finally asking her to let Frisk know that she won't be able to come home to her, and to go stay with Sans and Papyrus until then.

Zaira, worridly, heads back to bed, making sure to de-transform before going to sleep. In her final moments of conciousness, she reflects on what Flowey had said to her earlier, and wonders who "Sans" was.

#### Episode 2: The Underground

Zaira wakes up, confused, and wonders where she is, before remembering that she had fallen into The Underground, and it was not in fact, just a bad dream. She wonders about the state of her friends above the surface, wishing for a way to assure them that she's fine. She leaves the bedroom and walks into the kitchen to see Toriel making breakfast. The latter greets her, and she responds in kind. Toriel speaks about her teaching Zaira things after they eat breakfast, to which Zaira questions why she needs to know it. Toriel tells her that monsters use puzzles a lot, especially against humans. and how they will try and kill her, but if she shows them MERCY, she should be fine. Zaira is also informed that she may not leave The Ruins, and the two eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Toriel tells her to, no matter what, always spare monsters, and that way she'll be fine. Zaira thinks about this for a moment before asking what happened to the other eight children, especially if she's the ninth. Toriel sadly informs her of the deaths of the first seven children, angrily talking about how monsters, but especially ASGORE had killed them. Zaira questions who Asgore is, and Toriel derisivley tells her that he's the king of the Underground, before angrily explaining her reasoning on why Zaira isn't allowed to leave the Ruins, as Toriel may not be able to stand another death of and innocent child. She calms down for a moment before talking about how the eight human, Frisk, is alive and well in the Underground. Zaira gets off the couch and asks her why Asgore needed to kill the humans, and Toriel informs her about how the barrier could be broken, allowing monsters to get to the surface. Zaira worridly asks Toriel why she didn't just kill her right then, asking her if she wanted to be free. Toriel acquiesces, and explains that while she does want freedom, she doesn't want to resort to murder to get it. Toriel then goes silent, and Zaira feels Toriel's sadness. She hugs Toriel, surprising her. Toriel, after a moment, accepts the hug, and they eventually continue the lesson.

This repeats several times, until Zaira is thuroughly tired of doing the same thing every single day. This eventually goes to her head, and she yells "Enough" at Toriel, asking her how long she plans to keep her locked up, before calming down and continuing that she knows Toriel is scared for her, but she's going crazy stuck in the Ruins, escpecially with how small they are, and that, yes, it's dangerous outside. During this, Zaira's eyes turn red, signaling her anger, but she keeps them closed so as to not reveal that she's not human. Toriel is quiet for a moment, before starting a fight with Zaira, yelling at her to prove that she is capable of surviving outside of the Ruins. Zaira responds that she doesn't want to fight, but Toriel immediately strikes, lowering her HP by three points. Toriel proclaims that this battle is one Zaira cannot win. Zaira concedes to give her "a fight," pulling up the action screen and telling Toriel a pun, which she laughs at, before getting serious again, and saying that Zaira will not get past her, before sending out a flurry of attacks, all of which Zaira dodges, to Toriel's surprise. Zaira uses her turn to tell Toriel that no matter how many times she sends attacks towards her, she won't fight back. Toriel collapses and starts crying, and the battle ends. A teary Toriel questions Zaira on why she won't fight back. Zaira reminds Toriel of the time when she tought her that she will be fine if she spares monsters. As Toriel moves herself to her feet as Zaira walks towards her, letting her know that while she doesn't want to attack monsters, she does know how to defend herself. Then she brings up Frisk, intoning that if Frisk can live happily with the monsters, Zaira can as well. Zaira continues on, saying that she remembers Toriel lives in Snowdin, and that she can get a map and go there, and then they will see eachother again, as well as the fact that Zaira will get to meet Frisk, before asking Toriel how that sounds. Toriel smiles, and says it sounds good. She leaves the room, and Zaira smiles, taking notice of a new SAVE point, which she uses with only slight hesitation.

Toriel returns, handing her a map to Snowdin, and asks her if she's really sure about leaving the Ruins. Zaira responds that she's "Positive". Toriel nods, and tells Zaira she'll see her in Snowdin. Zaira smiles, and she walks out of the ruins, only to see Flowey waiting for her. He repeats his original greeting, before cutting to the chase and angrily explaining the Save, Load and Reset abilities Zaira gained upon falling down. He complains that the power used to belong to him, but then Frisk fell down, taking the ability. He talks about his many genocide runs, and then starts talking about how when Frisk gained the power to Reset, her Genocide runs amazed him, and how hilarious it was when Sans went nuts. Zaira cuts in to retort about how it can't be true, as there's no way to kill someone then ressurect them, and also, wouldn't somebody confront him about just killing everything? Flowey laughs, revealing that nobody can actually remember the resets, except for him, Frisk, and Sans. He complains, again, about hwo things got boring after Frisk stopped doing Genocide Runs, as well as when she stopped Reseting, before asking her what she will do with the ability. Zaira starts panicking, hoping that Flowey is lying. A while later, she's walking along the path to Snowdin, shivering, when suddenly and unkown voice asks her if she knows how to greet a new friend, as well as telling her to turn around and shake his hand. Zaira, worridly, complies, shaking Sans's hand and setting off his whoopie-cushion-in-the-hand-trick. Sans introduces himself to Zaira, and she remembers all the previous mentions of Sans.

#### Episode 3: The skelebros

Zaira stands in front of Sans, having a windows vista error breakdown, and Sans is concerned for her by the time she finally starts laughing, and apologizing about having been caught off guard, and telling him the the whoopie cushion was hilarious. She continues on, by telling him her name. After a moment, Sans respondes cheerfully about having met a human who likes jokes, cracking a pun in the process. This causes Zaira to crack up, surprising Sans further. After she stops laughing, Zaira responds with a pun of her own, and Sans laughs, before letting her know that he's actually supposed to be looking for humans at that time, before admitting that he doesn't really want to capture her. However, his brother Papyrus is a human hunting fanatic who will try to capture her at at all costs, although he wouldn't hurt a fly, before admitting that he will still attack. He then walks even closer to Zaira, before letting her know that if she even thinks about hurting Papyrus, he'd make her wish she'd never been born. In another sudden emotional change, he informs Zaira he has to leave, bading her goodbye, while Zaira feels that Sans is scared.

After Sans uses his shortcut to leave, Zaira starts worrying about his soul, as it was so weak she could barely feel it, as well as being full of scars, cracks, and possibly some corruption as well, before summarizing that it may be because Sans could remember Resets. She starts puzzling on trying to figure out what a Reset is, and what a Genocide Run is. As she stands there, she is filled with DETERMINATION to help Sans, which, in turn, turns part of her soul into a Determination trait. She turns to go to Snowdin, before being confronted by the SAVE Point, which she uses.

Zaira walks in on Papyrus raging at Sans's latest pun, and he's about to explain, most likely by cracking another pun, before noticing Zaira, at which point he trails off. Papyrus turns around, noticing Zaira, and exclaiming loudly in surprise. Sans deadpans by asking him if Papyrus would believe him if he said Zaira was a rock. Zaira introduces herself, also cracking a pun, which Papyrus willfully ignores, before going back into full ecstatic panic mode over there being a human standing in front of him. He announces to Zaira that she would never be able to get past him, before running away to set up his puzzles. After he leaves, Zaira comments on how nice Papyrus seems, and Sans replies with a stunned, "How did you know?." Zaira begins to walk over to him, responding that he had told her Papyrus's name. She helps him up before continuing to speak, promising Sans that she had no interest in harming Papyrus. Sans seems to shut down at this, and Zaira feels that he's hurting. Sans's friendly demeanor drops, and he mutters "Sure..." before teleporting away again. Again, Zaira feels DETERMINATION to help Sans, changing even more of her soul into the DT Trait, and saving on the spot.

Zaira solves every one of Papyrus's puzzles, much to his delight, and she tells him that it would be rude to ignore something he'd worked so hard on. Papyrus thanks her, before immediately starting a battle, even if he doesn't want to. While he hesitates, Zaira feels that Papyrus doesn't want to fight, and that Sans's fear is rising steadily. She thinks for a moment, before picking up a nearby stick, much to Papyrus's confusion. She walks over to him and pokes him with it, before ordering him to take the stick from her, which he does. At this, she cries out at loosing her "Special Attack." Papyrus finally hits her, lowering her HP to 1/5 and thanking Toriel for not hitting her, before she collapses to the ground dramatically, crying out that this battle was too much for her, and that she'd have to continue the battle after she'd healed.

After a moment of silence, Papyrus awkardly announces to Sans that they'd have to continue fighting later, before walking away, still holding the stick, only turning back to Sans to admonish him for not coming to rest after such a hard battle. Sans questions her motives for doing that as Zaira gets up, being filled with KINDNESS. She reminds Sans that she'd promised not to fight his brother. She continues that she was going to go find something to heal herself with, and begins walking away. Right as she's about to leave, Sans thanks her for not attacking Papyrus, and for keeping her promise. Zaira responds "any time" and continues walking.

As Zaira finally gets into Snowdin, she checks to make sure that there's nobody around, before healing herself with magic, maxing out her HP, and Saving again. Suddenly, Papryus charges back towards her, shouting "HUMAN", and declaring that he's healed up so now it's time to battle again. Zaira barely gets a protest out before Papyrus starts a real battle. She goes first, and spends her turn telling Papyrus that she has no interest in fighting. Papyrus responds that she won't escape, and sends a basic bone attack at her, which she dodges with ease. She chooses to talk again, telling Papyrus that she would like to be his friend. Papyrus stutters, before giving her a surprise bone attack from behind, which hits her, cutting her down to 1/5 HP again. Zaira feels that Papyrus seems sad, before using her turn to give a speach, improved by her powers letting her know what she should say. She tells him that she doesn't want to be enemies, just friends, and she tells him that everyone can be good if they just try. Papyrus chooses to Mercy her, and she responds in kind, ending the battle on a peaceful note. As the battle ends, Zaira sees Papyrus crying, and then dropping to his knees. He starts whimpering about how all he needed to do to get into the Royal Guard was capture a human, and how he can't even do that properly, and how he'll never have any friends because of it. As he starts crying harder, Ziara reflects on how similar what he said was with things she had said in the past. She's filled with KINDESS as she begins walking towards Papyrus, knowing she can help him. She hugs Papyrus, surprising him, before declaring that if he couldn't get into the Royal Guard the way they want, it's their loss, reminding him that he is The Great Papyrus, after all. Then she reminds him that if he thinks he has no friends, he's forgetting Sans, and telling him that if he wants, they can be friends as well. After a moment of silence, Papyrus gets up and hugs her gratefully. She backs out of the hug awkwardly, and Papyrus asks her what was wrong, as he'd only hugged her. He asks if she's never gotten a hug before, and she tells him she's not used to Mercy, even though she has a soul of KINDNESS, no one else has ever been kind to her, and that all she's good for is being kind to others. Papyrus hugs her again, asking for her to allow him to help, if that's the case. Zaira leans into the hug this time, possibly tearing up. Papyrus also reminds her that they were friends, after all, and that maxes out her HP. Surprised, Papyrus remarks that he was unaware that a soul trait/trade could actually heal someone. She thanks him, to which he responds "anytime." Before knocking her down with a mighty "ANYWAY" and proceeding to concede that he does have friends in Undyne, Alphys, Toriel, Sans, Frisk and now Zaira. This fills her with Kindness. A few moments later, Zaira yelps, only just now realizing that she's been sitting on snow for the past few minutes, and that it's very, very cold, escpecially when one's wearing a dress. Papyrus remarks that she doesn't have the right clothes for Snowdin, but not to worry, because Papyrus would get her new clothes. She reminds him that he doesn't have to. He knocks that out of the way, before remarking that they should bring Sans as well so that they could get to know one another better. He leaves, and a SAVE point appears. This time however, she hesitates before SAVING, reflecting on the fact that she needs to find Flowey and get him to explain what the SAVE Point does.

#### Episode 4: Sickness

Papyrus and Zaira are walking around in Snowdin, looking for Sans, when Zaira feels that Papyrus is worried. She asks him what's wrong, and he acts as if nothing is wrong. She tells him that she can feel something is wrong (literally). Papyrus pauses before responding that they've been looking for Sans for some time now, and that they haven't seen a trace of him. Zaira tries to reassure Papyrus, starting to tell him that she's sure nothing is wrong, but Papyrus tonelessly tells her that "No, it happens often." Papyrus tells Zaira that Sans tends to dissapear for an indeterminate amount of time, and whenever he returns, he claims nothing is wrong, although Papyrus can tell something is in fact wrong. Inwardly, Zaira remarks that yes, there is something wrong with Sans, a cracked soul, however, she says nothing. Outwardly, she reminds Papyrus that she last saw Sans at Papyrus's puzzle, and there's a chance of him still being there. Papyrus agrees, and the two start walking back towards Sans's last known location.

After finding Sans, the three go shopping to get Zaira Snowdin-ready clothes, and after changing, Zaira asks Sans and Papyrus's opinons on her outift. After a few moments of staring at the brothers' stunned faces, Zaira intones that her scarf and jacket were inspired by Papyrus and San, respectively, as a thanks for the two being so kind to her. Then she adds that she also wanted to look as cool as "The Great Papyrus." Papyrus jumps up rushing off to pay for the clothes, and leaves Zaira and Sans alone. As Zaira starts heading after Papyrus, Sans stands up from the chair he'd been sitting in, asking her why she was doing these things. Zaira, slightly confused, asks if he's talking about making Papyrus happy, before responding that it's because she likes seeing people happy. After a moment, Sans thanks her for making her brother happy. Zaira responds that making people happy is *Childs*play. A stunned Sans stares at her, to which she gives him a "Don't look at me like that," before continuing that Sans must know how Human-rous the pun she had just cracked was. Sans starts to laugh, and Zaira continues to crack more puns, until Papyrus returns, asking her why Sans had corrupted her. Zaira cracks another pun, and Papyrus, suffering, tells them to get going, and walks out the door. Zaira feels that she made Sans happy, and Sans thanks her again. She gives another "Anytime!" and reminds him that Papyrus is waiting before walking out the door.

Hours later, Zaira begins to bade farewell/goodnight to the skeleton brothers, but Papyrus asks her where she's going to be staying that night. Zaira awkwardly, and slightly reluctantly, reveals that she doesn't actually have anywhere to sleep that night, and was just planning to find somewhere before dark. She begins to walk away, before Papyrus volunteers his and Sans's couch to Zaira, inviting her to stay with them. Sans questions whether or not that would be a good idea, a question that Papyrus dismisses, although Zaira can feel that Sans is panicking. Zaira realizes that if she agrees to stay with the brothers, she would most likely end up giving Sans a heart attack. She rejects Papyrus's offer. Suddenly, Sans tells her that she won't be able to find anywhere else to stay except with the skelebros, pointing out that even with her new clothes, Zaira would freeze (possibly to death) out in Snowdin during the night. Zaira feels that Sans is scared. She agrees to stay with them, cheering Papyrus up immeasurably. Zaira questions if Sans just helped her to make Papyrus happy. Said skeleton informs Zaira that she's welcome to stay with them as long as she'd like, before starting to drag Sans away, directing Zaira to follow him to their house. As Papyrus and Sans walk away, Zaira gushes about hwo cute the two of them are, spawning a SAVE Point. She saves, and starts contemplating on her visit to Toriel, and her Determination to find Flowey.

Inside Papyrus and Sans's house, Papyrus again refers to Zaira as "Human," at which point Zaira tells her what her name is. Papyrus is not deterred, refering to her as "Human-Zaira." This causes Sans to laugh. Papyrus turns around and starts asking him why he finds it so funny, before noticing the bandages on Sans's arms. Sans tries to play it off as having fallen down the stairs. Zaira, suddenly overwhelmed by the large burst of emotions (specifically sadness), is overcome by pain, collapsing to the floor with a yelp. When the two brothers start to question her, Zaira tries to play it off as an allergy, and runs outside to take her medicine. Once outside, Zaira forcefully transforms, her hair turning a light blue, signalling sadness. Zaira exhaustedly wonders why she's transformed, also wondering why her hair had turned blue, as, to her present knowledge, it had never done so before, only changing to red when she got angry. She suddenly remembers the dozens, if not hundreds of times that her hair and eyes had turned blue previously, finally connecting it to sadness. As her hair fades back to it's natural color, she perplexedly wonders why her hair had turned blue if she hadn't been sad. Abruptly, she realizes she may have reacted to Sans's emotions, realizing that if he is sad, that he was lying, and questions his motivation behind doing so. She stops this train of thought, transforming back into her human form. She remembers having left Sans and Papyrus (or possibly hears one of them shout), and runs back into their house. She runs in on the two of them yelling at one another. Sans's jacket is off, and you can clearly see the cuts on his arms, which she recognizes as Flowey's doing, at least partially. Papyrus apologizes to Zaira, claiming that the two brothers weren't themselves that day, and that Sans had better show him his HP on the double. Sans stops responding, and collapses to the ground in front of them.
