*"Welcome. I am the Prince of this Kingdom...The KINGDOM OF DARKNESS."*

-Ralsei introducing himself in Volume 1; Chapter [WIP]

**Ralsei** is a Darkner and one of the deuteragonists (along with Susie) of *Deltarune*. He claims to be the "Prince from the Dark" mentioned in the Prophecy.

Having weaker attack and less max health, and with the ability to cast healing spells, Ralsei acts as the party's healer.

## Personality

Ralsei is very humble and kind, showing genuine care for the well-being of his friends to the point of selflessness. At the beginning of Chapter 1, Ralsei tries his best to befriend Kris and Susie in order to fulfill The Prophecy with them. Trying to be on good terms, he shows reluctance at getting angry and appears disappointed when Kris or Susie act mean. Nevertheless, Ralsei remains convinced that they have good in them and that fighting is not necessary in this world. His naivety almost costs him his life when he accepts King's fake-out surrender and heals him, allowing him to betray and defeat them. Ralsei learns from this to not always be so trustful of others.

Ralsei enjoys baking cakes, especially for his friends. This caring side sometimes shows up when he encourages Susie, Kris, Jaden, and Clover to do their homework, emphasizing the importance of education, indicating his responsible nature. Despite his occasionally bossy behavior, he is himself prone to being the one bossed around, especially by Susie. He becomes flustered when receiving gifts or affection, likely due to his past isolation and lack of familiarity with others.

Although gentle and shy, Ralsei is equally courageous, as he seldom retreats in the face of danger and displays no fear in life-threatening situations.
Ralsei also differs from other Darkners in that he is able to survive in any Dark World without turning to stone. He is also aware of the connection between a Dark World and the Light World, as he knows about the unused classroom and its connection to the Card Kingdom.

## Physical appearance

Ralsei is a stubby Darkner. He initially wears a hooded, dark blue cloak which obscures his face, resembling the River Person. During Chapter 1, Ralsei's pointed green hat covers his horns, concealing his entire face in shadow, only the tip of his ears show color, which is white. His hat also has stars hanging of its edges. He wears round yellow glasses, a pink scarf with a heart pattern, and a long, green coat with a black heart in the center. He also has long black sleeves that obscure his hands. He also has yellow ankle wraps, and a green overcoat that obscures his sleeves.

At the end of Chapter 1, Ralsei resembles that of a goat. He still wears yellow glasses, but he now has pink shaded horns, and pink fur accents. Without his glasses, his eyes are visibly pink-colored with detailed eyelashes and what appears to be pink eyeshadow.

In Chapter 2, certain details of Ralsei's robe change compared to his Chapter 1 appearance. He now has a white bow wrapped around his waist, tightening his robe and making it look more like a dress, and the green overcoat he had previously is now gone, fully revealing his sleeves and upper half.

When downed in battle, Ralsei disappears, leaving only his clothes on the ground.

## Relationships

### Kris

Ralsei deeply cares about Kris. He wants to befriend Kris in order to create the trio of heroes mentioned in the prophecy, which he wishes to fulfill. Ralsei is very respectful and friendly to Kris, even to the point of offering to fan Kris with a leaf like a servant or pretending that he is okay with being hit. Even if Kris acts rudely towards Ralsei, he won't be offended by them, and may even blame himself. Ralsei also appears to be easily embarrassed or intimidated by Kris as it's easy for Kris to make him blush, as seen when Kris stands too close to him. They are a trio (with the addition of Clover.) for the half of Volume 1, before Susie and Jaden change their ways and joins them again.

It is very implied during Volume 2, that Ralsei had developed romantic feelings towards Kris after their initial meeting. Considering how easy it is for Kris to make him flush and stammer. Later, when they split up from Jaden and Clover into the Tunnel Of Love, they hang out as a duo and slowly improve their relationship.

### Susie

Ralsei wants to be friends with Susie for the same reason he wants to befriend Kris. However, Susie doesn't appreciate the way Ralsei tries to coach her, as he constantly teaches her to be nice to others. Susie eventually abandons the party and forms a rivalry with Ralsei. However, this rivalry is more childish than hateful; Susie tends to mock him, calling him "toothpaste boy" during her time with Lancer. Ralsei, on the other hand, seems to regret having offended Susie and still cares about her. After Susie joins the party again, she eventually decides to stop making fun of Ralsei after he promises to bake cakes for her.

They interact more during Volume 2, and Ralsei even heals Susie after she falls off the trash pile in Cyber City. Later, when they split up from Kris, they hang out as a duo and teach some things to each other, slowly improving their relationship.

### Clover

Despite Clover not being in the prophecy, he still wishes to befriend her. He is very polite towards her, feeling bad that he doesn't know her name due to her not being in the legend mentioned before. He tries to be nice to her, offering her training that she refuses, giving advice that she doesn't take at first. He expresses to Kris that he believes Clover might not like him due to something he might have did, he blames himself despite not doing anything wrong. Eventually, Clover warms up to the prince throughout Volume 1, her previously hostile and dismissive manner ceasing once they're captured and imprisoned.

Due to them both being healers, and that they have to be in the same party, Ralsei teaches Clover how to use her wand and her scythe. He's rather ecstatic about teaching her, or perhaps he was excited that she trusted him more. They interact more in Volume 2, high fiving, sharing items equipped by Kris, LEMON, or PLAYER, and even cracking similar jokes. At some point Clover even agrees to let Ralsei braid her hair, showing her trust in him.

### Lancer

Ralsei is not intimidated by Lancer; he finds his antics amusing and sometimes "a bit anticlimactic." In an attempt to make fun of Ralsei, Lancer calls him names like "sweet basket of eggs," "toothpaste boy," "Sweet Little Peas We Love to See," and other names along those lines. Even though their rivalry isn't very strong to begin with, the two officially become friends after Lancer and Susie lose the fight against the team. When Kris, Jaden, Clover and Susie are preparing to leave, he tells them to say goodbye to Ralsei for him, even though Ralsei isn't leaving, because he's "a sweet little peach," indicating that their rivalry has completely faded. They have more interactions during Chapter 2 and Ralsei even makes a room for him in his castle (along with the ones he made for Kris, Jaden, Clover and Susie as well).
