Undyne

## Description

Undyne is a degmiato woman in charge of the Hearth's library. She is perceived to be strange and alien by most people.

She originates from the Shoal, but her circumstances aren't fully known

## Appearance

Undyne is a tall woman with pale skin and long pink hair. She has blue eyes with a tinge of pink around her slitted pupils, and her horns are a dark shade of blue-grey.

## Personality

Undyne has an otherworldly presence about her. Despite that, she is approachable and never shows hostility to anyone. She always remains polite, but is not afraid to speak her mind if there's conflict. Despite her mature appearance, her peculiar origins can make her behave strangely, as she's much younger in mind than body. Although she maintains her serious image, she is capable of sassiness at times

Nero notes that her expression is unreadable most of the time, and her glare is icy. She is one of the few people in the Hearth to openly revere Rhukka, and she has unpopular opinions about her that might be considered blasphemous by Rhukane's authorities

## Powers

Being degmiato and coming from the shoal, it can be reasonably assumed that she is quite capable of defending herself, even though she's never been seen so far in combat situations. She assures Nero she's able to give as much as the shoal gave her.

Her vim allows her to see things, she professes that there's nothing in this world she's not able to see. The full intricacies and extent of her ability are not known yet

## Affiliation

#### Gran Hearth

As it's librarian, Undyne is an employee of the Hearth. While she prides herself in her library, she has no loyalty towards either the Hearth or Rhukane, most likely due to her degmiato nature and the stigma that comes with it

## Relationship with Other Characters

#### Nero

She shows interest in Nero, although some of it might come from her being not fully aware of conduct around men due to her upbringing. She initially warns Nero to keep away from Tabitha but afterwards she tries to garner his help with Tabby's situation

#### Tabitha

Tabitha took her in when she appeared to her in the shoal as a newborn in the body of an adult. The two of them are very close and will stick together, despite a few spats and going behind each other's backs at times

#### Kalista

Undyne is civil towards Kalista, but Kalista is less dallying with her. Kalista's attitude towards her seems to derive on their opposing views on Rhukka

#### Chelsey

They worked together on a case, the relationship was cordial but remained professional.

#### Violeta

As with Chelsey, The relationship was professional, though Violeta lightly tried to have Undyne reveal her vim to them

#### Astrid

Despite her usual flowery expression, Astrid appears to hold Undyne in contempt. Undyne frontally opposed Astrid when she started to talk about becoming a witch, incuring Astrid's spiteful remarks

#### Beatrice

The two of them aren't seen interacting often, though Undyne praises Beatrice for her studious efforts, and she looks out for her by trying to convince her not to become a witch
