## History:

Alphys made her first appearance in 70s pre-events, along with Undyne, Napstabot (then Napstablook, names will be used interchangeably), and Muffet. She makes her first appearance as a young child riding in a shopping cart down a hill in Waterfall with Undyne and Napstablook, where she crashes into Sans and breaks his prosthetic leg.

Alphys and her friends get a lesson in discipline and Sans makes them take up his responsibilities as punishment, though he is completely capable of doing it himself even without his leg.

Alphys took a very quick liking to Sans and considered him like the Dad she never had, meaning Alphys doesn’t have an actual father and was created by her mother alone or her father dusted. Sans became a mentor to Alphys and trained her in fighting and combat from an early age, Alphys developed a close familial bond with him and idolized him immensely.

Alphys' childhood isn’t just her looking up to Sans, She was very close to Undyne and Napstablook, constantly playing and being around them, it’s unknown whether or not Alphys knows Hapstablook (Fallen!Mettaton), but she does know Muffet and occasionally interacted with her. Alphys exchanged BFF necklaces with Undyne at one point, promising to always be there for each other, but Alphys later betrays her in the far future.

Alphys joined the royal guard and trained for 14 years because she kept failing certain tests, eventually Sans exempted her from the test and knighted her.

Alphys loved to follow around Sans and do things for him, Alphys may have not been the best at her job but she was dedicated and loyal to the crown and sworn to the honor of the Deltarune, though eventually she betrayed it…

Alphys tries to kill Chara but is interrupted by Sans and her own clumsiness, even her helmet fell down and closed on her causing her to say “ahh F\*\*K!”

Alphys is shown throughout pre-events to be lively and kind of a suck up, very clingy also energetic, dedicated, eager and overall great alacrity in her goals and career.

When Toriel is slain by Chara, Sans becomes temporary monarch until Sariel is of age to assume the throne, Alphys’ clinginess causes misbehavior from Sans’ lack of attention to her, thus Sans suspending her until she gets her act together. Alphys becomes vulnerable to Frisk’s influence and gets tricked into taking over the underground.

With the help of prisoners, ableists, psychopaths and evil monsters, Alphys betrays everyone and kills multiple characters, most notably Semi Sheriffs and Undyne, but only captures Napstabot which he did eventually escape. She also “killed” Gaster but he eventually comes back but since his gem is cracked it was very slow.

Alphys hires Dr. Gretchen Kali M.D, who is a medical doctor, Soul specialist and psychologist, Gretchen helps Alphys greatly as both a scientist, alily and as a psychiatrist. Gretchen is highly intelligent and diligent in her work.

Alphys eventually sets her goal on breaking the barrier, securing the prophecy of the Deltarune to end humanity’s reign and let only the worthy live, this becomes her main ambition and she doesn't mess around about it.

Alphys suppressed most of Hotlands by using force and village raids, she ordered monsters to resist her to die or be captured and imprisioned to torture, no matter age, many families were separated and killed, according to a survivor,

They quote; *“stormed through our village, beheading everyone in sight, they killed my parents and made me watch, they beat a young child, no older than 3, to death, and ripped carrying monsters baby’s soul out of them and made them watch their child die, they kidnapped guards and took prisionars of war. There was dust everywhere, they took my best friend and all I can hope is that she is still alive and all of those creatures who did such a thing to my village parish and be damned”*

Alphys fights Sans no matter the route though depending on your choices changes how the battle ends, this ranges from her being killed, forgiven, overthrown, jailed or self-exiled/self-banishment.

In pacifist, she self-exiles herself to the underground and stays there alone to punish herself and to maintain the underground.
