Kris Dreemur (fem)

Kris Dreemurr is the main protagonist of Deltarune. She is the quiet first hero of the prophecy, who becomes braver in later Chapters. Kris lives together with her mother, Toriel, at the Dreemurr residence in northern Hometown. Kris is 23 years old.

While in a Dark World, Kris functions as the party's leader, issuing commands, giving equipment, and managing the team's inventory. During a battle, Kris excels at ACTing, and their ACTs have varying effects. Kris wields a sword to deal damage, and can summon a separate, pink shield when DEFENDing.

Kris is a human girl teenager with shoulder-length brown hair, with a couple of stray strands sticking out at the back of her head. Kris's long bangs are somewhat messy and are mainly swept to the left, which also casts a shadow over her red eyes. In certain circumstances, Kris's eyes turn red and glow, such as when Kris descends into a Dark World. Kris's clothes consists of a brown collared, long-sleeve lime shirt with one horizontal yellow stripe, and nondescript brown pants and red converse shoes. Their shirt uses the lime green and yellow colors from the default Microsoft Paint palette. She also has black fingerless gloves she cherishes deeply. She always has a knife in her pocket, just in case.

In a Dark World, Kris's skin becomes cyan blue, and her hair color changes to navy. Kris's clothes are also replaced with silver armor, which makes her resemble a knight. This includes a set of pauldrons on her shoulders, a cuirass for their upper torso, two cuffed gauntlet leather gloves, and a set of greaves and sabatons covering their lower legs and feet. Kris gains a navy blue armless bodysuit underneath the set, and a pink cape/mantle/ascot drapes across her right shoulder. The shading for their skin and armor is also used for their mantle, which gives the illusion of blue stripes in a few of their sprites. Kris's body language is markedly different when she is about to remove or have removed the SOUL. In this state, she appear to struggle to move; her head is shown hunched over tilted down, and she stumbles and staggers when walking. Her animations also have a noticeably higher frame rate in this state. Kris is quiet and introverted. Her reticence causes others, such as Susie, to be more observant of Kris's body language to gauge her reactions. Kris tends to speak in a "deadpan, mumbly voice", which causes others to occasionally repeat what she say. However, during the events of Deltarune, Noelle notes that Kris's voice sounds unusual, as if it was "on speaker".

Kris is not normally energetic. She has a history of not waking up on time, and often sleeps through the start of class. Kris also prefers someone else getting her to and from school. After Kris's brother, Asriel, left for college, she grew distant from her few friends in the intervening time before the events of Deltarune. Kris's side of her and Asriel's shared bedroom is strikingly bare; the shared game console rests underneath Asriel's bed, their old children's books are stored in Toriel's classroom, and there is nothing on their shelves. It is implied that Kris enjoys thinking back on her childhood, and that she is unsettled by the thought of growing up. Contrary to Kris's apparent detachment, she has a variety of interests. Kris has always been mischievous, frequently pulling pranks on Noelle such as hiding under her bed to scare her. Kris also attempted to flush a bath bomb down the toilet at her home at some point, and Toriel is wary that she will try it again. When she were younger, Kris studied the occult with Catti. She appears to still have an interest in the topic, as one of their search queries shown in Queen's Mansion is "how to use magic". Kris also likes video games, having frequently played games with Asriel in her childhood and being good enough that she can seemingly defeat Berdly in competitive games. Kris is shown to have some knowledge of anime and its related subculture, showing a distaste for some words associated with it, such as "tsundere". She also have some interest in cars, but seem to be embarrassed about it.

Kris enjoys playing the piano, and she has searched for tutorials to play video game songs. She is proficient, as Toriel and the nurse praise Kris's skills. During the events of Deltarune, Kris is not able to fully and smoothly play the piano with the player's input. Kris still has an interest in playing the piano, as she can play piano renditions of the Deltarune soundtrack offscreen, and has a negative reaction to the "I'll never play again" prompt in Chapter 4.

Kris favors sweet food, with Toriel's pie being their favorite. She enjoys chocolates, as she always sneaks one unprompted from a Box of Heart Candy, and preferd a Hot Chocolate to have "melted candy bars". Additionally, Choco Diamonds heal Kris the most compared to the other party members. At one point, she dedicated some of their time to mix together chocolate syrup with milk and gulp the concoction down all at once.

The Dreemurr residence, also referred to as Kris's House , is the home of Kris, Frisk and Chara in Deltarune. It is a tidy two-story home located far north in Hometown, where it is surrounded by trees and has a driveway heading south.

Ralsei is a short Darkner. During Chapter 1, the pointed green hat covers his horns, and conceals his features in shadow, making his fur appear black. The tuft on Ralsei's head and the tips of his ears are unkempt, and his two fangs peek in front of his scarf. Ralsei wears round green glasses, a pink scarf, and a long, green robe with a black heart in the center, and the lower sweep appearing tattered. His arms are usually hidden beneath his robe, so in battle his scarf sometimes acts as an arm and and can lift his hat to use an item. Occasionally, he reveals his arms and the robe's long green sleeves, such as when using a spell.

Ralsei is kind, considerate, and quick to apologize if he thinks he has upset someone. He is also gentle and believes that FIGHTing is unnecessary, favoring pacifism in battles while leaving the final decision to Kris. However, he himself makes an exception to this rule if an enemy is inherently hostile and cannot be SPAREd.

Ralsei is affectionate, and loves both giving and receiving hugs. He once hugged the Dummy to "test it out", can perform Heal Prayer with a hug and ask Kris to hug him instead of the Dummy. Being complimented or given affection easily flusters him, and he is often self-conscious, citing this as the reason he concealed his face by wearing a shadow-casting hat.

Ralsei is reluctant to get angry. At most, he appears disappointed when Kris or Susie act mean. Ralsei is somewhat naive and innocent, as he readily forgives King when he feigns surrender, but learns to not always be so trustful of others after King's ambush.

Susie is a tall, teenage reptilian monster with lavender purple scales. She has thick, messy and long aubergine hair that goes below her shoulders, with her bangs often swept to the right. Susie has black pupils and yellow scleras that can glow in the dark, a snout, freckles on her cheeks, and sharp yellow teeth. Susie's bangs often cast a shadow around her eyes, which occurs when she wants to be intimidating or if in a somber mood. After Kris protects her with their shield in Chapter 1, Susie's eyes are uncovered and often visible.

Susie has muscular arms, clawed hands, and a short tail that wags when she is happy. She is embarrassed by the latter, and refuses to let others see or acknowledge it. Susie's reaction to Jevilstail indicates that she would rather not have a short tail. Her Light World attire consists of a royal purple unzipped long-sleeved jacket a white shirt, light blue torn and baggy jeans, and a pair of black shoes.

In the Dark World, Susie's scales changes to orchid purple, and her hair is dark plum colored. Her clothes are replaced with a long black sleeveless vest with purple-trimming, a sleeveless dark purple shirt, a black belt with a golden heart buckle, dark plum cargo pants, and black boots with golden soles. Around Susie's wrists and triceps are sets of black bracelets with golden spikes.

Susie is transparent with her emotions, which is reflected during cutscenes and in the midst of an encounter. She often makes an exaggerated expression and pose when angered, surprised, or amused. Some of these sprites occasionally depicts Susie's sclera and teeth as white instead of yellow. Some of these poses are also references, such as her "Sheeh!" pose, which originates from the Osomatsu-kun manga, or performing a team fist pump pose similar to Crono's victory pose in Chrono Trigger.

Susie is outspoken, rude, sarcastic, is brutally honest, and is quick to insult. She is selfish and rebellious, tending to protest or favor her own interests. At times, she threatens with physical violence, occasionally as a joke. In a Dark World, Susie generally has no qualms with FIGHTing Darkners unless she is friends with them.

However, Susie is more gentle and more mindful to those who are kind to her. With friends, she is expressive, willing to talk about herself and considerate of their opinions. Susie enjoys being with her friends, and often favors teasing them. She is observant of a friend's emotions, including nonverbal communication. If she sees a friend in discomfort, Susie often tries to be compassionate by being concerned, but often choosing to not ask about stressful topics. Susie is also loyal, readily wanting to assist a friend if they are in danger or troubled.

In general, Susie enjoys childish antics and causing mischief. This ranges from dressing up as a box, wanting to enter a freezer to chasing Maus on all fours. She likes compliments, and is easily flattered. Susie enjoys receiving gifts, and is possessive of items given to her. She also can refuse certain equipment choices, such as having armor removed or re-equipping Mane Ax, and dislikes wearing ribbons.

Susie is gluttonous, as she complains if Ralsei is given Dark Candy. She eats almost anything, such as chalk, and she reacts positively to the non-food in her refrigerator in Ralsei's castle. Susie favors moss, Darkburger,bmarshmallows, and peppermint, such as the Light World version of ReviveMint.

She seems to fall asleep easily, as Ralsei's Sing instantly makes her sleep. At the end of Chapter 2, Susie falls asleep instantly despite insisting she and Kris will watch the TV marathon.

At the start of Deltarune, Susie has low self-esteem and is aware of her faults, such as being selfish and struggling academically. She can also occasionally project her traits onto others. Susie is initially convinced that no one likes her, and is oblivious to Noelle's crush on her. Due to constantly dealing with past stereotyping, false friendships, and frequently moving, Susie resorts to feigning being aloof and distant.

As the Chapters progress, Susie grows more confident in herself, and begins to embrace her role as a hero from the prophecy. She also begins to realize her potential by accepting to continue thinking in her own way. Even after learning of the prophecy's ending, Susie remains defiant, adamantly claiming that she will not let it happen.

Noelle Holiday is one of the main characters of Deltarune. She is one of Kris's classmates, as well as their neighbor and childhood friend. Noelle is kind-hearted and timid, and gradually learns to stand up for herself in later Chapters. She lives on the northwest side of Hometown with Carol, and routinely visits Rudy in the hospital.

Noelle gains a major role in Chapter 2 after entering a Dark World. She wields a ring during encounters, and temporarily joins the party in Cyber City. Noelle can use MAGIC, and her spells are an ice-themed mix of attack and support, such as IceShock and Sleep Mist. In Chapter 4, Noelle temporarily joins the study group at her home.

Noelle is a teenage, reindeer-like monster with short brown fur. The top of her head has two three-pronged, rounded velvet antlers, two deer ears on the side, and thick, long golden blonde hair. Her face has large eyes with eyelashes, freckles on her cheeks, a snout with a red nose and buck teeth. She has paws, a short raised brown tail with a white underside, and black hooves for feet.

Her clothes consist of a red and green checkered V-neck sweater with black sleeves, which is over a white button-up shirt, and a black skirt. Noelle's outfit resembles traditional private school female uniforms. This fashion choice is often associated with the prestige of such institutions, making her stand out from her more casually-dressed peers, and could be an early hint at her family's wealth.

Noelle's red nose is likely a reference to the Christmas story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, while her red and green sweater is associated with Christmas colors. Reindeer are often associated with Christmas, such as Santa's reindeer.

In the Dark World, Noelle's hair is pale blonde and her fur has a slight pink tint. She wears a long white hooded cloak with long wide sleeves, always with the hood down. Unlike her Light World appearance, where she smiles by default, she has a neutral, unsmiling expression in the Dark World.

Noelle is friendly and cheerful, often seen smiling and laughing. She is considerate, helping Alphys retrieve chalk and Berdly and Kris with studying and homework. Her speech mannerisms are very polite in the Japanese localization.

Noelle is also very timid, easily flustered, unassertive, and sometimes has trouble voicing her thoughts. She apologizes often, and stays quiet about her feelings, such as her crush on Susie or her frustration with Berdly. Her father describes her as "defenseless" and scared of everything, including horror movies, bugs, and Santa Claus. She becomes braver from her adventures in the Cyber World, standing up to Queen near the end of Chapter 2, losing her fear of mice, and angrily shaking Berdly when he admits his attraction to Susie (later fantasizing about doing it again). She shows even more fearlessness in the Weird Route, at least temporarily. After returning to the Light World, she directly asks Susie about her tail, and is no longer flustered nor afraid when around Susie.

She likes feeling scared since she associates fear with being comforted. This is likely the reason why she seems attracted to the idea of Susie bullying her and hot female Santas (which she is likely afraid of). She nostalgically recalls Kris's scary childhood pranks on her, and enjoys Susie's good-natured scaring of her in Chapter 4.

Like her parents, Noelle seems fond of Christmas and makes many reference to the holiday, including calling Kris "Krismas" like her parents do and using Christmas-themed pencils.

Berdly, who is the top of their class in terms of grades, considers Noelle smarter than him. She was nearly first place in a spelling bee she participated in as a child and is member of their school's cross country team.

Along with Berdly and Susie, she enjoys playing video games like the Dragon Blazers and Blood Crushers series. She compares the Cyber World to video games, and likes eerie video game glitches. She seems familiar with meme culture, believing Susie made a pop culture reference.

Noelle appears to dislike meat and enjoy eating lettuce, and has decreased healing from Darkburgers. This is likely due to real-life reindeer being herbivores.

She considers herself "weird". She has also expressed a desire to adopt what she and Susie jokingly considered "a severed hand" as a pet.

Noelle has an interest in the Angel or some aspects of it, as she frequently wears the small angel wings from her childhood, and enjoys the idea of having large angel wings and flying.

A Dark World is an alternate reality inhabited by Darkners. Dark Worlds are brought into existence by Dark Fountains and exist within various areas of Hometown/the "Light World". Dark Worlds are where the majority of Deltarune takes place

Dark Worlds are powered by Dark Fountains, which a Lightner can create by projecting their "determination" into a sharp object and piercing the ground. When the surrounding environment becomes subsumed in darkness, the Fountain gives form to a Dark World.

Each Dark World consists of the contents and environments of the location where it was created, although a Dark World can appear much bigger than the location's real size. For example, the Hometown location of the Card Kingdom Dark World is the unused classroom, which contains a rug with a similar colors to Field, a checkerboard corresponding to the Great Board, and a cupboard filled with playing cards similar to Card Castle.

Dark Worlds are capable of giving digital files and images shown on wall posters physical forms, as shown in the Cyber World, where multiple Darkners that are the personifications of digital concepts (such as computer viruses, pop-up advertisements, and anti-virus software) can be encountered, and a poster of a Ferris wheel on the wall is shown to have turned into an actual Ferris wheel in Queen's Mansion.

Several Dark World objects have much more mundane Hometown equivalents: Kris's weapons correspond to pencils or an Eraser, and the Shadow Crystal corresponds to a shard of Glass. However, some objects, such as Noelle's Silver Watch, the Egg, and the BlackShard, directly match their Hometown counterparts.

Dark Worlds are home to a population known as Darkners, who differ from the Light World's population, referred to as Lightners. As with their surroundings, most Darkners correspond to items found in a Dark Fountain's immediate vicinity, or ideas related to them.

The Dark Fountains are important phenomena in the plot of Deltarune. Dark Fountains are large, gushing pillars of darkness which any "determined" Lightner can summon. Within the Light World space in which they are created, these Fountains give form to a localized Dark World. The "will" of a given Fountain is reflected in the Darkners who inhabit the world it creates. When a Dark Fountain is created in the Light World, it takes the form of an opaque black fog that fills the location it was made in. Sealing new Fountains has been the heroes' primary goal in each Chapter of the game thus far.

The SOUL is the very essence of one's being. It plays a crucial role in the plot and progression of Deltarune. A human SOUL takes on the form of a heart.

Kris is able to remove their SOUL in certain situations. Without it, they cannot be controlled by the player, and their movement appears to be stilted and unnatural, with sporadic bursts of sudden action.

The SOUL also plays an important role during combat, in which bullets are directed at it and must be dodged at the consequence of the party members taking damage.

Kris's SOUL takes on the appearance of a heart symbol. Most of the time, the SOUL points downwards; however, when in the yellow SOUL mode, it points to the right, where the bullets originate from, and in the green SOUL mode, it cannot move and has to block bullets directed at it.

It is implied in Chapter 4 that the appearance of a red, downwards-pointing heart is associated only with human SOULs. However, no such counterpart is shown for monsters or Darkners.

Kris does not like the SOUL and will rip it out when she is alone (it hurts badly)
