Macro Ceroba Ketsukane

Ceroba is a fox-like monster with beige fur. She has long, wavy ginger hair up in a ponytail tied by the Founder's Crest: a red bow with a small gold bell in the center. She has a short white dress, the top of which resembles a kimono, with red trim. She wears a red obi sash tied around her waist and white boots with red trim. Unlike Chujin and Kanako, she does not have a tail. Ceroba's design is inspired by the kitsune, trickster fox spirits from Japanese folklore, correlating with her attempt to trick Clover and take their SOUL. Ceroba is the tallest character in the main cast. In battle, she wields a brown staff which again has the Founder's Crest, a bright yellow bell in the center of a red bow. During a fight, her form will change based off of if the user has killed before. In a Pacifist Fight, she puts on Kanako's mask, a white fox mask with pink markings, and drastically changes her appearance. She wears a cape over her dress. Her bow has three bells instead of one and is much larger. Her hair grows to resemble ten fox tails with pink tips. In a Murderer Fight. Ceroba's had already done the evacuation has already completed, and is stopped in the SteamWorks by the user. After initially panicking, she attempts to steady herself so she can comfort him in his final moments. He encourages Ceroba to deliver justice and they hold handpaws before he turns to dust. Ceroba silently runs towards Clover and initiates a battle against them, the first one in the game where the enemy moves first. She expresses her anger over humanity continuing to hurt Monsterkind and that Chujin was right. She tells them she will avenge Starlo. She does not speak for the rest of the battle, not noticing if Clover attempts to taunt her. When she eventually loses, she tells them to go to hell.

Ceroba appears skeptical and somber upon first meeting her. She acts as a straight man in much of the Wild West's antics, yet still makes the occasional sarcastic joke. She almost never cries; even Chujin only saw her cry twice in the time they were married. She is observant, able to read Clover without them speaking. She also has the ability to tell if their SOUL is pure or not, as even in their first conversation, her dialogue changes on a Neutral Route versus a Pacifist Route. She has an outlook that she considers mature. At times, this makes her views more accurate, as she is the only one of Clover's friends who points out that Asgore will kill Clover if they go to New Home; on the other hand, she also holds unrealistic opinions she considers hard truths, such as being convinced that humans will force monsters back Underground once they reach the Surface. She considers Starlo to have not grown up like she did, but expresses some envy over how happy he is. Ceroba is immensely devoted to her loved ones and to Monsterkind. Her devotion turns harmful at times, as she was willing to endanger her daughter and kill Clover for a possibility of fulfilling Chujin's legacy and protecting Monsterkind. She also turns a blind eye to Chujin's negative traits; she always holds him in high regard no matter what information is displayed to her that may say otherwise. She is firm on his legacy as a scientist and a hero of the underground, and she spends the time after his passing trying to complete the work that he had passed down to her. Despite being observant and calling out others on their beliefs, Ceroba has a habit of hiding her issues and avoiding communication. She does not speak up about Starlo's behavior until after the Feisty Four already called him out on how it was making them feel. Nobody outside of her close circle knows about Kanako falling down, and she avoids sharing further information on it. This manifested strongly in her relationship with Chujin. They had poor communication; beyond Chujin keeping secrets their whole relationship, such as including a secret study in their house and experimenting on himself later, Ceroba and Chujin are implied to not have discussed basic plans for their relationship, such as how many children they wanted. She also lied to and manipulated Clover and Starlo in an attempt to get the former's SOUL, though she is not always good at lying.

You had fallen down into the Underground. One small problem... Literally. Everything was massive! The Monsters were towering! You were going to get killed! You had to make it out of the underground! After managing to escape Snowdin, avoiding that Avian Monster, walking under puzzles and managing to get into the SteamWorks. As you were running, you heard something stomping, getting closer and closer! You ran and spotted your hiding spot. A cracked open door. You ran and scrambled into the room, hiding behind a table leg. The door slowly creaked open and a Macro Kitsune Monster walked in. As you were about to run out. The door suddenly closed, the loud click of the lock engaging clicking in your head. Oh. Your dead. You were trapped. You watched as she walked to a desk, slipped off one of her boots, letting thm drop and thud against the ground, steam pouring out of the opening. She seemed... Tired, or maybe she was just overheating
