She wears a long purple robe with white sleeves and the Delta Rune on the chest. Toriel can also be seen with reading glasses, when reading a book on snail facts.

Personality Toriel is a kind monster that acts as a protective mother figure for the protagonist. She is sincere in expressing her love through words and actions, such as when she was married to Asgore.[1] She employs tough love on the protagonist and Asgore. Toriel cares for children and was excited to become a mother.[2]

Toriel's hobbies includes baking, reading, writing puns, bug-hunting,[3] and tending to flowers. She enjoys baking Butterscotch Pie, as well as her favorite, Snail Pie. She has read many books in her home, and has a journal full of puns.[4] She enjoyed puns even before meeting Sans.[5]

Toriel is said to be intelligent[6] and can come off as intimidating when she is serious.[7] Toriel is meticulous in her goals, and was often referred by her title when she was the queen.[8]

Toriel aspires to be a teacher. She offers instructions on puzzles[9] and prepares a curriculum for the protagonist.[10] In the True Pacifist Ending Credits, she stands outside a school and, in the Family Ending of the Neutral Route, she starts her own.

Her full name is Toriel Dreemurr, she is also one of the three known Boss Monsters and a member of the Dreemurr family along with Asgore and Asriel

Before the events of Undertale, Toriel was married to King Asgore and had a son, Asriel. When the first human fell into the Underground, she adopted them as their child. When the deaths of their two children pushed Asgore to declare war on humanity, Toriel became disgusted by his actions. She left him, retrieved the first human's body so she could give them a proper burial,[11] and remained in the Ruins.

Toriel often checks the entrance to the Ruins to tend to the bed of Golden Flowers[12] and aid those who fall into the Underground.[13] It is implied that she had cared for the previous six fallen humans in the same way she cares for the protagonist before their eventual depart.[14][15] Sometime after that, Toriel and Sans became friends over knock-knock jokes they shared at the Ruins's exit door. One day, she requested that he promises to protect humans that exit through the door.[16]
