==Background==
'''Toriel''' is the second major character the protagonist encounters in ''Undertale''. She saves the protagonist from Flowey and guides them through the Ruins. Toriel is a kind monster that acts as a protective mother for the protagonist. She employs tough love on the protagonist as well as Asgore. She cares for children and was excited to become a mother. She enjoys cooking and bakes butterscotch-cinnamon pie as well as her favorite, snail pie. Toriel has a playful side and loves puns and bad jokes and she even keeps a journal of puns. Toriel is said to be intelligent and dreams of becoming a teacher. She has already prepared a curriculum for the protagonist by the time they reach her home in the Ruins. In the True Pacifist Ending Credits, she stands outside a school and, in the Family Ending of a Neutral Route, she starts her own.

Fallen Down
Heartache
You wish to know how to return "home," do you not? Ahead of us lies the end of the RUINS. A one-way exit to the rest of the underground. I am going to destroy it. No one will ever be able to leave again. Now be a good child and go upstairs.
~ Toriel

Background

Toriel is the second major character the protagonist encounters in Undertale. She saves the protagonist from Flowey and guides them through the Ruins. Toriel is a kind monster that acts as a protective mother for the protagonist. She employs tough love on the protagonist as well as Asgore. She cares for children and was excited to become a mother. She enjoys cooking and bakes butterscotch-cinnamon pie as well as her favorite, snail pie. Toriel has a playful side and loves puns and bad jokes and she even keeps a journal of puns. Toriel is said to be intelligent and dreams of becoming a teacher. She has already prepared a curriculum for the protagonist by the time they reach her home in the Ruins. In the True Pacifist Ending Credits, she stands outside a school and, in the Family Ending of a Neutral Route, she starts her own.

  1. While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water.
    Humans, with their physical forms, are far stronger than us.
    But they will never know the joy of expressing themselves through magic.
    They’ll never get a bullet-pattern birthday card...
  2. Because they are made of magic, monsters’ bodies are attuned to their SOUL.
    If a monster doesn’t want to fight, its defenses will weaken.
    And the crueler the intentions of our enemies, the more their attacks will hurt us.
    Therefore, if a being with a powerful SOUL struck with the desire to kill...
    Um, let’s end the chapter here...
