* IronWoobie: The guy's lost his entire family in one day, had to raise himself from ten years old because his carer was so BrilliantButLazy, faced crisis after crisis in leadership, was forced to kill at least one of the [[PoweredByAForsakenChild fallen humans]] simply to survive, and barely rescued his species from extinction twice at the hands of the same nation ''twice.'' [[FromBadToWorse If that wasn't bad enough,]] he's been forced to mobilise for yet another war that threatens to do the same. The fact he's remained intact through all of this more than earns the [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating awe and adoration of his people]] - [[LonelyAtTheTop which in fact is part of the problem.]]

The once-kingdom of monsters located underneath Mount Ebott, after integrating the remnants of [[Videogame/HalfLife Black Mesa]] into itself became a technological giant and fearing American reprisal for poaching one of their best contractors a massive fortress as well. Following a short but brutal war between the two nations, Ebott finally fully broke away from under the thumb of [[[SoiledCityOnAHill Capitol Hill]] and has been preparing for America's revenge ever since, their leader [[JustTheFirstCitizen Director]] [[FisherKing Asriel]] convinced they'll attack [[WhyIsntItAttacking aaaany day now...]]

* AHeroToHisHometown: DownplayedTrope. While his DownToEarth attitudes towards meme culture and steadfast adherence to statesmanship rather than decay into a CorruptPolitician endear him effectively totally to Ebottonia, his incessant derision of the USA and unfiltered callouts of practically every major power's atrocities through history have divided global opinion between those infuriated by his insensitivity and those who [[CulturalCringe agree with what he has to say]].

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Administrator [[Videogame/HalfLife Wallace Breen]] is less than fond of the monstrous giant, both from his sheer brutality at times and the [[BeleagueredBureaucrat amount of paperwork]] [[KickedUpstairs keeping him out of politics]]. Toriel Dreemurr still [[ThickerThanWater ''loves'' her son despite everything]], but remains one of his most vocal critics despite - [[ApeShallNotKillApe or perhaps because of]] - this.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As is custom with all boss monsters, Asriel is much stronger than anyone else in Ebottonia
* AChildShallLeadThem: With his father Asgore lynched by the mob that in the original game [[ItWasHisSled killed Asriel instead]] and his mother either [[DirtyCoward abandoning the kingdom in it's hour of need]] or fleeing persecution from her own son [[RashomonStyle depending on who you ask]], little Asriel was crowned [[EthnicityMonarch King of the Monsters]] at just ten years old. He's been in charge ever since.

* JustTheFirstCitizen: Asriel styles himself 'director' since he's the one telling everyone else what to do.



* OlderThanTheyLook: The monster's well into his seventies, but he hasn't aged a day over 25.



* EyepatchOfPower: Over her left eye, as is canon.
* FieryRedhead: In her youth certainly, and while she's no less passionate now she's had a lot of time to mature since then.



* NervousWreck: Pretty much everything terrifies the [[TheWoobie poor girl]], given that where she's from she's considered [[SlaveRace property]] used to adorn one's home. She can barely speak when shown to the UN as proof of the invasion, and when Asriel tells her she needs to [[TrainingThePeacefulVillagers learn to fight]] she starts glitching out.

He's been in charge ever since.
* ErmineCapeEffect: Defied, as Asriel personally hates the pomp and circumstance that follows all things royal, to the point that he abolished his own monarchy to avoid it. That doesn't stop him bringing up his RoyalBlood among other aristocratic leaders.
* LargeAndInCharge: Asriel is well over ten feet tall, and not only rules Ebottonia, but also leads the Initiative.
* WalkingSpoiler: If you haven't played VideoGame/UnderTale, don't look at this entry, though it's [[ItWasHisSled probably not worth avoiding him anymore]].

[[folder: Marshal Undyne]]
* FourStarBadass: Undyne, despite being middle-aged now compared to the [[VideoGame/UnderTale source material]], is still just as capable of kicking anyone to the curb as before.

[[folder: Red]]
An abnormally-red pearl kidnapped from a life of servitude by Russian special forces, she was immediately taken under the wing of the stern but caring Director Asriel.
* {{Moe}}: Well, Asriel seeems to think so, given how [[GentleGiant gentle]] he tries to be with her.
* NervousWreck: Pretty much everything terrifies the [[TheWoobie poor girl]], given that where she's from she's considered [[SlaveRace property]] used to adorn one's home.
