Applications are closed permanently. Thank you to everyone who has applied over the years! Before applying for a character, make sure you've read the rules and FAQ. You should also refer to the application guide to see what we're looking for in our applications. You may apply for one character per application cycle and three characters total. Please put your character's name and canon in the subject line of your application comment. Applications must be posted directly to this post and cannot be links. We will screen your application if you request it of us after we review it. Application challenges are allowed, but someone who did not place a reserve challenge cannot challenge a reserved application. Once reservations expire, an application challenge can only be placed before we process the character application of the applicant you would like to challenge. In the event of us nearing our application cap and having more applications than slots, we will attempt to choose the most well-written applications. First-time applicants will be processed first, then applications for second characters, and finally applications for third characters. We may allow more applications to be submitted than we have slots for in the name of greater selection. We will clarify in our response if an application is not being allowed into the game because of the cap or because of issues with the application not meeting the standards of the game.

Toriel - Undertale 2/2
She is empathetic and genuinely wants the best for people, she will consider others feelings before her own a good amount of the time. Even then, she knows peaceful solutions won't always happen. She has grown past the age of believing things can always be solved peacefully. Whilst diplomacy is always her first move, she won't hesitate to protect herself when threatened. Self preservation is not something she will throw aside without some serious consideration.
When given the chance Toriel is the sort of boss monster who honestly wants to solve things diplomatically. Toriel was the backbone of the monster kingdom for a reason, whilst Asgore hesitated, Toriel would step forward and make a decision. She would rather do something than sit on her hands more times than not. In one of many neutral endings Toriel will step up to take up rule to try and keep peace with varying results depending on who the player has killed/has not killed. If a rebellion takes place in a neutral ending, Toriel peacefully steps down and heads back to the ruins. If unopposed she will step in and take control, implementing kindness towards any humans and being more active when it comes to ruling the kingdom.
Toriel isn’t all business of course, she has a sense of humor. She relishes in terrible jokes. Toriel is genuinely a dork when it comes to puns. Given a chance she’ll excitedly lob a joke or two herself. She finds joy in something silly and so simple. She befriended Sans in game purely on terrible knock knock jokes. The two readily tease each other and send Frisk ridiculous texts in the Pacifist ending. Toriel will send Frisk texts ranging from genuinely checking in on them, to terrible jokes about forming a band with Sans.
Even with all the good, Toriel buries a lot of undealt with anger and sorrow. The death of her children along with her disgust at Asgore has left a hole behind that she cannot mend properly. Toriel deals with all of this by isolating herself, in turn pushing away from Asgore and monster society as a whole. Her frustrations at them for whole heartedly accepting the new war left her feeling embittered. She would rather be alone than go along with more bloodshed. She lets her anger guide her decisions when it comes to her ex.
Toriel is the kind to hold anger close to her chest and not let go of it very willingly. In the pacifist end game, any dialogue that involves Toriel remotely talking to or about Asgore tends to be her stonewalling his presence/outright insulting him. Forgiveness is not something that is easily earned in some cases when it comes to Toriel. Violating a principle she holds dear will set her on holding a pretty solid grudge.
Toriel naturally is incredibly emotionally compromised thanks to her children's deaths. Toriel knows what humankind is capable of, even then she still tries to save human children from dying. All of this has led her to acting with grief as her driving factor, building her new life around the goal of saving even one child. Each failure only makes things incredibly worse for her, amplifying the issue each time. It makes her more stubborn and more upset, but she keeps pushing herself to try and make the situation work somehow. This is very clearly shown by the fact her first reaction to Frisk asking to go home is to rush off to try and destroy the only exit to the ruins to prevent Frisk from leaving. Even if saving a child means acting irrationally or refusing to let them leave the ruins without some kind of fight. She demands Frisk prove themselves to her when they follow after her.
She knows deep down she isn't being fair, but the urge to protect them overrules her rational thinking completely. When in the thick of her emotions, she can lose herself and rationalizes poor choices in order to make herself feel less guilt. In the end she knows it's wrong and will admit it to herself given time. For all the anger and sadness, Toriel cannot lie to herself which only makes the weight she's feeling worse. This shows very clearly in the Pacifist playthrough when Frisk has to fight Toriel. She laments during battle, 'Pathetic, is it not? I cannot save even a single child.' Reluctantly ending the fight and letting Frisk go out into the underground. Even in the No Mercy run, Toriel still offers guidance to avoid Asgore as she is dying. Offering a final 'Be good, won't you?' before turning to dust.
By the end of the Pacifist playthrough, Toriel has been given freedom she never expected and a new life. New friends and a child to care for. It's put her in a somewhat better state of mind and back in contact with the world as a whole.
Flavor Abilities: She’s a giant goat. Toriel is covered in heavy white fur, small budding horns atop her head. Its implied heavily in game she's incredibly old/has been alive since monster kind has been sealed into the mountain for centuries.
Toriel is also adept at fire magic (which won't work here).
Suitability: It is heavily implied Toriel survived through the human monster war before in game events and the trek to build a functioning civilization underground. Alongside that she also has dealt with large amount of isolation whilst living in the ruins. She's a hardy kind of person who makes the best out of a bad situation.
Emotionally she’s incredibly stable when it comes to survival. Even if she'll likely be annoyed/upset at being displaced, she'll manage. She's only emotionally fragile when it comes to children somehow being in danger. Even with the Pacifist ending in affect, she'll react incredibly badly to the death of a child. It won't destroy her but it will anger her.
Toriel would be definitely interested in other monsters and want to find some answers regarding anomalies. Alongside that she would want to find out just why and how everyone ended up here.

I suppose this is an odd request to make, but what would you say your favorite pie flavor is? I'm curious. I also would not mind exchanging recipes if anyone wishes to. If we save up enough supplies I'm sure we could make a pie or two.
I am partial to snail pie myself. With this weather, it is very unlikely I will find any snails to make pie. Very sad but true. Snails are not ones for weather this extreme. Lets hope it clears up soon! A meal from home would be very comforting indeed.
Sincerely, Toriel.
ACCEPTED, NOTE
A two-story A-frame house. The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The second floor has a master bedroom, master bathroom, and balcony. The living room is wallpapered, but the wallpaper in the corners of the room appear to have been torn up. Closer inspection reveals that it seems like someone clawed the wallpaper up with their fingernails. There are also scuff marks and abrasions in it where it seems the walls were struck with something. Some of the wallpaper has been torn down completely, and near these points, an electric humming can be heard. The atmosphere here is oppressive.
