Susie Ralsei and Kris

Heal Prayer (JP: いやしの詩) is a spell in Deltarune, usable by Ralsei and Noelle. It costs 32% TP to use. The spell heals one party member by a significant amount. When using this spell, green sparkles emerge on whoever is being healed.

Main story Chapter 1 Heal Prayer becomes available as soon as Ralsei joins the party in Chapter 1.

During the battle against King, Ralsei unlocks a powered-up version of Heal Prayer, known as DualHeal, after using his respective Talk ACT. After the battle, Ralsei uses Heal Prayer on King, which he takes advantage of to quickly subdue the party.

Chapter 2 In Chapter 2, Ralsei uses Heal Prayer on Susie when she gets hurt in Cyber City's Trash Zone, and Ralsei offers to teach her how to use healing magic.

Heal Prayer can also be used by Noelle and becomes available when she joins Kris as a party member.

During the battle against Queen, DualHeal is available by default.

Chapter 4 In Chapter 4, Ralsei uses Heal Prayer on Kris after they collapse in the Dark Sanctuary, dismissing Susie's offer to heal them. He then repeatedly attempts to heal Jackenstein after his battle, which all fail.

DualHeal becomes available during the battles against the Titan Spawn and the Titan. However, DualHeal's description when Ralsei and Susie cast it together lists Susie twice due to the character names array being structured to avoid zero-based numbering,[1] which was overlooked.[2]

Optional Ralsei Moments

· Ralsei blushes if Kris stands near him outside of specific rooms. · In Castle Town, Kris can hug the Dummy. Ralsei then hints that Kris could "use the real thing" instead. · At a carnival, Queen gives Kris a gift from Noelle. If Kris gives it to Ralsei, he blushes heavily, says he's never gotten a gift before, and a Ralsei plush appears in his room in Chapter 4. · In Queen's Mansion, Berdly calls Ralsei Kris's "lackey."

If Kris agrees, he blushes heavily. · If Kris says, "It's nice that Ralsei is Ralsei," he blushes and says it means a lot coming from Kris. · Before the boat ride ends, Kris can choose to "Hug Ralsei." He acts surprised and blushes as the camera snaps. · If Spamton NEO is defeated with MERCY, Susie notes Kris has goosebumps. Ralsei looks extremely worried and tries to calm them down.

Kris never talks. He has no emotion on his face. Almost his entire face is covered with bangs (up to his eyes)

History

Spamton was an unsuccessful spam email Addison. After a mysterious person helped him via phone, he became wildly successful, befriending TV host Tenna and Mike. He earned a room in Queen's Mansion.

Then the stranger left him a distressing call. Spamton backed out of a life-changing deal with Tenna, lost everything, and began praying in the basement. There he found a crystal in an old machine—a digital visualization of a Lightner's hopes and dreams. Evicted and abandoned, he ended up in a dumpster. The "garbage noise" from his phone matches ENTRY NUMBER SEVENTEEN (W. D. Gaster).

Chapter 2 (Normal Route)

Kris finds Spamton in a dumpster. After a fight, Spamton tasks Kris with retrieving an Empty Disk from Queen's Mansion basement. Kris buys a KeyGen, gets the disk, and returns it to the machine. Spamton transforms into Spamton NEO—but is horrified to find himself held up by puppet strings. He attacks Kris for their SOUL. Susie and Ralsei intervene.

Defeat methods:

· Fight: He attempts "Spamton EX" but explodes. · Cut wires: He thanks Kris, asks for the last wire cut, then falls.

After defeat, he becomes lucid, compliments the party, and transforms into Dealmaker (cut wires) or Puppet Scarf (fight). Kris also gets a Shadow Crystal.

Chapter 2 (Weird Route)

Noelle freezes all enemies. Spamton sells Kris the Thorn Ring for 1997 Kromer. He takes over Queen's Mansion, fills it with Pipis, and fights as the final boss. Kris calls Noelle, who freezes Spamton. Rewards: Puppet Scarf + Shadow Crystal.

Chapter 3

In Tenna's bonus zone, a safe contains a Pipis. The Dealmaker/Puppet Scarf turns into Spamton, but Tenna doesn't recognize him, sprays him with foam, and takes the Pipis. Spamton says he'll never reach out again. If Dealmaker is equipped before the Shadow Mantle, Spamton reads Tenna's check description, referencing his former friend's doom.

Spamton G. Spamton – major antagonist of Chapter 2 (main antagonist in the Weird Route). A homeless, unhinged Darkner salesman from Cyber World. He tries to take Kris's SOUL to become a "big shot."

If Kris helps him enter Queen's Mansion basement, he transforms into Spamton NEO – the bonus boss (Normal Route) or final boss (Weird Route). He holds a Shadow Crystal. Former business partner and archenemy of Tenna.

Shop: After his battle, he sells items in the Trash Zone. Prices fluctuate rapidly. Cannot sell to him.

Wares: KeyGen, S.POISON (labeled "S. POTION"), Broken Sword ("THE BIG ONE"), Frayed Bowtie ("BSHOT BOWTIE").

Appearance: Small puppet-like ex-Addison with yellow/pink glasses, black V-neck, slicked black hair. Resembles Swatch. As NEO: disheveled Mettaton-like machine body, laser cannon, green strings, bat wings.

Personality: Once a natural salesman, now desperate and mentally unwell. Speaks in spam-like text with [bracketed] gibberish. Projects himself onto Kris, contradicts himself. Briefly clears up after NEO fight. Consistently misspells words like "genorisity," "guaranttee," "delicis," "specil."

5. Unseen Power and Restrained Potential Chapter 4 reveals that Ralsei possesses fire magic, a stark contrast to his usual healing and pacifying spells. However, he deliberately refuses to use it, indicating that he consciously suppresses his own destructive capabilities to fit the role of the "gentle healer" from the prophecy. Additionally, he demonstrates the ability to fly during a critical moment, showcasing that his physical and magical abilities far exceed what he casually displays. This restraint is not born of weakness but of a desperate need to maintain control over his identity.

6. Strange Abilities and Metatextual Awareness Ralsei is anomalous even among Darkners. He does not turn to stone in other Dark Worlds, unlike every other Darkner. He also appears in places he logically shouldn't, such as the library at the end of Chapter 2. Most unsettling is his ability to shift the camera perspective from Kris to Susie—and when the player refuses, he directly addresses Kris, implying a shared secret knowledge that excludes the player entirely. His name being an anagram of "Asriel," his physical resemblance to the Dreemurr family, and Noelle's comment that he seems "familiar" all suggest a deep, cryptic connection to Kris's past and the broader world.

7. The Core Contradiction: Kindness as Defense Ultimately, Ralsei's "darkness" is not born of malice but of profound trauma and desperation. His kindness is not a weakness; it is a rigid, frantic shield. He is terrified of being useless, discarded, or proven wrong. To protect his idealized vision of the world and his own fragile sense of purpose, he is willing to manipulate, deceive, and even emotionally crush others (like Tenna). His entire persona is a coping mechanism—an attempt to impose order on a chaotic and cruel reality, even if that means sacrificing his own authenticity and the well-being of those around him.

3. Chapter 4: "Broken" Sincerity and Manipulation In Chapter 4, Ralsei experiences what appears to be a major emotional breakdown, apologizing profusely for hiding the truth about the prophecy. However, a closer examination reveals this may be a calculated act of manipulation. He frames his omissions as accidental or insignificant, yet evidence suggests he knew far more than he let on. He has been having secret conversations with Kris since Chapter 1, hidden from the player's view. His tearful confession, therefore, is not true repentance but a repackaging of his lies—presenting his deception as vulnerability to regain trust and sympathy.
4. The Bloody "Seal" and Symbolic Mark During a heated moment in Chapter 4, Susie, frustrated and bleeding from breaking a window, touches Ralsei's face in a gesture of forgiveness. This action leaves a distinct bloody handprint on his cheek. Beyond its surface-level tenderness, players interpret this as a dark foreshadowing—a "mark" or "seal" from Susie that may symbolize his impending sacrifice or a grim role he has yet to play in the coming catastrophe.

On the surface, Ralsei—the fluffy, glasses-wearing prince of the Dark World—presents himself as the quintessential kindhearted guide. He is gentle, optimistic, and constantly encourages pacifism and teamwork. However, beneath this carefully constructed mask lies a deeply complex, troubled, and often disturbing character. Throughout Deltarune, particularly in Chapter 4, multiple moments peel back his cheerful facade to reveal a serious, controlling, and even nihilistic personality.

1. The Facade of Toxic Positivity and Control From the very beginning, Ralsei exhibits an obsessive need to control the narrative and the group's dynamics. He is fixated on the idea that everything must follow a "correct" script, which he believes will lead to a perfect ending. This manifests as him withholding crucial information from Kris and Susie "for their own good," a decision that visibly frustrates Susie and raises questions about his honesty. His constant insistence on "being nice to each other" in Chapter 1 feels less like genuine compassion and more like an attempt to force predetermined roles onto his companions, stifling their natural growth and agency.

2. Fatalism and the Devaluation of Darkners (The Chapter 4 Turning Point) The most shocking revelation occurs during Ralsei's dialogue with Tenna in Chapter 4. In a chillingly sincere speech, Ralsei argues that the feelings and desires of Darkners are ultimately meaningless. He asserts that their sole purpose is to serve Lightners until they are inevitably discarded as "no longer needed." This cruel rhetoric, delivered with calm conviction, forces Tenna—who already fears this very fate—to reluctantly agree, shrinking under the weight of Ralsei's words. This moment is a window into Ralsei's own internalized nihilism: he is not merely describing the world's cruel logic but projecting his own deepest fears of abandonment and irrelevance onto another being.

Chapter 4

Toriel wakes Kris and Susie for breakfast. They attend church, then go to Noelle's house to search for the Shelter code. Inside Dess's guitar, Kris finds the code, rips out the SOUL, and hides it in a closet. The SOUL escapes through the vents while Kris drinks chocolate milk, receiving a call from a mysterious voice warning that Susie must not find the guitar and mentioning a "sacrifice." Kris hides under Dess's bed, then in a closet, hitting the SOUL with a hockey stick to stop it. Susie finds the guitar and takes it downstairs. Kris tells the voice, who replies, "I'll be right there."

In Father Alvin's office, Susie finds a dusty hammer—Gerson Boom's remains. Kris backs away nervously.

Kris walks in on Sans dancing with Toriel, gets mad, and rushes to bed. Seeing Susie outside in the rain, they receive another call reminding them of their "promise."

Weird Route continuation: Kris secretly visited Noelle, apologized, took the Thorn Ring, and claimed Berdly would be fine. But the Player regains control, forces the ring back on Noelle, and speaks through Kris. Kris then throws the SOUL into a trash can and furiously kicks it before eventually reinserting it.

In the Dark Sanctuary, Gerson offers Kris an apple; eating it includes the core. If the player thinks of Noelle during Ralsei's eye-closing moment, Kris has a panic attack. If the player prays for Noelle, Kris kicks the candle booth. If the player tries to hurt Susie's feelings, Kris bites their own hand. At night, Carol Holiday calls Kris, saying Noelle is "looking forward to seeing them" at the festival.

In Chapter 3, Kris, Susie, and Ralsei enter the TV World, where Tenna—the Darkner form of Kris's old CRT TV—hosts a game show. Tenna speaks directly to Kris, evoking nostalgic memories of watching TV and playing games with Asriel.If the player earns S-Rank, they unlock the "Sword Route." Ramb reveals Tenna modified the original game and gives Kris an odd controller. The player controls HERO_SWORD, killing monster NPCs, obtaining the Ice Key, and briefly encountering Eram.During the show, Tenna acts suspiciously, pushing a bonus game. In the second Sword Route segment, HERO_SWORD meets a Noelle sprite referencing the Prophecy and Weird Route. Kris obtains the Shelter Key, grows visibly nervous, and looks over their shoulder.Backstage, the party finds a sleeping Toriel, whom Tenna hides on the Roaring Knight's orders. Forced to continue, they escape the studio, recruiting or fighting Darkners. In the third Sword Route minigame, the player kills Susie and Ralsei sprites; Kris flinches and looks away. Later, Kris actively resists the player's controls, preventing approach to a shelter recreation. After defeating Eram, Kris collects the Shadow Mantle. If the player tries to stab Kris or Susie with HERO_SWORD, Kris backs away in terror or pulls Susie to safety.The party defeats Tenna, who admits he just wanted to avoid being thrown out. He frees Toriel but is cut down by the Knight. After a fight, Kris is "knighted" and collects a Shadow Crystal and Black Shard. Undyne interrupts, gets captured, and is taken to Hometown's underground shelter. Susie leaves, but Kris stays—and watches the shelter door creak open

Chapter 2 begins with Toriel finding a knife in the pie, blaming Kris. At school, Kris and Susie re-enter the Dark World, meet Ralsei, then leave to do homework. In the library, they find another Dark World with Noelle and Berdly. Queen, the antagonist, captures Noelle; Berdly joins her. Kris rescues Noelle, who becomes braver. After battles, including with Spamton, the party reaches Queen. The final fight uses mechas and Punch-Out!! style combat. Kris seals the Dark Fountain, and everyone returns to the Light World.

Weird Route: Kris forces Noelle to kill enemies, steal a Freeze Ring, and eventually use SnowGrave on Berdly, freezing him into a coma. Noelle leaves distressed. Spamton NEO attacks Kris; Noelle casts Iceshock to save them. Kris seals the Fountain alone. Back home, Noelle fears Kris. That night, Kris rips out their SOUL, escapes through the window, and slashes Toriel’s tires.

At the end of Chapter 2, after Susie and Toriel sleep, Kris uses their knife to open a Dark Fountain, creating a Darkener named Tenna, who agrees to keep Susie and Ralsei occupied in exchange for not being turned off.

Chapter 1. Kris is woken by Toriel for school. She drives them to Hometown. Late for class, Alphys tells Kris to pick a partner. Noelle hesitates, but Susie bursts in and is paired with Kris. Alphys sends them to get chalk from a supply closet.In the hallway, Susie eats chalk, then slams Kris against a locker and threatens them. Inside the closet, Kris and Susie fall into a Dark World. Kris wakes in armor with blue skin. They find Susie hiding in dust. Lancer attacks them, then they meet Ralsei in Castle Town. Susie leaves, then rejoins, but later teams up with Lancer against Kris and Ralsei. After the fight, Susie returns and Lancer joins them.Lancer flees to Card Castle. The party is captured. Kris and Ralsei are in one cell, Susie in another. Kris helps Susie escape, and she frees them. They fight the King. The King tricks them, but is defeated either by Lancer and his subjects (if few enemies were hurt) or by Ralsei’s Pacify. Kris seals the Dark Fountain and returns home with Susie. That night, Kris rises from bed, tears out their SOUL, and throws it into a cage—showing the player controls the SOUL, not Kris. Kris brandishes a knife, smiles menacingly with a red eye, and the screen cuts to black.

Relationships Asgore (adoptive father) Toriel (adoptive mother) Asriel (adoptive brother) Noelle (neighbor/friend/classmate/former Personality During the events of Deltarune, Kris is mentioned to be an introvert.[2] Susie and King refer to Kris as a "quiet person," and Noelle is astonished if they converse about "anything."[3] After Kris's brother, Asriel, left for college, they became distant from their few friends. Kris's side of their shared bedroom is also strikingly bare. The shared game console is underneath Asriel's bed, and their old children's books are in Toriel 's classroom instead. Toriel has also mentioned that Kris is not normally energetic.[4] They have a history of not waking up on time, and often slept through the start of class.[5] Kris also preferred their mother driving them to and from school than walking.[6]At the end of Chapter 1, Red Big Mouth and Toriel both comment on Kris's physical appearance. They cite that Kris seems "a little sick" and does "not look quite yourself" respectively. It is implied that the SOUL is the reason, though the exact cause is unknown. Notably, Kris wants to be perceived as "normal" despite Toriel's concern.[11] Kris performs actions without player input, like protecting Susie from the King or awkwardly escaping the Sweet Cap’n Cakes fight, showing genuine friendship with Susie and Ralsei. In Chapter 2, Kris stops inspecting certain things: closing their eyes before peeking into Asriel’s room, and stopping an article about Asgore’s firing before the reason is given. The player-Kris separation is clearest in the Weird Route: Noelle finds the commanding voice terrifying, and Kris seems distraught upon reuniting with the party. In the normal route, after defeating Spamton NEO, Susie notices Kris in shock. If the player says “Yes” (they’re okay), Kris seems strained; if “No,” Kris yells, worrying Susie and Ralsei. This implies Spamton’s talk of puppetry and cutting strings deeply unsettled Kris.

Susie is a Lightner from Hometown and one of the two deuteragonists of Deltarune. She is the monster Hero of Light of the Legend of Deltarune.She wields an axe while in a Dark World. With her high HP and Attack, she plays the role of the party's tank and bruiser during encounters. As of late, she’s become the party’s second healer.Susie is a reptilian monster with purple skin, black claws, and dark purple hair. In the Dark World, her colors shift to lavender and plum. She wields an axe, serving as the party’s tank and bruiser, and later becomes the second healer.

Her appearance includes black eyes with yellow sclera, scales, and freckles on her cheeks. Whether she has a tail is ambiguous—implied in Chapter 2’s Dark World and Chapter 4’s real world, but her reaction to the Jevilstail (“Figured I’d grow one someday”) suggests sarcasm.

Susie wears tomboyish clothes: a purple jacket, white T-shirt, torn jeans, and black shoes. In the Dark World, she wears a black vest, sleeveless purple shirt, plum pants, black boots, spiked bracelets, and a belt with a golden heart buckle.

Personality-wise, Susie is sarcastic, blunt, and vulgar. She makes brutally honest comments, swears, and threatens violence. In Chapter 1, she bullies Kris and Ralsei but befriends Lancer. After losing a fight to Ralsei and Kris, she rejoins them. During the King fight, she initially talks but fights to defend Lancer. By Chapter 2, she becomes kinder, protective, and teasing, though still blunt.

She can be cocky, expressive with friends, and observant of emotions. Susie is loyal and protective—once scaring Monster Kid for being rude to Kris. She enjoys weird foods: pinecones, salsa, burnt toast crust, and chalk. Easily flattered, she becomes possessive of gifts. Her Dark World fridge contains non-food items she likes.

Susie has self-esteem issues, believing no one liked her before finding real friends. She struggles academically and sometimes projects onto others. She falls asleep easily.

Ralsei is a gentle, selfless Darkner prince and one of the main characters of Deltarune. He rules Castle Town and guides Kris and Susie on their destiny.

In combat, he uses magic to heal with Heal Prayer or cast Pacify to spare enemies. He has the highest Magic stat but the lowest HP and Attack.

Appearance: Ralsei wears a pointed green hat that hides his horns and a long green robe. Under the hat, he has white fur, floppy ears, and pink horns, resembling the Dreemurr family. He also wears round green glasses and a pink scarf. From Chapter 2 onward, his robe gains long black sleeves. When downed in battle, he disappears, leaving only his clothes.

Personality: Ralsei is kind, considerate, and favors pacifism, leaving final decisions to Kris. He is humble, affectionate (loves hugs), and easily flustered by compliments. He rarely gets angry, is somewhat naive, and forgives easily—but learns to be more cautious after being betrayed by King.

He cares deeply for his friends, willing to protect them with his life. He sometimes feels his own desires are “selfish,” believing his purpose is to make Kris and Susie happy. This guilt leads him to leave his room unfurnished. Despite this, he often expresses personal wishes—like ordering Susie not to mock him or subtly showing annoyance if Kris throws away his Manual.

Interests: He claims to have no hobbies but enjoys baking cakes, sewing, music, writing manuals, dressing up, and playing video games with Susie.

Knowledge: Ralsei knows Dark World mechanics (SOUL, saves, recruiting) and can sense evil from Dark Fountains. He knows the full prophecy but hides its tragic ending, hoping kindness can change it. He becomes stressed when the prophecy remains unchanged but finds renewed hope through Susie.

Speech: He refuses to curse, uses British terms like “lift,” and often says “Okay” in absurd situations.

Kris Dreemurr is a human Lightner and the main protagonist of Deltarune. They are presumably the human Hero of Light in the Prophecy. In a Dark World, they function as the party's leader. Kris is controlled by the player for the majority of the game. The few exceptions are brief cutscenes or when they tear the SOUL out of their body. Kris excels at ACTing in battles, and wields a sword. Appearance Kris is a human teenager with an amber skin tone and shoulder-length dark maroon hair with long bangs. They wear a long-sleeve lime shirt with one horizontal yellow stripe, and nondescript pants and shoes. One of Kris's distinct traits is that their long bangs cast a shadow that hides their eyes. In the brief moments they tear the SOUL out of their body, their red eyes can glow in the dark. One of their crimson eyes is also visible for a few frames when they descend into a Dark World. In a Dark World, Kris's entire appearance transforms, making them resemble a knight. Kris dons silver armor: shoulder pauldrons, a cuirass, gauntlets, and boots. They wear a navy blue bodysuit underneath the set, and a pink cape drapes across their right shoulder. Finally, Kris's skin changes to cyan, and their hair transits to navy. The shading for their skin is also used for their cape, giving the illusion of blue stripes in a few of their sprites. To the player, Kris consistently has a blank, neutral expression. They seemingly stand straight during the majority of non-scripted actions.[1] Kris's expressions and movement are different when they are about to remove or have removed the SOUL. Personality During the events of Deltarune, Kris is mentioned to be an introvert.[2] Susie and King refer to Kris as a "quiet person," and Noelle is astonished if they converse about "anything."[3] After Kris's brother, Asriel, left for college, they became distant from their few friends. Kris's side of their shared bedroom is also strikingly bare.
