Tenna

Character Tenna is a cheerful and energetic host who entertains his audience while flattering and challenging his contestants. However, behind his cheerful demeanor lies self-doubt and egotism, as well as a tendency to panic when things don't go as planned. He fondly recalls how, as a real-life television set, he once gathered Chris, their family, and friends to play and watch a show. Feeling abandoned, Tenna struggles with feelings of worthlessness and loneliness. He fears that no one is interested in him anymore and that he will be rejected. Despite his outward cheerfulness, numerous dialogues with Chris and Susie reveal his insecurities as a performer. His sprite laments whether the Lightners like his games and asks Chris for advice, then panics upon hearing footsteps. Consequently, Tenna seems a little afraid of Chris. When his sprite encounters Chris in the third stage of "The Way of the Sword," he attempts to remind Chris that he followed their orders as he was told, and fearfully asks if they are going to disable him again.[1] If Chris is wearing the Shadow Cloak after this encounter, Tenna's normal dialogue with the boss changes slightly, and he nearly reveals that this Dark World was Chris's creation.

Throughout Chapter 3, Tenna asks Chris numerous questions, the answers to which relate to Chris's family background, suggesting she harbors warm feelings for him. However, several times, Tenna reminds Chris of his parents' divorce and alludes to it, perhaps in an attempt to mend their relationship. This is confirmed during his breakdown in Doom Board, when, after a failed cooking minigame, Tenna's demeanor changes to a strangely apologetic one. This seems to trigger a traumatic memory of Toriel and Asror, who had a heated argument in front of him. [2]

Despite his outward calm, Tenna can be vindictive. After a falling out with his former business partner, Spamton (which he himself caused),

Tenna appears as a 3D render of a humanoid figure with an old television for a head. He has no facial features except a wide, frequently smiling mouth and a long, pointed nose. His attire consists of a bright red suit with two tails, a long yellow tie, black pants, and large cartoonish white gloves. He is 215 cm tall, but can change his size. His television is light purple. Its screen is always white, but he can also turn it off when he's sad.
