Kris's relationship with the Soul is one of the central themes of DELTARUNE. The Soul, controlled by the player, is not Kris themselves, but a separate entity dwelling within them. It is through the Soul that the player controls Kris's body, makes decisions, and influences the course of events. Yet Kris does not lose their own personality and consistently demonstrates an awareness of this foreign will's presence.

That said, Kris does not appear to be someone who hates the Soul. Rather, they feel discomfort from the constant loss of freedom. Throughout the game, they repeatedly resist control: altering the meaning of certain dialogue lines, concealing their true emotions, independently performing actions without the player's input, and — at the end of certain chapters — literally ripping the Soul from their own body to briefly reclaim control. However, they cannot survive without it for long. Without the Soul, their body quickly weakens, their movements become sluggish, and they begin to look genuinely ill. In the end, Kris invariably returns the Soul, as it is necessary for their normal functioning.

Later chapters show that the relationship between them gradually grows more complex. Kris increasingly acts on their own even with the Soul present, and certain characters — as well as the secret boss Pink — indirectly highlight that the body's owner and the entity controlling it must learn to coexist rather than attempt to fully subjugate one another. The game does not confirm that Kris hates the Soul; rather, they seek to reclaim the right to make their own choices in life while preserving the bond with it that they still need.

Unlike Kris, the Soul does not possess a confirmed personality of its own. Within the story, it serves as the embodiment of the player — an external entity that controls Kris's body, makes decisions, selects dialogue options, determines battle outcomes, and influences the course of events. For this reason, its character cannot be considered fixed: it depends entirely on the actions of whoever is playing.

Nevertheless, certain traits remain constant regardless of the chosen playstyle. The Soul is incredibly persistent and consistently strives to move forward, explore the world, and interact with those around it. It is curious, constantly investigating new locations, objects, and characters, and possesses the ability to persuade opponents to abandon fighting through the use of ACT. At the same time, the Soul can display entirely opposite qualities: the player is free to make it kind, compassionate, and peace-loving, or cruel, indifferent, and prone to violence. This freedom of choice is its defining feature.

The Soul's relationship with Kris also depends on the player's decisions. It can care for him by helping his friends and choosing peaceful resolutions, yet it can also completely ignore the body's owner's wishes, forcing him to perform actions against his will. Despite its immense power over Kris, the Soul is not all-powerful: he is capable of resisting its control, altering the intonation of certain dialogue lines, independently performing some actions, and even temporarily extracting the Soul from his body to reclaim his freedom. This makes their relationship more of a forced coexistence than an alliance or open hostility.

In essence, the Soul is a mirror of the player themselves. It does not impose its own morality or goals, but merely provides the opportunity to influence the story of DELTARUNE — while the ultimate responsibility for its actions rests with the person controlling it.

Kris is a quiet, withdrawn, and taciturn young person who prefers to express their thoughts through actions rather than words. Despite their outward indifference, they possess a pronounced sense of humor and have loved pranks since childhood — often startling Noelle or carrying out harmless mischief. They enjoy video games, occultism, and magic, and play the piano well, though their playing becomes noticeably worse when under the player's control. After Asriel's departure, Kris grew significantly lonelier and distanced themselves from most of their friends. They dislike drawing attention to themselves and try to appear "ordinary," even when those around them notice something is off. Although the player makes most decisions on their behalf, Kris repeatedly shows their own initiative: protecting Susie, comforting Ralsei, altering the tone of selected dialogue options, or outright refusing to perform certain actions. This demonstrates that they possess a distinct personality, moral principles, and emotions that exist independently of the player's control.

Kris is a human teenager with amber-toned skin and shoulder-length, dark brown hair. Their long, slightly disheveled bangs almost always cover their eyes, making their expression difficult to read. They typically wear a light green sweater with a single horizontal yellow stripe and a brown collar, simple dark trousers, and basic shoes. In everyday life, Kris often slouches, moves unhurriedly, and appears tired or pensive. Their face almost always holds a calm, neutral expression, forcing those around them to judge their emotions by gestures and intonation. In moments when they extract the Soul from their body, their posture becomes even more hunched, their hair fully obscures their face, and one eye begins to glow red. Without the Soul, they can move on their own, but noticeably slower, tire quickly, and begin to physically weaken with prolonged absence — their skin taking on a sickly greenish tint. In the Dark World, Kris's appearance changes: their skin turns blue, their hair becomes dark blue, and their ordinary clothes transform into silver knight's armor with a dark blue suit and a pink cape draped over one shoulder.

Orange. The closest person to Pink and her adoptive younger sister. Though unrelated by blood, Orange sincerely calls her "Big Sis," while Pink affectionately refers to her as "Ory." Despite her hot-tempered nature, Pink becomes noticeably softer around Orange: she looks after her, gives advice, protects her, and tries to hide her own worries. Orange is the only one with whom Pink can briefly forget her inner conflict. After her defeat, they spend the Dark World's final hours together, gazing out the shop window. To Pink, Orange becomes the true family she fears losing most.

Kris. At first, Pink sees Kris solely as an enemy invading her sanctuary. But during battle, she gradually develops feelings — not only from Kris's constant flirting, but because she intuitively senses someone who also carries a heavy inner contradiction. She doesn't know the true nature of Kris's dual existence with the Soul, yet she feels that same strange dividedness she herself experiences. After the fight, her hostility vanishes completely, replaced by a sincere crush. Even during their later meeting, she remains noticeably shy around Kris and tries to hide her feelings behind her usual bravado.

Susie. During their first encounter, Pink treats Susie as an enemy and fights her without hesitation. After her defeat, her attitude shifts: she acknowledges Susie's strength and directness, though she remains slightly wary of her rough personality. Susie, meanwhile, quickly begins treating Pink as just another of Kris's strange acquaintances and after the battle invites her to live in Castle Town.

Ralsei. Pink views Ralsei with suspicion, finding him too polite and suspiciously kind. Nevertheless, after making peace, she understands he genuinely wanted to help her cope with her inner turmoil. While no close friendship forms, Pink comes to respect Ralsei for his ability to see the best in others — even if she isn't always ready to admit it.

After Pink's defeat, she and Kris share a small, private meeting at the café. Left alone with him, Pink — visibly flustered — finally gathers the courage to confess that her body still harbors strong feelings for him. Despite her attempts to maintain her usual gruff tone, she quickly blushes and bluntly declares that "nothing will stand in the way of true love." Her confession comes across as unexpectedly sincere: for the first time in the entire chapter, she doesn't argue with her body, but instead allows her own feelings to speak for themselves.

The romantic moment, however, is almost immediately interrupted. Susie and Ralsei unexpectedly enter the café with drinks. Unaware of what's unfolding, Susie asks Pink with genuine confusion whether she knows that Kris "flirts with literally every enemy." Ralsei then tries to soften the situation, explaining that during the battle it was simply a way to achieve a peaceful outcome: according to him, Kris "just used ACT to win without fighting." Susie then chides that this time, perhaps, Kris "went a little too far," while Ralsei adds, attempting to console Kris, that "usually no one takes that kind of flirting seriously."

Each remark steadily throws Pink further off balance. At first, she merely freezes in surprise, then her embarrassment shifts into bewilderment, followed by a genuine emotional overload. Unable to withstand the conflicting feelings, her body literally goes out of control and explodes from a "love malfunction." The remaining ghostly half of Pink, completely thrown off, exclaims: "What did you do to my body?!" She then demands an explanation from Kris, genuinely trying to understand whether his feelings were real or whether everything that happened was merely part of the battle. It is with this question that her brief date ends, turning the romantic scene into both a comedic and slightly bittersweet conclusion to her storyline.

Pink is the secret boss of DELTARUNE's fifth chapter and the holder of the final Shadow Crystal. She is an unusual hybrid of a Lightner and a Darkner: a ghost from the Blook family possessed a Mew Mew figurine, which became a Darkner after the Dark Fountain's creation. Because of this, two distinct beings coexist within a single body — the ghost's soul and the living figurine's mind. It is precisely this internal conflict that became the source of Pink's unstable personality.

Prior to the chapter's events, she settled in the Flower Kingdom, opening a small shop on the Cliffs. There, she observed everything through the window and sold rare items, including the Mysterious Key needed to unlock a secret room in the Flower Castle. Despite her outward gruffness, Pink was deeply troubled by the thought that, once the Dark Fountain was sealed, she would have to part forever with her new friends and the Colorful Flowers family. She was especially attached to Orange, whom she regarded as a younger sister. Unlike most of the previous secret bosses, her madness stemmed not from a thirst for freedom, but from an inability to accept her own existence and the need to live in a body that possessed a will of its own.

After separating from the body, Pink's true appearance becomes far closer to her ghostly nature. She retains Mew Mew's recognizable silhouette, but the differences are immediately striking.

Instead of soft pink, the Ghost is now colored in cold lilac and violet tones. Her hair turns pale purple, her dress becomes deep violet with white accents, and her magical staff adopts a white-and-purple palette. This darker, sharper look emphasizes the true personality hidden beneath Mew Mew's sweet shell.

Her face's most distinctive feature is her thick, sharply angled dark eyebrows, giving her a perpetually angry or irritated expression. Her eyes, simpler in shape, carry a far more piercing gaze. Even at rest, she seems constantly on edge. When enraged, her eyes widen, her mouth twists into an aggressive snarl, and every movement radiates raw emotion.

Her lower body has no legs. Instead, a long, semi-transparent ghostly tail trails beneath her, gradually fading into the air. She hovers constantly, moving smoothly and silently — abruptly changing flight height, freezing midair, or darting around her conversation partner, seemingly unable to remain still.

Despite the separation, she keeps all of Mew Mew's signature details: cat ears with white lining, bell earrings, numerous bows, a short magical-girl dress, and her staff. She remains visibly connected to the body, yet appears as its emotional and far more aggressive counterpart.

In this form, Pink's true nature shines through. Where her body seems sweet, shy, and romantic, the Ghost embodies accumulated resentment, irritation, and a desperate need to prove her worth. Even outwardly, they appear as two opposing halves of a single soul — separate, yet unable to fully sever their bond.

Pink is an unusual hybrid of a Lightner and a Darkner. Her body is a living Mew Mew figurine possessed by a ghost from the Blook family. Because of this, she combines the traits of a toy, a magical girl, and a ghostly being.

Her build is slender and petite. Her head is slightly disproportionately large relative to her body, emphasizing her origin as a collectible figurine. Her skin is a pale pink, almost porcelain, and her face has soft, rounded features with large, expressive eyes. Her irises are bright pink, and her gaze is very lively and emotional: in a calm state, it appears sweet and curious, while during outbursts of anger, it instantly becomes frightening.

Her hair is short, light pink, styled into a neat bob with long bangs. Atop her head are cat ears with white inner lining — one of the key elements of the Mew Mew image. On the sides of her head hang earrings in the form of small golden bells.

She wears a short pink-and-purple dress in the style of a "magical girl," adorned with numerous bows, frills, and decorative ribbons. Her sleeves are short and puffy, and her skirt is multi-layered. On her hands are long gloves, and on her feet are tall boots with small heels. In her hands, Pink carries a magical staff, used both during performances and in battle.

Despite her toy origins, she moves very naturally. Her movements are quick, springy, and filled with theatrical expressiveness. During conversation, she gestures actively, constantly shifting poses and emotions, as though trying to live up to the image of the perfect anime heroine.

Unlike the Ghost, Mew Mew's body possesses a gentle, calm, and extremely shy character. It comes across as friendly, sincere, and open to communication, but almost always feels awkward when it finds itself the center of attention. During conversation, the body often averts its gaze, smiles sheepishly, fiddles with its clothing, or nervously fidgets with its fingers — all betraying its anxiety.

The most notable feature of its personality is its romantic nature. Unlike the Ghost, who views relationships as an excuse for arguments and mutual teasing, the body genuinely dreams of warm emotional closeness. It blushes easily at compliments, sincere attention, or even an accidental touch, and attempts at flirting usually result in awkward pauses, stumbling speech, and even greater embarrassment.

During a peculiar date with the heroes, it becomes apparent that the body doesn't know how to court or flirt smoothly. It tries to be sweet and sincere, but its lack of self-confidence makes every attempt awkward. It is precisely this natural sincerity that sets it apart from the Ghost's theatrical showiness.

The body dislikes conflict and seeks peaceful resolutions. It is far more patient, compromises more readily, and begins to trust others more quickly. That said, it cannot be called weak: despite its shyness, it is capable of speaking openly about its feelings when it understands that it truly matters.

After reunification, both personalities begin to complement one another. From the body, Pink adopts the ability to express affection sincerely, to accept the care of others, and to stop fearing her own softness. Thanks to this, their combined personality becomes significantly more harmonious: the Ghost's emotional intensity is balanced by the body's kindness and sincerity, while the body's shyness is tempered by the Ghost's decisiveness and energy.

The Ghost is an emotional, impulsive, and extremely eccentric individual. She is accustomed to hiding her own insecurities behind a loud voice, sharp words, and feigned self-confidence. She turns almost any situation into a small theatrical performance: gesturing actively, shifting her intonations, dramatizing events, and never fearing to place herself at the center of attention. Because of this, she comes across to others as noisy, capricious, and even a little insane.

The most prominent feature of her character is her pronounced tsundere behavior. She very rarely speaks about her true feelings directly. If someone shows her affection, care, or understanding, her first reaction is irritation, denial, or an attempt to turn it all into a joke. Admitting her own vulnerability is nearly impossible for her, so rudeness often conceals embarrassment and a fear of rejection.

Despite her outward confidence, the Ghost suffers from deep internal insecurity. For many years, she felt like a nobody and sincerely believed that she could only find happiness by becoming someone else. That is precisely why she clings so desperately to the image of Mew Mew, viewing it as her only chance to become beautiful, loved, and significant.

In conversation, she enjoys teasing those around her, arguing, and making snide remarks. She can flare up over a single careless word, yet she calms down just as quickly if she senses sincere regard toward her. Beneath all her bravado lies a rather sensitive nature that desperately needs acceptance but is completely incapable of asking for help.

After coming to terms with her own body, the Ghost remains loud, emotional, and slightly erratic, yet she becomes significantly more honest with herself. She gradually learns to express her feelings without aggression and stops perceiving any form of closeness as a threat to her independence.
