** Sans, the [[Fun Personified|very]] [[Pungeon Master|punny]] [[The Slacker|lazy skeleton]] who is discovered to be [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|way more competent]] and [[Stepford Smiler|''way'' more broken]] than initially stated. Rampant speculations are about what of these traits are representative of the "real" Sans. One of the most common interpretations is that his slothfulness is a symptom of a depression brought by realizing that he is in some sort of [[Groundhog Day Loop]] he has no control over, and that he is [[Sad Clown|the kind of person who ''just can't'' stop smiling even if he wanted to]]. There are also many interpretations on how aware is he of the resets.
** Asgore: Kind ruler that feels compelled to go on with a promise he did during a moment of grief so his people doesn't loses hope, or a coward unable to take the right decisions and instead subjects himself and his people to a long agony? {{Spoiler|In universe, Toriel thinks of him as the latter.}}
** Toriel: legitimately kind [[Mama Bear|Mama Goat]], or [[My Beloved Smother|overbearing lady]] just one snap of going [[Evil Matriarch]]?. [[Word of God|Toby Fox went in record]] that he wanted to portray [[Parents as People|an ''actual'' mother]], instead of going with the generic "mother as a symbol" way moms are usually present in interactive fiction; whether he succeeded or not is up to the fans.
** Flowey, the main villain, who claims that he is the way he is because of not having an actual soul. That means that to be soulless means to be a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] and all around bastard, or merely be emotionless and/or unempathetic?. If being soulless means being an emotionless being, how emotionless Flowey ''actually'' is? Some fans have pointed that he ''does'' express some actual emotions, just ones that are either very primal or not positive.
