Profile

Frisk, from the AU Inverted Fate.

Name: Frisk
Age: 12
Occupation: Self-proclaimed hero, thanks to good ol’ Flowey.
Appearance: Fairly short, kinda scrawny, with messy, shoulder-length brown hair. Frisk typically squints, giving them their trademark closed-eye look, though there are times when their eyes will open wider, revealing perfectly normal, brown eyes. Their clothing of choice is a slightly worn, blue shirt with magenta stripes, though since leaving the Ruins they now wear a purple hoodie with fuzzy trim, a matching purple beanie, black mittens and snow boots, and tan snow pants as well.


Personality: Frisk tries their hardest to seem friendly, outgoing, cool, and confident. When meeting strangers, they try their best to put their best foot forward, eager to make friends and a positive impression. They enjoy making sassy quips (usually bad puns), can be a bit of a smartass, but are far from the mean-spirited sort. Their teasing comes from a place of caring, as does their flirting. And yes, this little dork can be quite the little Casanova.

They’re naturally curious, which drives them to poke around new places and things, even if it means observing every. Last. Snowpoff, or pulling strange crayon drawings after suspiciously placed cameras. This also leads to them being somewhat nosy and just a little suspicious at times. For as friendly as they seem, they aren’t stupid or naive, and they WILL call people out on behavior they find shifty… well, generally speaking.

See, like Papyrus, Frisk is riddled with insecurities. They want to feel important. Significant. They want to be noticed and loved. This leaves them wide open to manipulate under the right circumstances. Play to those insecurities, hit them at their absolute lowest moments, and their guard drops. Frisk has this habit of denial when they believe that things are going their way. Flowey promises a chance to free monsterkind and become a hero? Despite some mild frustrations and doubts, Frisk denies any possibility that Flowey is lying. Sans is a high ranking royal guard who by all means could kill them? Impossible! He’s done everything in his power to protect them, is a fun, laid back guy, why would he ever hurt them? He cares.

And that’s the thing. This Frisk… is kind of selfish, though they truly wish they weren’t. For as much as they care about others, they want to be cared for in return, which makes them quick to latch onto genuine kindness. They know that this is self-centered, and frankly, their own self-image is steeped in pessimism that has only grown since leaving the Ruins and being treated with so much hostility by the average monster.

And while they are pacifistic overall, once they’re set off, they can be grouchy, mean, and downright bull-headed. And should their cheerful facade break and they hit their lowest points, it can be difficult to pull them out of their slumps. Frisk worries. Frisk has trouble letting go of their screw-ups. They internalize again and again, try to hide their less than favorable characteristics and weaknesses.

Basically, this kid has issues, and where Papyrus is an optimist, Frisk is a pessimist pretending to be optimistic. But, hey, it’s an act that’s gotten them this far.
