Kris (Deltarune)

Kris Dreemurr is the protagonist of the episodic role-playing video game Deltarune. They are a human teenager residing in the Light World with their monster mother Toriel. Kris befriends a monster girl named Susie after they both discover a Dark World inside their school's supply closet. Alongside Susie and the Darkner Ralsei, Kris is prophesied to seal various "Dark Fountains" which threaten to destroy both worlds. Kris appears to struggle with the player's control over them, occasionally rejecting it by ripping out their "soul", which seemingly allows Kris to regain free will, albeit in a weakened state. They were created by the game's developer, Toby Fox, with additional design work by concept artist Gigi DG and sprite artist Chess. Kris has been generally well received by critics. Various aspects of their character have been subject to analysis, such as their relationship with the player, including in the alternate "weird" route, and in comparisons to characters in the related game Undertale. Kris' use of singular they pronouns has led some to interpret them as non-binary and has earned them praise as an example of LGBTQ representation in video games, despite the lack of official confirmation of their gender.
