| The eighth human to fall Underground, and the one who witnessed the breaking of the Barrier sealing monsters within. Little about their history on the surface is known, but they have since made it clear that their reason to falling Underground was "not a very happy reason," revealed in brief flashes of misanthropy and distrust of humans. Their history makes it difficult for them to open up to others, though they have gradually begun to be more open and talkative. They are fiercely protective of those they call family, and as they have started to come into their own, have revealed themselves to possess a mischievous streak a mile wide. Frisk's pacifist nature and earnest, playful exterior masks a plethora of complications, most of which have been fiercely and wholly internalized. They favor MERCY above all else, mourn the loss of any life as they consider it unnecessary and avoidable, and judge their own actions on a harsh spectrum. With the power to SAVE and LOAD at will, several strings of neutral runs and an incomplete No Mercy run under their belt, Frisk is a human child who has been given too much power and next to no direction on how to use it. With the passing of judgment at the end of each run, they have come to accept and internalize the ideology handed down to them by the monsters - their life is expendable; everyone else's is not. The longer they remain in Wonderland, the more the true extent of their self-loathing has become evident to those around them. But despite those fears, they remain determined. Determined to stay in Wonderland and never go back to the Underground again, so that they may finally grant everyone else the happy ending they deserve. And...maybe...Frisk isn't really the greatest person. ... But it's okay. They'll do better. They'll be better. They can be good. They'll be what everyone wants them to be. |

Say you stayed at home alone with the flu
Find out from friends that wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
You said I came close as anyone's come
To live underwater for more than a month
You said it was night inside my heart; it was
You said it should tear a kid apart; it does
I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
Told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry
Frisk's relationship with Chara has only grown increasingly codependent as time has gone on, but they have resolved never to return to the Underground, since that is a world in which Chara is dead and cannot be brought back. Instead, they both chose to remain in Wonderland, or depart to another world entirely if need be.
Despite everything, despite the bumps in the road and the moments of broken promises and damaged trust - they find themselves inevitably drawn to one another, SOULmates in every respect.
Never let them go again.

My hands are shaking as I'm turning the wheel
I'm gonna meet you there
It took it all getting a little too real
To realize how much I care
So here's some wine for a thirsty world
That somehow forgot there's a sea
I always thought I was looking for you
Turns out you were looking for me
Moving forward now, I've made up my mind
I know what we ought to be
What a waste, I tried to turn back time
Instead of chasing my destiny
And all the voices saying turn back now
They say it never could be
Maybe the others all fell under their spell
But that will not happen to me
We took the long way; we took the wrong way
And now we're headed home
My hands are shaking as I'm touching your face
We're back right where we began
I get the feeling if it all was explained
I still wouldn't understand
So here's some wine for a thirsty world
Keep your eyes fixed up above
Just let the fire burn away what you know
And get ready to LOVE
'Cause everything is okay
Even when it's not
Their conversations have varied in deep and personal ways, from the subject of suicide and PTSD to the mysterious Dr. W.D. Gaster, who th>ey gradually discovered had a connection to Sans of some sort. Like with Chara, Frisk has trusted Sans with things they have told no one else.
The initial rendering of Sans's judgment and all judgments that followed on the ensuing paths has been and continues to be one of the defining moments in Frisk's time Underground. They walk in constant fear of disappointing him, as they feel that after everything they've shared and the sentiments they know they have both come to accept about one another, they feel that to go back on that would be the cruelest betrayal. Frisk has come to trust Sans's insight and ability to read into things, and he is one of the few people they trust to protect other people from their destructive potential.
He's family.
Maybe one day, despite everything...they can find his happy ending too.

Lonely boys, it's always been the same,
They dream big dreams that don't come true.
The clamor in their heads won't go away.
It continues to churn, it continues to churn.
Lonely boy mutters "I'm feeling fine",
But have those words failed him this time?
He's a failure, a failure.
Always obsessing over his mistakes makes
Everything spin once again!
"How 'bout now? Wait a little bit,
We can't really see what's ahead in the future.
Why don't you go hold your breath right now?"
This is how it ends for Rolling Boys,
They can't reach the colors anymore.
The overlapping voices can be heard,
They all blend together, they all blend together...
He mutters "I'm always feeling fine",
But now those words fail him this time.
He's not caring how it ends.
He can't predict his fate and everything it holds.
An upward climb invites mistakes.
One more time, one more time.
"I think I can roll along again today."
That's what he said, what he said.
All the while breathing laughs into every word!
"How 'bout now? Okay, you can look.
You must be tired of all of this right?"

I hope you know that I think you're my family too. I've never had a family before. I'll never forget everything you've done for all of us. Not just for me, but for Chara and Sans and Alphys and Mettaton and everyone.
Sometimes you SAVED me when I thought everything else was lost.

As winter takes me now, of cold and clammy skin
A barren empty womb as I am born again
It's pulling at my hair and crawling all within
A gentle beating heart is swept away by sin
That's enough, the end
Comes undone
Falls off the edge, falls out young
Falls off the edge, falls off love
As dark comes the night
We all die young
That's enough, the end
Comes undone
Comes undone
The monster in your head
Won't surface again
Be still my child,
Wash away the sin
And I as future kings
Walk off the edge
Hold me by my name -
Hold me 'til the end.
Since that initial conversation, their bond has only grown progressively stronger. Frisk simultaneously yearns for Alphys to be happy and content with herself and knows better than anyone that such a thing is never as simple as resolving to think and feel better. Due to their knowledge of certain possible endings in the Underground, Frisk worries intensely for their friend in the same way they do about Chara and Sans, that one day circumstances may push Alphys to her breaking point, and there will be no helping her back from it.
She did her very best to SAVE them, reliving some of her darkest fears and rebuilding a DT Extractor to keep them from death. Even if, in the long run, it may have only delayed their inevitable death - a hard RESET - the fact that she tried means more than she can know.

So far from who I was
From who I LOVE
From who I want to be
So far from all our dreams
From what LOVE means
From you here next to me
So far from seeing HoPe
I stand out here alone
Am I asking for too much?
So far from being free
A past that's haunting me
A future I just can't touch
And if you take my hand
Please pull me from the dark
And show me HoPe again
We'll run side by side
No secrets left to hide
Sheltered from the pain
In some, they accrued as much LOVE as possible in the RUINS, and cut her down in one stroke.
This is the timeline Toriel remembers, and that Frisk can never forgive themselves for. They have come to see Toriel as the weight of their consequences made manifest, proof that no matter how they try to LOAD and RESET, they cannot ERASE the burden of their sins. While the relationship between the pair of them, originally fraught with mistrust and anger and fear, has lessened somewhat, a long time will have to pass before Frisk can view their interactions with Toriel as anything other than imposition on her potential happiness with Chara.
But there may yet be HoPe.

I have made mistakes, I continue to make them
The promises I've made, I continue to break them
And all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them
But nothing is a waste if you learn from it
And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your soul
And it will make you whole
We have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us
But we will overcome the apathy that has made us
Because we are not alone in the dark with our demons
And we have made mistakes
But we've learned from them
And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your SOUL
And it will make you whole
And oh my heart, how can I face you now?
When we both know how badly I have let you down
And I am afraid of all that I've built
Fading away
Mostly, though, they know just how lonely he is, how desperately he misses his wife and children, and they want more than ever to give some of that back to him. They don't know if they will ever reach the point where they can call him "family," but they hope that in some distant future, they might be able to.

I've been running from the pain
Trying not to feel the same
But it's a shame that we're sinking
See, my confidence is shaking
And my heart is feeling vacant
So you try to fill it in
I know it's been a while
'Cause my memory's on trial
For the way I used to be
My head is running miles
'Round in circles and I try
To find the little light in me
You say "I could fix the broken in your heart
You're worth SAVING darling."
But I don't know why you're shooting in the dark
I got faith in nothing
But love, pray for me
I never had somebody
So I don't know how to LOVE
Pray for me
I know I need somebody
So I can learn how to LOVE
Yet the inevitable obstruction arose, as Frisk predicted it eventually might. Back in the Underground, Frisk and Chara both uncovered the truth of the robot's origins as Napstablook's cousin in Waterfall, a ghost possessing his current body. Frisk's Mirror made their knowledge of this fact quite clear. Once he ascertained their story with the Real Frisk, his subsequent hurt led Frisk to allow him to believe that they simply never truly cared for him, thinking it safer for the both of them if he does not get attached to the human child who has no plans to return to the Underground.
Like many of their plans and promises, that, too, failed.
Time will tell as to whether they will come to resent its failure.

And another one bites the dust
Oh why can I not conquer love?
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
And I will stay up through the night
And let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I'll walk through fire to save my life
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart,
But your blade, it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard,
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
Despite the complications of Wonderland, the myriad deaths that litter both of their histories, Frisk and Dipper trust each other implicitly, and do not hesitate to come to one another's aid. Frisk feels safer confiding in Dipper than they do most other humans, thanks to him being both close to them in age and someone who takes very little of anyone's bullshit. They view the bond between him and his sister, Mabel, as something of a parallel to the one they share with Chara, along with all the codependency and teamwork that comes with it.

I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.
I said, "I am terribly sorry but there is nothing I can do for you
that you can't do for yourself."
He said, "Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help."
So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt.
He said, "I think I'm cured. No, in fact, I'm sure.
Thank you Stranger, for your therapeutic smile."
So that's how I learned the lesson that everyone's alone
And your eyes must do some raining if you're ever going to grow
But when crying don't help, you can't compose yourself
It's best to compose a poem
An honest verse of longing or a simple song of hope
That is why I'm singing, baby don't worry, cause now I got your back
And every time you feel like crying I'm gonna try and make you laugh
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to pass
And I will keep you company through those days so long and black
And we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve
Of love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall
Then I think we'd see the beauty, then we'd stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed
Like a bowl of oranges
Like a story told
By the fault lines and the soil
Despite these similarities that neither child is willing or able to acknowledge directly, Mabel remains one of Frisk's first and closest friends made in Wonderland. Mabel has come to Frisk and Chara's aid enough times to cement Frisk's firm trust and appreciation of her, even if Mabel and Chara's relationship is...rocky at best. Following Frisk's first death in the Deep Roads, they believe there might be a chance for the pair of them to become firmer friends.

After all these implements and text designed by intellects
So vexed to find evidently there's just so much that hides
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient fading lines
Their sentiment is just as hard to pluck from the vine
I'll try hard not to pretend
Allow myself no mock defense
As I step into the night
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure out
The nursery rhymes that helped us out in making sense of our lives
The cruel uneventful state of apathy releases me
I value them but I won't cry every time one's wiped out
I'll try hard not to give in
Batten down to fare the wind
Rid my head of this pretense
Allow myself no mock defense
As I step into the night...
There's no measuring of it
As nothing else is love
Mercy's eyes are blue
When she places them in front of you
Nothing really holds a candle to
The solemn warmth you feel inside of you.
Ford has helped Frisk through some of their lowest moments in Wonderland, when they felt more isolated and abandoned than ever. They trust him with knowledge of their powers and their morally dubious past. Frisk doesn't have the clearest conceptualization of what an uncle is meant to be like, let alone a Grunkle - but Ford, to them, feels more like a Grunkle than anyone.

We're too young to know what LOVE is; our loss
Cynical eyes scanning the room for meaning
Maybe youth is wasted on the young, our loss
Travel in packs, drinking our teenage spirit
Maybe we're all clinker criminals
Running fast to blur the visuals
I'm not sure I've got the heart for this
Maybe that's the hardest part of it
If we're brave enough we won't SAVE it up for later
Come on, show me what, come on, show me what you mean
I'll start the engine up, come on, show me what you're made of
We're not damaged goods, maybe we're just lonely people
I feel like we're total strangers, so what
Monopoly minds, following blind to danger
This feels like a race against the clock, tick tock
All of our tears are rubbing of silver metals
Do we have the time to justify
All these sins we try to glorify?
Don't you SAVE a word for later,
Tell me just what are you thinking
Give me something to believe in
Don't you SAVE a word for later
Maybe we're just lonely people
One of their first experiences with him involved his intervention during a nightmare in an event in which he had powers to manipulate dreams. In that moment of apparent kindness with no benefit to himself, he cemented much of Frisk's perception of him. While more predisposed to take violent action than they've witnessed from Ford, Stan also has a fondness for terrible jokes and is fiercely protective of Mabel and Dipper. Despite his external reticence and reluctance in showing affection, they've come to regard him as an important part of their family.

You turn in circles till the day goes blurred
And hope in the end night will still take you.

Of still beating yourself up with the shadows in the dark?

Turning in circles until the walls go black.

Aren't you tired? After so many years
You don't know your questions anymore,
Can form no clear sentence, speak in confused phrases,
Choke on words, abandon your dreams to desolate places.
And I find you on the floor. You let clay pigeons fly,
But your gun alone must weight ten tons.

Give that to me, I can hold it for you
Give that to me, I can hold it for you

The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you LOVE what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you've always denied
Seal my heart and break my pride

Align my heart, my body, my mind

Soon I'll be sixty years old
Will I be all alone 'cause I never valued what was all around me?
OVER THE GARDEN WALL.

Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them
Branches and limbs are intangible things
That's a fact, but it's not been proven
I am alive but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
Pull up my roots, I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take it for granted
I'll abandon my flaws if you call off this song
Don't cut me down
I was reeling with drought, so I moved up and out
But I stay in the ground
I'm alive, but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
I pull up my roots, but I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take that for granted
Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them

Cold through broken baseboards.
I despise this town.
Snow on the sunroof two stories down.
Hold hands, wish the snow away.
Rise in the darkness of the gathering day.
Sing, sing for ourselves alone.
Speak into the microphone.
Cedar smudge our headbands and take to the skies.
Soar ever-upwards on air gone black with flies.
Shroud ourselves in the cosmos, let the music play.
Bright star of the morning, shine on his rising way.
Learn some secrets, never tell.
Stay sick, don't get well.
Clutch those broken headboards, ride the highest wave.
Dusky diamonds shining in the far depths of the cave.
Try to explain ourselves, babble on and on.
By the time you receive this, we'll be gone.
Sing, sing high.
While the fire climbs.
Sing one for the old times.
THE WALKING DEAD.

Oh God I'm going insane
Chasing after you, please don't leave me
I see your heart watching away
And that's how you left me in the cold
Some say I'm losing my faith
But I know I'm just living on a prayer
Time keeps slipping away
I'll watch you burn down these vows that we made
It's pitiful how you let me lose
You better run, better run
Your time is out, nothing you can do
Better run, better run
Oh God I'm going insane
But I know I'm just living on a prayer
I see your heart watching away
And that's how you left me in the cold
I can't remember when you hurt me so bad
But now the tables turn, apocalypse is coming
I can't remember when you left me so sad
But in the end I learned it rains in hell and angels could be bad
MIRRORS.

Hey
What's your name?
Don't worry
Don't be afraid
We won't hurt you
Hey
Lost your way?
Don't worry
Just do as we say
And we won't hurt you
It's hard
The world can lead you so astray
It gets harder
It's hard just to keep the faith
Do you need a reminder
Of the LOVE that we gave you?
Don't worry
You're walking away
But we'll always be watching you
(We'll always be watching you)
(We'll always be watching you)
They're just like all the other humans, representing all the things Frisk hates most about humanity: LV 14, pointlessly callous, and rejoicing in the chaos and agony they inflict upon others. The worst part, however, is the fact that Frisk can't run from the inherent truth in that their Mirror truly is an iteration of Frisk that existed, that exact formation of LOVE and EXP that made them who they are. The only difference is that the Mirror chose to embrace it instead of run away from it.
At Frisk's most vulnerable moment...
They can't let that happen again.

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was LOVE
LOVE is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try.
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame.
So in the end
I will be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame.
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost.
You can never go home.
Chara's Mirror mostly fills them with pity and sympathy and a desire to keep them safe from the other Mirrors that would hurt them, knowing full well that Chara's Mirror would never FIGHT back.

You're on your own
In a world you've grown
Few more years to go,
Don't let the hurdle fall
I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else,
We're alone now
I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else,
We're alone now
Suddenly, I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends are gone
And your friends won't come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit
All things considered, they're not sure they actually want to meet him.

I just made an enemy of someone
I don't know, and they are upset about somethin'
That I must have done, it really doesn't make much sense
That I've got no statement in my defense - What!
I know,
No matter what
No matter who
No matter what I do
Somebody hates me
(Somebody hates me)
Somebody hates me, somebody hates me
(Somebody hates me)
Somebody hates me, somebody hates me
And I hate somebody too
Did you misunderstand something that I did
Or was it one of my jokes that you didn't get
Or do you think you've got the way I think all figured out
What did I say to make you feel not cool now- Well!
I know it's wrong
I do it too (I do it too)
And I guess I should say
Don't let it get to you
Somebody hates me
And I hate somebody too
Someone like you
Their first meeting was tumultuous at best, and their relationship is therefore unlikely to be reparable. Frisk wasted no time in completely turning over the Mirror's view of the very foundations of how her world worked in effortlessly quoting the spr_gasterblaster_0.png image file, and took advantage of her subsequent furious confusion to gain the upper hand in their encounter.

Say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames
ERASE myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't LOVE you
They just love the hotel suites, now
On the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth
Free love on the streets but
In the alley it ain't that cheap, now
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Said, I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

The looking glass, so shiny and new
How quickly the glamour fades
I start spinning, slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take? (Raise it up)
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough? (Raise it up, raise it up)
It's not enough (Raise it up, raise it up)
Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
I look around, but I can't find you (raise it up)
If only I could see your face (raise it up)
Instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up)
I wish that I could just be brave
I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
She agrees to keep Chara's Mirror safe, however, and for that reason Frisk is privately, quietly grateful. At least it means that Mirror will have someone in their corner.

You're a douchebag, do-douchebag do-do-do-do-do-douchebag.
You're a douchebag, do-douchebag do-do-do-do-do-douchebag.
Hey Mr. DoucheBag, why's your ego so massive?
You know it's 2 AM and it's dark outside.
You don't need those sunglasses.
Yeah we all remember that hot chick
You hooked up with once
Cause you went on to brag about it for months and months.
Yeah we all get that you think it's impressive
But ain't nobody impressed with how much you're bench pressing.
Buying Smirnoff Ice for girls half your age,
Telling all your douchebag friends that you "still got game."
Inconsiderate, ignorant
You drink you get belligerent,
You think anybody finds you amusing?
No, no, no. Not even a little bit.
You always find a way to stop all the fun
Like, when you scream "party foul" at the top of your lungs.
