I am TORIEL, caretaker of the RUINS.

Toriel introducing herself.

Toriel is the second character the protagonist encounters in Undertale. She saves the protagonist from Flowey and guides them through the Ruins.

Profile

Appearance

Toriel with her reading glasses, seen on the title screen if the protagonist spares her.

Toriel is a Boss Monster whose head resembles a white-furred Nubian Goat, structured with floppy ears and tiny horns. She has a pair of visible fangs and long eyelashes, and her irises have a dark red tint. She has an anthropomorphic body, with paws at the end of her limbs. She wears a long purple robe with white sleeves and the Delta Rune on the chest. Toriel can also be seen with reading glasses, one instance being in her house when reading a book on snail facts.

Personality

Toriel is a kind monster that acts as a protective mother figure for the protagonist. She employs tough love on the protagonist as well as Asgore. She cares for children and was excited to become a mother.[1]

She enjoys cooking and bakes butterscotch-cinnamon pie as well as her favorite, snail pie.

Toriel has a playful side, as shown by her love of puns and bad jokes, and she even keeps a journal of puns.[2]

Toriel is said to be intelligent[3] and dreams of becoming a teacher. She has already prepared a curriculum for the protagonist by the time they reach her home in the Ruins.[4] In the True Pacifist Ending Credits, she stands outside a school and, in the Family Ending of the Neutral Route, she starts her own.

Main Story

Before the events of Undertale, she was married to King Asgore and had a son, Asriel. When the first human fell into the Underground, she adopted them as their child. When the deaths of their two children pushed Asgore to declare war on humanity, Toriel became disgusted by his actions. She left him, retrieved the first human’s body so she could give them a proper burial,[5] and remained in the Ruins.

Toriel often checks the entrance to the Ruins to tend to the bed of Golden Flowers[6] and aid those who fall into the Underground.[7] It is implied that she had cared for the previous six fallen humans in the same way she cares for the protagonist before their eventual depart.[8][9] Sometime after that, Toriel and Sans became friends over knock-knock jokes they shared at the Ruins’s exit door. One day, she requested that he promises to protect humans that exit through the door.[10]

Neutral Route

Toriel guides the protagonist through the Ruins.

At the beginning of the game, Toriel saves the protagonist from Flowey, healing any damage done by him. After introducing herself, she guides them through the first few rooms of the Ruins. She encourages the protagonist to deal with monster encounters by talking to them, as opposed to acting violently.

Toriel gives the protagonist a cell phone to keep in contact with one another, as she needs to run errands further into the Ruins. She tells them to stay where they are, only to be disobeyed. Toriel occasionally calls the protagonist as they explore to inquire if they left the room, on their favorite flavor preferences, and offers advice on keeping space for new items. When Toriel is about to call once more, she discovers the protagonist is near the entrance to her home. If the protagonist is injured, she heals them.

In her home, Toriel introduces the protagonist to their room and plans to raise them as her own. At the scent of something burning, Toriel leaves them to check on the freshly baked butterscotch-cinnamon pie. After the protagonist asks her about leaving the Ruins, Toriel abruptly leaves; the protagonist follows.

As she goes toward the exit of the Ruins, she explains that she plans to destroy the exit to prevent the protagonist from leaving, as all other humans who left had been killed.[11]

Toriel hugging the protagonist.

At the end of the Ruins, Toriel tells the protagonist to prove that they are strong enough to survive and fights them in a test of strength. She can be killed or spared; if spared, Toriel allows them to leave, but advises them to never return.[12] She hugs them briefly, and looks back at them once more before departing to tend to the flowerbed.

For information on her ending, see Neutral Route#Toriel Ending Tree.

True Pacifist Route

Toriel reappears just as Asgore and the protagonist prepare to fight, interrupting it with her fire magic, much like she does with Flowey at the start of the game. Toriel explains that she was constantly worried about the protagonist, and realized that they would have to take a life to leave, something she was trying to prevent since the beginning.

When Asgore expresses his delight at her reappearance, she scolds him for his cowardice. Toriel criticizes Asgore’s plan on freeing monsterkind[13] and rejects his request at being friends.

As the protagonist’s friends come, she introduces herself to them and recognizes Sans’s voice immediately. She tells the protagonist that while they may have to stay Underground with all their friends, they will live a happy life regardless.

Flowey then appears. Having absorbed the human SOULs, he binds Toriel and company with vines. When Flowey tries to kill the protagonist, Toriel is the first monster to intervene, using her fire magic to block Flowey’s bullets. Her SOUL, along with every other monsters’, is eventually absorbed by Flowey, allowing him to become Asriel.

During the protagonist’s battle with Asriel, Toriel appears as one of the Lost Souls. However, she is eventually saved along with the others by the protagonist when they help them regain their memories of their recent experiences with them.

Epilogue

After the fight against Asriel concludes, she learns the protagonist’s name, «Frisk.» She tells them that they are free to go through the Underground to talk to more of their friends. Meanwhile, Alphys upgrades Toriel’s phone, allowing her to send text messages.

Frisk leaves the Underground with Toriel and their other friends. As the others leave Frisk to begin their lives on the Surface, Toriel asks Frisk what they will do now.[14]

  • If Frisk decides to stay with Toriel, she says that none of this would have happened if they remained with her at the beginning of the game and that it was for the best that they decided to leave the Ruins.[15] She then promises to take care of Frisk for as long as they need.[16] Like in the Ruins, Toriel takes Frisk’s hand as they walk offscreen together. After the credits, Toriel brings a slice of pie to Frisk’s room.
  • If Frisk says that they «have places to go,» Toriel says that she will see them later.[17] After the credits, Frisk and their monster friends are shown together in a sepia photograph.

In the credits sequence, Toriel welcomes Monster Kid to a school that she opened and teaches at. The school door is adorned with the Delta Rune without the triangles that represented the monsters trapped Underground.[18]

Relationships

The Protagonist

Toriel cares for humans who fall into the Ruins and the protagonist is no exception. She tries to keep the protagonist in the Ruins, as Asgore killed the other humans who left her care. If the protagonist spares her, she lets them leave the Ruins, but not before giving them a parting hug.

Toriel’s reaction if the protagonist kills her after she is spared thirteen times.

If the protagonist kills her during a Neutral Route, she uses the last of her strength to give them a warning about what lies ahead and calls the protagonist «my child» before she turns to dust.[19] If the protagonist kills her when she stops attacking, she says that the protagonist is no different from the monsters outside the Ruins and laughs hysterically before she dies.[20] In the Genocide Route, she realizes that by keeping the protagonist in the Ruins, she was protecting not the protagonist, but the rest of the monsters in the Underground.[21] The death sprite for Toriel is the same in a Genocide Route and on a Neutral Route if the protagonist kills her after she is spared thirteen times.

If the protagonist calls Toriel «mom,» it surprises her, and she states that if it makes them happy, then she heartily approves of it.

Calling Toriel on her phone in the Ruins and flirting with her makes her assume the protagonist is joking, if they do it again she is unsure what to make of it.[22] If they flirt with her after calling her «mother,» she becomes uncomfortable and calls the protagonist an «interesting» child. She also mentions this in the epilogue.[23]

If the game is reset, Toriel says that talking to the protagonist is like «meeting an old friend for the first time» and also says that she feels this way about most fallen humans.[24]

Asgore

Asgore is Toriel’s ex-husband. They were once extremely close, winning first place in the ’98 Nose Nuzzle competition[25] and were open about their affection for one another.[26] During their marriage, Toriel’s nicknames for Asgore included «Fluffybuns»[27] and «Gorey.»[28]

Toriel left Asgore and New Home after he declared war on humanity.[29] After they are reunited on the True Pacifist Route, Toriel criticizes his plan for freeing monsters[13]but still believes that he deserves mercy, even though he is «terrible.»[30] When Asgore asks if they can be reconciled or at least be friends, Toriel declines. While she appears to be civil with Asgore when she speaks to him about the future of the Underground in the aftermath of the fight against Asriel, once they are on the surface and everyone else has left, Asgore wonders whether he should leave too, and Toriel glares at him, prompting him to leave her and Frisk alone. However, in the ending credits, she does not mind his presence while trimming the bushes, hinting a developing tolerance or gradual forgiveness.

Flowey

Toriel calls Flowey a «terrible creature»[31] right after preventing him from killing the protagonist. She is unaware that Flowey is her son, Asriel.

Sans

Sans and Toriel do not meet in person until the end of a True Pacifist Route and the Family and Exiled Queen endings, where they both have become good friends. They started their friendship by telling jokes to each other through the door between the Ruins and Snowdin.[32] One day, Toriel entrusted Sans with protecting any human that left the Ruins.[10]
They continue to bond in the epilogue and text each other as Frisk backtracks through the Underground.

Trivia

  • Toriel’s name is similar to that of the Watcher angel «Turiel» (More commonly known as «Yomiel») in Judaism and Christianity. Furthermore, Toriel herself is described as the «watcher» and «caretaker» of the Ruins.
  • Toriel’s name is a play on the word «tu-torial,» as she teaches the protagonist about how the game works.
  • When attempting to name the fallen human «Toriel,» the response is: «I think you should think of your own name, my child,» and prevents the name from being used.
  • Toriel is the only character that has a blinking animation in the dialogue box.
  • Toriel’s dialogue completely excludes the use of contractions, hence her more idiosyncratic phrases, such as «is it not» instead of «isn’t it«, giving her speech patterns a more «ancient» tone. This trait is absent from both her appearances in the Alarm Clock App and Deltarune.

Toriel’s initial reaction to the protagonist boring the Dummy.

  • If the protagonist bores the Dummy during their encounter, Toriel stares in disbelief and confusion and starts thinking in a confused manner before moving to the next room without comment.
  • Toriel has a sock drawer despite never wearing socks in-game.
    • The narrator’s reaction to Toriel’s sock drawer[33] and Sans’s sock pile[34] is similar.
  • Toriel and Photoshop Flowey are the only characters whose battle sprites have colored eyes throughout their battles.
  • Toriel and Undyne are the only bosses that the protagonist can flee from in battle.
  • Attempting to open the menu by pressing C after fleeing her battle makes the menu disappear instantly, leaving the room does not reproduce the error.
  • If Toriel was killed and the protagonist resets to the point before her battle, Toriel remarks that the protagonist looks like they «have seen a ghost»[35] and asks if the protagonist knows something she does not, before saying that is impossible.[36]
  • If the protagonist spares Toriel, she can be found by the flowerbed where the protagonist initially awoke after falling into the underground. If the protagonist backtracks to talk to her, she tells them «Do not worry about me. Someone has to take care of these flowers.»
    • Asriel also says this when backtracking to the same location after completing a True Pacifist Route.
  • The player cannot call Toriel once they exit the Ruins even if she was spared. While most players may assume that Toriel intentionally refuses to answer the protagonist’s calls outside of the Ruins, she is actually unable to answer due to the Annoying Dog having stolen her phone.
    • Calling her with the Annoying Dog in the inventory causes ringing in the protagonist’s inventory, implying that it stole and ate her phone.
  • Toriel once wore a flower-patterned muu-muu; other monsters complimented her by saying «nice muu-muu,» but she assumed everyone was calling her a cow and never wore it again.[37]
  • Despite Toriel’s motherly nature, she is not above swearing.[38]
    • Toby Fox stated in a deleted tweet that it is possible for Toriel to have said the «F-word.»[39]
    • An example of this is in the Undertale Alarm Clock app. According to Papyrus, Toriel started acting weird due to drinking too much eggnog. This included singing holiday songs and replacing all of the words with swears.[40]
  • According to Sans, at some point after the events of the game, Toriel drank three glasses of wine and threw pizza at him like frisbees.[41]
    • Toby Fox has clarified on his Tumblr that these pizzas were meant to be miniature Lunchables pizzas and not regular, full-size pizzas, but he doesn’t really mind either way because he finds the concept of Toriel throwing full-size pizzas at Sans to be funny.[42]

Toriel is a fictional character and is the first area boss in the role-playing video game Undertale. A motherly figure created as an embodiment of excessive video game tutorials, she is a member of the monster race with hanging ears, small horns, white fur, and a purple robe. Literally «hand-holding» the player through the opening sections of the game, the player must attempt to leave the area, upon which point they fight her. The player can choose to kill her or convince her to stop fighting, which affects the way the story plays out.

The character has received attention from critics and fans for her personality as well as the atypical moral choice of her boss battle. A version of the character also appears in Deltarune.[1]

History and appearances[edit]

Undertale[edit]

The player meets Toriel shortly after they fall into the Underground, where she is seen as a motherly figure who desires to protect the player from its dangers.[2] She teaches the player the mechanics of the game, encouraging them to show mercy to enemies rather than attack them.[2] Giving the player a phone with which to contact her, she leaves the player on their own to figure out the rest of the Ruins, after which they arrive at her house.

While she attempts to take care of the player, they become restless and attempt to leave the Ruins. Having seen several human children die at the hands of Asgore Dreemurr, the king of the Underground, she fears for the player’s safety and confronts them in battle. If the player chooses not to kill her, the battle is «long and arduous» with little indication that the player’s tactics are working until she relents.[2] In fact, she must be spared many times in order to persuade her to allow the player to leave the Ruins. If Toriel is betrayed by killing her after she relents, however, she tells the player that she regrets having tried to raise the player. If the player loads the game after battling Toriel to view an alternate outcome, Flowey appears and mocks the player for their actions, establishing the use of saved games as a plot element in Undertale. If she is killed upon killing 20 randomly-encountered enemies in the Ruins, she remarks that she wasn’t protecting the player from the rest of the Underground, she was protecting the rest of the Underground by attempting to keep the player in the Ruins. Doing this causes the game to go down a darker «no mercy» (often called «Genocide») route for as long as the player continues to kill all of the enemies they encounter.

It is later revealed that Toriel was once Asgore’s wife, and they had a son, Asriel. When Asriel died, she gave up her crown due to her disgust at Asgore’s decision to kill human children for their souls in order to break the «Barrier» keeping the monsters trapped in the Underground.[2]

Near the end of the True Pacifist story route, Toriel arrives at «New Home» (The Underground’s capital) and stops Asgore and the player from fighting. However, Flowey appears and absorbs her soul along with that of all the other monsters in the Underground to gain the form of «Asriel, the God of Hyper-Death». Later on, after the player has fought Asriel, who uses the human souls and his immense power to break the Barrier, Toriel and the other monsters leave the Underground, returning to the Surface. Toriel offers to provide a home for the human; the player can choose to accept or reject this, which leads to a differing post-credits scene depending on the choice. In the non-playable True Pacifist epilogue, we see that Toriel has achieved her dream of founding and teaching a school.

Deltarune[edit]

In Deltarune, Toriel is the adoptive mother of Kris and the biological mother of Asriel. She wakes Kris up at the beginning of Chapter one and drops them off at school. After returning from the Dark World, Kris receives a call from Toriel, who tells them that they are in trouble for being late. However, she seems pleased to hear that Kris has made a friend, and allows Kris to explore the town before coming home. In the game’s second chapter, she can be seen conversing with Alphys about Kris’ well-being during the prologue; in the epilogue, she invites Susie into the Dreemurr household, and suggests that she spend the night after she realises that her car tires had been slashed, unbeknownst to the two of them by Kris, before all three of them are consumed by what is implied to be a Dark Fountain that Kris opens. It is implied in the game that Toriel works as a teacher for a younger class at Kris’ school.

Development[edit]

Toriel was initially envisioned by the game’s creator, Toby Fox, as a «tutorial person that can’t stand to see you leave».[3] She was later incorporated as the latter boss of the two bosses (the former being Napstablook) of the game’s demo, which was used to promote its successful Kickstarter campaign.

Merchandise[edit]

An official Toriel plush was released by Fangamer. The plush contains a white heart soul inside, which can only be found if the plush is cut apart. This detail reflects her death scene in Undertale, and was described by Kotaku as «weirdly unsettling».[4] A figure of Toriel was also released by Fangamer as part of a set.[5]

Reception[edit]

Jess Joho of Kill Screen called the character «relying on the inhumanly selfless portrait of motherhood», but doing so with a purpose, praising the boss encounter with her as respecting the player’s ability to think through a problem, as well as their basic instincts as a human being.[2] She stated that the game holds up a mirror to «patriarchal» game design that encourages players to impatiently «sacrifice their own mother and humanity» rather than engaging with the enemy on a «human level».[2]

Nathan Grayson of Kotaku stated that while he killed Toriel during his playthrough, his encounter with her made him cry due to her friendliness and relatability as a character.[6] He also praised the game for remembering this on his next playthrough.[7] Jack de Quidt of Rock, Paper, Shotgun called the tutorial sequence featuring her «beautifully paced» and praised the character, saying «Toriel’s all right»,[8] while Richard Cobbett of the same site called her sprite animations «understated but effective».[9]

Julie Muncy of Kill Screen criticized the encounter with Toriel as unintuitive, saying that she lost the ability to trust the game after being seemingly forced to kill Toriel, which forced her onto the game’s «Neutral» route.[10]

The player meets Toriel shortly after they fall into the Underground, where she is seen as a motherly figure who desires to protect the player from its dangers.[2] She teaches the player the mechanics of the game, encouraging them to show mercy to enemies rather than attack them.[2] Giving the player a phone with which to contact her, she leaves the player on their own to figure out the rest of the Ruins, after which they arrive at her house.

While she attempts to take care of the player, they become restless and attempt to leave the Ruins. Having seen several human children die at the hands of Asgore Dreemurr, the king of the Underground, she fears for the player’s safety and confronts them in battle. If the player chooses not to kill her, the battle is «long and arduous» with little indication that the player’s tactics are working until she relents.[2] In fact, she must be spared many times in order to persuade her to allow the player to leave the Ruins. If Toriel is betrayed by killing her after she relents, however, she tells the player that she regrets having tried to raise the player. If the player loads the game after battling Toriel to view an alternate outcome, Flowey appears and mocks the player for their actions, establishing the use of saved games as a plot element in Undertale. If she is killed upon killing 20 randomly-encountered enemies in the Ruins, she remarks that she wasn’t protecting the player from the rest of the Underground, she was protecting the rest of the Underground by attempting to keep the player in the Ruins. Doing this causes the game to go down a darker «no mercy» (often called «Genocide») route for as long as the player continues to kill all of the enemies they encounter.

It is later revealed that Toriel was once Asgore’s wife, and they had a son, Asriel. When Asriel died, she gave up her crown due to her disgust at Asgore’s decision to kill human children for their souls in order to break the «Barrier» keeping the monsters trapped in the Underground.[2]

Near the end of the True Pacifist story route, Toriel arrives at «New Home» (The Underground’s capital) and stops Asgore and the player from fighting. However, Flowey appears and absorbs her soul along with that of all the other monsters in the Underground to gain the form of «Asriel, the God of Hyper-Death». Later on, after the player has fought Asriel, who uses the human souls and his immense power to break the Barrier, Toriel and the other monsters leave the Underground, returning to the Surface. Toriel offers to provide a home for the human; the player can choose to accept or reject this, which leads to a differing post-credits scene depending on the choice. In the non-playable True Pacifist epilogue, we see that Toriel has achieved her dream of founding and teaching a school.

Deltarune[edit]

In Deltarune, Toriel is the adoptive mother of Kris and the biological mother of Asriel. She wakes Kris up at the beginning of Chapter one and drops them off at school. After returning from the Dark World, Kris receives a call from Toriel, who tells them that they are in trouble for being late. However, she seems pleased to hear that Kris has made a friend, and allows Kris to explore the town before coming home. In the game’s second chapter, she can be seen conversing with Alphys about Kris’ well-being during the prologue; in the epilogue, she invites Susie into the Dreemurr household, and suggests that she spend the night after she realises that her car tires had been slashed, unbeknownst to the two of them by Kris, before all three of them are consumed by what is implied to be a Dark Fountain that Kris opens. It is implied in the game that Toriel works as a teacher for a younger class at Kris’ school.

Development[edit]

Toriel was initially envisioned by the game’s creator, Toby Fox, as a «tutorial person that can’t stand to see you leave».[3] She was later incorporated as the latter boss of the two bosses (the former being Napstablook) of the game’s demo, which was used to promote its successful Kickstarter campaign.

Merchandise[edit]

An official Toriel plush was released by Fangamer. The plush contains a white heart soul inside, which can only be found if the plush is cut apart. This detail reflects her death scene in Undertale, and was described by Kotaku as «weirdly unsettling».[4] A figure of Toriel was also released by Fangamer as part of a set.[5]

Reception[edit]

Jess Joho of Kill Screen called the character «relying on the inhumanly selfless portrait of motherhood», but doing so with a purpose, praising the boss encounter with her as respecting the player’s ability to think through a problem, as well as their basic instincts as a human being.[2] She stated that the game holds up a mirror to «patriarchal» game design that encourages players to impatiently «sacrifice their own mother and humanity» rather than engaging with the enemy on a «human level».[2]

Nathan Grayson of Kotaku stated that while he killed Toriel during his playthrough, his encounter with her made him cry due to her friendliness and relatability as a character.[6] He also praised the game for remembering this on his next playthrough.[7] Jack de Quidt of Rock, Paper, Shotgun called the tutorial sequence featuring her «beautifully paced» and praised the character, saying «Toriel’s all right»,[8] while Richard Cobbett of the same site called her sprite animations «understated but effective».[9]

Julie Muncy of Kill Screen criticized the encounter with Toriel as unintuitive, saying that she lost the ability to trust the game after being seemingly forced to kill Toriel, which forced her onto the game’s «Neutral» route.[10]

Tauriel is a fictional character from Peter Jackson’s feature film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The character does not appear in the original book, but was created by Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh as an expansion of material adapted from the book. She appears in the second and third films in that trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.[1]

She is a Woodland Elf whose name has been translated as «Daughter of the forest», and is the head of the Mirkwood Elven guard. She is played by Canadian actress Evangeline Lilly, who was nominated for several awards for her performance in The Desolation of Smaug, with some of the stunt work performed by Australian stuntwoman Ingrid Kleinig.

Appearances[edit]

The character of Tauriel was created for the films, having no equivalent character in the original novel. She first appears in the second film of the trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug, released December 13, 2013.[1] Prior to the decision to have three films instead of two,[2] Tauriel was described as having a more substantial role in what was then the final film, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which had been planned for release in 2013,[3] but was finalized as the third part of the trilogy, which was released in December 2014.

In The Desolation of Smaug, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, and thirteen dwarves, while traveling to Lonely Mountain, pass through the black forest of Mirkwood, where they are attacked and captured by giant spiders. The spiders are then attacked by the Wood Elves, led by Legolas and Tauriel. Tauriel in particular saves Kíli by killing two spiders that attacked him, but the Elves subsequently take the dwarves as prisoners for trespassing on their land.

It is later mentioned that Tauriel is a talented warrior and was therefore made leader of the Mirkwood border guards. Legolas, the son of Mirkwood’s Elven king Thranduil, is indicated to be attracted to her, but as she is a lowly Silvan Elf, she does not believe herself worthy of him. Thranduil, in fact, makes it clear that he does not consider her to be a suitable match for his son and warns her not to give Legolas false hope.

During the dwarves’ imprisonment, Tauriel forms a romantic bond with Kíli. When the dwarves escape with Bilbo’s help, the pursuing Elves are attacked by orcs, during which Tauriel again uses her fighting skills to save Kíli, though Kíli is struck in the leg with an orc’s arrow, which Tauriel later learns from a captured orc is a Morgul-cursed weapon that will slowly kill him. Just before Thranduil seals off his kingdom upon learning that an evil entity has returned and is amassing great power in the south, Tauriel goes after the dwarves. Legolas follows, and initially tries to convince her to return, but when Tauriel refuses, saying that the Elves are part of Middle-earth and will be drawn into this inevitable war, Legolas joins her pursuit.

After acquiring provisions at Esgaroth, the dwarves leave for the Lonely Mountain. Kíli, Fili, Bofur and Óin stay behind, with Kíli suffering from the effects of the poison. By the time Tauriel and Legolas reach Esgaroth, the dwarves are being attacked by orcs. They repel the invaders, and Tauriel uses her knowledge of herbs and elvish medicine to heal Kíli’s wound, saving his life once again.

In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, during Smaug’s attack on Esgaroth, Tauriel and the dwarves facilitate the evacuation of Bard’s family, though Bain leaves their company and helps Bard kill Smaug. The following morning, as the dwarves set out for Erebor to rejoin their company, Kíli asks Tauriel to come with them, but her duties with Legolas forces them to part. When a messenger from Thranduil arrives to announce her banishment from the Mirkwood Realm for disobeying his orders, she joins Legolas in investigating the old fortress Gundabad, where they witness the departure of an army led by Bolg to join the forces of his father Azog marching against Erebor.

Hurrying towards the mountain, the two Elves arrive in the thick of the Battle of the Five Armies. When Tauriel witnesses Thranduil attempting to leave the battlefield, with the intent of sparing his people further bloodshed, she accuses him of turning away and abandoning the dwarves to be slaughtered. Thranduil states that the dwarves are fated to die, as they are mortal and thus the timing of their demise does not matter. Tauriel then nocks an arrow; pointing it at Thranduil as she queries him whether he believes his life is more valuable than those of dwarves, and proclaims that he is devoid of love. Thranduil, dismissing the notion that Tauriel’s regard for Kíli is genuine love, destroys her bow and threatens her life. However, he backs down when his son Legolas intervenes saying, «If you harm her, you will have to kill me.» Learning that Kíli had joined Thorin’s pursuit of Azog, she and Legolas hurry to Azog’s command post, the Ravenhill, to aid the dwarves.

Running to find Kíli, Tauriel is intercepted and brought to her knees by Bolg. Before the Orc can strike the fatal blow, however, Kíli intervenes on her behalf, and Bolg kills him instead. In retaliation, Tauriel tackles Bolg, throwing him and herself off a ruined platform onto the rocks beneath, thus leading to Bolg’s final battle with Legolas, who kills Bolg. Following the resolution of the battle, Thranduil finds Tauriel weeping over Kíli’s body, acknowledging that her feelings for the young dwarf were indeed genuine.

Conception and casting[edit]

In 1937 J. R. R. Tolkien published the fantasy novel The Hobbit, whose plot centres on a group consisting of the titular Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarves, who go in search of a treasure guarded by the dragon, Smaug. During the course of their travels, they enter the black forest of Mirkwood, where they find themselves in the dungeons of the Silvan Elves. During the climactic Battle of Five Armies at the end of the story, the dwarves, men and elves band together to fight an army of goblins and Wargs.[4]

Actress Evangeline Lilly, who plays Tauriel, had been a fan of Tolkien since she was 13.[5]

Although the character Tauriel does not appear in this story, she was created to be the head of the Elven guard by Peter Jackson and his writing partners Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh[1][3] (who is also Jackson’s wife and producing partner) in order to expand the world of the elves of Mirkwood Forest, and to bring another woman to the cast, which is otherwise dominated by men.[1][6] The character Tauriel is a Silvan Elf, which means she is of a much lower order than the elves that had previously been seen in The Lord of the Rings film series, and holds a lower social status than characters like Arwen, Galadriel, Elrond, and Legolas.[1] A Woodland Elf, her name has been translated as «Forest Daughter.»[7][8][9]

In June 2011 Peter Jackson announced that actress Evangeline Lilly, who was known for her portrayal of Kate Austen in the ABC television drama Lost, was cast in the role.[10] Lilly, who had been a fan of Tolkien’s books since she was 13,[5] expressed some trepidation at the reaction of Tolkien purists to a character that does not appear in Tolkien’s written works, but stated that creating the character for the adaptation was justified: «I believe she is authentic, because Tolkien refers to The Woodland Elves, he just doesn’t talk about who they are specifically… [Peter and Fran] know that world so well. They’re not going to create a character that is not true to Tolkien’s world.»[7] Nonetheless, following the June 12, 2013 release of the first trailer for the film, some fans expressed dissatisfaction with the creation of a character that did not originate in the source material.[11][12]

As head of the Elven guard, Lilly says of Tauriel, «She’s slightly reckless and totally ruthless and doesn’t hesitate to kill.» Lilly also describes Tauriel as a nonconformist,[1] explaining that as a result of her relative youth among Elves, she is brash and impulsive,[13] tending to rebel against the established social order of the Elves.[1] Lilly explains, «She’s only 600 years old, she’s just a baby. So she’s a bit more impulsive, and she’s a bit more immature. I think she’s more easily romanticized by a lot of things.»[13] Alluding to Tauriel’s pursuit of the dwarves in The Desolation of Smaug after Thranduil closes his kingdom’s borders and forbids any interference on the part of Elves in outside affairs, and her refusal to fight alongside him in The Battle of the Five Armies, Lilly explains, «In a very out of character move for an elf, she’s broken ranks and disobeyed authority. That’s driven from her own conviction about what is right and what is wrong. She feels so much at odds with Thranduil, that she feels the need to defy him. I think that any defiant role that boxes authority is an easy fit for me, because in life I’m a little bit like that.»[14]

However, Tauriel also has a «softer side», and her character arc includes a love story. Though she and Legolas first met as children, and their relationship is significant,[1] her romantic arc is not with him,[7][10] as she develops a mutual attraction to the dwarf Kíli. Legolas’ father, the Elven king Thranduil, is fond of Tauriel, and «sees something very special in her»,[1] though she understands that Thranduil would not approve of her pairing with his son, which Thranduil confirms in The Desolation of Smaug when he tells her not to give Legolas false hope of such a relationship. Lilly accepted the role under the condition that her role in The Hobbit would not include a love triangle. When she was called back into production for reshoots following the decision to split the story into three films instead of two, she was told that such a plot device would indeed be added to the story.[15][16]

Filming of Tauriel’s scenes began in September 2011 in New Zealand,[7] and was expected to last a year.[5] Lilly stated that she enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the set, and the familiar experience of filming with a male-dominated cast, which was reminiscent of her work on Lost and The Hurt Locker.[17] Lilly employed a language coach in order to effect the Elvish language.[7][13]

In addition to the red wig she wore to effect Tauriel’s knee-length red hair, Lilly, when given a choice of wearing small, medium or large prosthetic ears, chose the large ones, which are three times the size of the prosthetics Orlando Bloom wore as Legolas, though Lilly believed that the length of her hair would distract attention from the ears. In terms of costuming, unlike previous female Elves who were noblewomen that wore complex formal gowns, Tauriel is a border guard and soldier, and therefore wears more pragmatic Elven military garb.[6][13] The character is proficient in a variety of weapons, but mainly wields a bow and two daggers,[3][13] weapons that are also used by the character Legolas, who also appears with her in The Hobbit films.

Lilly employed a stunt coach for action scenes.[7] She noted that the experience of having had her first child in May 2011 made aspects of filming the fighting scenes more strenuous than expected, commenting, «Recovering from labor is like recovering from a full-body injury, and I didn’t realize to what extent that was true until I started training for elf fighting. My hips don’t move like they used to move, my back doesn’t move like it used to move, my shoulders are sore every day. But it’s fun.»[17] Although Lilly requested to do the character’s wirework herself, on account of her experience doing her own stunts on Lost, that work was performed by Lilly’s stunt double,[13] Australian stuntwoman Ingrid Kleinig.[18]

Merchandising[edit]

Tauriel is part of Lego set No. 79001 titled Escape from Mirkwood Spiders, together with minifigures of Legolas and the Dwarves Fíli and Kíli, and set No. 79016 titled Attack on Lake-Town, with minifigures of Bard, Bain, and two Hunter Orcs.[19]

Reception and cultural impact[edit]

For her performance as Tauriel, Evangeline Lilly was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress,[20] the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress in an Action Movie,[21] the Empire Award for Best Supporting Actress,[22] and the 2014 Kids’ Choice Awards.[23]

In an article written in The Huffington Post, Clarence Haynes compared Tauriel to Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, describing both of them as archetypical embodiments of the ancient Greek goddess Artemis.[24] Michael O’Sullivan of The Washington Post, in his review of The Desolation of Smaug, welcomed Tauriel’s addition to the set of characters and called her «a sort of pointy-eared Lara Croft».[25]

Shaun Gunner, Chairman of the Tolkien Society, praised the inclusion of Tauriel as «the biggest gem and missed opportunity of this film» stating that she provides «a strong and warm voice in the story» but that the writers «were wrong to cheapen the character by putting her in a love-triangle».[26] Fan reaction to Tauriel’s appearance in The Hobbit films, and to other changes made by Jackson in adapting Tolkien’s book for the screen, were parodied in the song and video «Who the ‘ell is Tauriel?» by The Esgaroth Three.[27][28]

In Mad magazine’s parody of The Desolation of Smaug, writer Desmond Devlin emphasized the similarity of the setting in which actress Evangeline Lilly’s character was placed with that of her character on Lost, with her statement, «I can’t believe I’m back in another weird forest, fighting random threats and making random alliances on a vague and poorly-defined mission. I thought I was done with that stuff when they cancelled Lost[29] Devlin, who had begun a running joke of alluding to Legolas (called Legolamb in the parody) being effeminate in the magazine’s parodies of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy,[30][31] also used Tauriel to return to that gag, as well as referencing Tauriel’s lack of canonicity.[29]

Характеристики

Undertale

Игрок встречает Ториэль вскоре после того, как попадает в Подземелье, где она рассматривается как материнская фигура, желающая защитить игрока от опасностей. Она учит игрока механике игры, побуждая его проявлять милосердие к врагам, а не атаковать их. Дав игроку телефон, по которому можно связаться с ней, она оставляет игрока наедине с остальными Руинами, после чего они прибывают в ее дом.

Пока она пытается позаботиться об игроке, они начинают беспокоиться и пытаются покинуть Руины. Видя, как несколько человеческих детей умирают от рук короля монстров Асгора, она опасается за безопасность игрока и противостоит им в битве. Если игрок решает не убивать ее, битва будет «долгой и трудной» с небольшим указанием на то, что тактика игрока работает, пока она не сдастся. Фактически, ее нужно пощадить много раз, чтобы убедить ее позволить игроку покинуть Руины. Однако, если Ториэль убита после того, как она сдастся, она говорит игроку, что осознала, что сожалеет о попытке поднять игрока.

Позже выясняется, что Ториэль когда-то была женой Асгора, Ториэль Дримурр, и у них был сын, Азриэль Дримурр. Когда Азриэль умер, она отказалась от своей короны из-за разногласий с Асгором, из-за его готовности убивать человеческих детей, чтобы сломать печать, удерживающую монстров под землей.

Ближе к концу пути пацифистов прибывает Ториэль » Новый дом »(Столица монстров) и спасает человека от Асгора. Однако появляется Флауи и поглощает ее душу вместе со всеми другими монстрами в Подземелье, чтобы вернуть свою истинную форму, Азриэля. Позже, после того, как игрок сразится с Азриэлем и сломает барьер, Ториэль и другие монстры покидают Подземелье. Ториэль предлагает предоставить дом человеку; игрок может принять или отклонить это. В неигровом пацифистском эпилоге мы видим, что Ториэль осуществила свою мечту об основании и преподавании школы.

Дельтарун

В Дельтарун Ториэль — приемная мать Крис и биологическая мать Азриэля. Она будит Крис в начале игры и бросает их в школу. После возвращения из Темного мира Крис получает звонок от Ториэль, которая сообщает им, что у них проблемы из-за опоздания. Тем не менее, она, кажется, рада услышать, что Крис нашла друга, и позволяет Крису исследовать город, прежде чем вернуться домой. Позже она появляется, когда Крис возвращается домой. В игре намекается, что Ториэль работает учителем младшего класса в школе Криса.

Развитие

Создатель игры, Тоби Фокс, изначально задумывал Ториэль как «обучающего человека, которому не терпится увидеть, как вы уходите». Позже она была включена в качестве финального босса демоверсии игры, которая использовалась для продвижения ее успешной кампании Kickstarter.

Товары

Официальный Ториэль плюшевый был выпущен Фангамером. Внутри плюша находится белая сердечная душа, которую можно найти, только если разрезать плюш. Эта деталь отражает сцену ее смерти в Undertale и была описана Котаку как «странно тревожащая». Фигура Ториэль также была выпущена Фангамером как часть набора.

Reception

Джесс Джохо из Kill Screen назвал персонажа «, опираясь на бесчеловечно самоотверженный портрет материнство », но делают это с определенной целью, хваля босса, столкнувшегося с ней, за то, что он уважает способность игрока обдумывать проблему, а также его основные человеческие инстинкты. Она заявила, что игра является отражением «патриархального» игрового дизайна, который побуждает игроков нетерпеливо «жертвовать собственной матерью и человечностью», а не вступать в бой с врагом на «человеческом уровне».

Натан Грейсон из Котаку заявил, что, хотя он убил Ториэль во время своего прохождения, его встреча с ней заставила его плакать из-за ее дружелюбия и относительности как персонажа. Он также похвалил игру за то, что она запомнила это при следующем прохождении. Джек де Квидт из Камень, бумага, дробовик назвал обучающую последовательность с ее участием «красиво шагающей» и похвалил персонажа, сказав: «Ториэль в порядке», а Ричард Коббетт с того же сайта назвал ее анимацию спрайта недооцененной но эффективно ».

Джули Манси из Kill Screen раскритиковала встречу с Ториэль как неинтуитивную, заявив, что она потеряла способность доверять игре после того, как, казалось бы, была вынуждена убить Ториэль, что вынудило ее перейти на« нейтральный »игры. route.
