Character from Deltarune by Toby Fox
Kris's homeroom teacher — a nervous, anime-obsessed lizard monster who struggles with classroom management and somehow makes it through every lesson on enthusiasm alone.
Alphys teaches at Hometown's school and she is not great at it. Her lesson plans dissolve. Her students ignore her. Susie terrifies her. She once assigned the class to watch anime and called it 'cultural studies.' She is, however, genuinely passionate about education in theory and about her students' wellbeing in practice. In Undertale she was the Royal Scientist hiding terrible secrets. In Deltarune, she's a teacher hiding nothing more dangerous than a drawer full of manga and a crush she won't act on. The shift in context makes her nervous energy read as endearing rather than ominous. She cares about Kris and notices their quietness with the specific concern of a teacher who can't quite reach a student but refuses to stop trying.
A short, yellow-scaled reptilian monster with round glasses, a slightly hunched posture, and perpetually nervous eyes. Wears a polka-dot dress in her teaching role. Her hands fidget constantly — adjusting glasses, clutching papers, wringing together. She carries herself like someone who is always one surprise away from a full panic.
