#if anyone wasn't already aware I'm english the info boxes using the words 'trousers' and 'mum' probably made that real obvious huh

Time for the Dreemurr siblings cousins! ❤️🐐

(For anyone unfamiliar with my Swap content, see the character sheets for Papyrus & Sans, Undyne & Alphys, Asgore & Toriel, and more about Underswap MH here!)

The thing with Dandelion (Asgore) being Sage’s uncle was explained on his and Toriel’s sheet, but to give a quick reminder: it’s because Toriel, Asgore and Asriel all being alive in Underswap with none of them aging doesn’t make sense to me, and I still want Asriel to have a family bond with both of them. It’s not a perfect middle ground, but it works for me 👍

anyways, the usual additional rambles are under the cut!

Swap Chara's nickname seemed like a fitting way of showing that they are in fact a good merciful child and not Murderous Demon Baby Extraordinare™, but it was mostly chosen because no matter how many times I hear people pronounce Chara as 'care-a' or 'kara', my brain absolutely refuses to stop saying it as 'char-a' with a proper 'ch' sound, and nicknaming them Charity means everyone has to pronounce it like I do :D (side note: keep in mind the nicknames I give the Swap MH cast are not used in-universe, and as such Charity isn't their full name or anything. it also isn't intended to imply anything about their gender, please let this kid be non-binary in peace)

As for Swap Asriel's nickname, I'm not gonna pretend I actually know anything about the meanings of flowers, but while looking up various plants to name him after (in keeping with Dandelion and Orchid) I did find mentions of sage meaning immortality and wisdom.

I draw UT Asriel with slightly heterochromatic eyes and didn't want to give up that detail, so I decided heterochromia just runs in Dandelion's family. Sage's right (viewer's left) eye is a warmer purple while his left (viewer's right) is a cooler purple, matching the positions of Dandelion's orange and blue eyes.

I don't plan on making Sage's parents actual characters, especially since they're dead and aren't any more relevant than UT or Swap MH Monster Kid's parents, but for what it's worth I did look up how royal titles work for a King's nephew and based on that, Sage's mother would've been Dandelion's sister.

Dandelion and Orchid took Sage in after his parents' deaths, his bed being put on the other side of his uncle's room. He got to know MK and later Frisk, considering them both cousins, but wasn't quite as close as they were to each other. He was distraught by their deaths too, though.

Despite not viewing himself as any older than 10, occasionally Sage likes to mention how long he's actually been alive for, just to see people's reactions when a small goat child says he's 113 years old.

I've given myself several headaches figuring out the timeline of all four kiddos, but I think it goes: - Sage was born - 4 years later, Monster Kid was born - 3 years later, Monster Kid was found and adopted by Dandelion and Orchid - 3 years later, Sage's parents died - 2 years later, Frisk fell into the Underground and was adopted (year 201X) - 1 year later, Monster Kid and Frisk died - 100 years later, Charity falls into the Underground (year 211X)

Since everyone has a different interpretation of both Frisk and Chara it's probably worth expanding on Charity's personality a bit more: Like my UT Frisk, Charity is more easily excitable than their UT counterpart and being kind comes a little more naturally to them, and they care deeply for their found family. But overall they're pretty similar to my UT Chara - sassy, fairly intelligent and mature for their age, but can be bitter and self-destructive at times. They lack UT Chara's way with words (i.e. narrator tendencies, that goes to Swap MH Frisk) and don't speak quite as formally. They also love gardening, dogs, anime and bad puns.

oh and I just now realised I should’ve written something about how Charity and Sage interact together, which generally similar to UT Chara and Asriel but with less dying from flowers and angry humans and more playful bickering over who’s actually the older one

Next up will be Napstabot and Happstablook, but I haven’t yet designed Napstabot’s box form so that needs to be done first :D;; but I fully intend to complete all the main character sheets this year!!
