Bio: Alphys was hired as the royal scientist for the Underground a long time after the previous one died due to mysterious circumstances... She was assigned the task of finding out what makes human's souls last for so long, and fusing it with monster's. After using some of the old scientist's schematics, she made a device and used it to find out what was inside of a human soul and made the hypothesis that a mysterious element called determination made it possible for their soul to stay intact after death.
Elated and excited to get to work, Alphys took in the bodies of near-dead monsters, and fused them with determination... the results of the experiment were horrific, however, resulting in terrifying amalgamations of all the test subjects. They bonded together and became hostile... Alphys could not let them be found. She'd be executed, or at the very least, hated by everyone. She nurtured for the amalgamates and just ignored all the mail from the families and from Asgore... other than, of course, the one where Asgore found a tea cup in the shape of Alphys. She never let anyone find out about the amalgamates and lived with the ever-increasing guilt.
After the experiment was called off, she didn't have much to do and did two things: watched hundreds of hours of anime, and built her only successful creation that brought anyone joy; Mettaton. By combining the soul of Napstablook's cousin and a metal body, Alphys constructed Mettaton; a dazzling game show host and resort owner, with every product in the underground having to do with him in some shape or form. This was her magnum opus, but it soon seemed to backfire as Mettaton got more and more popular, and slowly began to stop talking to her unless she made the call at the right time. This made Alphys a bit of a recluse, and she felt like the garbage dump was where she belonged... she was hanging there one day, when she met the love of her life. Undyne.
"Undyne; the strongest fish in the world! What a character!" Alphys thought to herself quite often. She was never really able to muster up the courage to tell Undyne of her feelings. She would always shy away and try to change the subject any time she'd ask because she was afraid that Undyne would think that she's weird.
One day, out of the ruins came a human. Alphys expected this, actually... she had cameras set up in every town and in every bush and tree and cave so that she could spy on Frisk. She grew attached and felt like she wouldn't be able to kill Frisk, not because of her wimpy arms or anything, but because of her feelings. And her wimpy arms. She instead planned out something elaborate, where Mettaton would seemingly trap Frisk, but then Alphys would swoop in and save the day! But after the final step in her plan, she felt remorse over her deception. She had one last goodbye with Frisk, and ran back to her lab, locking it all the way up and disabling any forms of communication.
After a while, though, Frisk came back with a love letter from Undyne and Alphys mistook it for Frisk's letter, going on a date with him instead. They did a quick roleplay in the garbage dump and Alphys began to lose control as she sometimes does, and unfortunately got caught by Undyne. After a moment of awkwardness, Alphys freaked out a little bit again while telling Undyne of her love. Undyne, lovingly, threw her through a hoop and into a trash can and made her run a bunch of laps with Papyrus. She left early, though, and went back to the lab to confront her fears, and with the help of Frisk, released the Amalgamates and proceeded to go above ground. Undyne and Alphys lived together from that point, and now, knowing that Frisk is lost, is determined to do whatever it takes to see her friend again!
Appearance: Alphys is a short, plump yellow lizard with a constant slouch and insecure stance. She wears a lab coat and glasses, and on special occasions, a polka-dot dress.
