i’m so fucking high and all i can think of are benign Dess headcanons: 1) Whittles 2) Plays Bass in Asriel’s Band 3) Wanted to play Rugby but her mom vetoed in. 4) Likes Weed 5) Used to speed run but was bad at it. 6) Tops 7) Got drunk one night and broke a car mirror off as a dare without realizing it was her mom’s car. 8) Demigirl
tfw your Dad makes you babysit your little sister’s playdate with Mr. Dreemurr’s kids.
Anyway, Chara fell in 201X and Noelle is a teen in 202X. So I’m choosing to believe that the timelines match up enough for known BFFs Asgore and Rudy to have forced their kids to hangout in both realities pff
[ID: An Illustration of the Under tale characters Chara, Asriel, Noelle, and Dess having a playdate in the Dreemurrs’ home.
1: The floor is light brown wood boards. There is paper with childish drawings on strewn across the floor, along with brightly coloured crayons, a few sissors with black handles, and a few glue sticks. There are also few golden cushions around the edge.
On the far left is Dess. She is drawn as an older teen, she has brown antlers and fur with a darker brown bob and a bright red nose. She is sitting relaxed, hand slightly behind her with a black crayon loosly held in it. Her eyes are closed and she is smiling open mouthed. She is wearing a white hoodie with a light blue snowflake marking on the sleeve. Her black dress has a red and green pattern on it.
Dess is facing towards Asriel who is sitting in the middle right of the image. Asriel is sitting down bent over a crude drawing resembling his Hyper Death form. His eyes are closed and he is smiling widely, mouth open. He is holding a blue crayon in his right hand and he is wearing his golden heart locket.
Behind them, in the middle of the image, Chara is leaning towards Noelle who is behind Asriel. Chara is holding a pair of open sissors and pointing them towards Noelle’s body. Chara’s face is obscured by a magic blast of snow which is coming from Noelle hands. Noelle has her hands thrown in front of her and her eyes are tight shut in suprise. Noelle is leaned backwards like she has just started to trip backwards. She is wearing her customary outfit of red and green checkered jumper and black skirt. However, she also has a white cloak similar to her Dark world robe

She knows she’s probably not going to find anything, constantly going on the computer to find any trace of her sister. The first couple of nights of searching were just a frantic, crying, mess of a search. But now a days, it’s just a quiet, dull, timid search that she performs night after night, and after so many of these nights she expects to find nothing.
So why does she do it? Maybe it’s that lingering hope that one day, one search will come up with something, anything, that can give any info of where her sister is now. Or maybe she just got so used to the monotonous searching that if she stops, she’ll loss a part of herself, whatever that part might be.
Whatever that reason is, she knows one thing for sure. She knows that this isn’t the last time that she’ll be on this computer searching for her lost sister. For better…
I’d like to preface this with stating that this is just a theory, and that I may very well be wrong. But hey I might be right too and it’d be cool to do a read this hard so here we go.
During chapter 2 when Kris walks with Noelle, Noelle starts talking with Kris about their past, and about how Kris, Asriel, Noelle and her sister “Dess”, would all hang out, go explore in the woods and have fun together. “Dess” is probably short for December, given both the naming scheme of Noelle’s family, as well as the calendar in Noelle’s castle room only having pages for the last month of the year. Notably, Noelle only ever refers to Dess in past tense during the whole chapter.
Later on, when Berdly details his backstory, the accompanying visual shows that, unlike previous rounds where Noelle is crushing Berdly, she instead froze up when the Spelling Bee asked her to spell out “DECEMBER.” It’s possible that she went into traumatic shock when asked to spell out the name of her sister.
It’s pretty heavily implied that Dess is dead, and that Noelle was deeply scarred by the loss.
But how did Dess die? One possible answer is that she was ran over in a car accident. Other than being a dark spin on how deers are infamous for being common victims of roadkills, Noelle notably tenses up and is terrified of crossing the road when Kris walks with her.
This is admittedly minor, but also, when Queen suggests that Noelle would “love running into these cars” ‘Totally-Not-Noelle’ says that she probably wouldn’t. This could just be Noelle simply not being insane on the road, but evidently she doesn’t seem to like cars very much.
But worst of all, the potential driver of said fatal collision might be someone we know. Yes, this post is suggesting that Kris’ sad-dad ASGORE could have been the driver that accidentally hit and killed Dess on the road, and that this incident not only was what caused Asgore to be removed as the Chief of Police, but might’ve also caused the rift between him and Toriel that lead to their divorce.
“Removed” implies that someone with a higher authority than the Chief of Police stepped in to strip Asgore of the title. That would be the mayor of Hometown. The Mayor of Hometown just so happens to be Kris’ neighbor and Noelle and Dess’ mother. The loss of her daughter due to a crime would explain why Noelle’s mother has been a bit tough on Noelle, as Rudy puts it.
Furthermore, if you go to the Flower King shop and inspect Asgore’s truck, it’ll say this:
Now granted, this could just be because he’s currently broke and can’t afford gas, but it’s clear that his truck has gone unused for a while. He also doesn’t use his truck to drive to Sans’ store and only sends flowers to Rudy instead of visiting him himself, despite having all the freetime in the world.
As an added detail, the first thing that Undyne, the new Chief of Police, says (read: screams) to Kris when Kris visits her at the Police Station is this:
