Temmie, Chapter 2

Temmie (JP: テミー) (/ˈtɛ.miː/) is a returning character in Deltarune. She is one of Kris's classmates in Hometown's school, where she sits to the right of Berdly and in front of Monster Kid. She represents Deltarune's main artist and animator, Temmie Chang.

Profile

Appearance

Temmie has white fur, black hair, floppy ears, short limbs, and a tail. She wears a blue shirt and black baseball cap. Her arms can freely extend from the sides of her body.

Personality

Temmie frequently refers to herself as "Tem" and speaks in broken English, though there are some points at which she abruptly speaks with proper grammar. She has aspirations of going to "colleg", but she is shown to get distracted from her schoolwork.

Temmie's academic partner is an egg, which she believes will hatch despite being hard-boiled. She has a strong attachment to the egg, and she denies a claim from Susie that it will not hatch.[2]

Etymology

Temmie is named after Temmie Chang, one of the main artists who worked on the game, who makes a cameo in the game through the character.

Main story

Chapter 1

In Chapter 1, Temmie is present in Alphys's classroom. While Kris is searching for a partner for their group project, Temmie claims to already have a partner. She reveals "EG", a black-and-white, hard-boiled egg and places it on her desk. Once Susie reveals herself and subsequently leaves the classroom, Temmie shares a low opinion of Susie, saying she is very mean for claiming that the egg will not hatch.[2]

Alternatively, if Temmie is instead spoken to for the first time after Susie leaves, she has different dialogue. Temmie comments that Susie made fun of the way she talks. She disagrees, and claims she will study hard for college.[3]

After school, Temmie can be found in the library. When spoken to, Temmie claims to be studying hard to prepare for college, but is reading a comic featuring "hot demon guys".

Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, Kris finds Temmie working on her project after school in the classroom, where she once again exclaims she will study hard and go to college. She then remarks in uncharacteristically perfect English that Kris cannot fathom what she will accomplish.

If the party has obtained the Egg from the man in the tree room in Cyber City, Temmie places an egg on her desk when talking with her. Interacting with the egg displays how many eggs the party has obtained so far.

Chapter 4

In Chapter 4, Temmie is again seen in Alphys's classroom, having relocated her egg, as well as the Eggs Kris has collected, to Berdly's desk. When talking to Temmie, she expresses a desire to learn how to sing, after which she sings an excerpt of Don't Forget.

Chapter 5

In Chapter 5, Temmie is seen at school before the festival, seemingly excited that she learned something yesterday, being that school is closed on weekends. She is later seen drawing caricatures (her "Original Caricatures", being a drawing of Temmie Chang's online persona) at the festival.

In the Weird Route, Susie and Kris can inspect Temmie's booth in the aftermath of the festival, and are both surprised to learn upon getting a closer look at her sketchbook that Temmie is a talented artist. Susie remarks that Temmie will be going to college soon, suggesting Temmie is in her final year of high school.

Outside of Deltarune

In Undertale, Temmies are a species of monsters that appear as unique enemies in the Waterfall. Most of them reside within the Temmie Village, and one of them serves as a vendor of the Tem Shop.
