Still, in some situations, waiting, rather than acting, can be ineffective, and patience can be abused. The description of “You waited, still, for this opportunity, then dethroned 'Ball” with a sharp attack' suggests cyan SOULs are not passive, or at least not purely so. In the Snowdin ball game, the color light blue (or “cyan”, in common Undertale parlance) is associated with patience.
In fact, following a virtue to the letter all the time may not actually benefit the person, and may even irritate others.Īfter all, according to famed Greek philosopher Aristotle, vice (the opposite of virtue) results from both an insufficiency and excess of virtue. However, as covered in a previous post (see “The Green SOUL Could be a Meaniehead”, at bottom) different people have different definitions of what entails kindness. (The Red SOUL’s trait is unclear.) These traits, rather than being personality traits, seem to correspond with various virtues, such as patience and bravery.Īs an example, if green is associated with kindness, logically, someone with a green SOUL would be characterized by kindness. Six out of the seven SOUL colors featured in Undertale are associated with specific traits. Made with consulting from Flyingwerekitty, Cinnamonazzy, and Kindled-blue-soul.
