Name: Ceroba Ketsukane

Age: 48 years old

Type: Monster

Appearance:

Ceroba is a very tall woman, 212 centimeters tall, with an athletic build, red eyes and long, golden-red hair.

Information:

Ceroba was the wife of the late Chujin Ketsukane and the mother of Kanako Ketsukane, who is currently in the laboratory. She previously made an attempt on Clover's soul in order to save her daughter and continue her studies in order to continue Chujin's legacy. When she was defeated, she was already ready to be killed. Clover saw her sin and almost died in battle with her. However, what Ceroba couldn't expect was that Clover would spare her life. And he didn’t just spare. Clover simply silently walked up and hugged her, thereby understanding her actions and that he did not hold a grudge against her.

When the staging of Clover's death was successful, it was time to choose who would be the best place for Clover to hide. After what happened, Ceroba did not have the best opinion of herself. She took advantage of Clover's trust, deceived her friends, attacked Starlo and Martlet, and tried to kill Clover. After all this, Ceroba was sure that Clover would be better off with others. However, the facts said otherwise. Of all the available options, Ceroba was the least suspected of hiding a human, she has a secret room at home, and she has experience in dealing with children. Although she was against it at first, in the end she could not deny all the prevailing facts.

From that very moment, Ceroba began to look after Clover. She cooked his food, took care of his clothes and sewed some of his clothes herself, sometimes taught Clover self-defense and began to educate him. She taught him to read, write, taught him mathematics as much as she knew, so she also had to study a little algebra, geometry, etc. She took on this responsibility with full responsibility, not easily because she felt guilty, but also because she was grateful to Clover for his trust and considered him her friend. However, something began to change in her attitude towards him.

So days, weeks, months passed. Two years later, Ceroba's behavior began to show its first strangeness: She began to monitor Clover's activities more and more often. She became increasingly irritated when he stayed out for walks and returned home late, or when he left the Dunes. She grew increasingly angry when Clover did something "reckless," in her opinion, and so on. Clover reacted equally irritably to her overprotectiveness, and they would occasionally quarrel. This continued over and over again until that very day came.

Four years after Clover entered the Underground, he, playing the role of a “noble bandit,” accidentally crossed paths with Captain Undyne of the Royal Guard. Although Undyne did not know that there was a human under the mask, she still tried to catch him as a troublemaker. Ultimately, Clover managed to escape from Undyne into the Dunes.

When Ceroba found out about this, she fell into an indescribable rage; she gave Clover such a scandal as they had never had before. She began accusing Clover of being reckless, of not taking the fact that he could get caught at all seriously, etc. After this incident, Clover and Ceroba did not speak for a very long time. Clover still lived in Ceroba's house, and she, in turn, continued to cook his food and take care of his things, but not only did they not talk, they tried not to see eye to eye. Their friends began to notice this behavior on their part. Starlo and Martlet noticed that Clover and Ceroba were depressed, they did not want to talk about anything if it concerned their condition, they hardly reacted to them, etc.

Eventually, when they had both calmed down and could no longer endure the oppressive silence, they spoke to each other for the first time.

During the conversation, Ceroba admitted that even she did not immediately notice the changes in her character. At first, she really considered Clover her friend, but over time this concept began to blur very much, every day she got more and more used to Clover and learned much more about him. Then she began to become attached to him. She was really interested in what Clover was interested in, she was pleased when Clover liked her food or gifts, felt joy when Clover succeeded in something, and even felt proud when Clover showed success in learning. She hadn't felt these feelings for a very long time. She didn't notice how very attached she became to Clover and how she began to worry very much about him.

She admitted that she was very afraid that “One random day, Clover will go for a walk, as usual, and will never return.”

The thought made her feel insanely paranoid and terrified. She was afraid of losing Clover the same way she once lost Kanako. Every time he left home, these thoughts awakened in her and she began to worry about Clover almost every minute.

She admitted she was deeply hurt and ashamed by what she said on the day of their argument.

Clover also admitted that every day spent in this house with Ceroba made his life better. He was grateful for her efforts in raising him, for the joyful and carefree way she spent time with him. She joked with him, was happy for him, and praised him. All of this evoked in Clover the feelings he had been deprived of on the Surface. Ceroba finally made Clover feel like a child and provided him with a pleasant childhood. He became deeply attached to Ceroba, and deep down, he understood why Ceroba had been angry with him before.

He confessed to her that he barely remembered his real mother's face, and whenever he tried to remember her, Ceroba's image appeared in his mind.

From that day on, Ceroba officially adopted Clover and promised him she would no longer restrict him and would do everything possible to make Clover happy. Clover, in turn, promised her he would no longer commit reckless acts and that, as a son, he would do everything possible to make her proud.

Some time later, Ceroba, on Clover's recommendation, opened her own handicrafts shop and resumed working out to overcome her alcoholism. She succeeded, though she did indulge in drinking on holidays and didn't hold back.

She still waits and hopes that Kanako will recover and finally return home so Kanako can meet her new brother and that they can live as a happy family.

my friend is a huge yellow fan and got me into the game (and honestly anything Toby Fox) they also have a hobby of plush making with loving the art of puppetry. their skills got good enough where they wanted to make a full body puppet of our favorite fox. they were also very VERY kind in letting me have her too (gave them one of my commissioned puppets in exchange, didn’t want to just take one of there best works, wanted a fair trade!)

shes about 3ft tall like 90% stuffing, more big plush than puppet but there is a zipper in the back of her outfit that gives access to the arm hole for mouth flapping and bringing her to life!

every detail in her character is accounted for. The bell has a squeaker in it too’

thought I should share this be its just such amazing wor! I love it and will cherish my big roba forever :3!
