kriselle

Kriselle is the ship between Kris Dreemur and Noelle Holiday from Deltarune. They are my favorite ship in the entire game. Out of all my utdr ships none of them can trump the beautiful thing they are!!!

As an example, I like spamtenna but the way I talk about them is so unserious and I make jokes about their relationship constantly, but I take these two extemely seriously!!!

They're childhood best friends, who gravitated apart, but if you take the 'weird route'/snowgrave they start to become really... unhealthy.

You, the Player, are controlling Kris to hurt Noelle more and more, like putting on the Thorn Ring. This ring makes Noelle stronger, but eats at her mental health and makes her obsessed with becoming stronger.

In a cutscene, Kris rips You out of their body, then goes to confront Noelle about what happened in the Snowgrave route, we escape and enter their body again, forcing Noelle to wear the ring again.

It's actually revealed that Kris spoke to her before everything, without You, and apologized and said it was all a prank. Eeee...

But, also, fun fact: if you take too long to enter Kris' body and just stay in the area, Kris will grab Noelle's hand and run out the room with her. BRUH I'M GONNA DIE

After putting the Thorn Ring on her, Kris goes into the bathroom, rips You out again, throws You into a trashcan, and repeatedly kicks it. jfc... WE RUINING THE NBLW YURI.

Their relationship has so many themes/symbolism around it, it is soo crazy. Major examples include Angel/Devil, roses, and winter/christmas.

The thorn ring itself is similar to a roses, but when you force it onto Noelle an animation plays where a rose loses it's petals. It represents the loss of her innocence which is VERY INSANE..?

Noelle's dark world outfit looks like an angels, and it's insinuated that in the Snowgrave route Kris is the opposite, a devil.Their continued manipulation of her causes to fall into the role of a fallen angel.

Initially, Noelle is very sensitive to the violence in the Dark world, but if you continue down the route, she becomes numb to it. Her animations become disinterested, as she gets used to the pain.

Deltarune chapter 5 spoilers below.

I'm gonna be frank, when I caught wind that they both 'die' together in chp 5 I actually got up and cheered. Long gone are the days of deltarune's toxic non mlm ship drought. The spamtenna takeover was making everyone lose their roots! *(joking)

I tell you, when I actually watched the scene (didn't even finish the chapter, just ran) I was so heartbroken and so excited about it. Kriselle is that good hurt.

Noelle taking the wheel in the relationship and instead forcing Kris to do something extremely dangerous is interesting, now that we've sanded her down into a shell of her former self...

What do I think happens after this? IDK. But for all the years that I've shipped Kriselle, this is the climax of their relationship. I truly wonder what their ending will be.
