Innkeeper

From Undertale Wiki

What? No, you can't get a second key!

Innkeeper

The innkeeper[note 1] is a minor character in Undertale, residing behind Snowed Inn's counter. She is QC's sister and the mother of the child behind the counter.

Profile

Appearance

The innkeeper is a light pink, lapine monster with rosy cheeks. She wears a yellow outfit with blue accents.

Personality

The innkeeper is a kind and accommodating monster. She is willing to offer her services for free if patrons do not have enough money, and returns spent money if they do not stay for the full night.

Main story

Neutral Route

The Innkeeper charges 80G to rent a room for the night, although if the protagonist chooses to rent one, they only sleep upstairs for about two minutes. If the protagonist rents a room and rapidly attempts to talk to the innkeeper as the screen fades to black, they can hear her deny their request for a second room key.

The innkeeper treats the protagonist differently depending on how much money they have on their first attempt to rent a room. If the protagonist is able to afford a room on their initial visit and pays for one, they are refunded their gold after their stay; for subsequent visits, they must have the required funds in order to stay again and get refunded again. If the protagonist is not able to afford a room on their initial visit and attempts to pay for one, the innkeeper takes pity on them and allows them to stay for free for that visit and for all subsequent visits.

True Pacifist Route

During the True Pacifist Route epilogue, the innkeeper begins the process of shutting down the inn as the monsters prepare to make their way towards the surface world. She assures the protagonist that there is bound to be a place for them to stay there.

Outside of Undertale

In Deltarune, Innkeeper appears in Chapter 5 on a stand next to her sister QC during the festival.

Trivia

  • The Japanese script implies that the innkeeper is QC's older sister, using the word ねえさん (neesan, "older sister").
