LIMINAL; nightmare Aliza.
Originally Horror’s human, ended up eating a dark apple while alone in Nightmare’s castle when Error decided he wanted that kid’s SOUL for his collection. She ate the apple as a sort of last resort, and with her being a FEAR SOUL to begin with, the dark apple immediately bonded with her, turning her into Liminal.
When the others returned, Error was nowhere to be found, and Liminal was sitting in the middle of the room, looking at her hands. She acted mostly the same, only slightly altered by the apple… (Error is fine by the way, she just flung him back through his glitchy portal thing.)
Horror was very concerned for Liminal, and oddly enough so was Nightmare. She seemed physically ok, other than the obvious goopification. She was just stunned for a little bit, that was all.
Liminal acts shy, normally hiding behind pillars and stuff within the castle. She knows everything that happens in the castle, and will know about intruders even before Nightmare himself. She likes Phantom Papyrus, Nightmare, and Horror the best.
In battle, she’s surprisingly aggressive, using a sort of hit-and run tactic where she teleports around and uses tendril spikes to disorient the opponent. If possible, she’ll even create a giant goop maze for the opponent to get lost in, hence the name Liminal.
She looks like a slightly older version of Aliza, but covered in this blackish violet goop, one eye completely obscured. She sports thin, whiplike tendrils and a traditional nightgown. When yawning, spines will crack out of her shoulders and her mouth goes unnaturally wide. This serves no purpose other than to freak people out and unsettle them. Liminal feeds off of those weird uneasy feelings that you get if you’re alone in an area that should have people, the feeling of being watched, and overall backrooms vibes. When not in the castle, she likes hiding out in the forest in Horrortale. Horrortale Papyrus cannot tell the difference between Liminal and Aliza.
Passive abilities; can hold stuff within her goop like a pocket dimension(once she pulled Ink out of her pocket to everyone’s surprise), the yawning thing, teleportation, and the only one who can sneak up on Killer and Horror. (Not Dust, Cross, or Nightmare though. She can’t sneak up on them.)
Attacks; tendril spikes. (Half the fightbox becomes damaging.) Whiplash. (Her main ‘normal’ attack. Note that while using this attack, she also moves her hands around like she’s from Avatar or something.) Face Your Demons. (Purely meant to jumpscare the opponent; blue ‘bone’ area while different attacks play chicken with the soul sprite. None actually hit the soul but it will spook people into moving out of the way.) and finally…
Labyrinth. This move enlarges the fightbox, and Liminal disappears from view. The player then has to navigate their soul through a whole maze, and some areas have attacks that are hidden until a trigger point.
Note that despite these advantages, Liminal actually has pretty low health and will get hit if you time your strikes right.
