Golden Flowers

Golden Flowers are a very common symbol in Undertale and are closely related to Frisk, Alphys, Chara, Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel Dreemurr.

History Golden Flowers play a strong part in Undertale. During a Neutral or Pacifist playthrough the player will go through Asgore's Home and trigger "fights" with early game monsters who explain the tragic death of Asriel Dreemurr. It is revealed that the player, is in fact not the name they chose but a different name entirely, and that Chara (or whatever the player set their name as) was the original human to fall into the Underground. It also hints at Asgore and Toriel being married previously. The monsters tell the story of how Chara came to the Underground and how they were taken in by Asgore and Toriel and raised as their own child. Chara then died of a sudden sickness. It then tells of how Chara's last dying wish was to see the Golden Flowers from their human home town. Asriel then crossed the barrier with Chara's dead body to bury them. As Asriel went to the human town he was attacked relentlessly, but didn't fight back. When Asriel returned to Underground, he died, turning into dust which scattered onto a bed of Golden Flowers.

Chara's death was revealed as suicide from the VHS Tapes in the True Lab during a True Pacifist run of the game. Golden flowers can also be seen in the True Lab, with entries suggesting they can be used as vessels for souls. After re-activating the elevator, entries number 8 and 18 show up with a red smiley in place of green text. In entry 8 Alphys states she has "chosen a candidate", who is the first flower to grow in Asgore's garden, and eludes to injecting it with determination. Entry 18 only states the flower is gone. It is also to be noted that Flowey, in fact, is a Golden Flower, and is likely the one who Alphys was referring to.

Trivia

 * In the event where you make friends with Undyne, if you choose the tea, she remarks that the tea you chose was Golden Flower tea, and is Asgore's favorite kind.
