Tem Shop

The Tem Shop is a vendor in Undertale found in Temmie Village, which is hidden in Waterfall. It is known as the only vendor in the game willing to purchase items from the protagonist.

Appearance
The Tem Shop shopkeeper has the same basic appearance as all other Temmies in-game, with a few exceptions: light gray instead of black hair, and a sky blue and yellow striped shirt instead of a solid Pacific Blue shirt. When the Temmie shopkeeper is paid to go to college, she dons a black graduation cap.

The Shop itself shelves a branch with a leaf, a bone, a glowing purple potion and two single socks, both very different in size and design. On top of a couple of what seems to be cardboard boxes, a picture of the Annoying Dog can be seen. Although these items are displayed for purchase, they are unobtainable in the real game and serve no purpose rather than decoration. The shop's "counter" is also just a cardboard box with the words "TEM SHOP" painted in yellow and blue on its side facing the protagonist, matching the clothes of the Tem Shop owner.

Personality
The Temmie shopkeeper, like most Temmies, speaks with incorrect capitalization and spelling. Though there are different dialogue options, she either says hello or will only note a topic's existence should the protagonist ask about it (Upon asking about the shop, the Temmie Shopkeeper would only recommend that the protagonist goes there). Unlike most other Temmies, however, when the protagonist refuses to sell an item a second time, she will speak in perfect and fluent English.

Neutral and True Pacifist Route
The Tem Shop, located in Temmie Village, is hidden from the rest of Waterfall and is only accessible from a non-lit path in the Mushroom room of Waterfall (Located east of Gerson's Shop). The Temmie Village's existence is only noted by Gerson, who will recommend the protagonist go to Temmie Village when attempting to sell an item to him ; the River Person, who gives the protagonist a hint on how to get there ; and Undyne, who will tell the protagonist how to get there, but recommend that they do not.

Unlike all other shops in the game, it is possible to sell items to the Temmie Shopkeeper. Because of this, the Tem Shop is the most efficient way in the game to obtain large amounts of Gold. While selling items to the Temmie Shopkeeper, there is a 1/8th chance that she will find a sudden liking to the item being sold and will offer a higher price for the item. If the protagonist denies selling the item, she will put up an even higher price. It is here that the protagonist should sell the item as it is the highest price they will get for it. If declined further, the Temmie Shopkeeper will berate the protagonist in proper English, and the item will not be sold.

Genocide Route
The Temmie Shopkeeper's dialogue and overall demeanor remain unchanged by the protagonist's killing spree throughout the Underground; they will buy and sell items per usual. The only differences between the routes are her wares (She sells a "premiem" Temmie Flake instead of "tem pay 4 colleg") and the music that plays while in the shop (slowed down, like other tracks on a Genocide Route). Since it is impossible to pay for the Temmie Shopkeeper's college in this route, the protagonist cannot obtain the Temmie Armor.

Trivia

 * "Tem Shop" is a play on "Item Shop," commonly found in RPGs.
 * The bottle on the shelf may be a reference to Temmie Chang's thesis film, Potion Shop.
 * When the Tem shop owner leaves for college, her face is left floating in midair.
 * Since Tem offers a "skolarship" to reduce the price of the Tem Armor every time the protagonist dies, she might be one of the only characters in Undertale who are aware of the protagonist's ability to SAVE, with the others being Flowey and Sans.
