Did anyone else notice that Undyne is the most stabe character in Undertale? Besides her bombastic and overzealous belief in anime, she has a clear mind and a well maintained moral compass. She is the embodiment of a "true hero".

To begin, lets look at every other friend you can make in game to list their short comings.

-Toriel: Wracked with grief after losing both of her children, she divorces Asgore, takes up the hermit lifestyle, and shows an almost suicidal need to keep Frisk away from danger, including her ex-husband.

-Sans: The literal antithesis of Determination, Sans masks his depression and sense of hopelessness with levity and laziness.

-Alphys: Probably the worst out of every character, Alphys lied her way into becoming the Royal Scientist (she told Asgore that Mettaton was a robot with an artifical soul, when really it's a ghost haunting a robot), knows nothing about the Underground's scientific aspects, she knows that Frisk is in danger when traversing both Hotlands and the Core and does nothing to prevent their pain or own up to her lies, and she made the lives of every monster that fell down into a livng hell.

-Asgore: Breaks his own moral compass to facilitate the Monster's need for hope, going so far as to have every fallen human executed. He shows how much his actions have strained him, and believes he doens't deserve mercy when fighting Frisk.

While all of these characters have a moral dilemma or a secret to keep hidden, Undyne lays all of her cards on the table and it shows that she's simply a normal person looking to do right by the people who she calls family.
