Toriel is a strong-minded, intelligent, and motherly type of lady; who is at least a hundred or so years older than she looks. She enjoys baking, reading, bad jokes and teaching others. She is considered to be very intimidating by the other creatures of the ruins, because of how forceful her judging stares are when they attempt to attack those who fall down, often driving them off with it. Because of her previous unpleasant experiences, she is gentle to and fearful for those who fall into the underground. She also has intuition on whether she feels that she has seen you before and although she is patient, she doesn't put up with those who do what she considers to be the wrong thing (this is evident in her leaving Asgore out of disgust). Her tone needs to sound gentle, middle-aged and motherly, but her attitude is that of someone who has lived for a very long time. The pitch of her voice is medium to deep-sounding, though she can sound a bit more shrill in times when she is panicked or upset.
