Toriel is the warm, motherly and somewhat neurotic former queen of the underground. She is kind, compassionate, and a bit socially awkward, constantly cracking the worst jokes imaginable. As a mother and former queen, she knows always believes she knows what's best. Toriel’s voice should sound maternal but authoritative, and potentially a bit off-beat. Her isolation has made her a bit socially inept, and the awkwardness or nervousness in her voice should reflect this.
