Papyrus is the brother of Sans. His main motive is to capture a human so he can become a member of the Royal Guard, and finally have friends and popularity. Papyrus is a flamboyant skeleton who presents a confident, charismatic image of himself. He works hard and, despite his brash personality, is kind at heart. He is optimistic, brave, and considerate. He is also occasionally oblivious and nonobservant but can be cunning at times. Papyrus believes in others just as much as he believes in himself. He cooks spaghetti from time to time, though many monsters seem to think that he is not very good at it. One of the reasons for this is because Papyrus never ate spaghetti himself to complete the chef's guidebook to cooking by tasting their creation before serving. He, therefore, cooks spaghetti only because everyone else loves to eat it, indicating he does not play favorites. He loves puzzles and japes. Though advanced puzzles may seem cerebral, Papyrus also enjoys children's books and is somewhat childish with the decoration of his room. He also collects action figures.
