Kriselle

Kriselle is the non-binary ship between Kris Dreemurr and Noelle Holiday from the Deltarune fandom.

Backstory
Kris and Noelle are estranged childhood friends and classmates of Alphys' class. Growing up the two would play together along with their siblings. Kris would often prank Noelle, scaring her by putting ketchup on their arms and pretend to pretend it was human blood, hiding under her bed to scare her, shaking the ferris wheel cart once they were at the top, and making her believe ICE-E is a monster who eats children. Kris would also show kindness to Noelle giving her gifts. The two would later drift apart after the disappearance of Dess Holiday or the divorce of Toriel and Asgore. Despite their estrangement they are the only other person aside from her father to whom she can confide in, as well as show her weirder side to in the real world.

Chapter 1
Upon unexpectedly arriving to class Alphys tell Kris to find a partner for the group project. Kris asks Noelle to be their partner but Noelle will already be partnered with Berdly, Noelle asks Alphys if they could form a group of three only to be rebuffed by Berdly and failing to speak up. Later that day, Kris can visit Rudy at the hospital and ask about Noelle. Rudy will mention her fears including her fear of humans under her bed, which was just Kris waiting to scare her, Rudy will ask Kris to keep an eye on her as he currently can't protect her. Meeting Noelle later outside her house Noelle will ask if Kris needed help with their homework having prepared material beforehand just in case they need it. If The Player chooses to continue speaking to Noelle she will notice something is off about Kris as they are usually not very talkative and question why they visited her father in the hospital.

Normal Route
After class, Noelle startles Kris and Susie by walking up to them just as they are preparing to enter the Dark World to invite them to study at the Library with her and Berdly. She then asks Kris to bring Susie later Library. When Kris and Susie do actually go study with them there, it becomes apparent that Noelle and Berdly had fallen into a (new) Dark World. In the Cyber World, Noelle is captured by Queen, who intends to recruit Noelle to her cause of world domination. At the end of the Cyber Field, Noelle is pitted against Kris and the party on a roller coaster, but promptly replaced by the more eager-to-please Berdly. Noelle escapes and attempts to hide from Queen.In Cyber City once Kris meets up with Noelle she will ask if they can a truce if The Player chooses No Triple Trucies instead of Of Course Kris will speak the words with jovial tone allowing Noelle to join the party. Into the city The Player can interact with an advertisement for a giant Ferris Wheel. Noelle will wonder if Susie would want to ride it with her, The Player can answer I will ride with you, Noelle will refuse thinking Kris is setting up to prank her and shake the Ferris Wheel cart like when they were children at the festival. Interacting with the Pink Addison in the area he will see the two alone and think they're dating, Noelle will correct him saying they're just friends but is unable to tell if they are actually friends despite being neighbors for as long as they can remember and knowing each other better than anyone. The Player can confirm that the two are friends making Noelle happy affirming their friendship or choose We're something more it is unknown how Kris answers this.

Continuing forward to the first electric barrier The Player can play a trick on Noelle by stepping off switch before she reaches the barrier, she will tell Kris to stay on the switch and as if they need a dog treat or something. Kris answer playfully if The Player answers Nooooo choosing to howl the answer, if The Player chooses Yes Kris will answer genuinely wanting a dog treat. If The Player attempts to play the trick on Noelle by stepping off the switch as soon as she reaches the barrier she will get back at Kris by playing the same trick on them laughing at the look on their face, Kris will look hurt possibly from not liking to take pranks to such a dangerous level. Deeper into the city Kris and Noelle will reach the DECEMBER puzzle room, Noelle will begin to reminisce about her sister and how they along with Kris and Asriel would often play together and explore the forest behind the graveyard, despite crying the entire time Noelle admits she doesn't mind being scared as long as someone is there to comfort her. Noelle will comment on how Kris is the only one who knows how weird she is. At the milk bottle toss booths after Queen hands Kris the gift, The Player can choose to have Kris give the gift to Noelle. If the gift is given to Noelle she will comment on how Kris hasn't given her a gift like that since they were little kids and wonders if this is Kris saying they want things to go back to how they were before, before promptly thinking that Kris just wants a refund instead. After that, Kris and Noelle team up with Susie and Ralsei; and later are captured by Queen. Kris and Noelle don't have any moments together after that moment, but they eventually meet up again and with the help of the others defeat Queen. Later, when the Dark Fountain is sealed, Noelle waves a cheerful goodbye to Kris as she leaves the Library. Kris (and Susie) can later visit her at the hospital, where she will be playing Dragon Blazers with her father, Rudy;

Weird Route
On the Snowgrave Route, Kris, controlled by the player, uses their time with Noelle (in Cyber City) to help her become "stronger" through killing enemies with her Iceshock spell. Noelle is then coaxed into stealing the Freeze Ring from a shopkeeper, causing her to become more ambivalent towards killing enemies, subsequently becoming brainwashed into thinking Kris is making her stronger.

Eventually, Kris and Noelle encounter Berdly, whom Noelle initially does not recognize. Berdly, who becomes worried for Noelle's well-being, engages in a battle, and the player forces Noelle to use SnowGrave, a spell she does not know. This causes Berdly to become encased in a massive ice crystal. After this, Noelle leaves the party in a depressed daze, and is not seen again (except for a short interaction she has with Susie off-screen) until she seemingly finishes off Spamton NEO with an ice attack. Kris seals the Dark Fountain alone, and the party wakes up in the computer lab. Berdly does not wake up.

Noelle has different dialogue in the hospital. She is more controlling of the game she plays with Rudy, and suggests using IceShock on the Ice Palace boss (in comparison to suggesting Fireshock in the normal route). When she and Kris leave the room, she begins to question whether or not the events that happened earlier were real or not, eventually finding out they were real (especially if Kris is wearing her watch afterwards).

Fanon
began with a small following with Chapter 1, thanks to Kris and Noelle's status as neighbors and childhood friends. The ship since gained steady support after the release of Chapter 2 with Noelle revealing to The Player that the two have known each other their whole lives and know each other better than anyone. This has left fans of this pairing are curious to know what caused the two's friendship to drift apart and hope the two do reconnect down the line. The discovery of the hidden Weird Route in Chapter 2 has spawned a seemingly darker and less romantically inclined depiction of the pair portraying Kris and/or The Player as being possessive of Noelle, with Noelle as a far more submissive follower. This darker depiction of the two has been portrayed in several AUs such as AfterGrave by gamethesoldier, SnowHeart by wickedcriminal, and SoulGrave by deltarune-au-domain.
