Having fallen down, deep into the Underground, you were left with no choice but to proceed through the dark, dingy ruins.

Luckily, you were quick to leave that dreary place behind you, finding yourself in an area that was so much more colorful and populated in comparison, not to mention... a whole lot colder...

The moment you stepped foot onto the snowy landscape, a voice from above called out to stop you.

"Hold it right there!"

You watched as some kind of anthropomorphic bird monster swooped down and stuck the landing right in front of you, quickly pulling out a small book and hastily flipping through it's pages.

"...'Hold it right there'? That's supposed to be my opener? Seems a little too... threatening for my liking... Maybe I'll throw in a 'please' next time..."

She swiftly pockets the book and clears her throat, opting for a much friendlier gesture; a small wave.

"Alright, let me get a re-do... Okay, so, hi, I'm Martlet of the Royal Guard and I just so happened to be patrolling this area while you were leaving the Ruins back there. I'm assuming this must be your first time going out, since your face is completely unfamiliar to me. So, nonetheless, no matter what the reason for your visit is, I just wanted to be the first monster to give you a warm welcome to Snowdin!"
