I want in on the REAL Susie analysis 🙏

YOU DID THIS. IT'LL BE THE HOLY GRAIL OF YAPS.

Little Tw for child neglect, abuse and self-destructive behaviours

Susie is a very different character from most young monsters in Deltarune. Just from her outer appearance, you can tell she's messy, defensive, and careless. This is a great contrast from the average kid; even Kris, who's considered an outcast, has a more childlike aura than her.

Noelle is a good comparison model of what a child of her age should look like:

Hair: Both Noelle and Susie have the same length of hair. However, Noelle's is visibly more taken care of; she has it trimmed in layers, brushed, and out of her face. Susie, on the other hand, has hair with a bunch of flyaways that is obviously not styled with just the slightest trace of a past haircut, which she has already overgrown by the look of her bangs.

Clothes: Noelle has new, colourful clothes. They are formal and match, not to mention they're her size. Susie has baggy, dull clothes that have obviously gone through some wear and tear. Her shoes, too, are slightly too big and feel out of place if we consider the rest of the outfit.

Stance: Noelle has a visibly relaxed stance. Her head stands tall, her hands rest peacefully by her sides, and she's smiling. Susie's head hangs low, her hands are clenched into fists, and she has a serious expression on her face.

Interaction with others: Noelle is respectful, positive, and demure with her interactions. She's happy to interact and be vulnerable with others. Susie is satirical, cynical, and often uses foul language around people. She's used to roughhousing, even when she wants to express affection (as seen in chapter 2 when Ralsei shows her the room he made for her) and refuses to accept help despite needing it, reaching extremes such as becoming violent to keep others away (this is also shown in chapter 2 when she falls from the trash pile and Ralsei tries to help her, she's clearly in bad terms with the idea of being seen as weak).

These are her most noticeable traits, and the ones most people know her by. They all can be justified with a root problem, and oh boy, do I love the theory I'm about to show you. What I think of Susie is this: she comes from an abusive, neglectful household, which gave her violence and pain as her only defence and coping mechanisms. Her traits and other small cues can be justified with this theory:

Hair: Susie’s unkempt and overgrown hair suggests a lack of basic grooming, which children usually don’t manage on their own. Her parents either had bigger priorities or didn't classify a haircut as a need, so they left it unattended. This is a possible sign of child neglect, or lack of care by her parents. In my opinion, it’s not about fashion. it's about being forgotten or ignored.

Clothes: Susie may wear hand-me-downs, donation center finds, or simply clothing she’s outgrown but never replaced. The fact that her clothes are baggy, worn and dull suggests she either doesn’t get new clothes often or intentionally dresses in a way that’s meant to intimidate and deflect attention. This could reflect neglect neglect since no one is providing her with fresh clothes, poverty in case she isn’t able to afford them or emotional self-defence from trying to look unapproachable or keep a low profile.

Interaction with others: Susie lashes out quickly, uses sarcasm or intimidation as her first reaction, and doesn’t allow others to help her easily. This is classic trauma-based behaviour, especially in children who’ve learned that vulnerability leads to pain or deception. Her rough shows of affection like nudging Ralsei hard when he's kind to her are a result of not knowing how to express care gently. She might have grown up in an environment where emotional expression was punished or simply never modeled. Her sense of affection is physical, brash, and awkward because she’s never been shown how to do it safely.

This is connected with the last point, but lines like:

"Now I can stab myself during the night. Finally, some convenience."

"When I see a big pit, all I want to do is jump in."

"If it weren’t for the spikes, I would've impaled myself."

are very concerning to me. These kinds of behaviours often show a lack of care for safety or self-destructive tendencies in a person, and seeing them in someone so young is alarming, especially because they’re often learned.

Another point I want to touch is the fact Susie probably has PICA. She’s caught eating chalk outside of her class in chapter one, something Alphys says she’s repeatedly done before. The psychological disorder I‘m talking about makes individuals consume non-food substances. In children, pica is often associated with malnutrition, stress, trauma or poor supervision of parents. Other instances in which this is evidenced is how she eats moss with Kris and tree sap with Lancer (he is also a confirmed abused kid who could’ve developed similar coping mechanisms due to the poor diet his father provided for him btw, which could be the reason Susie bonded so fast with him).

We could also take the fact she’s never had a room of her own to justify the theory her parents have neglected her. She’s never had something that was truly hers; no belongings, no space of her own, not even an ounce of love or positive attention. I think this is one of the most important aspects to take in consideration.

If you take all of these points in consideration, Susie isn’t a childish bully, but a traumatised child who’s trying to survive after experiencing a very shitty childhood. I’m not justifying her actions, but I believe she targeted others to project the trauma she’s been through as a way to process it all. This is also probably why she’s chosen Kris to torment, their withdrawn attitude could remind her of the shy, quiet and surrendered personality of the little kid she once was.
