To me, Chara is someone horribly abused by the surface world to the point they have difficulty expressing compassion and love as well taking on the kill or be killed ideology. But after meeting the Dreemur family and Underworld they truly found a place and people he could love even if they had trouble expressing it. That's why the Pacifist route is doubly heart warming; you're not just leading Frisk into the light but Chara as well.
