Sure, Chara's evil, but they're not a one-dimensional villain.

Here's what I have about them right now.

They were a human that hated humanity, who went off to the place nobody returned to, hoping to meet the monsters, who were banished there in the first place. If there really was a war that banished them underground, and we have a certain mountain that nobody returned to.. Put two and two together-What does that say about this mountain?

And they did. Asriel came over, and Chara was promptly taken in as a Dreemurr.

Asriel and Chara, they were both great friends. But Chara's hatred for humanity never left. So they came up with a plan..

Chara knew Asriel wouldn't willingly kill all of humanity just like that. They also knew about split control, as Tape 5 shows. "Six, right? We just have to get six. And we'll do it together, right?"

So, they decided they'd give Asriel a little demonstration. By picking up their own body, where the humans could see them, they got the humans to attack, and for a very unjustified reason as well. Sure, Chara could have attacked the humans first, but that'd ruin the message they were trying to give to Asriel-They wanted Asriel to get the message that humans are bad.

Asriel refused to kill, even in self-defense. He stood there, taking blow after blow. After a while, they retreated, but it was too late. They were killed, because Asriel refused to kill the humans.

"In this world, it's kill or be killed"-Flowey

When Chara awoke, you bet they were enraged with what Asriel did to them! Ever wondered why they killed Flowey differently than Sans or Asgore? Because they have this personal grudge against Asriel.

They were also SOULless.

"My 'determination'. My 'human SOUL'. They were not mine, but YOURS."-Chara

That's not a very good combination, is it?

Chara is indeed corrupted.. But not by us. In fact, I'd say that they have the exact same flaw in the Genocide Route-Their hatred had extended to the monsters, because of what Asriel did.

The only exception is Undyne. Hmm, I wonder WHY Chara calls Undyne the true heroine, but calls monsters like Papyrus forgettable, Monster Kid free EXP..

"NGAHHH!!! DIE ALREADY, YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU'RE GETTING IN MY WAY!"-Undyne

"He will finally take the surface back from humanity...And give them back the suffering and pain that we have endured."-Undyne

The reason why Chara likes Undyne, but none of the other monsters.. Is because she's the only other one, who truly wants humanity dead.
