She was reawakened because you the player was a genocidal maniac that killed everyone, and she manipulated you to do it, as shown in red text, which is what Chara says or is saying. She may have not caused the genocide, but she was present, right there.

Also even before the player came, Asriel has said Chara hated humanity, and wasn't the best person. Chara took control of the shared body and tried to outright kill the other humans, but refused due to Asriel, but it made Asriel a flower afterwards, and Chara's spirit to be reawakened by the players actions.

Whatever made Chara hate humanity, certainly made her creepy. Like, MEGA creepy. We don't know why Chara tried to kill the humans, all we know is that they did. It's just as likely for them to have attacked the humans out of a simple desire to do so as it's likely for them to be trying to get seven human souls to re-open the barrier. And Chara never manipulated the player. If you don't do Genocide, nothing except for Flowey will ever tell you to do a Genocide Route, even if you're in a Neutral Route with just one kill away from triggering a Genocide Route. Chara only starts talking in red text after you enter a Genocide Route(and even then, not always), and they'll stop as soon as you abort it.

It's also possible to hate humanity while not being a villain. After all, take a look around you. Us humans have done very nasty things and continue to do that to this day(although not as much as before, but still). It's likely that Chara, unlike other children, wasn't taught to see the world through a field of gloss and sugar, making them see how cruel humanity can be, and caused them to become a nihilist. Who knows, they may have gone through a traumatizing event before, which may have led them to try to disappear by going into Mt. Ebott.

As for Asriel saying Chara wasn't the best person, that's actually a very healthy action to take, and I admire him for it. It's implied that Asriel regarded Chara very highly and as above imperfections, which is definitely a bad thing to do. Nobody's perfect, and this kind of behaviour likely led Asriel to blindly follow Chara's suggestions and ideas because he idolized them. At the end of True Pacifist, he finally realizes how unhealthy that behaviour was, and accepts that Chara is not above imperfections. But this doesn't mean Chara was a disgusting person. Perfect people with no flaws don't exist in the real world, and in the fictional world they're always considered Mary Sues.

There's a post that analyzes Chara incredibly well, and likely addresses any sort of doubt I may not have clarified. Be forewarned, though: It's very in-depth and throughout, so it's a very long read.
