Like one that should be held as example for fairy tale heroes and heroines. Asriel is, in a way,, actually the farthest ever thing to Flowey. Flowey is only a vessel who happens to have Asriel's memory, because when created, that flower was actually located where Asriel has died and turned to dust.

When being soulless, Flowey cannot feel any positive emotions, like Asriel. It would take an immeasurable amount of soul power to bring Asriel back to his form again, at which he finds himself at his own emotions, with both his memory and newly made memories from the time he's Flowey.
