So this leads to a couple problems. If Frisk is some part of Asriel, how come they have a soul? If they're a monster why is their soul right side up and red? Here I have answers but they may not be satisfactory.

Okay, to start with how could Asriel make a soul? Well monsters make a new soul every time they have a child right? I mean, they'd have to, otherwise where does their children soul come from.

It could be that Asriel created Frisk through some sort of form of... reproduction? I'm not exactly fond of this hypothesis, especially since I think them being a part of Asriel seems to hold better with the evidence. Though there is some reason to think this is true. Boss monsters are unique in that their soul power gets transferred to their offspring, this might explaian where Friks can hold their soul together in the pacifist ending, obtaining power from Asriel. It would also explain why Frisk has more determination than Flowey, their siphing off from him (though that could also be explain by Frisk being physically larger and able to hold more).

Then there's the problem of the red soul. Well, Frisk is not a normal monster by any means obviously. And as I said, I think Chara's body was vital in creating them. So perhaps that's how their soul ended up looking. Since I think Flowey made them he would (subconsciously) want their soul to look like Chara.

It could also be the effects of a magic effect. We know with magic a monster can change a human soul's colour, even turn them upside down. Why such an effect would be on their soul, well again that's maybe Flowey's doing. He is the first one to pull out Frisk's soul afterall.

Then again, maybe I'm totally wrong about all of this.

Like I said I'm not super confident about this, there are still somethings I need to work out. There's other evidence I didn't even include because I don't think it's strong enough. Let me know what you think though.
