Well, in a Genocide Run, Frisk has neither justice nor kindness.

The merciful Frisk after doing the Pacifist run isn't being replaced by their merciless counterpart that will successfully do Genocide. It is still one and the same person. They does have not only justice and kindness all the time regardless of chosen path, but possesses full spectrum of traits much wider than that short list I have written above. They just picking one or even several that aren't contradicting to each other, which heavily affects their bahavior and attitude resulting with Pacifist or Genocide or something between. Obviously, they still need a Mind to logically put that entire effort to good use, to determine the purpose of their actions and Free Will to start doing anything. In other words, they need a fully operational Soul. It doesn't matter how or from where, but they need it. Unless you are willing to reduce Frisk to mindless golem packed only with Determination that is required to Save (with the exception of no hit/Save runs =). That will also work, but to explain from where their Mind and Free Will comes from, refering to higher dimension is required. I doubt you are going to do that. Also, the canon will not like that too, so let's stay with multi trait Frisk.
