While many commonly accept that Frisk, is the main protagonist, It is more likely that, "Frisk" doesnt really exist. It is likely Chara herself was infact, resurrected, there are many clues leading to this but the main quotes come during Chara's text at the end of the Genocide run, literally stating that it was the player, who provided chara, with the determination, and soul to be reborn. Also this could be why it shows Chara's falling animation at the start of the game, following with "Frisk" being automatically equipped with the Bandages, found inside of Chara's coffin in Core. this also explains how chara could, in Genocide route, fulfill the role of the Angel. As we all know the description states what the angels role and requirments are..

"There is a prophecy. The Angel... The One Who Has Seen The Surface... They will return. And the underground will go empty."

As "Frisk" The Player could not satisfy the the conditions for the prophecy to be fulfilled, since, as far as we knew, Frisk had only just Fallen that once, therefore could not have "Returned". The only character to have met these conditions would be True Pascifist Asriel. However using the knowledge that the beggining Falling animation, does not show "Frisk", but does in fact show Charas Falling animation, and that "Frisk" is wearing Chara's Burial Bandages.

"In the Genocide Route, Chara says that the player's "determination" and "human soul" awakened them from death."

Chara is talking directly to the player. The moment you load a new game, Chara is literally being reborn, and depending on how you play, can be an emotionless body, controlled by a third person, leading a life down a timeline that doesn't show the true storyline. Or the player can gain steadily more determination, or Soul power, and continually awaken the decreasinly dormant Chara, who periodically takes control of their reborn body, considering you a "partner", and fulfilling the prophecy for a True Genocide ending.
