I'm actually writing a story about these two, before they fell into the underground. Little bit of background, the determination soul is by far the rarest, and including Frisk and Chara, there had only been 8 known cases of the soul. Everyone except Frisk and Chara, with the determination soul, was EXTREMELY cruel, and this led everyone to believe that the red soul meant you were a shapeshifting demon. Frisk is sweet and kind to everyone. However, she can be a little insensitive, and not realize the full extent of people's problems. And, because of determination, Frisk always wants MORE. This was why she climbed Mount Ebott. She was bored with her daily life and wanted something new. She gets bored easily but is very emotional. She tries to do the right thing but sometimes her determination is too strong for her to fight. Frisk is 9, and has red eyes. This isn't because of a Chara possesion or anything! I think that the color of their soul is reflected in their eyes. Which is how the phrase "The eyes are the window to the soul" was formed. However, she read about Chara, and decided to try and cover her eyes as much as possible.This is why they are closed in game. She was very self concieous about them, and doesn't want anyone to know she is determination. On the outside, Frisk stands up for herself, and others, and is very close to her friends. She likes playing outside, and doesn't like sciency stuff. However, she is very interested in souls. Once she opens up to you, though, you'll see that she is less than perfect, and some of her flaws show. But, all in all, she's just a kid trying to be kind to everyone. Now Chara. I think she was 10 when she fell into the underground, and spent 2 and a half years there before she died. Before she fell into the underground, she was quiet and reserved. She was neglected basic needs by her parents, and had no friends. She wasn't even allowed to live at her parent's house, because they all thought she was a demon for her rare eyes and soul color. Being basically homeless, Chara became a theif. Her knife was the only thing she had. She would hardly ever talk or threaten people. She would just quietly grab some chocolate, clothes, and food, and slink out of the store. If they would notice her, and yell something, she would look at them with her creepy face, still saying nothing for several seconds, and walk away. Everyone in her village thought she was a demon, and the police were called on her many times. She was very agile and a very good hider and escape artist. On the rare occasion police did catch her, she held up her knife and ran off. The reason why she liked golden flowers so much was to her, it seemed that they were the only living thing that didn't hate her. She spent most of her time there, looking at the sky. She climbed mount ebott with a few flowers in her hand, and her knife in her pocket, because she was so tired of no one giving her any chances to prove herself. And she was hated by all. Lots of pressure for a ten year old kid! Anywho, if you befriended Chara, I imagined her as a Bo Burnham sort of person, if that makes since, being sarcastic and pretty funny. If you were best friends with Chara, like on an Asriel level, she'd reveal her true feelings and would be very mature, but still laugh and smile often. However, I think Chara takes a very long time to trust anyone, especially humans. I think she only started to warm up to Frisk in early snowdin. (Narrator Chara theory) Chara can easily change human's and monster's emotions, and with one glance, can make people switch from a bad day to a great one, and with one expression, can make people terrified. Normally, Chara just wants all the monsters to be free and happy, and she feels guilty for taking up space and resources without helping them, the first who had been kind to her. She would sacrifice herself willingly, and would do literally anything for Asriel. However, in genocide run, with LOVE, she gets corrupted easily and quickly. I think the reason she allows herself to, was because LOVE was the only thing that would give her a physical form, so she can reunite with Asriel one more time, however underestimates it, and it turns her into a true demon. Chara's intentions were always good, at least towards the monsters. "OKAY WELL i pretty much spoiled the entire show" ​​​-Alphys
