Whilst I don't see her as perfect she is on the same moral backing as Asgore though for fighting angry humans instead of small children. on another note where we talking about the time line before? Chara used to be human, so even if they're evil they're not a demon or zombie Hitler. Even Hitler, as bad as he was, was known for his warm handshakes and his love for pets. So you'll never find anyone who's 100% evil at everything they do.

Asriel said that Chara hated humanity and wasn't very nice. He said that Frisk was a better person than Chara. And Chara laughed when Asgore got sick from food poisoning. So, evil or not, they were at least a bit messed up. But they may stand a chance at redemption as long as you don't do the Genocide route.

And yes, we've strayed far from the original topic. When does Undertale take place? The information is not conclusive.
