A memorial statue would not have been made at the end of 201X.

..And why not?

It couldn't have been Chara for the same reason it couldn't have been Asriel. They both died on the same day after growing up together for some time.

My ultimate reason for rejecting Asriel was the phone call tapes, remember? And once again, how do we know they grew up for a long time? Why couldn't it have been like 3 days? The fact that they only ever made 4 tapes seems to support the idea that they weren't there for that long. (Tape 1 doesn't count, that was Toriel and Asgore talking during Asriel's birth.)

And Chara had been adopted into the royal family.

The fact still stands that they'd be considered royalty, and thus, qualifies as a candidate.
