In the genocide run, both Frisk AND Chara are evil. But Chara wasn't always evil. Allow me to explain.

Long ago, there was a human who hated humanity. The reason why, we don't know, but they probably were around bad humans, and were convinced that all humans were like that. They went to the mountain likely to just get away from the other humans. Then, they saw the giant hole, stepped closer to look at it, tripped, and fell. Then, they were greeted by Asriel Dreemurr.

The two became like siblings, and Chara loved the nice monsters. Chara came up with a plan to free the monsters, involving dying, getting absorbed by Asriel, and the two freeing the monsters together. Whether or not they wanted to destroy humanity, we don't know, if they did, it would be strictly because of their hatred of humanity. Chara then picked up their own body, which attracted the humans to attack. Chara did this to show Asriel how humans were like-They were finally going to answer the question-Why do they hate humanity? They then decided they wanted to kill these humans and take their SOULS, these would be the ones used to break the barrier, and Chara didn't want the two to die. Asriel, the nice monster he is, decided against it-He didn't want to kill. This resuled in them getting wounded, and then fled over back Underground, and died when they reached New Home.

Many years later, Frisk falls down, and awakens Chara-Their determination bringing them back to life. But, Chara died, and it was merely determination that brought them back-So technically, Chara is soulless here. *Flowey laugh* As Frisk kills more and more monsters, Chara sees how not a single one dodged an attack, how nice monsters are to humans, despite the fact that humans killed the heir to the throne. It seems as if the monsters, are way to naïve in their understand-That they do not understand the way of the world:Kill or be killed. Though the biggest reason why they hate monsters now is actually an emotional reaction:Who they thought to be their very best friend, Asriel Dreemurr, betrayed the plan. Their best friend. Yeah, that's definelty going to leave a crack in the relationship with monsters here. This is why Flowey recognizes you as Chara early on in a Genocide Run.

Chara DOES want you to do the Genocide Run-If you miss Snowdrake in Snowdin, you get "Missed that comedian. Failure." If you attempt to progress to Undyne in Waterfall without killing the monsters, which would abort the route, you get "Strongly felt X left. Shouldn't proceed yet. But, this is due to the fact the the monster they love most got them both killed in order to protect the humans, who attacked first. This is what corrupts Chara into the evil demon-child we see in the end of the Genocide Run, and the Post-Genocide Pacifist Ending-They want a Pacifist Ending after a Genocide Ending, so they can destroy humanity. They want your SOUL partially for that reason, and possibly partially so they can feel love again. That'll help in the next world, when they find someone they don't consider disgusting.
