Not to get too complicated, a True Pacifism ending is you completely forgoing Chara's possession of you, hence why everyone instantly starts calling you "Frisk" instead of "Playername/Chara." During a Genocide playthrough, Chara shows themselves as their own character, but their name is always the one you chose, be it Chara, or Hitler, or anything in between. Chara wanted to destroy the world, his first idea was to get Asriel to absorb 7 human souls (including his own) and then possess him into destroying everything, but Asriel fought back those urges (Much like Frisk did in the pacifism ending) and returned to the underground, ruining Chara's plan.

Chara died, and failed. Their ressurection was due only to us, as players, following in their footsteps. Be it out of genocidal urges, like Chara, or Curiosity, like Flowey, Chara is ressurected, and the game ends. To make a long story short, you are Chara, until you fully shake him off in the True Pacifism ending. Every time you spare an enemy, it's canonically going against Chara's possession. When you finally spare Asriel, Chara's soul (our soul) loses all of its grip on Frisk.
