Evil, there isn't "Evil" in the sense you are talking about. Good and bad doesn't exist, only subjective perspectives of it.

This reply is not a "hate on" Chara, actually Chara is my favourite. Big part of what my arguments stand on 3 things:
 * 1) 1 The tapes in the lab (Personality)
 * 2) 2 Talking to Asriel after a true pacifist run (Motives)
 * 3) 3 Talking to Chara at the end of genocide (Intentions)

I'm gonna make my argument as simple as it can.

Chara basically is kinda sociopathic (not psychotic) I think they enjoy Asriel and monsters in general, but has sociopathic traits. Careless of others misfortunes as long as it doesn't affect them like: Laughs off when Asgore got sick, but gets pissed at humans when talking with Asriel about being stuck in the underground (Because it affects Chara aswell, and playes to Chara's narrative of hating humanity)
 * 1) 1 Personality

Revenge, this is the big one. Revenge is the big motive for Chara's whole situation, but not any revenge, I'm talking about a genocide revenge. First with humans, when talking with Asriel and listening to the tapes Chara CLEARLY hates them. That's why Chara wanted to kill humans and get 6 SOULS which will make them undefeatable from humans. Destroy humanity, free monsters, get back with Asriel and all the monsters. But they got betrayed by Asriel because he showed them mercy and long story short Frisk enables the genocide and Chara gets powered from it and continues the genocide.
 * 1) 2 Motives

Power and revenge. After you give them your SOUL, you do a true pacifist run again, they coninue their genocide but now they can have a genocide of both Humans and Monsters at the same time. "Together, we eradicated the enemy and became strong." "Let us erase this pointless world, and move on to the next." "Right, you are a great partner." "With your guidance. I realized the purpose of my reincarnation. Power." Look up all dialogues of Chara and their intentions will be clear.
 * 1) 3 Intentions

So, is Chara evil? Only you can answer after reading this for your own perspective. Again, there's no "evil". Chara just has a different aproach to things and situations, which actually alines with myself tbh...
