The control over our body was actually split between us - Asriel. The same thing happiens to Frisk during Genocide. There is no other way than Soul absorption to gain at least partial control over someone's body. And in this case having control over someone requires fully operational Soul - the thing that is actually aware what is going on and is able to act by itself. Chara taking control over Frisk is direct evidence that their Soul was never broken and it never died by any means. If it had stayed around, I'm sure that would have been noted - I do realise that monsters should notice that. For me it smells like another plot hole. Anyway, when Asriel turned into dust, Chara's Soul more likely returned to their body that Asriel brought with him. That body was later moved by Toriel to Ruins and buried in the same place where Frisk has landed while entering the Underground. An excellent opportunity to get another host, or am i wrong? If Chara's Soul was destroyed when Asriel died then what is taking control over Frisk during Geno? It cannot be Chara because their Soul, the very culmination of their being, was destroyed. Chara's "spirit" was awoken by Frisk during the Genocide route. Their SOUL may have broken rendering them physically dead, but pieces of them may have lingered on and anchored them to their world from their determination. After all, Flowey was basically Asriel's dust (which carries their essence) fused with determination inside a flower.
