I envision both as little girls, age 8-12, Asian or Caucasian.

I think Frisk is just a normal kid who fell down the hole after running away from home following a scolding by her parents, or maybe she was on a little adventure. I picture her kind of like a Chihiro from Spirited Away character.

I think Chara was a normal kid too, but the Heart Locket and Worn Dagger suggest she was running away from a bad situation. Maybe a family member was murdered, the dagger was her defence weapon and she took the locket before running away. She might've fallen down the hole accidentally, or she might have gone up the mountain purposefully knowing that humans who go there never return, just seeking to die after the trauma she had endured. That was the event that drove her hatred for humanity and set her down the path of psychopathy.
