We don't know.

But there are some possibilities.

First off, have a proof of the narrator theory:https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:140457

Agree with the narrator theory now? If not, where is the flaw in my proof? (Seriously, I'd like to know.) If so, then let us continue.

So, Chara is the narrator. We know that the narrator has quite the connection with Frisk. They give all the flavor text, including the ones with the stats, and narration we get when looking at items.

This is perhaps one of the reasons why the stats we see have Chara's name on it. Frisk's name wasn't revealed until the end of the Pacifist Route, so perhaps Chara didn't know Frisk's name, so their stat screens only show their own name.

After all, we don't see our name on the screen during Flowey's initial fight-Only after, which is also when we get narration for the first time.

Another possibility is that since Chara had the HUD first, and Frisk fell on Chara at the very start of the game, the HUD synchronized with Chara before it could synchronize with Frisk. Meaning that, in fact, we're interacting with the HUD through Chara. This might be where the dialogue options come from, or it might just be that they serve as a proxy.
