My theory is that it's just Chara in there, moving around, talking to people, giving us choices and following what we decide. There is no Frisk. Frisk is just a name.I think when Asriel says, "I know. You're not actually Chara, are you? Chara's been gone a long time. Um..what IS your name?"Chara answers, "Frisk." A name they just made up and based partly on the word 'Friend' since you only get it in the friendship (aka pacifist) route.Why would Chara do this?- I think they want to start with a blank slate.- I think they might be disappointed Asriel didn't recognize them.- I think they don't want to take credit for the happy ending, they try to give the credit to us.- I think they see themself being in a different body (with us telling them what we want to do) as something different from what they were before. They aren't Chara anymore, with us they are something new. I think they give this new entity a name, Frisk.Here is some support for this theory:Best support: Chara is a red soul, Frisk is a red soul, there are never two red souls in the game but we know Chara is there the whole time. (I suppose if you don't believe in NaraChara you wouldn't believe this part though.)More support: A human cannot absorb a human soul so Chara couldn't go into Frisk if Frisk already had a soul.More support: When you play through the power route (aka genocide) there is only Chara. It's like Frisk isn't there at all.And more support: The exact wording on the prophecy is: "The Angel, who's seen the surface, will come back and the Underground will go empty." Note the 'come back' that applies to Chara but not a separate-entity-Frisk. --Thanks for reading!
