What are this theory's merits that may appeal to someone who happens to like Chara? Or for someone, who believes in the narrator Chara theory? Or someone, who doesn't think there is anyone truly evil within the game?

Because so far, I couldn't figure out these, and weren't convinced that logic dictates that Asriel should get two souls on Chara's expense.

Someone who likes Chara would enjoy the possiblity that the climax of the True Pacifist Ending (which I believe is the canon ending) is when Frisk SAVE's Chara's soul, repairing its damaged state so that she, too, can feel compassion.

She and Asriel have always been inseperable, although Asriel considered them to be best friends, while Chara was secretly using him. Now, though, for the first time, they really are best friends, closer than anyone could possibly be, best friends in truth for the first time.

Also, the prospect of Asriel harboring Chara's soul, then eventually getting his own back over time, raises the possiblity that in the sequel (which I'm absolutely certain is happening) Chara's soul might leave Asriel and allow the redeemed Chara to be full ressurected herself, and become a full member of the team.

So in the True Pacifist ending, Chara is saved, while in the Genocide ending Chara is dammed.

Considering that we, the player, have gone into this game considering that WE were Chara, and our actions determine the outcome of this, I think it's very poetic that we get to save ourselves by being good.
