I personally think Chara just hated humanity in life and they were maybe a bit sadistic or sociopathic as a result of some sort of abuse they suffered from humans, hence why they hated them and climbed up Mt. Ebott.

I like to think that maybe there's a bit of Chara in Frisk regardless of the route (hence why they have memories of Asriel when fighting him that are really Chara's)- But by doing a Genocide playthrough, their sadism begins growing and growing until they eventually start enjoying killing (which is why the '!' when a random encounter comes up turns into a ':)' and what they mean when they say you helped them "realize the purpose of [their] incarnation") and take full control over Frisk.
