Whan you start up the game you are asked to name the fallen human (Chara).

This is usally said to just literaly mean fallen into the underground or fallen from grace (angel being banished from heaven or becoming a demon)

But i haven't seen anyone mention that the phrase fallen human might also mean dead human. Though a couple points in the game the phrase fallen down or fallen is used when talking about death or someone who had died,like in snowdin libery when reading about moster funerals and in the true lab when alphys was talking about her subjects in her logs.Just as well this could be refering to the fact the Chara is dead when you name them.

Its not likely but it could be a small hint from the creactor that would help you figure out before the pacifict finally that the protagonist and the fallen human are not the same person after hearing asriel's story when you approch asgore's home and hear the tapes in the lab.
