If we go strictly by canon,then both were inseparable,Chara understood Asriel and played a lot with him that's it.The whole "Chara abused/manipulated Asriel"is NEVER confirmed to be canon.If go by STRICTLY the canon then Chara's plan was only to free monsters,whatever tbey had or not ulteriour motives is up to speculation.If we go strictly by canon,Chara destroys the world regardless your choice because you "led it to it's destruction".If we strictly go by canon,Chara was beloved by the whole monsterkind and was viewed as the" future of humans and monsters".If we go STRICTLY by canon,then there's nothing that indicates that Chara destroy humanity in souless pacifist endinings.

Td;lr:If we go by canon,Chara is in no way this kind of manipulative yandere demon everyone portay them as.
