My feelings on Chara goes as follows:

Before Genocide Route: The reprisentation of an averege RPG player, someone who thinks the answer to the world's prolems is to kill all the enemies in your way to get stronger. However, that philosophy doesn't work in Undertale, so this concept is flipped on it's head. Chara ends up being a messed up kid who, while may have good intentions, goes about it in a very wrong way. That's why they're relationship with Asriel is unhealthy. Even if they loved each other, Chara was manipulative and just not a good influence. Frisk is the type of friend Asriel deserved, someone who choses love over LOVE.

After Genocide Route: The literal personification of your LV and EXP. You've pumped them with so much power that they're not even human anymore and has become a dark mirrior of the player and how far they had to go to reach this point. They've become demon that comes when people call it's name.
