I just see them as a child who wanted to do good but got brutally murdered by the humans. After that, many years of being in the grave passed until they bonded to Frisk, who fell down. After that, Chara guided Frisk through the Underground, and depending on which route you took, encouraged you in that respective route. Chara may not have been the greatest person like Asriel said and hated humanity, but keep in mind that they are just an impressionable child without a higher understanding of the world, so that "Hate" probably isn't what everyone perceives it to be. It could have been perfectly justified because it's implied that Chara climbed Mt. Ebott to commit suicide, which probably was due to being abused on the surface. They had only one family who loved them dearly, and for that, they wanted to do what they felt was right for all monsters, and that was to break the barrier.
