Exactly. They're a little kid that we, the player, influenced and made believe that killing was the answer. We know for certain Chara isn't evil because we had help from them on the True Pacifist route. And Chara will tell the player what they were told by Asgore before they died in an attempt to keep Frisk going, because Frisk can save the monsters. And, to add to your point, an example of this mistake is how they discovered buttercups were poisonous. Asriel and Chara were wanting to make a pie for their parents, thought 'cups of butter' meant buttercups, and then gave the pie to their parents. Asgore got sick because of it. We also know that Chara was depressed. As evidenced by Asriel, the climbed Mount. Ebbot to commit suicide because they had been abused by humans. They were then taken in by the Dreemurrs when the fall didn't kill them, and finally found a family, people that cared for them. And there's proof they love their family. The drawings that they drew with Azzy, the sweater that they made for Asgore, the memories we get from them, the descriptions they give when we check monsters they knew directly... in the end, Chara's a scared and imressionable kid. They come back and either find they're stuck following a human who either saves the monsters ot slays the monsters. So they change based on what they're forced to witness.
