I'd say that Chara's alignment is simply for the player to interpret. While their past intentions are ambiguous, it is purely up to the player to choose whether Chara is a benevolent paragon or a malevolent demon. Much like how Frisk is a blank slate, Chara is also this, and as you progress further, you choose how both of these children turn out.
