It's a common belief that Chara fell into the Underground because they were trying to commit suicide. Hell, it's a common belief that they jumped into the Underground.

But the pictures that show in Undertale's into depict Chara running around the base of Mt. Ebott, when their foot got tangled in the roots clinging to the rocks, and they fell into the darkness. It definitely didn't look like they were trying to kill themselves.

Just a thought, but what if instead of trying to commit suicide, they were trying to run away? It's possible that they never intended to fall down that giant hole.

Not just that, but if Chara was the first human to fall into the Underground, then there wouldn't have been any disappearances around Mt. Ebott. They wouldn't have known that climbing Mt. Ebott could lead to their death.
