everyone have the right of there free opinion...but....

why Chara?......why! I'm just going to point out that Chara is most likely not the psychopath everyone portrais them as.

She, as presented at the end of Genocide, does not entirely reflect her personality while alive. Keep in mind that she is soulless at that point, and the only reason why she was brought back to life was because of your determination. Sounds familiar? It's the same thing with Asriel being brought back to life as Flowey, and we know that Flowey does not reflect Asriel's personality at all.

Now, what do we know about Chara as alive? She hated humans (a behaviour most likely caused by the humans from her village), but it's not said that she hated monsters as well. In fact, there are plenty of things that suggest she may have really been attached to her family. Asriel says that Chara was the only one to understand him. Asgore says that much like Frisk, Chara also had the same feeling of hope in her eyes. It's also implied that Chara made the "King Dad" sweater, something which I doubt she would've done if she felt nothing for the Dreemurrs. Finally, we have the Heart Lockets, the symbol of friendship between Asriel and Chara.

The True Pacifist ending gives evidence towards this too. It's shown that even she became a better person after everyone went to the surface. Upon re-entering the game, Flowey asks Chara, not to Reset the timeline, what everyone has been working for. If the player does in fact leave the game be and not Reset it, that technically means Chara decided to leave everyone live their lives. As someone from Tumblr said: "Guide them well, they get the speech from Flowey. Guide them badly, they erase the world."

As a conclusion, the reason why I like her is that, as I said earlier, she wouldn't have got in the state she is for no reason. Something really bad must have happened in her life that made her hate humans and run away on Mt. Ebott. What it was, we may never know, but I can't help but feel sympathy for this child. She was, in fact, the one who probably suffered the most out of all and it's because of the people who finish Genocide that she becomes the ultimate psychopath.
