A video explaining why I use Patreon and why I'd so massively appreciate it if you'd like to contribute: • My Last Ever Video? UN...
After exactly 1,532,742 comments were posted on my previous video explaining to me that Chara isn't evil, I felt compelled to make another video that showed I didn't really think she was. That isn't this video, it was another one. Anyhow, this time I'll try and answer the question as to just what Chara is exactly, and whether they're good or evil. The answer may surprise you! Or maybe you'll just click off halfway through.
Underlab explores the secrets and obscurities of UNDERTALE, that game everyone seems obsessed with. There's a lot of said secrets and obscurities. Like, a lot. It also showcases and explains the lore and story of the game in an attempt to explain, clarify, and perhaps even discover completely new stuff...

Here's a much more simpler answer.
Chara's a human.
Woah!
thats...is a really good answer actually.
Anyone who tries to over-analyse things is pretty insane really
i t ' s a f i c t i o n a l g a m e .
People over-analyze things all the time and not just with video games either. Not every answer is a simple one.
Lucas Martinez true, very true. But over-analizing is cool.
I feel like you are missing something here. I definitely agree that the Chara who fell down and became friends with Asriel was not evil, but the Chara at the end of the Genocide run is the same Chara, just without a soul. This is why they ask you to give them your soul if you want to play the game again, and if you complete a second genocide run, Chara does say that they did not have a soul before your encounter. I think that Chara alone is not evil, but just like Asriel, when they lost their soul, they become emotionless.
@iambadatgames *they, Chara isn't He or She or maybe It, they are genderless, and why the fuck would a genderless child be Bisexual?
Obviesly not true
Chara knows about the timelines and has been doing this over and over and over and erased the literally pointless world and grabbed an useless soul that doesent do shit and can recreate the world again over and over
*ok then*
@@r4k4__ Wrong, Chara has a grudge against everyone, she sees them as a enemy. Also, she calls you her "partner", its only if you dont want to eradicate the world she acts violently
I like the explanation that Chara is the narrator, whatever path you choose. If you choose to kill, they become violent. If you choose not to kill, they're much friendlier, although still snarky at times.

but one question remains, why does Chara love chocolate??
Frostbitewarrior Honestly, who wouldn't like chocolate?
-_- idk
The real question is why wouldn't she like chocolate?
*IT'S FUCKING DELICIOUS, DUH*
Because she is a child
I've made a theory about Chara Dreemurr!!
Well, I've reached an understanding on who she is as a character.
Okay. . . a month ago,
I thought that Chara was NOT the villian.
I was sure Chara was a good person, and it was the players fault for teaching her to kill. . .
However, I learned that there is much evidence of Chara being the bad guy through genocide, BUT there is also evidence of Chara being the good guy in pacifist.
I realised that Chara is bad, but she is NOT bad either. . . . . . um. . let me try to explain.
Here is my theory/understanding of the story:
Chara was abused on the surface by humans.
(I WOULD go into more detail about that, but let's just keep it simple.)
Chara was abused and bullied on the surface by humans, that explains Chara 's hatred towards humanity. Because of her bad experiences, Chara became who we thought she was, a "mean, murderous child" , she decides to run away and climb up a mountain, called Mt. Ebbot. She falls(intentionally?) and nearly kills herself. If it weren't for Asriel, Chara would have been dead. Chara was raised by the dreemurrs. . . but Chara wasn't the greatest child. She bullied Asriel ("I always was a crybaby, wasn't I Chara?", "Hey, quit tricking me. . .heheh. . ." - Asriel) called him a crybaby multiple times. She was in a grumpy mood most of the time, depressed, hurt and alone. However, Chara grew attached to Asriel. Chara was a bad kid, because of her childhood. . . but she developed a weakness for the Dreemurr family, especially Asriel. They were. . . different. . . from her human family on the surface. Later, Chara realised buttercups were deadly, laughed off Asgore's pain, but meanwhile developed a plan. As Toriel mentioned in the True Pacifist ending, there IS a peaceful way to break the barrier. You would have to take ONE soul from a human, cross the barrier, and take 6 more souls from humans at the surface that had ALREADY DIED(human souls persist after death). Then, come back and free everyone peacefully. Chara thought about that plan first, BEFORE Toriel. She, knowing she was a human, killed herself by poisoning herself with buttercups. Asriel took Chara's soul, crossed the barrier, and carried out the plan. Asriel would look for humans that already died and use their soul to break the barrier. Chara didn't care about the other monsters in the underground. She didn't care about the lives of humans or monsters. . as long as she could SAVE Asriel, she was happy. You know how the story goes, Asriel dies. . . Toriel buries Chara's body in the RUINS and the buttercup seeds in her body grow into a garden where Frisk falls.
That's Chara's backstory. As I said. . . Chara WAS a bad kid. . . but, she developed a soft spot for Asriel.
Chara DID want to kill everyone, Chara's determination was that of hurt and pain. She thought that the only way to live life was to hurt others. . . Even Asriel admits this.
Frisk's DETERMINATION awakes Chara. Chara follows Frisk throughout the game, in order to keep herself alive through Frisk/the player's determination.
THIS IS WHY Flowey mistook Frisk for Chara. Frisk had DETERMINATION. Chara ALSO had determination. Frisk's determination reminded Flowey of Chara.
Anyways, in the pacifist run , Chara helps keep you determined by transfering her memories of her family's words on her death bed to you , "You are the future of humans and monsters! Chara! Stay determined!" -Asgore. because she knows, if Frisk dies, she will die too. Because Chara lives off of Frisk's determination.
All Chara thinks about is "Kill or be killed",
but in the pacifist run, the PLAYER teaches Chara MERCY. Chara learns to FORGIVE, to love, to SAVE, because of Frisk's kindness.
In the end of the run, it was CHARA who SAVED Asriel. Frisk saves their friends by reminding them of the happy moments they had together. . . But to save Asriel? All Asriel ever did to Frisk was kill them, hurt them, threaten them and murder their friends. Frisk could NOT save Asriel. Frisk was UNCAPABLE of saving Asriel.
Suddenly, Chara comes in, and reminds Asriel of the day he saved her life. Chara was the one who saved Asriel. You taught Chara kindness. You taught her how to SAVE others.
In genocide, when you kill everyone, Chara agrees with your actions. Together, you eradicate the enemy. In the end, Chara says "Since when were you the one in control??"
But. . . when Flowey came in, Flowey BEGS Chara to spare their life. Chara is in control now. But. . . you realise Chara is hesitating. Like I said, Chara had a weak spot for Asriel, in the pacifist run. . . she wanted to SAVE Asriel. When Asriel the flower begs for his life and reminds Chara of the good times they had together, Chara hesitates. . . and YOU, THE PLAYER have to press the button. That second where Chara hesitated to kill her best friend, it was your last chance to quit the game and reset. There would be no consequences.
The PLAYER hits the button to kill Asriel.
If you do a pacifist run after killing Asriel, Chara has your soul. You save your friends and go to the surface. But. . . the surface is the only place that the PLAYER has NO CONTROL over. Once the game ends, you see Chara's face appear on Frisk.
Chara is in control of Frisk now. She has the power to destroy humanity, because you have already broken the barrier and given her your soul. You just HAD to do genocide, didn't you?
So, in summary. . .
Chara was evil. Chara hated humanity. She hated monsters. But, she began to love the Dreemurr family, especially Asriel.
If you do pacifist, you teach the mean, murderous Chara how to love others, to forgive and forget. You taught her how to show mercy and kindness.
Chara SAVES her best friend in the end, and you reunite the long lost siblings.
If you do genocide, Chara agrees with your actions. She follows along with you until the end. She takes your soul. Let's you do true pacifist again, waits till you reach the surface before she takes control of Frisk and the game ends, never being the same again.
So. . . PACIFIST IS WAAAAAAY better than genocide.
I wonder if people actually took the time to read this, thank you. . . whoever cared enough to read all of this, thank you very much!! XD
-Fantasy is my Reality- FINALLY!!! Finally I found someone who shares my vision!!! But to be honest I never thought about when you teach Chara mercy, or They (or SHE if you like) were abused on the Surface! I thought They/She always had mental issues!
Tudor Morar Lol. . . you don't think deep enough then. Toby Fox is all about depth, which I love. I as an individual see so much depth everywhere in the game.
Well, let's start then.
In Genocide, "*It's me, Chara" appears in the same font, color AND sound as the narration for everything else in the game, like *It's a watersausage! *It's Just a regular wall *Keep attacking, he can't dodge forever, ect. Therefore, we can say that Chara is the narrator of the Story. Since Chara follows Frisk throughout the game, they translate Froggit language, gives us tips on how to fight monsters, ect.
Knowing this. . . lets get to the point. In the RUINS, you can find a faded ribbon with the narration saying
* *If you're cuter, monsters may not hit you as hard.*
That. . . is a pretty suspicious statement from Chara. Monsters may not hit you as hard. Have humans hit her harder than monsters have? Would humans on the surface hit Chara often? That's why Chara wears make up, in order to look cuter. . . so people might not hit them as hard?
At the end of true pacifist, Asriel states, "Chara climbed the mountain for an unhappy reason." "Chara said they hated humanity, though they refused to tell me why."
Putting all these pieces together,
-Chara hints that humans may have hit her often on the surface
-Chara climbed the mountain for an unhappy reason(possibly to commit suicide from the abuse)
-Chara hated humanity because of this. Learning what they did to the monsters they loved made Chara hate humans even more.
Don't just blindly assume they have mental issues. Use canon evidence from the game to support your statement. It's Toby Fox man. His Characters are way more complex than just "She has mental issues. . that's it"
-Fantasy is my Reality- I read it all! It was an amazing thought!
-Fantasy is my Reality- I read it all.I don't agree with the genocide part but the rest was thought into deeply
-Fantasy is my Reality- chara is evil in geno and nice in pacifist
Undertale doesn't need a vilain.
I believe Chara's morals just depends of th path you take.
No, Chara's morals get WORSE depending on the path you take, Asriel said chara was never a good person(note: he didn't say they were a bad person, just not a good person.)
+Davi Aiex Heleno no one in this entire game us a good person (yes.even papyrus)
Cant say i completely agree but it is reasonable
Here are undertale's villains:
Flowey
Toriel
Papyrus
Undyne
Mettaton
Asgore
Just because they eventually get redeemed it doesn't mean that they aren't the villains of the game, because they are.
***** They're not villains because they "did somethinh wrong", that's not what a villain is. They're villains because they're trying to stop you, the protagonist, from reaching your goal. That's what a villain is. I don't think you even read my comment actually, because it seems like you're talking like if I said that Chara was the villain even thought I didn't even mention their name in my comment.
Flowey, Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne and Mettaton all did get out of their way to try to murder Frisk. You don't need to do some huge "IMMA CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD MUAHAHA" to be a villain, if you straight up tried to kill someone that's kind of a villanous thing to do, specially if they're just an innocent child. And just because they were villains it doesn't mean that they're "evil" or can't be redeemed, that's the whole message of UNDERTALE, mercy and forgiveness.
Chara, however, can still be considered a villain, or at least an unintentional villain, depending on your run and how you see things, if it wasn't for Chara, Asgore wouldn't even have tried to get the human souls, Chara was the spark that lit up the battle of humans and monsters. And, if you're in a genocide run, Chara is definetly a villain, you were counting on them to be there by your side and be your partner, and in the end they betray you and murder you.(and don't come up with all that bullshit that Chara was doing justice or anything because there's a bunch of stuff proving otherwise)
Chara was the very first fallen child, who sacrificed herself for the monsters. But died. She is a ghost that follows frisk. She is not the villain.
she didn’t sacrifice for the monsters
@@Kyuubey0406 did she even sacrifice herself
@@Kyuubey0406 chara had a plan with asriel to use their soul and help asriel absorb their soul and six others to break the barrier and seal the monsters.
The only person chara killed was Themselves. And the plan ended with both chara and asriel dying
Blame goes to humans who kill what they dont understand
@@mongus8445 i guess i see your point

"You and I are not the same, are we?
There is a reason you continue to recreate this world.
There is a reason you continue to destroy it.
You.
You are wracked with a perverted sentimentality.
Hmm.
I cannot understand these feelings anymore.
However.
I feel obligated to suggest.
Should you choose to recreate this world once more.
Another path might be better suited."
- Chara, end of Third Genocide Route
"I can not understand these feelings ANYMORE" implying that they once did but not anymore after taking your soul
الحسن يوسف
"You and I are not the same, are we?" Implying that this said feeling makes you different than them.
Salvo il Commentatore they only say that after we give them our souls in exchange for the world so they are no longer soulless in soulless genocide "I can't understand these feelings ANYMORE"
الحسن يوسف
With or without Frisk's soul, Chara is still like if they were soulless after a genocide run. Remember what happens when Flowey takes the human souls? He becomes powerful, but he can't still feel anything. You need to save him before he can feel again.
Salvo il Commentatore
-no asriel geined the ability to feel the moment he absorbed the monsters' souls "you know I don't care about destroying this world anymore"
by SAVEing him you just trigger these feelings by showing him what he is doing.
-maybe soulless creatures needs to absorb a soul from a member from the same biological species to feel?
What if Jerry was behind everything?
I DID IT!!!
Hahahahahaah
Lol he probably is tbh
* I knew it .
Because he is.
That fucking piece of shit
heres a theory:
Chara's intentions always match that of the player. In the pacifist route Chara helps you SAVE asriel by helping him remember their friendship. If you do genocide then she also has the intention f killing. When she says, our plan had failed, shes talking about the pacifist route you reset so the plan to free monsters failed. If you choose to not erase the world Chara is confused as to why you showed her that killing is right and why you forced her to help you as when you begin the game, you awaken her by naming the starting character. If you do a second genocide route, then she discourages you from doing another genocide route and she calls herself the deamon that comes when people call its name. By killing everyone you are calling Charas evil side to you. You put that energy into chara depending on which route you do.
but idk, stuff...
-just postin somethin- Our plan had failed was the plan Asriel And Chara had, well, Chara, had.
CHARA IS NOT A FUCKING GIRL. Chara has no gender, idiot. It's a THEY/THEM, IT'S UP TO THE PLAYER TO DECIDE, GOT THAT IN YOUR TINY BRAIN? THEMMMM. Not he, not she, THEM. Rosy cheeks have NOTHING to do with gender, boys can have it too. THEIR hair is not even that long. You can't argue with Toby Fox.
Ignorant people trigger me.
But how do you explain the souless pacifist route?
Mr Mirror I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I actually usually call them THEM, but its just that in a lot of the Chara theories I've been watching Chara is refferd to as SHE so I got in my head. I didn't mean anything by it. Also, I think its cool how passionate you are about this game. :)
Mr Mirror If Chara's gender is up to the player to decide (WHICH IT IS) then why are you so pissed about someone deciding Chara's gender?
7:30 "please don't kill me" says Flowey with Asriel's voice.
That’s why I hesitated on killing him😅
Well, he did try to kill frisk (who she share her body with chara) and try to make her go on a genocide path and don’t forget about what he said at the end of pasfist.

@@Kyuubey0406 It affects Chara actually, they quite literally say this at the end of the genocide run.
@@koolkid9119 Chara wasnt the one going through it im pretty sure she only said it made her wake up or something, i'd have to redo genocide.
Make sure to watch to the end of this one! I tried to cover every angle on Chara as to not disappoint (and my own take on her is in there too, of course)!
Whats your favourite AU, mines Underswap.
Just because they have flushed cheeks doesn't mean that they are automatically female!
Also, it was the player's influence that drove Chara to believe the rules of the world is killing is the best option.
+Rachel Harmer i agree
Wow totally not copying what i said earlier
When you gain LV or LOVE, It’s not given to you. It’s given to chara. Notice how it next to her name and not yours. Maybe that is why they erase the world on the genocide path. They have a level of violence of 20, they can kill the king of monsters with ease. Even if he potentially absorbed the 6 human souls. They become a god of absolute destruction or as they call it, “the demon that comes when you call it’s name”
@E -Elol i dont remember this comment at all lmao
* Greetings . I don't remember frisk or I gaining any LV and the demon that comes when you call it's name is just super cool that's why .
So my first route Chara was "Luci"
@Apple Pencil Or demon could just mean... a demon in the "evil", there isn't really much thinking for that one and what friends exactly, Asriel and..? I mean at the end since Frisk/the player is the one that makes all choices, Chara is not their friends by that logic because they never get to interact properly nor have a free will on deciding who are their friends, they are Frisk's friends. And that Toby's statement would be good if it wasn't for the fact that at the end Toby said "No characters are bad nor good, except for Jerry" which is most likely to be a joke.
Yes
Isn't it obvious? The true villain of Undertale is...
It's JERRY
Omg lol
Its obvious it's...

@@extica6975 Chara was never innocent.
@@extica6975 Yeah
A BIG GIANT shoutout to all pepole that noticed the fact that at the line "Please don't kill me." from Flowey on the genocide path sounds like Asriel.
Yea chara struggled at killing flowey
Because Flowey IS Asriel. Asriel died and therefore doesnt have a soul. She was re created as a flower
@@TheReal_ProtoFox im 8 months late but asriel is a he ( and Chara is a they, just like Frisk )
6:10 “Yes, it was for a justified and good reason, but it does still involve the deaths of six potential innocents! I think it’s highly debatable how morally good committing an act like that is, and it’s certainly something Toriel wouldn’t agree with!”
False. Toriel herself suggests this idea to Asgore at the end of a pacifist playthrough.
“If you really wanted to free our kind, you could’ve gone through the barrier after you got one soul, taken six souls from the humans, then come back and freed everyone peacefully.”
True
Actually she says that he could have taken six souls from people THAT ARE ALREADY DEAD. Remember, human souls have the power to keep existing after death. She did not want him to go and actively kill humans.
*THAT'S BASICALLY CHARA'S IDEA*
"but those cheeks suggest she's a girl!"
Those cheeks are also interpreted as mummification, so I prefer to think of them as androgynous unless Toby fox confirms otherwise.
Cheeks from mummification how?
Can you explain pls? I searched for this information and i never found something like that.
@@nikocz88 When the Egyptians mundified people they noticed the skin would get all gross so they put make up like stuff on the mummies to make them look less gross
@@rubix3922 oh thx, i was waiting a really long time for this.
But this only applies if chara was buried or mummified in an old egypthian way
6:15
In the true pacifist run, Toriel says that Asgore could've just taken one soul to cross the barrier, collect six souls from the humans and then free everyone from the underground peacefully. So with what Asriel and Chara were doing.. Isn't that basically what Toriel was saying? Sorry, I don't wanna start a war, I'm just sayin'...
considering how much chara take after tori, they might have gotten the idea for HER...
TIMELINE *ERAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEE*
Espeon Minecraft_YT *THERE WAS NOTHING LEEEEEEFT
tori is just an asshole
no u
Asriel : tries to kill friends like a twice
Fandom : *forgiveness*
Chara who tried to save monsters and hated humanity with reason and was tired of life : hey what's u-
Fandom : *NOISES OF ANGERY*
True. Because the writings in waterfall suggest that no Human had ever fallen into the Underground it means Chara was alive after the theory of a human absorbing a boss monster soul became a thing and this bit of information never matters throughout the entire game since frisk never absorbs any souls which means that this piece of information has another reason for existing which is to show that Chara didn't have to end themselves and if they truly didn't care about Monsters they could have just killed one of the Dreemurr family and tried to take their soul.
Chara also tried to kill humans.
Fandom worships Chara. They hate those who happen to disagree.
@@spefor-rx I think that's called self-preservation, after all they are going to kill them soon
Let's see you say the same when Satan blasts you with a rainbow Bazooka
your videos are the best of all the undertale analysis/theory stuff. really like your coverage and ideas about everything without necessarily trying to convince us, as the viewer. I also think that you understand more than most the reasoning behind certain details in the game. cheers for the content my guy
Also, your asking if the CHARActer (lol) at the end of the genocide truely is Chara..
Yes, yes she is.
She even says herself, "Greetings, I am Chara"
You notice... that's the same thing Toriel says when she meets Frisk, "Greetings, I am Toriel"
Flowey and Asgore also say "Howdy"
Chara's got a green and yellow striped shirt.
Asriel also has a green and yellow striped shirt.
I don't really understand why you think the character at the end of genocide is NOT Chara...
Actually you are very wrong because if you name the fallen human huuuman it will say "greetings I'm huuuman"
@@Ihatedumbasses yes, but the TRUE NAME is Chara, heck, if you name the fallen human "Chara" it says "The true name"
@@Amber7H yeah but that doesn't mean like for that maybe the true name for the old fallen child not that
@Aubree Elliott the nines are everything thats why you see SO MUCH NINES STOP WITH THE FRIGGIN' NINES!!!!!!!!
@@Ihatedumbasses when you name "the fallen human" you are not naming your character as you find out in true pacifist, really you named the original fallen human (Chara). Because Asriel realizes that you aren't Chara, you are Frisk. So if you make the name huuuman, Chara is now huuuman. Also when you name the fallen human Chara it says "the true name". (Sorry for giving you an essay, but I felt the need to explain).
Chara is just a victim to human abuse. "She" was powerless and potentially tried to commit cuiside.
But ended up in the monster world. There "she" found peace and love.
But eventually the humans come back into the story.
That flipped Chara's personality to become more defending.
Causing "her" to do anything to destroy the humans.
First of all, I have not yet touched at Chara's death. I just focused on explaining Chara's actions while she was dead.
Second, dont use a capital letter for each word.
When she was alive*
+PugMasterMan123 Human abuse dous not exactly mean physical abuse
Also, this was MY theory. Just telling you.
Yeesh, calm down.
That kid that tried to save the monster by sacrifice himself
Sadly the fandom blame them
Yeah
yep
That’s asriel dreemur who tried to sacrifice, who is flowery btw. Chara is the humans who died normally
@@maryb4493 Huh? What do you mean- Chara ate those yellow flowers you see everywhere in the game because they knew that if Asriel absorbed Chara’s soul, he would be able to go through the barrier, kill some humans, and free the monsters. Chara killed themself to free the monsters
@trilokesh .k Chara has a reason for hating humanity. Humans have bullied and abused them which is why Chara fell down in the first place. You have to remember that Undertale is a game where everyone has a reason for doing things, and that they should receive mercy even if they did something horribly wrong. For example, Undyne tried to kill you because she’s loyal to her kind and she wants to free them. But in the pacifist route, you spare her anyways and become friends with her. Papyrus tried to capture you when you had one HP left, but like I said, in the pacifist route, you spare him and become friends with him. Chara is just a human. They have their own feelings and just like everyone else, they have their reason for doing things. I’m pretty sure if every human you ever met in your life has tormented and bullied you, you would probably also hate humanity. Cause I sure do.
You are hands-down the best Undertale channel on UA-cam. I recently discovered your channel (about three days ago) and I'm slowly going through every video you've posted. I've watched maybe twenty so far, and they're all awesome. Keep up the good work!
I see Chara as female and Frisk as male, but they've been deliberately left with no gender so that you could interpret them however you wanted.
MalikProductions Max LOL I remember what they say and they never says "she" watch a lets play k
say* my grammar sucks
They never say 'she'
Maybe they ment 'she' as in Toriel?
Frisk is a girl I know it because in the genocide route sans says lady
It's all up to interpretation isn't it? I see Chara as a girl and Frisk as a boy
Let's make a summary of every things that is canon:
-Chara hated humanity (no signs of why, don't make assumptions)
-climbed ebott cause they hated humanity
-accidentally poison their adoptive father
-killed themselves so Asriel can cross the barrier
That's it, there's nothing like they got abused or something maybe they witnessed mankind at it worse so they jumped.
Now let's get to what's happening in the game:
-they possessed Frisk
-you are supposed to be Chara, a lonely soul exploring a strange world
-the reason get to name Chara is to get your lazy ass in their shoes
-the 'narrator' is you/Chara, you are supposed to guide Frisk through the Underground
-the path you chose will determine who Chara is in the game, the pacifist path wil make Chara a positive, optimistic soul, the neutral path a normal soul, nothing special. The genocide path will separate you from Chara, reviving them, making them a sadistic and genocidial, as you can see in the final moment in the genocide path
Where is it implied that Chara "possesses" Frisk? Seems like Chara got stuck to follow Frisk around, and we the players proceed to show them the "right" path.
She flat out states that Frisk falling down awakened her, and the genocide route "showed" her the "true purpose", that she was "confused" when she first woke up with Frisk. She also discourages you from doing are more genocide runs, implying that she does not actively seek out destruction of the world.

One thing I find interesting is that in the Genocide route Chara basically says that when they came back from the dead, at first they we're so confused because their plan with Asriel failed and they both died, but "with your guidance" the player made them realize the purpose of their reincarnation which was "power" as Chara put it. This makes me think that you ARE talking to the real Chara at the end of genocide but corrupted by you.
Chara is the most Misunderstood Character in Undertale!
Anyone else thinks that,too?
Me
No,
All this crap with sans is worse.
count asgore too.
Me.
I think Chara and Asgore are.
I agree. **likes comment**
6:20 "Chara's plan is certainly something Toriel would never agree with"
Really??
Near the end of the true pacifist run, after Toriel stops Asgore from fighting you she *literally* says to Asgore: "You pathetic whelp. If you really wanted to free our kind, you could have gone through the barrier after you got ONE SOUL, taken six souls from the humans, then come back and freed everyone peacefully"
She FULLY agreed and even WANTED Asgore to go through with Chara's plan
I think she meant that 'if you HAD to do something quite evil, then at least do it RIGHT'
No charas plan involves they being killed,toriel would never agree with that,i think tori wanted to wait a human die from natural causes or accident and THEN free everyone
7:32 POV: you are my cat killing a moth
I think Chara, having a similar soul to Frisk, must've bonded with Frisk and was molded into what Frisk had become in the Genocide route: a heartless murderer.
When Chara takes Frisk's soul, she essentially becomes Genocide Frisk, a murderer that wants to destroy everything. Something that no subsequent Pacifist run can remedy because Chara and Frisk both share the same soul now.

O5-8 by its a risky subject knowing what can happen if you say something that upsets. ...them
I'm not sure why i thought Chara was the villain in the first place. Probably because everyone else said that they were.
Something else i want to bring up is when Chara laughs when Asgore is poisoned. In Undertale, smiling and laughing is used to cope with pain. Which might also explain why Chara was smiling when confronted by Flowey in the no mercy run.
I thing is the villain of the story and your just playing threw what frisk went threw
Chara killed Sans
When the Player wanted to do it themselves.
That is unforgivable
I think Chara is a kind-hearted and innocent child. Perhaps a bit troubled, yes, but innocent and sweet nonetheless. :)
Plus, she's only a human, and humans aren't perfect; we all have flaws.
I agree tbh
Well, in here, both monsters and humans have flaws. I mean, monsters aren’t all perfect too.
Wat
i agree. but no one listens.
Even the flaw of planning to kill 6 people
I've thought Chara had mental/emotional problems that made them have difficulty communicating with other humans, or emphatize with them. People tend to push individuals who are different than them away or try to fit them in stern unbreakable norms or ideas. Their life must've been hard before they fell, and I can't blame them. They'd probably seen the bad side of humanity more than the good side.
is a posibility, but theyr actions make them lose from morality spectrum, at this point it was theyr plan at this point, and make asriel doing these things and fore the sake of monster kind actually, but that only get things worst on the end and both of them dies, even thou chara have some emotional problems, but they still arn't saint at this point

I have a theory about chara
When you choose your name at the beginning the name is given to CHARA , in my theory you are chara , chara is player. Player is the one who controls frisk and makes them make their decisions. chara is good and bad
no, because at the end of genocide, chara talks to the player, this theory would imply chara is talking to themself

The first human is an interesting character because we get two really different explanations about them. On the one hand the story (or Undertale he he) told by the monsters in new home suggest that her/him and Asriel are perfectly happy best friends. But based on the information in the video tapes and by Asriel at the end of the game we get a different story. I like the idea that the version we hear about in New Home is Asgore's version which is uninformed (remember Asgore never listened to the tapes from the true lab) and the real story is very different than the ones the monsters live their lives by.
Honestly both theories (the first human being good/bad) are equally plausible and I think most people just lean towards the one they find more appealing in a story sense.
Dr. Madd I absolutely loved reading this 👍💯💕
Dr. Madd My personal opinion is that Chara is a very adaptive person; the way she's treated (yes I see Chara as a girl, okay?) reflects on her personality. She was most likely abused and/or mistreated in the surface, leading to her hating humanity and becoming somewhat mean. However, when she's adopted by Dreemurrs who treat her nicely, she becomes nicer as well.
This is seen during the game too: Being a pacifist makes her friendly, while killing everyone turns her evil.
Mikael Britschgi YESSS SOMEONE GETS IT
Mikael Britschgi and in the end when you refuse to erase she’s really confused cause she thought we were doing it for a greater good like power, and not sheer curiosity.
SoulCat Productions Exactly! She could also be pissed off, as she realizes you did it for curiosity but are too afraid to face the consequences, so she forces you to bend to her will by erasing the world herself.
Sure, Chara may be morally...
...Challenged...
But, that doesn't mean she's necessarily BAD. She was probably abused and mistreated by her peers, or even PARENTS!
Or Chara could have suffered some sort of severe mental illness or PTSD.
I'm sure with enough talking and comforting, you could convince Chara to lay down her weapon. I'm sure deep down, Chara has the potential to be a good, likeable person.
The Dreemurr family loved Chara very deeply, and were DEVASTATED when she died. Bringing this up, showing her the locket, and showing mercy might just get her to reconsider.
Because she knows, deep down...
...She loves them too.
I understand what Chara goes through in real life I don't have loving parents and everyone at school hates me they all blame a girl actions on me

My opinion of Chara:
Humanity sucks. Chara hated humanity, so Chara climbed Mt. Ebbot to get away from all of humanity. However, they accidentally fell into the Underground. When they started meeting all the monsters, they realized how nice and kind monsters were compared to humans. Chara became an honorary monster, pretty much- they hated humans and wanted then to die, but loved their fellow monsters. However, they were still a little rough around the edges after getting tossed around by humanity, but inside, they really and truly loved the ones they cared about. They loved them so much that they were willing to commit suicide in order to free the monsters. Unfortunately, Asriel's gentle nature caused the plan to fail, and both of them died.
Skip forward some years. Frisk falls into the Underground. It's unknown why, but once they do, their immense distrust and/or hatred of monsters causes them to start killing every monster in sight. Their souls gets more and more powerful along the way, gaining more and more determination as time goes on. And with their final kill (Flowey), their soul is so strong that some of the determination splits off and goes into Chara, bringing them back to life. Chara recognizes the fact that everyone they loved, Toriel, Asgore, even Asriel... is dead. Because of this, they consider the world to be pointless, and force you to destroy it. After some time of you both reconsidering, Chara decides to bring the world back, but more importantly, bring the monsters back. To prevent you from forgetting about your deal, and to be able to go on an adventure of their own once more, Chara takes your soul as their own, then does the equivalent of a true reset. They then go on whatever pathway you go on after that.
My point I'm trying to make is that Chara was just another person who was sick and tired of humanity, not some kind of serial murderer.
i mostly agree, but chara did not "accidently" fall, at the end of pacifist, if you go back, asriel says "it wasn't a very happy reason"
implying they tried to commit SUICIDE
Nørsk1 and it was the players choice that frisk or I call the souled puppet killed all the monsters no humanity’s just sucks
That sound like something a human or zexno or rouge robot would say
She or he. They means more than one and Chara is not splitting personalities.
Actually they ware woken up when you fell.
Beacause she narrates over everything.
You have 85k now! It's weird that you had less than this once. Keep up the good work!
Did anybody else notice that Flowey's last line on the genocide path sounds like Asriel?
Y' know, the "Please don't kill me." line.
a lot of people think chara is the villain if undertale, but they should look at the other CHARActers! (pun intended) I mean, toriel basically kidnaps children and leaves a suicidal man to run an entire hopeless kingdom, sans threatens innocent children with death threats when they've done nothing wrong. papyrus, well, ok, papyrus is free of sin. but undyne, she chases you through the entirety of waterfall, spears waving, as she screams at the top of her lungs: THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU HUMANS WERE JUST DEAD!!! alphys manipulates situations to make herself look better. plus she created the amalgamates. mtt literally says he planned on killing you himself just so that he could be popular on the surface! asgore, oh asgore. he KILLED 7 human children and planned on killing frisk too! flowey, I don't think I need to go into too much detail on why he's evil, but if you need a little bit more of a nudge, he literally killed everyone, in every timeline, in every possible way. FOR FUN. and chara, they only killed one person. themselves. to free everyone from the underground and spare their family from having to be the sacrifice. I think that wraps this up. and, I don't hate undertale, it's actually my favorite video game. and i'm not trying to be a critic either. i'm just showing you that NO ONE IS PERFECT. asriel says that chara isn't the best person, but MK says the same about undyne. chara isn't the villain. in undertale, no one needs to be the villain. it's you that presses fight or mercy. everyone else gets a happy endung, so don't you think chara deserves one too? oh, and before you go into: "but they called themselves the demon! surely that makes them the villain of undertale!" yeah, well, asriel calls himself the ABSOLUTE GOD OF HYPER DEATH!!! and no one bats an eye before forgiving him.
Lol you copied judgement boy.
This was really nice to watch :) something I think that would have been really nice for you to include is the theory that Chara climbed Mt. Ebott to commit suicide. It's a really good angle to look at Chara's character from, especially when it's heavily implied that both Chara and Frisk climbed for just that reason, mainly implied by Asriel's dialogue at the end of a pacifist route. Something I really would have liked to see you address more Is Chara and Frisk's gender and why you think they're female (besides the cheeks). That may not have too much to do with this topic, although I think that may have been worth a mention.
Yep, I looked back on the video and realised I could have and probably should have talked about those things! I'll try and explain myself in a comment.
I definitely think Chara at the very least climbed the mountain to potentially commit suicide. She seems to be a very tragic character who likely never had any friends until she met Asriel. As for Frisk, I believe the player is supposed to decide his motives for climbing Mt. Ebott (naturally, I think he was going for the world record for climbing Mt. Ebott the fastest, being a professional mountain climber and all).
As for why I called Chara a girl, I admit it's little more than my head canon. The cheeks suggest they're feminine and the name just strikes me as belonging to a girl, even though it's completely made up! I honestly thought it would be tedious if I kept calling them "it" and "them" as well lol, so I thought I may as well stick with calling her a girl. Oh, and for Frisk, I believe he/she is whatever gender the player believes they are, most likely the same as the person playing (I think of Frisk as a he)!
Hope I cleared that up!
That did clear some stuff up! I'd really like to know about that mountain climber theory of yours though! Is there any evidence to that in game or on promotional things or stuff Toby said? That's a really interesting take on it and if like to know the reasoning behind it. Also, since you've brought up that Frusk has a profession in the human world, do you not believe that Frisk is a child? Do you think they're old enough to get a job and become a professional mountain climber? This is really interesting me :)
Frisk*
Also, I don't know if this is too tragic to bring up, but I thought about it after I posted that comment. I saw a theory once somewhere that Chara was being abused by their human family, hinted at by their hatred for humans, their desires to kill themselves on Mt. Ebott, their joy of finally finding a real family in the Dreemurs, and my favorite piece of evidence for this of is the flavor text on the faded ribbon that says "If you're cuter, monsters won't hit you as hard", suggesting that Chara, if you use the Chara as narrator theory, knows this from experience. Thoughts?
Hehe, I was only joking about him (or her) being a mountain climber! I just wanted to show how his motives could be anything the player believes them to be 8)
As for deriving lore from item descriptions... I admit I've had an aversion to that ever since Dark Souls packed the entirety of its story within its items! That's very interesting though, and is certainly a possibility. I doubt Chara was depressed for no reason, after all. I guess we can never know for certain!
I think Chara just went crazy after seeing you kill everyone they love, or she hasnt found peace yet leaving her to having the choice to eradicate the world...

NEW THEORY FRISK IS LEFT HANDED
Ejquiqui *LE GASP*
*GASP*
Ok
I make frisk right handed and chara left handed
"With your guidance, I realized the purpose of my reincarnation"
In order for Chara to destroy the world, you, Frisk, had to have...
- Exhausted the kill counter in every area. This means you had to go out of your way to scour areas and murder everything until there's nothing left.
- Killed every single mini boss and boss
- Killed people who didn't even want to fight, like Papyrus and Glad Dummy
- Tried to kill Monster Kid
You monster...
If you spared even one unique character, or even just didn't go out of your way to kill every goddamn thing in an area, and showed the slightest hint of having mercy, the reincarnated Chara inside you does not destroy the world. Your level of violence can be all the way up to 19, and this doesn't happen. But you just had to murder absolutely every last thing you could, didn't you? You're the one who taught Chara's purpose for coming back. You monster...
Ok ok let me get this straight...because I wanted a harder challenge and picked to kill all of them I am the monster? I was literally just playing the game how it’s suppose to be played and am the villain? That’s kidda mean...

all you have to do is look at all the narrators quotes...don't think Charas the narrator?
Well why does it say "Its You!" if Frisk is narrating? or it can say "Its me, Chara" as well...100% confirmed :P
I don't think that he ever said that Frisk was the narrator?
Sorry if he did, I wasn't paying attention to the video alot
@@commandercornflakes3786 he didn't say it, but there is a lot of evidence that the whole time the narrator was Chara.
@@RayOfTruth yup i think thats true
I think it happens because: When you are at the house, Chara is focusing on their own memories, speaking as if they're just with Toriel, Asgore and Asriel, then it would not make sense if in the mirror narration said: "It's you" or something like that, because its Chara's memorys
(Sorry for my bad english, this is not my language)
It could be two different people narrating. A 3rd person narrator for Frisk and Chara starting to take over, even the narrating, in the genocide route.
It's so aggravating somehow to hear them called she. Same with napstablook being called he.
Now u have 106k sub! I'm not surprised! Your so good at your theory's!
DUDE I STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS TODAY...AND NOW IM COMPLETLY HOOKED
Chara isn't evil, but they're not necessarily good either, they're not a good person as stated by Asriel, but I wouldn't say that they're evil 'cause being pure evil in undertale is just bullshit. I also believe the whole "Chara climbed mount Ebott to kill themself" is bullshit too because if you go on the undertale kickstarter page it says that the human climbed mount Ebott because of a storm, but they got curious because of the massive hole in the middle of the cave and went to check it out but they tripped and fell
I'd be interested in seeing a link or screenshot of this. Otherwise I'm not going to believe it.
Here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1002143342/undertale/description
It says there in the page.
Davi Aiex Heleno Hmm... that is very interesting, somehow I've never seen that before. However, although it may be true that Chara went into the cave to seek shelter from the storm, it still doesn't give a reason as to why they climbed the mountain in the first place (and on a stormy day, no less. Not exactly an ideal day for mountain climbing, is it?). I still think that there is definitely a possibility that Chara climbed the mountain to run away from a bad situation/ possibly with suicide in mind. Then it started to rain so they went into the cave and either A. walked over to the hole because they were truly curious, or B. walked over to the hole because it looked like a possible option for suicide. I'm leaning more toward the first option here though. My opinion is that Chara climbed the mountain to run away, kind of wanting to die but also kind of scared. It started to rain, they went into the cave for shelter, they discovered the hole because they were curious, and then tripped and fell in, which ironically nearly fulfilled their suicide wish. That's just my opinion though. Also, thanks for giving me the link! It helped enlighten me a bit.
Maybe Chara lived close to the mountain, or they were playing hide and seek with another kid, or maybe Chara was being chased because they made something bad or because a bad person was chasing them, tho your idea is cool too. And you're welcome! :D
After Asriel breaks the barrier, you can go all the way back to where you fell and chat with him. He says, "I know why Chara climbed the mountain. It wasn't for a very happy reason." That sounds like suicide to me.
you deserve WAY more subscribers. Keep up the good work!
I realize that this was made 4 years ago but this will helped me make a new video. So thank you
Hey underlab I love your channel and your ideas 💡 I love to see more
It's kind of frustrating seeing Chara painted as the victim or as a morally good character. It was one theory that picked up steam. I'll gladly stick to the old theory of a child who hates their own race for some unexplained reason that's open to interpretation. Everything in the game about Chara points to them not liking humans, and indeed, based on how Asriel talks about it, it's more likely that Chara wanted to completely genocide the town asriel went to than simple self defense. A mixture of self-preservation, hate, anger, and a desire to see the monsters rule the earth. Depending on your side of the barrier, Chara is either an angel of justice, or a vile demon.
chaincat33 Chara is human, they don't have to be an angel or a demon. Humans make mistakes and sins just like me and you, but humans are quite the jerks in Undertale anyway.
So I'm not surprised that Chara hated humanity, but loves monsterkind, because they gave her a home and kindness.
@@nuthapot And if Chara was a Demon, Demons work for Devils which would make the player the Devil of Undertale
@memelord and Chara isn't
@memelord People say Chara is Evil because they killed/destroyed the world....yes they did destroy it but did it matter, I mean the Player did just murder everyone!
@memelord Chara is confused if The Player keeps doing genocide
In-game, LOVE is described as a corrupting force that makes you insensitive to killing. Remind me, whose name is next to the stat bar?
It’s entirely possible that the “Chara” we meet on the Genocide path is just filled with LOVE, and is no more reminiscent of the first child’s true nature than, say, Flowey is of Asriel. After all, the game drops quite a few hints that Chara is the narrator, and their mannerisms and speech patterns are _entirely different_ than “the Fallen Child.”
congrats for over 150K subs:3
Can I say something? Chara is just a child. Why are people blaming her? Asriel said Chara wasn’t the BEST PERSON. No one is perfect. You all should pay attention to the game a bit more.
Maybe because Toby fox said himself that chara was evil
"You all should pay attention to the game a bit more"
.-. I did. I know that Chara isnt evil, nor the greatest person. So, YOU aren't the only one thinking that Chara is the greatest person, but she's a nice person.. At all, can you please not tell everyone this? Most people can have the same opinion

I Love Undertale, Your A Great Undertale YT Channel
I love how the whole message of the genocide run is "YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS!"
And people still blame Chara for killing everyone, because they don't want to be held accountable for their murders.
Actually, chara is the one to blame.
At least in the genocide path, chara is the narrator.
At the end of the genocide, they say: "Since when were YOU the one in control?"
That line could be interpreted to be directed at either us or frisk.
But that's not all.
Flowey outright tells us that we arent actually influencing the game in any way. We are watching it, according to him. Strange that nobody ever presents on of the bloodiest murders of the fourth wall in a game that breaks it so often it might as well not be there as evidence in this.
So, this is how the genocide route works, or at least my theory as to how it works:
Frisk falls into the underground. They kill monsters in self defense. Frisk decides to seek out and kill the obviously weaker monsters to eliminate a threat to their safety. They realize what they have done as they reach toriel's house. As they sleep in the room that once belonged(as far as we know from what lore their is) to Chara and Asriel, chara themself begins to reawaken. Their soul, which had laid dormant in the flower bed where frisk had fallen, and where asriel had died, had latched onto frisk's soul, having been attached by Frisk's sheer determination. Like a parasite, chara began feeding on Frisk's determination. And that night, chara awoke enough to influence Frisk. Even as Frisk decided they would never kill if they could avoid it, Chara took partial control of them, driving them to swing their weapon instead of sparing toriel. With every increase in the Frisk's LOVE, chara gained more control over them. Until they killed Sans, after which Chara gained complete control over Frisk. They used that control to kill the ones they had once known as their adoptive father and sibling, and that gave them enough power to manifest themselves in a material body, having drained both Frisk's determination and EXP to have sufficient power to destroy the entire world. The player watches all this, before using what little influence they genuinely have to force frisk and chara into the soul selling deal, initiating the process all over again, or causing the soulless pasifist or even just a neutral run.
miner frisk is a puppet and never had control the player controls frisk chara kills the player
Chara is and was whatever you believe them to be. That's why their behavior is so vague and unexplained. They are YOU. That's why they're supposed to have YOUR name, the name "Chara" is merely a placeholder for canonical reasons.
TD this is not correct. Chara is not meant to be you, you are another entity, the player. During a genocide run you lose control of the body, Frisk, and Chara gains control.
Something else I noticed while playing genocide:
When Chara takes control at the end of genocide, she shows no remorse for whoever is left. She kills asgore without even letting him finish his sentence, with no regret. However, when it’s Flowey’s turn to die, he goes through some text, some time before she swings her knife. Chara hesitates before killing him. When Flowey says “please…don’t…kill me…” she doesn’t immediately kill him after that, rather you, the player have to urge her on by pressing “Z” one last time. You can technically back out and reset the run in that last text saving you from the consequences of the genocide run. Chara gives you one last chance to take back your actions and save her best friend.
you made it to 100k good job
I've a theory, when asriel died on the flower bed, his and charas soul was still fused, and when brought back as flowey, charas essence still existed inside flowey, which caused him, now without a soul, to be susceptible to charas evil influence still within him. This is why when he takes all souls in the underground and becomes asriel again, the emotion and feeling of everyone filled asriel with emotion again, something chara didn't have.
Chara is pure malice, explaining why flowey is this way, asriels memories, charas twisted determination
The game implied that this was 100% his choice cuz if that were the case chara should have been back in a way too in pacifist
Strange, I could have sworn I'd "Liked" this video when I first saw it a couple of months ago, but now my "Like" seems to be gone. I've noticed that with a few other videos too. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you you have helped me with my research on the thearising a lot about Chara
This has almost nothing to relate to this video, but I've never seen anyone point it out and I need somewhere to type it or something.
So, when Chara fell, Asriel found them, right? There was a silhouette of Asriel looking at Chara who fell. This silhouette is the one on 1:59 on this video. That silhouette had horns, yet in the next frame Asriel clearly *doesn't* have horns.
Toby Fox, you messed up..
