Advent

Chara looks strikingly similar to the protagonist. They both take an ambiguous gender,^[ane] and a "like way sense," as said past Asriel Dreemurr. Both appear to take been effectually the same age when they fell into the Underground. Chara'due south SOUL is also the same colour as the protagonist's, which is indicated by the cerise SOUL on Chara'south coffin.

At the finish of the Genocide Route, Chara is seen to exist wearing a lime and cream-colored striped shirt (which is an inverted color of the protagonist'due south shirt) and ruddy-chocolate-brown pants and shoes. Chara has peach skin and brownish hair, rosy cheeks, open brown eyes, and a grin that contrasts the protagonist's stoic expression.

Personality

Young ane, when I wait at you...
I'k reminded of the human that fell here long agone...
You have the same feeling of hope in your eyes.

Asgore'due south extended monologue if Flowey was killed in the previous run

While initially bandage in a sympathetic low-cal, Asriel admits at the end of the True Pacifist Route that Chara "...wasn't really the greatest person." Asriel states that Chara climbed Mount Ebott for an unhappy reason, and adds that Chara "hated humanity".

At the end of the Genocide Route, Chara behaves in a polite, formal, and terse manner. They give thanks the protagonist for education them the purpose of their reawakening: ability. Chara informs that their determination woke them from death when entering the Underground.

If the protagonist refuses to destroy the world, Chara's optics become wide, and rhetorically asks: "SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE Ane IN CONTROL?", before destroying it with corrupt laughter. In the abyss, Chara is blunt, and criticizes the protagonist: "You desire to get back to the earth you destroyed."

After a 2d Genocide Route, Chara expresses defoliation at the protagonist's "sentimentality," and states that they can no longer sympathise such emotions, implying that they, similar Flowey, have lacked a SOUL, and thus emotions, since their death.

Chief Story

Chara approaching the entrance to the Secret

Chara tin be first seen during the introduction scene of Undertale, climbing Mt. Ebott, tripping over a root and falling into the Underground. During the fight against Asriel, a continuation of this scene tin be seen, where Asriel helps Chara lift themself upwards later the autumn after hearing their call for help, and takes them to his parents for help.

Later, Chara was taken in by Toriel and Asgore equally a 2d child and was treated with respect equal to their biological son. Chara and Asriel became best friends, and monsters spoke of how Chara filled the Underground with hope.

I day, later on condign terminally ill from consuming buttercups, Chara expressed the desire to run into the Aureate Flowers establish in their home village. After their death, Chara'south SOUL was absorbed by Asriel, and they shared control over a body. Chara carried their own corpse across the barrier and wanted to use their full power to destroy the humans that were attacking them. Asriel resisted Chara, which ultimately led to the humans killing the fusion of the 2 SOULs.

Chara'south motives in this situation are uncertain. In the fourth True Lab record, Asriel says "Y...yes! We'll exist strong! We'll free anybody.", and in the fifth "Six, correct? We just take to get half dozen..." In the Genocide Route, Flowey tells Chara that they should finish what they started and free anybody. Flowey also adds, "And so... permit'due south let them see what humanity is REALLY like. That despite it all... This world is still 'kill or exist killed!!". Asriel tells the protagonist that he came upwardly with this philosophy because his resistance to Chara had led to both of them being killed. At the end of the Genocide Route, Chara says trivial about Asriel's resistance other than, "At starting time, I was so confused. Our plan had failed, hadn't it?" It can exist inferred, then, that Chara'south ingestion of the flowers was intentional, and done in order to requite Asriel access to the power of their soul so that Asriel could travel to the surface and collect the human souls needed to suspension the Bulwark and gratuitous the monsters.

Chara'southward body was originally laid to rest in a bury in the basement of the castle, where the bodies of the other fallen humans would later be put. When Toriel left Asgore, she carried Chara'south body to the Ruins and gave them a proper burial.

In the Genocide Route, Chara says that the protagonist's "determination" and "human soul" awakened them from expiry. There is bear witness to suggest that some narration, as well every bit descriptions of sure actions and events, is past Chara themself. However, the narrator throughout the entirety of Undertale is upwardly to speculation.

Neutral Route

When the protagonist gets a Game Over, Asgore's phonation is heard every bit he urges Chara to "stay determined." The messages seen on the game over screen are identical to what Asgore said to Chara while they were on their deathbed.

<Name>, huh? That'southward a dainty name. My name is[...]

Asriel Dreemurr introducing himself to Chara, in a reminiscence at the Garbage Dump

The protagonist as well hears Chara's name in their dreams. If the protagonist sleeps in the bed in Toriel's home, Asgore's voice can be heard equally he pleads, "<Name>, please... Wake up! You are the future of humans and monsters." When the protagonist first falls into the Garbage Dump, Asriel'south starting time words to Chara appear on the screen, narrated with Asriel'south vox byte.

True Pacifist Route

<Proper name>! Yous accept to stay determined! You can't surrender... Y'all are the future of humans and monsters...

VHS record recording of Asgore from the True Lab

The regal family with Chara, who is hiding behind a bouquet of flowers

In the True Lab, VHS tapes of Chara interacting with their family can be played back. None of these VHS tapes include visuals and provide narration alone. Most of these tapes are of Asriel and Chara, and bear witness that Chara had a "plan." In one of the tapes, Asriel tells Chara to wake upwardly and that "he doesn't like this plan anymore." Asriel'south quote is speculated to be something that he said to his dying sibling because this same VHS contains the quote seen on the game over screen.

Towards the end of the fight against Asriel, when the protagonist calls out "someone else"'due south name, flashbacks of Chara and Asriel play. They show Chara's fall into the Underground, Asriel's discovery of Chara, and the royal family unit spending time with Chara. Later the fight, Asriel recognizes the protagonist as Frisk.

During the epilogue, Frisk may return to the room containing the coffins of the other humans. This leads to the discovery that all of the coffins are empty and that there are mummy wrappings at the lesser of Chara's bury.

Genocide Road

We're still inseparable, after all these years... Allow'south destroy everything in this wretched globe. Everyone, everything in these worthless memories... Let'south plough 'em all to dust.

Flowey, upon assuming the protagonist is Chara.

While traversing the Genocide Route, many characters annotate on the protagonist's creepy smile. Sans comments that it would be great if the protagonist connected pretending to be a human, and Asgore inquires what kind of monster the protagonist is. At the finish of the Ruins and when going through New Home, Flowey determines that the protagonist is empty inside, but like himself. He concludes that the protagonist is Chara, and informs them of a plan he has to become almighty.

Chara discussing their collaboration with the protagonist

The simply instance in the game where Chara makes an in-person physical appearance is at the end of the Genocide Route. They announced as an overworld sprite and speak into the 4th wall. Chara could be speaking directly to the histrion in this sequence.

After this appearance, Chara reveals that the protagonist's "human soul" and "determination" were the crusade of their reincarnation and that the merciless events that occurred during the route pb Chara to realize that the "purpose" of their awakening was power. Chara states they are the embodiment of the feeling received whenever STATS increase and proposes erasing the world and moving on to the side by side.

Chara offering the choice to erase the globe or to non

The protagonist is given the choices to "ERASE" the world, or "DO Not." Both choices lead to the same upshot.

If the protagonist chooses to "ERASE," Chara calls the protagonist "a groovy partner." Additionally, their optics widen, and Chara says to the protagonist that they will be "together forever."
If the protagonist chooses "DO Non," Chara seems confused, merely and then seemingly shakes it off. Chara's eyes widen and they rhetorically ask the protagonist "SINCE WHEN WERE You lot THE ONE IN Command?" Afterward, a leap scare occurs, in which Chara approaches the screen with twisted laughter. The screen (or game window) shakes while a loud droning sound loops in the red background.

After the protagonist makes their choice, an assault animation occurs, followed by red "9"s roofing the screen. The game is forced into windowed mode and shakes similarly to a monster's death animation as the game closes. The histrion cannot exit the game before the crash unless they utilise their OS's Chore Manager or Force Quit (on Mac.)

Upon reopening the game, the screen is black and accompanied by a audio similar to howling wind. After x minutes, Chara speaks to the protagonist and is doubtful nevertheless intrigued at the fact that the role player wants to become back to the game's world. They remind the actor that their actions caused the globe'due south destruction, and later on they ask the protagonist if they recollect they are to a higher place consequences, Chara offers to restore the world in exchange for something, later revealed to exist the protagonist's SOUL.

If the protagonist agrees to this merchandise, the world is restored, just the True Pacifist ending is permanently altered.
Refusing this offer causes Chara to abandon the protagonist, only to offer the same selection again afterwards the game is restarted and another 10 minutes elapse.

Post-Genocide Game

True Pacifist Road

The photograph seen at the end of a "Soulless Pacifist" run

"Chara" appears briefly afterwards the True Pacifist Ending Credits if the Genocide Road has been completed beforehand. If the protagonist chose to stay with Toriel, the after-credits scene continues briefly after Toriel closes the door, showing Frisk turning to face the screen with red eyes. The game cuts to black, with Photoshop Flowey's express mirth playing at a lower pitch, presumably beingness Chara's express joy.

Similarly, if the protagonist decides to accept "places to go," the photo later the credits has the face of everyone crossed out in ruddy, except for Chara's sprite, which replaces Frisk's. The "THE END" text is red, and a slowed downwardly version of Anticipation plays. The Abrasive Dog does not announced to sleep nether the ending screen.

Genocide Route

After completing the Genocide Route a second fourth dimension, Chara takes on the description of "the demon that comes when people call its name." Chara blames the player for destroying and recreating the earth because of their perverted sentimentality, explains that the SOUL they currently hold resonates with strange feelings that they can no longer understand, and suggests that a unlike path should exist taken should the world exist recreated again. Chara gives the protagonist the "choice" to erase the world again.

If the protagonist chooses "ERASE," Chara in one case again calls the protagonist "a great partner," maxim they will be together forever.
Choosing "Practise Non" causes Chara to tell the protagonist that these feelings were exactly what they were just talking well-nigh. Chara then reminds the protagonist they made their option a long time agone, causing some other jump scare, every bit the world is destroyed once again. However, when the game is rebooted, it loads normally.

Relationships

Asriel Dreemurr

After falling into the Cloak-and-dagger, Chara was found by Asriel and adopted by his parents; Toriel and Asgore. The two of them grew together as siblings and best friends. Merely despite this, Asriel is willing to see past Chara's flaws since such defects are what fabricated Chara unique and special to him, as witnessed by Asriel's confession to the protagonist during the epilogue and the walk through New Home on the Genocide Route.

Flowey

Flowey perceives Chara as his partner and best friend, despite his inability to love. Seeing Chara as a fauna akin to him, he helps by immigration all obstacles in the way. He says that Chara would never give him any "worthless pity" and is the only one who understands him.

The Protagonist

The protagonist only encounters Chara if the Genocide Route is completed. As the protagonist kills monsters and gains more EXP, Chara, or something, seems to abound stronger. "Chara" refers to the protagonist equally a "partner" if the player accepts their offer to erase the world.

If the protagonist completes another Genocide Route, Chara questions why they continuously recreate and destroy the world. Chara and then goes on to say that the protagonist has a perverted sentimentality that drives this odd behavior.

Toriel

When Chara brutal into the Underground, Toriel took on the office of Chara's female parent. She cared for Chara very much, equally as much every bit Asriel.

Asgore

Similarly to Toriel, Asgore acted as much of a father to Chara as he did to Asriel. Flowey expressed confidence that Asgore would show them the human being souls, even if he didn't for Flowey.

Chara In-Game

The text that the protagonist sees changes depending on what some believe may be Chara'southward voice and thoughts. These narrations are sometimes, but non ever, red in color. The narration of diverse objects besides changes depending on the route, most notably the Heart Locket and Worn Dagger, which is narrated as being simply The Locket and Real Knife in the Genocide Route.

Trivia

The child being "fallen" can refer both to the kid having fallen into the Hush-hush, or to the phrase "to fall from grace" (to go morally decadent). It is also a word used to draw someone who has died.
Toby Fox suggests naming the Fallen Kid the player's own name, though he so replied to that Tweet with "I mean, if you can't remember of anything else lol."^[2]
"Chara" is likely short for "Character," as all internal references of either Frisk (mainchara) or Chara (truechara) utilise "chara."
- The official Japanese translation of the game translates Chara's name as "キャラ Kyara".^[iii] This matches the katakana for the English word "graphic symbol", which is written as "キャラクター Kyarakutā".
- "Chara" is as well an alternate spelling of "Cara" and "Kara", both names having their roots in Latin, meaning "darling," "honey," "dear" or "loved one."
When attempting to name the fallen child "Chara," the response becomes "The true proper name." Removing the name from a Relieve file results in the proper noun "CHARA" being given by default. These are the just ii instances where the name "Chara" appears in-game.
Chara is implied to like chocolate; in the Genocide Road, should the protagonist check the fridge in Asgore's Home, the text reads "No chocolate."
- While there is no chocolate in Asgore's home, there is a bar of chocolate in the fridge in Toriel'due south Abode; it is possible Toriel kept it in her refrigerator in memory of Chara'due south tastes.
- It is too implied that Chara has interest in knives, as the text upon inspecting Toriel'southward kitchen reads "Where are the knives." This is further evidenced by the Existent Knife.
The Locket may belong to Chara, as the text "Correct where information technology belongs." displays when the protagonist equips it during a Genocide Route.
Chara'southward jumper's color scheme (cream and greenish) is a color negative of Frisk's (bluish and imperial).
Chara is the merely character whose dialogue is never accompanied past voice bytes.
The music as Chara introduces themself to the protagonist has the filename mus_zzz_c, with the jump scare music named mus_zzz_c2.
If the game is not in windowed mode during the jump scare, the game will automatically go into windowed fashion.
Toriel and Chara both greet new figures using "greetings" (Toriel to the protagonist at the first of the game, Chara to the protagonist at the end of the Genocide Road). It is likely Chara assimilated this behavior from Toriel.
The comment that Chara makes about being "the demon that comes when people call its proper noun" may be a reference to naming a grapheme in an RPG. The player assigns a name to their avatar and, in a typical RPG, kills enemies to gain ability.
In the Japanese translation, Chara uses "watashi" and "jibun" for themself and refers to a person using "omae". Their speech is also written in "proper" Japanese, that is to say, it employs a standard level of kanji usage (Chinese characters), which puts information technology in stark contrast with the rest of the game, which inappreciably ever uses kanji in its text. This gives their speech an air of high formality.^[4]
In the Undertale Greenlight Trailer, Chara's name appears in some of the battle shots.

Inside the game files, there are wait-alikes of Chara with their yellow-and-greenish shirt and pants, with a different skin tone and lacking a confront simply having shading under the eyes. In debug fashion, it is possible to have these sprites appear as the protagonist's reflection in puddles and mirrors; information technology has been speculated that this was going to exist a feature in mail-Genocide Route timelines.
- This sprite bears resemblance to the character Kris, the protagonist of Toby Fox'south afterwards game Deltarune. It is possible this was an early image design of the graphic symbol, as Deltarune was planned since before the release of Undertale.
It is unsaid in the scrapped Undertale Alarm Clock dialogue^[5] that they overfill their glasses of water, and that Asriel adopted that method.
