Chara Dreemurr

## Chara

*"Greetings. I am <Chara>."*

*—Chara's introduction at the end of the UNDERTALE’s Genocide route*

**Chara** (/ˈkæ.rə/ *KARR-ə*), also known as the **fallen human**, is the first human to fall into the Underground. Chara is their "true name" on the naming screen, though their name typically varies on what the player enters. They are distinct from the eighth fallen human, who is the protagonist of *Undertale*. Their primary role is in the backstory of the Dreemurr family, though they also appear at the end of the Genocide Route to erase the world. Both of these make them a major character in *Undertale*. They act as the narrator, narrating everything Frisk and their friends did.

## Personality

While initially cast in a sympathetic light, 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 thank the protagonist for teaching them the purpose of their reawakening: power. Chara informs that their determination woke them from death when entering the Underground.

If Frisk refuses to destroy the world, Chara's eyes become wide, and rhetorically asks: "*SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL?*", before destroying it with corrupt laughter. In the abyss, Chara is blunt, and criticizes the protagonist: "*You want to go back to the world you destroyed.*"

After a second Genocide Route, Chara expresses confusion at the protagonist's "sentimentality," and states that they can no longer understand such emotions, implying that they, like Flowey, have lacked a SOUL, and thus emotions, since their death.

## Physical appearance

Chara looks strikingly similar to LEMONADE, and Frisk and has a "similar fashion choice," as said by Asriel Dreemurr at the end of Undertale. Chara's SOUL is also the same color as Frisk’s, which is indicated by the red SOUL on Chara's coffin, but any other shared traits are unknown.

At the end of the Genocide Route, Chara appears with a long-sleeve green sweater with a single horizontal yellow stripe (which is an inverted color of the Frisk’s shirt, with a single stripe) and short red-brown pants, white socks and brown shoes. They also wear a golden heart locket, Asriel wears the same item. Chara has peach skin, brown medium-length hair with side-swept bangs, and rosy cheeks. Distinctly, they have open brown eyes, and a smile that contrasts Frisk’s stoic expression. In the "Soulless Pacifist" ending, Chara appears with red eyes.

## Relationships

### Asriel

> "*I always was a crybaby, wasn't I, <Chara>?*"

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

### Toriel

> "*<Chara>... Can you hear me? We want you to wake up...*"
>

When Chara fell into the Underground, Toriel took on the role of Chara's mother. She cared for Chara very much, equally as much as Asriel. Chara clearly enjoyed spending time with Toriel. They were cooking pie and knitting, and Chara got close to their foster mom, as they also say "greetings". When Chara got sick, she was very worried, After their death, Toriel took their body and buried it in a field of golden flowers.

### Asgore

> "*<Chara>! You have to stay determined!*"
> "*You can't give up... You are the future of humans and monsters...*"
>
>

When Chara fell into the Underground, Asgore took on the role of Chara's father. He also took care of them like his own child along with Toriel. Asgore saw in Chara the hope that they were the future of humans and monsters. Even though they poisoned him with buttercup pie, he clearly didn't hold a grudge against them. When Chara got sick, he worried about them. After their death, Asgore never ceased to remember them.

### Flowey

> "*But you... YOU'RE different. I never could predict you…*"
> Flowey perceives Chara as his partner and best friend, despite his inability to love. Seeing Chara as a creature akin to him, he helps by clearing all obstacles in the way. He says that Chara would never give him any "worthless pity" and is the only one who understands him.

### Frisk

> "*Right. You are a great partner."*
> *"We'll be together forever, won't we?*"
>

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 grow stronger. "Chara" refers to the protagonist as 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. it is clear that Frisk was Chara’s HOST, similar to how Kris is LEMONADE’s HOST. However Chara was using Frisk to remake the world and have them relive.

### Jaden

Though not stated directly, Chara seemed annoyed with Jaden’s presence. They even tried to encourage Frisk, their HOST, to leave him and or kill him.
