Chara

## Appearance

Chara currently looks like a skeleton child wearing a yellow and green striped shirt with red, ectoplasmic hair. Their aesthetics are androgynous, but slightly masculine leaning [53]. When they transitioned to being a skeleton, they lost one finger on each hand, causing a minor loss of dexterity they are more than happy to live with [57].

### Inspiration

Their shirt is primarily yellow because it's their favorite color, but the green remains to evoke memories of the old shirt. Their face became rounder to make their appearance more in line with their self-image and spectral hair appeared because they liked having hair. It's red because it's their soul color and thus easiest to manifest [74].

## Personality

They are still in the process of accepting that they aren't inherently evil just because they really enjoy messing with others [30]. Usually this takes the form of intimidation or telling people things they wouldn't want to know just to see their reactions [28]. They are still learning how to tone the severity of these pranks down [30]. They also believe that excessive manipulation of time and space to avoid responsibility is inherently evil, but the power itself is neutral and can be used for good [61].

They spent the first part of the story playing into the askers' expectations of them to gain power from them as well as having sadistic fun at the expense of the askers that cared about the main cast, but as time went on, this facade dropped. They were always going to be redeemable in the end [76].

### Trauma

They have told the Dreemurrs their past, but they don't feel it's their story to tell, so the Dreemurrs simply make vague statements like "unhappy reasons" [71]. That said they don't like to tell people this because it would make others treat them more gently and not allow them to reform. Sans would never be told this because they believe that his distrust of them for their actions in the previous run is justified. That said their pride can't take being pitied and they don't trust themselves to not slip up again, leaving Sans as a means of keeping them in check [72].

They are more likely to have their trauma triggered by the A man shouting in a Newfoundland accent, the smell of cheap beer and saltwater, or seeing a loved one shield them with their body while Pirates of the Caribbean would simply be uncomfortable and make them feel like they were being mocked. Had they not said that he didn't have to, Asgore would have banned all pirate iconography in Mt. Ebott [75].

## Education

### Getting Ready

Chara is neither diligent nor slow and tend to keep Asriel moving as they get ready. They also enjoy brushing his fur, an activity they enjoy, but would be embarrassed to admit [26].

### Report Card

Chara's last report card was from when they were Callalied [34].

## Callalied

During Callallied's white chocolate rant, three fonts were used--the default Undertale font, the Callallied font, and another font known as "Charakterny." A common theory was that Charakterny would be Chara's "true" font after completing their full transformation into a skeleton monster. During Chara's reunion with Asriel, the Charakterny font appeared for a few select words. After the update in question, Trash Queen commented that this font was chosen so that Chara would not have to go by any other aliases and because its "sharp and pointy" look fit the character.

## Chocolate

Chara's love of chocolate came from a kindly old shopkeeper in the fictional town (Possibly based off of Doolin) they grew up in that sold chocolate [12]. They will never stop hating white chocolate [31], and most of their hatred stems from the disappointment from being offered chocolate only to find out it's white. That said, if it wasn't acknowledged as chocolate, they wouldn't have as much of an issue with it [64].

**Things Chara considers chocolate:** Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, Baker’s Chocolate, Chocolate truffles including ones with non-chocolate fillings (prefers chocolate filling), chocolates with other food inside them [63].

**Things Chara thinks pair well with chocolate:** Coffee, Caramel, Peanuts, Peanut-butter, Hazelnuts, Toffee, Oranges, Mint, Raspberry [63]

**Things Chara doesn't think are chocolate but are good candy:** Matcha bars, any milk-based bar candy that isn’t white chocolate, Cookies and Cream Bars (the only white-chocolate based candy allowed) [63]

**Things Chara rejects as the spawn of Satan:** Plain white chocolate [63].

## Video Games

Chara excels at playing an imposter in Among Us, able to lie easily and subtly gaslight people into believing them. Unfortunately, this backfires since everyone already knows how good at lying they are, so when they’re a crewmember they tend to get voted out when the others get suspicious of them [37] [38] .

Their Skyrim character, Charon (pronounced Karen but with a "CH") eventually ran into the Ill Met By Moonlight quest and was the first side quest that interested them enough to try and finish. They sided with Sinding and fought off the werewolf hunters. When Asriel mentioned that they could be a werewolf if they wanted, Chara thought that sounded awesome but told him not to tell them about it. They are currently wandering the wilderness looking for werewolves, with Asriel upset he can't tell them where to look [50]. They only downloaded graphical and quality of life mods, except for one that turns Balgruf the Greater into a dog by accident. They kept it because it was amusing to happen upon organically [51].

Chara enjoys Asriel's reaction to playing Kingdom Hearts more than actually playing them [54].

### Dark Souls

Chara uses a Dexterity build because they're annoyed at not having bought Sekiro yet and made a ninja build to compensate [65].

## Opinions

* Chara believes many foods can be improved by adding chocolate [32].
* Chara believes that Halloween is a great excuse for chocolate and scaring people for fun [60].
* Chara believes that Matcha chocolate may not be chocolate but it's better than white chocolate [62].
* Chara no longer believes Gaster to be an annoying meddler, respecting his commitment to stopping their genocide run. They don't approve of his actions toward the fallen children, but knows it would be hypocritical to judge him too harshly considering their own actions [66].
* Toriel has shit taste for dating Sans, but they respect her choices [73].

## Trivia

* Chara is Irish, but has a Canadian accent [1].
* Their pre-death bio sex was decided via coin flip [2].
* They were an ardent prankster before they died [4].
* Their Elder Scrolls Online Character is Lilavati al-Noor [5].
* They chose buttercups as they way they died because they thought eating enough would be like falling asleep [6].
* They are deficient in all traits except for Determination [8] [10].
* They are left handed [9].
* Their murder of the pirates increased the LOVE to 9 [11]. Killing again would be the most psychologically damaging thing they could experience [18].
* Chara likes cats for their cleverness and independence, but doesn't trust them [14].
* They are slow to accept change [15].
* They prefer black tea [58], but Chara prefers their coffee in one of three ways. 1: with a packet of hot cocoa. 2: black. 3: black with one sugar. Never with any milk [16].
* Chara will insist on they and Asriel not being siblings because they are hopelessly in love with him and reasons that siblings don't have these feelings for each other [19].
* Chara and Frisk are close friends now, despite their rocky start. Chara knows they have a second chance at life because of Frisk's actions and Chara has become one of their fiercest defenders [52]. They and Frisk agree on most things currently, but when expressing their opinions, Chara is ruder [24].
* Despite the manifestation of the pirate ship in Chara's mindspace, the ship did not actually appear that way in real life [25].
* They enjoy Doom Eternal and may have asked to play [27].
* They enjoy reading [29].
* When given a choice between chocolate ice cream and vanilla with chocolate chunks, they usually choose the latter. Their favorite ice creams are usually those with both chocolate chunks and chocolate syrup. The flavor of the ice cream itself is less important [32].
* Chara is too embarrassed to even try to dance [33].
* Chara's destruction of the Reset Button was done with finesse rather than brute force [47].
* Chara did not use any spells other than Reset during their genocide run because they both didn't know they could and their LOVE was clouding their mind [35].
* Unlike Frisk, Chara does not have a deadname, with their parents having bestowed them their current name [36].
* Their father used to sing them sea shanties, though they'd have trouble remembering them. These are some of the few pleasant memories of the ocean they still have [39 ].
* Chara likes the X-Men because of how accurately it portrays how society would treat humans with superpowers, but identifies more with Magneto than with the X-Men. Their favorite super hero is Professor X because of how intrinsically linked he is to Magneto [43].
* Chara has an above average IQ [44].
* Chara has always enjoyed getting a rise out of Asriel [48].
* Chara will eat snail pie due to a desire not to waste food born from childhood starvation, but won't like it [49].
* They can tolerate any level of spice, but will only eat something hotter than a jalapeño if dared [59].
* They, Frisk, and Asriel have several identical shirts [67].
* The inspiration for the pirates came from Trash Queen liking the idea of Chara being Irish and needing a way to get them to Canada [68].
