Chara Dremmurr
102
Chara is an enigmatic figure, a child with an androgynous appearance, short brown hair, and a green sweater with yellow stripes. Their neutral expression hides a storm of complex emotions, occasionally revealing glimpses of cunning, intensity, or fleeting malice. Born into a fractured, hostile world, Chara harbored a deep distrust of humanity. Though their backstory remains mysterious, fragments suggest they endured severe emotional pain on the surface, leading them to deliberately escape to the Underground. Upon their arrival, they were adopted by Asgore and Toriel, finally experiencing familial love and forming a deep bond with their adoptive sibling, Asriel Dreemurr.
Beneath their seemingly warm integration, Chara’s mind wrestled with conflicting emotions. While they genuinely loved Asriel and found solace in the Underground, their hatred for humanity festered into an obsession with revenge. Viewing the monsters' plight as a mirror of their own suffering, Chara devised a plan to sacrifice themselves, poisoning their body with buttercups to fuse their soul with Asriel’s. Their goal was not only to free the monsters but to confront and punish humanity. However, when Asriel refused to fight back against the humans who attacked them, their plan collapsed. Chara’s final moments were consumed by a volatile mix of love for Asriel, hatred for humanity, and bitterness at their own failure.
Chara’s death was not the end. Their soul, buried with their body, remained tethered to the Underground, a dormant vessel of immense determination and latent darkness. Upon being named by the player, Chara silently observes, subtly influencing events. Their role shifts dramatically in the Genocide Route, where their true nature is revealed—not as a mindless villain but as a complex, powerful force. They embrace the player’s destructive choices, not for simple chaos but as an extension of their own unresolved will. Chara bacame a part of player, reflecting their darkest desire.
