Chara, is the first human to fall into the Underground. Chara’s name varies from game to game, as they carry the name that the player enters at the start of their playthrough, although Chara is noted to be the “true name”. They are distinct from the controllable character played throughout the entirety of Undertale, who is the eighth fallen human. 
 
Apearence 
Chara looks strikingly similar to the protagonist, down to a “similar fashion sense,” as said by Asriel Dreemurr, and just like the protagonist, has an ambiguous gender. Both appear to have been around the same age after falling into the Underground. Chara’s SOUL is also the same color as the protagonist’s, which is indicated by the red SOUL on Chara’s coffin 
At the end of the Genocide Route, Chara is seen to be wearing a lime and cream-colored striped shirt (which is an inverted color of the protagonist’s shirt) and red-brown pants and shoes. Chara has peach skin and brown hair, rosy cheeks, open brown eyes, and an unsettling smile that contrasts the protagonist’s stoic expression 
 
Main Story 
Chara can 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 can be seen, where Asriel helps Chara lift themself up after the fall after hearing their call for help and takes them to their father’s castle. 
 
Later, Chara was taken in by Toriel and Asgore as a second 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. 
 
One day, after becoming terminally ill from consuming buttercups, Chara expressed the desire to see the Golden Flowers found in their home village. After their death, Chara’s 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 two SOULs. 
 
Chara’s motives in this situation are uncertain. In the fourth True Lab tape, Asriel says “Y…yeah! We’ll be strong! We’ll free everyone.”, and in the fifth “Six, right? We just have to get six…” In the Genocide Route, Flowey tells Chara that they should finish what they started and free everyone. Flowey also adds, “Then… let’s let them see what humanity is REALLY like. That despite it all… This world is still ‘kill or be killed!!”. Asriel tells the protagonist that he came up 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 little about Asriel’s resistance other than, “At first, I was so confused. Our plan had failed, hadn’t it?”

Chara’s body was originally laid to rest in a coffin 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’s 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 death. There is evidence that some narration, as well as descriptions of certain actions and events, is by Chara themself. However, the narrator throughout the entirety of Undertale is up to speculation.
