"A long time ago, a human fell into the RUINS. Injured by its fall, the human called out for help."

Chara Dreemurr, also known as the fallen human, is the first human to fall into the Underground. Chara is their "true name" on the naming screen, a reference to the protagonist's sprite being called "mainchara" in the files, though their canon name is whatever the player's real name is, but lore wise, Chara is considered "the real name". They are distinct from the eighth fallen human, who is the protagonist of Undertale. As a major character, Chara's primary role is described through the Dreemurr's backstories, though Chara also appears at the end of the Genocide Route.

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 explains Chara climbed Mount Ebott for an unhappy reason, and that they "hated humanity." In the VHS Tapes, Chara is implied to be mischievous, and can make a "creepy face" with a certain smile. Chara is also intelligent, secretive, and persuasive. Chara does not let their plan be recorded on the camera, and they gain Asriel's trust to continue their plan. At one point, Asgore noticed Chara once had a sense of hope in their eyes. Despite this, much of Chara’s personality and intent is ambiguous.

There is evidence to suggest 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.

At the end of the Genocide Route, Chara behaves in a polite, formal, and terse manner. Chara's vocabulary is slightly above average, and they are blunt and criticizing in their dialogue. Chara can also change their face to a creepier one (dark wide eyes, red glowing eyes, melting face, etc)

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 compassion, since their death.

Chara is a morally ambiguous child, and is influenced by the player's actions and choices in Undertale. Despite their ambiguity and occasional formalness, they have a tendency to be brash and brazen. They do have a tenderness to those they care about though.

They do not, however, have much compassion for human civilization. Albeit, the reasons are unknown, but some interpret that it is due to neglet and abuse by their own people.
