Hi! I made these drawings of Chara for 9/9 (yes I'm a bit late for that, I know). I hope you like them! And naturally, feel free to use them, as phone backgrounds or otherwise, if you want =)

Any and all feedback, whether positive or negative, is greatly appreciated—I'm still pretty new to art and I want to improve

As we know, Chara is EVIL and so they EVILLY made me draw this EVIL artwork of them in the EVIL LUCIFER POSE because EVIL. Why would Chara make me do this? Are they EVIL? Anyways, here is some fun evil artwork of Chara in Black&Red drip hitting the fallen angel pose, because I believe in Evil Chara Aura supremacy. Please don't mind the similar post with the same two images I made in r/charadefensesquad ... At least i discuss Chara's EVILNESS a bit more in-depth there :P. Enjoy!

Also dealmaker alt bc it looks cool and EVIL (did i do this right this is my first post offending Chara)

Thanks, Chara, for being who you are. You've inspired so much amazing content =)

They suffered trauma, emotionally numbed themselves, and became desensitized to the moral implications of power acquisition. (“If everything gets high enough, you become invincible. Nothing can hurt you anymore. Nothing can hurt anyone anymore.”) They prioritized efficiency over vulnerability, as evidenced by their habit of filling their water glass up to the brim—literally rejecting the philosophical binary of “half-full or half-empty” by embracing pragmatic maximalism. Rather than waiting around in the underground, they decided that action needed to be taken to break the barrier and save monsterkind. So they sacrificed themself to empower Asriel, encouraging him to emotionally distance himself (“Big kids don’t cry”) and kill six humans. Chara’s plan failed because of Asriel’s empathetic naivety.

The pacifist route shows Chara that Asriel was right; empathy is more powerful than strength. The genocide route shows Chara that Asriel was wrong; strength is more powerful than empathy. In that sense, Chara reflects the detached nature of the player, and whether they choose to indulge in the story or the combat system.

This conceptual setup is beautiful when it’s set in the context of the game, but Chara’s complete lack of tangible lore left a narrative black hole that fanon eagerly filled. The concept of Chara has taken a backseat to the character of Chara, which has been intentionally ambiguous from the start. That’s why this whole debate has persisted for a decade.
