Since we are now controlling Chara, they may also be controlled by the player in-universe for Genocide. Chara's face becomes shadowed like Kris' when we are controlling them, and this response on Tumblr indicates that the team sees the player as responsible for Genocide, not Frisk.

This may be happening in Genocide as well.

Regardless of whatever the possessing entity's intentions are, it's clear that Chara is frightened all the same.

Chara's dialogue options in Neutral and Pacifist show they want to stay with Asgore and are confused and scared when the dialogue keeps changing to them pressing him on how to leave the Ruins, with them trying to plead for help by the end.

If you take a second nap after pushing Asgore on how to leave Ruined Home, Chara's inner monologue mentions that they feel terrified at the thought of returning to the Surface, though they can't remember why.

Corrupt the Cutie: Seems to be the case, influenced by LV and being under the control of the player in Genocide.

They can do some pretty odd ACTs with monsters (like Frisk), stack a glass of water and minimart items on top of their head instead of carrying them in their hands, and the Mad Dummy hears them mumbling their check of them if you choose to Check the Mad Dummy instead of saying goodbye in the tutorial, which could mean Chara is saying all their narration out loud under their breath. When they battle Asgore (who thinks they want to leave), they never get a chance to speak up about it, even when they try.

And I Must Scream: They really want to just stay with Asgore, but some force is compelling them to leave.They also mention not remembering the Surface if you have them nap again before battling Asgore (or after fleeing his battle). Amnesiac Hero: You choose their name at the beginning because they can't remember it after their fall.Ambiguous Gender: As in Undertale, their gender is never specified.It gets extra adorable if you equip the Cowboy Hat that Chara is under the impression makes them 'look tough', since they wear it in the overworld too and make a point of carefully taking it off for naps and putting it back on when it gets knocked off their head.

Adorably Precocious Child: They have a dry and sometimes sassy running commentary, take notes in their journal on the monsters they encounter along with illustrating the monsters with crayon drawings, and their sprite has open eyes but a neutral expression like Frisk's, giving them an earnest, serious look at all times, even when sitting on a bench and childishly swinging their legs back and forth.Ebott for undisclosed reasons, they fall down into the underground and will have to brave several challenges to reach the surface again. It's me, Chara!The fallen human and main protagonist of TS!Underswap.
