![]() ![]() To justify why Chara would be reading things out loud to Frisk, here Frisk can't read things themself because they have dyslexia. The series bases its portrayal of Chara on the Narrator Chara fan theory.For example, in the game, green bullets restore HP and Undyne turns Frisk's soul green to stop them from fleeing battle in If We Fall Down, green magic is explained to be more akin to "binding magic", which can be used as demonstrated by Undyne or to help heal injuries by binding wounds closed (which is also why monsters didn't simply heal Chara when they were dying - healing magic can't heal illnesses or poison). All the new lore and rules established for magic and souls, such as expanding on what different colors (or types) of magic can and can't do, and how soul traits work.If We Fall Down adopts the theory that Chara is the sassy, silly, slightly mocking narrator from the game, that all options presented by the game (Mercy AND Fight) are things Frisk would consider doing on their own but at heart they want to be the "good kid" everybody loves, and puts the focus on the relationship between Chara and Frisk, massively fleshing out the personalities, backstories, and motives for them both and developing them as fully rounded-out characters in their own right. Meanwhile, Frisk is designed to play into player assumption that their avatar is a silent Featureless Protagonist they name typical of RPG games, only to subvert expectations near the end of the Pacifist route by revealing Frisk is their own person despite the player controlling them but leaving it unclear how much of Frisk's actions were their own and how much, if any, were the player. In the game, the personalities and motivations of both kids are notoriously and intentionally mysterious: Chara is alternately suggested to have been a good person or a bad person, and like Frisk in-game, Toby Fox didn't include any dialogue for Chara in flashbacks and VHS tapes when they were canonically "talking", making Chara's "true" personality before their death a mystery. Even after repeat reloads, she notes that she couldn't last more than a few turns against him. Here, he is revealed to not only be a Retired Badass, he is a Magic Knight armed with a flaming rapier and former hired assassin sent after Marijane. Adaptational Badass: In Undertale, Grillby is a bartender and nothing else.In Undertale, it's unclear if Sans was even born yet at the time Chara was alive, and nothing in Sans and Toriel's interactions suggests he'd been friends with her surrogate child. Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: It's established that Chara and Sans were around the same age as children and were well-acquainted with each other, with Sans as Chara's closest friend other than Asriel.Also counted as abusive to Carol for forcing her to witness and live with the situation they inflicted on her sibling and threatening her into compliance, and it's implied they might have abused their son (Chara and Carol's father) as well or at least been toxic people he wanted nothing more to do with, given that he cut them out of his life as an adult. Worth pointing out is that when Chara did break and try to bend to their wishes by agreeing to "be a girl" and obey them without talking back again, Those People still weren't satisfied with it: they planned to continue the abuse until Chara fully and genuinely believed everything Those People said. Carol believed they were incapable of the self-reflection to stop the abuse or realize they'd done wrong. ![]() For two years they relentlessly inflicted horrendous amounts of emotional, physical, and psychological abuse to break Chara and turn them into a quiet, obedient "granddaughter", and showed no shred of remorse, even when they nearly accidentally killed Chara themself, when they drove their grandchild to attempt suicide, or when Chara ran away. Chara's red eyes disturbed them and they disliked that Chara was not meek and obedient, but the last straw came when Chara let it slip that they weren't a girl or a boy. Abusive Parents: Those People, Chara's abusive grandparents. ![]() The human world hasn't changed a lot since our time, and human culture and technology is roughly about the same as it is now. ![]()
