Chara
From The Codex

Background
"Chara", the demon that comes when people call its name. They are the official first fallen human & the adoptive sibling of Asriel Dreemurr. They devised a plan with Asriel for him to get their soul and break through the barrier. Chara's motives in this situation are uncertain, but upon entering the golden flower village and the humans seeing Asriel holding a dead human they attack him with little resistance from Asriel ending in his & Chara's death.
| This dropdown contains the synopsis of Chara’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |

|
Chara can be first seen during the introduction scene of Undertale, climbing Mt. Ebott, tripping over a root and falling into the Ruins. 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 his parents. 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 not only siblings, but also best friends, and monsters spoke of how Chara filled the Underground with hope.[2] One day, after becoming terminally ill from consuming buttercups, Chara expressed the desire to see the Golden Flowers found in their home village.[3] 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?" It can be inferred, then, that Chara's ingestion of the flowers was intentional, and done in order to give Asriel access to the power of their soul so that Asriel could travel to the surface and collect the human souls needed to break the Barrier and free the monsters. 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.[4] In the Genocide Route, Chara says that the protagonist's "determination" and "human soul" awakened them from death. 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. Neutral Route
The protagonist also hears Chara's name in their dreams. If the protagonist sleeps in the bed in Toriel's home, Asgore's voice can be heard as he pleads, "<Name>, please... Wake up! You are the future of humans and monsters." When the protagonist first falls into the Garbage Dump, Asriel's first words to Chara appear on the screen, narrated with Asriel's voice byte. True Pacifist Route
Towards the end of the fight against Asriel, when the protagonist calls out "someone else"'s name, flashbacks of Chara and Asriel play. They show Chara's fall into the Underground, Asriel's discovery of Chara, and the royal family spending time with Chara. After the fight, Asriel recognizes the protagonist as Frisk. During the epilogue, Frisk may return to the room containing the coffins of the other humans. This leads to the discovery that all of the coffins are empty and that there are mummy wrappings at the bottom of Chara's coffin. Genocide Route
The only instance in the game where Chara makes an in-person physical appearance is at the end of the Genocide Route. They appear as an overworld sprite and speak into the fourth wall. Chara could be speaking directly to the player in this sequence. After this appearance, Chara reveals that the protagonist's "human soul" and "determination" were the cause of their reincarnation and that the merciless events that occurred during the route lead Chara to realize that the "purpose" of their awakening was power. Chara states they are the embodiment of the feeling received whenever STATS increase and proposes erasing the world and moving on to the next. The protagonist is given the choices to "ERASE" the world, or "DO NOT." Both choices lead to the same result.
After the protagonist makes their choice, an attack animation occurs, followed by red "9"s covering the screen. The game is forced into windowed mode and shakes similarly to a monster's death animation as the game closes. The player cannot exit the game before the crash unless they use their OS's Task Manager or Force Quit (on Mac). Upon reopening the game, the screen is black and accompanied by a sound similar to howling wind. After 10 minutes, Chara speaks to the protagonist and is doubtful yet intrigued at the fact that the player wants to go back to the game's world. They remind the player that their actions caused the world's destruction, and after they ask the protagonist if they think they are above consequences, Chara offers to restore the world in exchange for something, later revealed to be the protagonist's SOUL.
Post-Genocide True Pacifist Route
Similarly, if the protagonist decides to have "places to go," the photograph after the credits has the face of everyone crossed out in red, except for Chara's sprite, which replaces Frisk's. The "THE END" text is red, and a slowed down version of Anticipation plays. The Annoying Dog does not appear to sleep under the ending screen. Post-Genocide Genocide Route

The world has at least more than one timeline as Sans himself states "you'll keep consuming timelines". There can also be more then one file deleted after Chara destroys the world. Should scale to The Anomaly. After the game shuts down, if you go to check game files you will find only one small file. When you open it as notepad it says only one letter "a".

Notable Techniques
Should have the same techniques as Frisk which includes:
FIGHT: Frisk is prompted to pick an enemy to attack. Frisk can attack one enemy each turn.
ACT: Frisk is prompted to select an enemy, and is then given one or more ACT options which are specific to that enemy.
ITEM: Using consumable items regains health. Some consumable items are capable of increasing stats. Using equipment items other than the Bandage or Stick equips them.
MERCY: Sparing means that Frisk does not want to fight. Frisk is encouraged on multiple occasions on their journey to show mercy to the opponents they fight.
Other
Standard Tactics: Chara has shown that their first option upon waking up is destroying the world for good. If one wishes for the world to come back they must make a deal wtih Chara to give them their SOUL, in which they will eventually possess the target.
Weaknesses: None notable.
Note: While Chara is an avatar of The Anomaly, once they've reached the absolute they've managed to reach them and break free from their control completely making them able to affect the plane The Anomaly exist on.
Note 2: The reason Chara's body is completely destroyed from the world destruction is because it goes far beyond merely an Attack Potency feat. The entire world was conceptually destroyed with all files being erased, including Chara's. Thus, this makes Chara being unable to tank this not a contradiction.
Note 3: The human key is not in regards to the genocide route. The character in the genocide route is Frisk, not Chara. The key is meant to represent Chara before their death, as Frisk is mistakened for them by Asriel and isn't shown to have abilities unnatural for humans, Chara should be able to scale to them.
Explanation: Why attacking the SOUL is essence manipulation.
