Description

EDIT: Changed Chara's eye color to match her soul and updated her bio a bit

Second reference sheet to the eight humans of Undertale. This time it's the other red soul as well as the first fallen human, Chara. Like with Frisk, I made Chara transgender, a Trans woman (male to female) and I would like to remind you all that Chara's gender is also unknown for the sake of players being able to insert their own head canons for Chara's gender (much like frisk) So I ask that we not argue about Chara's gender here and I would appreciate it if you refer to this version of Chara with female pronouns.


Chara was really fun to draw and tweak with in terms of design. If you're wondering why she has freckles and a scarf like Frisk does (as well as other similarities), it's because I wanted them to have some things in common with their fashion and looks (since Flowey will often call Frisk Chara in game since they had some similarities with each other) so I gave her them, and I think it fits Chara pretty well. I didn't do too much change to chara's canon character, since the game does show bits and pieces of who chara is and tried to keep that in my version of chara, but she's also not going to be evil for the sake of evil like lots of people see her as. I have plans for this little shit.

and I forgot to draw her locket. XP and her cheek blush. Damnit. I'll try to add them later.

Some trivia about chara:

- her birthday is the same exact birthday as Frisk (to keep with the theme of them having a lot in common in a sense)

- Her being trans is also for the same reasons as Frisk being trans, and pretty much the same reason why she has the same birthday (Do i really need to repeat myself?)

- In my head as well as the comic I'm planning, Chara fell into the underground in the 1980's, when hate towards the LGBT community was far worse than today (in terms of rights and acceptance that is) So even though she was 10 when she died and still has that same look in age when Frisk enters the Underground, if Chara never died, she would've been in her late 30's during the events of the game)

-due to her childhood abuse, chara had severe trust issues when she was alive, and the only one that she cared for was Asriel. She also did not mind Toriel and Asgore (They ARE her adoptive parents after all and didn't treat her like shit) she just felt more of a connection with Asriel. She was also pretty violent and got into a lot of fights with the other monsters, mainly when they blamed her for their imprisonment or on rare occasions, questioned her gender.

-Her soul became a very dark red after her death due to her increased hatred for humanity after they killed Asriel

So I got like six more reference sheets for the other humans. I'll get those out soon.

Why do people think chara hates puns? And they are the queen of chocolate, there is no chocolate they hate

Well we only know so little about chara so it's really just headcanons. (and this is over a year old and I've since then made changes so I'm going to update this soon. xP)

Chara has no gender. Chara is referred to as 'they' in the game by Asriel. But I'm all game for Chara being a girl if this is an AU.

As I and many people have said, including the creator that both chara and frisk have no CANON gender. Asriel probably don't know Charas gender so he calls Chara 'they'. Again, this is so the player can have their own interpretations of the two ( you do name Chara in game after all) personally, I don't have a set gender for either, I just wanted to make a trans frisk and Charas since I've yet to see a trans version of the two (and since I'm trans, it means they are slightly based on me in that sense.)

Ah, alright, I can understand that. Just curious, were you male, and now female, or vice versa? My friend used to be a boy, but now she's a girl, so I'm just curious. =3

Very nice job! And I like your take on Chara, other than the 'Cold, heartless psychopath' many others make her out to be.

DrawingWithFins In reply to BaconBaka [2016-06-24 17:22:42 +0000 UTC]

well, she still has the bitterness and stuff, but I don't see her as plain evil. Where's the fun in making characters like that?

Yeah, not every character is pure evil.
