Chara was a child who escaped to Mt. Ebott after finding disappointment and misery in the human world. They wanted to leave and never come back. When they tripped over a root, they tumbled down a hole and ended up underground, in the monster world. Asriel, the son of Queen Toriel and King Asgore, found Chara and brought him home. Immediately, the two monster royals adopted Chara. Asriel and Chara became inseparable and spent all their time together, as siblings and best friends.
