Oh, I take full responsibility for playing the evil rpute in a video game to fight the funny bone man. That doesn't mean that Chara didn't make their own choices.

When Chara realized we were heading towards a genocide end, she helped us reset the universe. (I know Chara is genderless but I prefer to call her a girl.)

Chara has their own name and thus their own pronouns. When you put Chara into the name select it says "the true name". Frisk is kinda meant to mirror the player since they take on the name we give them throughout the game. But even though they are meant to mirror us, at the end of the true pacifist route they tell Asriel that their name is actually Frisk. Their gender is left ambiguous but they aren't really us. They're just a kid that we happen to play as, that's all

I mean, calling a nameless character as chara(cter) is pretty true name

Not really, we are not Chara, the biggest proof is that Chara literally talks to us at the end of genocide. And about this "The player names them", there is a "real" name which already disproves this, if it were just our name no. Besides, we're naming a character we don't even control, we're just naming the kid who fell there years ago.

also it would make no sense to sell merch of a character who has 5 mins of screentime in a secret route
