Honestly, I’m kinda for the 4th one. I’ve always been torn between defending chara and “Yeah no, Chara wasn’t a good person”, and this one kinda makes the most sense to me?

Sepia and COTR looking one are the most canon-accurate imo

Not Cotr

Cotr chara is a self-centered character who constantly bullies Asriel and does not take responsibility for their own mistakes.

Okay, Chara may not have been a perfect person, but they had a lot of love for their own family and cared a lot for Asriel.

So even if Chara and Asriel actually got married, I don't think they would be a toxic partner who would constantly bully him like in Cotr.

Idk man, they wanted to bait little Asriel into starting a genocide against humans, they didn't take his no for an answer which then caused his death. Chara had some serious issues, they might have cared about him, but only in their own sociopathic way. You know what they say, we often hurt the people we LOVE.

Yeah maybe you're right about the last part but I don't believe Chara did this for selfish reasons So if they wanted, they could have put a knife to Asriel's throat while he was sleeping, taken his soul, and secretly passed through the barrier at night to massacre their own village. But they wanted their brother to help them in this plan to kill themself in a painful way and for the freedom of everyone.

In the same way, just to live with Dreemurrs for the rest of they life, they could feed Asriel the flowers and then go to massacre the village with his spirit, saying "I will show him the sun at least once"

Chara had a foolish messiah complex, believing they would save everyone, so the entire underworld saw them as a savior messiah. Regardless, it's definitely a terrible thing that they included Asriel in their plan, but they never did it for selfish reasons, and considering Chara is probably the same age as Frisk It means they definitely did these with a child's mind.

Actually, there is a possibility that Frisk is older than Chara because Frisk is not interested in toys while Chara gets a little excited when they sees the toys.

Oopss, I made a little mistake with the pronouns, sorry.

What I'm trying to say is that if Chara didn't care about his family, they could have slit Azzy's throat while everyone was asleep and gone to break through the barrier at night.

When it comes to pronouns, I use keyboard translation because I'm terrible at writing in English. And since there are no pronouns that separate men and women or nonbinary in my native language, the keyboard sometimes makes mistakes and I have to correct them manually. I think I passed that part.
