Date: 2019-04-27 08:00 am (UTC)here's a link to the convo with asriel in case you've never seen it.
uhhhhh no mercy-specific stuff that has additional chara information are: flowey's new home monologue that replaces the fairytale (which tells you a LOT about asriel also), chara's route-specific narration/flavor text for everything in new home, and chara's talks with the player after you complete the route. most of this stuff can already be inferred just from true pacifist tho.
imo frisk's canon characterization is what takes the most squinting to uncover--we are Pretty sure that they're the one who comes up with all the ACT options and we know they're like "lol bye" as soon as the no mercy route starts, and the asriel convo linked above/their starting equipment have some Hints, but like... we get to see a Lot of chara talking at us thru the narration which def helps w/understanding their personality, but frisk pretty much does whatever we tell chara to tell them to do so figuring them out took some Deep Diving personally
this meta analysis of chara from back in the days when my friends and i were still taking fandom by the shoulders and gently explaining that undertale Does Not Have Pure Evil Characters In It And Chara Is Not The Exception is a must-read. ive heard a vanishingly tiny amount of Sekret* Canon Stuff about chara via toby's friend shelby cragg in an art livestream they did in october '15 (the like 20-30 ppl in the chat got to talking abt chara's moral nature, shelby and i were the only ones who were like "highly doubt they were intended as ~Pure Evil~", and they were planning to meet up with toby at a con so they said they'd just ask him about it directly. then they told ppl who'd finished the game what he told them in their next stream) and this meta essay is EERILY spot-on.
*inferrable via in-text material so it's not really That sekret
