* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Just like the original game, they're heart-shaped, with colors depending on the owner's species and personality, and it's sometimes possible to absorb the soul of a recently-deceased member of a different species. The person doing the absorbing gains great strength, while the person who got absorbed becomes a voice in the head of the person who took them. In the series, it's also stated that souls can be temporarily severed from their owners without killing them, allowing for feats of magic only possible with the power of multiple souls, but if the soul remains severed for too long, its owner will die.

* SharingABody: [[spoiler:The fallen humans (except Frisk) temporarily sever their souls at the end of ''we light ourselves up from the deepest of pits'' so Asriel can absorb them and break the Barrier. While severed and held by Asriel, the souls act as voices in his head. He can read their memories, but risks getting lost in them if he tries this. The souls can even have conversations with each other in Asriel's mind. Astis and Chara end up cracking a bunch of dirty jokes, much to Holly's chagrin.]]

* SuicideIsPainless: Averted in ''someone else's fire''. Chara poisons themself and spends weeks in agony before Asriel decides their HeroicSuicide scheme isn't worth it and has his parents heal them. Later in the series it's also revealed that Chara climbed the mountain to kill themself, and survived the fall with serious injuries. [[spoiler:Played (mostly) straight in ''we light ourselves up from the deepest of pits'', though. It's never stated clearly, but permanently severing one's soul would probably be relatively painless, since souls can't feel physical pain, only emotional pain, and even a temporary severing almost completely disconnects the body and soul. Chara tries to kill themself this way in the last chapter, but Asriel talks them down.]]

While they don't actually die, they spend long enough with their soul almost completely severed from their body that they nearly die, and when they finally return to their body, they wake up weak, white-haired, and overcome with emotion.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Chapter 8 of ''we light ourselves up from the deepest of pits'' consists largely of Chara spending time with their family and cryptically musing about Moses. It's mostly adorable on a first reading, and the air of wistfulness underlying the chapter can be explained away as the fact that the Barrier will probably break soon, changing everyone's lives forever. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that Chara was planning to kill themself all along, and was spending their last day with their loved ones.]]

* HeroicSuicide: Chara frames the poisoning in ''someone else's fire'' as this: if Asriel takes their soul, he can go to the surface, gather six more souls, and break the Barrier. Subverted in that Chara actually is suicidal, they're just making the plan to break the Barrier as a way to justify their death to both Asriel and themself, and also in that Asriel ends up stopping them at the last moment.
