History Fridge / Storyshift

* When Toriel first saw Chara, they were "barely alive". At first, it seems like that was Sans's doing. But later on, Chara says [[spoiler:Sans caught them mid-fall and was gently setting them down]]. So... what happened to them that their injuries were so grievous?

** Another proof would be that, in the ending where Chara both has the possibility [[note]]as Asriel has become the King of the Underground[[/note]] and the [[FaceHeelTurn motivation]] [[note]]as you killed Toriel and Asgore, their parents[[/note]] to cross the Barrier, Asriel's phonecall has him noting that Chara is amassing a big quantity of buttercups... Which implies that they will try to enact the same plan as in the canon timeline. Therefore, when they have the possibility and the motivation (which they don't have in Shift 1 except in this ending), Chara tries to enact the same plan as in the canon timeline.

** While in Undertale it's only implied that Alphys was suicidal and killed herself in the neutral endings where

** Any ending where it's still quite sad when you realise that since Asriel is a boss monster, [[NotAllowedToGrowUp he'll be stuck as a child until he dies]] due to no longer having parents.

* You meet Sans!Chara in the Hall of Judgment. Chara calmly [[FourthWallObserver states that they can see all the lines of data that make up the game]] before judging you based on your EXP and [[KillingIntent LOVE]]. At the moment it's Heartwarming as they look so happy and SoProudOfYou, but when you step away from the desk and think about the WHY of the matter, you get a [[FridgeHorror dawning horrifying realization]] that they spent the whole time fearfully watching those numbers. Praying that they will never rise, or if they do it's not one off their family. And even if you do you're just a RESET away from getting away with it, and no one will ever know.

* '''Warning! Plenty of spoilers for the canon universe, which are uncovered because it would need to cover all the entry!''' Admitting that Chara shares the same backstory as their canon counterpart, which is implied, the reason why in Shift 1 they didn't try [[ThanatosGambit the plan]] they enacted in the canon universe may find a more complex answer than simply "because Chara switched place with Sans". Indeed, in Shift 1, and contrary to the situation in the game, Chara doesn't have an easy access to the Barrier, as his parents aren't the royal family in this universe. Moreover, in order to reach the Barrier, Chara would have to pass King Sans. Given the fact that the last time they met, Sans nearly took Chara's soul [[spoiler:even though he seems as hesitant to do it as canon!Asgore]] (and they were only saved by the intervention of Toriel), we can safely assume that Chara doesn't dare to come close to the castle anymore. As a consequence, they were unable to put in motion any plan that would require to cross the Barrier. Over time, [[MoralityPet thanks to the influence of their family]], [[HeelFaceTurn Chara managed to let go of their hatred]] (at least enough to not kill a human on sight).

* Chara's BerserkButton of accusing people who have suffered as being evil is pretty interesting, but noting to note... until you realize their also talking about ''themselves.'' Chara clearly possesses some self-loathing for being human and it is implied that they grew up in a rough area, thus their disdain for humanity. They think humanity is evil, yet they're human and hate themselves for it. They want to believe that because they have suffered at their hands... the same way monsterkind suffered from humanity, that they are not evil. To them, they suffered and they don't mean to do the bad things.

* The Dreemur family (plus Chara) fill the roles of Undyne, Alphys, and the Skelebros. Remember what happens to those characters in the Neutral and Genocide Routes?
* The Neutral Ending where Papyrus!Asriel becomes king. Sans!Chara is planning to do the same thing he did in the canon timeline, only with a lot more buttercups this time. And thanks to you killing their parents and friends, Asriel will be more willing to kill humans due to seeing first hand how they can be unlike his canon counterpart.

** Considering that a being with both a monster and a human soul can easily cross the barrier, the combined form of Chara and Asriel will be able to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge hunt you down]] at their leisure. [[ItsPersonal Sleep tight]].

* Why does Toriel look more young and fit than her Undertale counterpart, even though she is a full time mother? She is the leader of the Royal Guard, so she does more physical activities than an old hermit on the Ruins.
