Was there ever a more elaborate reason for Chara attempting to murder their human brother or was that always supposed to be up to reader interpretation?
This has been one of the most frequently asked questions since the start of the AU. And for YEARS we’ve kept quiet.
Originally, we were not intending to ever release any information about Chara’s past. The reason for this is because we did not want to encourage people to use Chara’s history as justification/dismissal of their current behavior.
However, we couldn’t help but start to put a little narrative together. After a while, I planned on writing Chara’s backstory right before the big climactic battle in Chapter 09.
Howeverrrrrr (again), this plan got axed because we needed to prioritize the main story and we figured it could continue to remain up to reader interpretation. (We worked in a small reference to it in the Justice/Kindness backstory though.)
Now that the AU is complete, I was thinking about writing a quick little bulleted list about Chara’s past. But, because you guys are so eager, we’ve decided to write Chara’s backstory as a proper chapter instead! Keep an eye out for it!
Just don’t say we didn’t warn you. =)
