Character/Username: Chara / achievementhunter Player: Birb Character Themes: I'm gonna try and keep this short because you both already know most of this but I also want to deviate from the norm and be surprised if you catch my drift here SO
Probably the major symbols of Chara's two directions of development is thematically angels and demons, sort of continuously referenced in prophecies and bad times, depending on what timeline you're in. As far as their story goes, however, Chara's story revolves around the concept of obtaining control, duty, perceived betrayal, and of course, lOvE.
The most immediate color association for them is the red of DETERMINATION, however, there are also very strong tie-ins of green and yellow, KINDNESS and JUSTICE respectively. Past this, purple also sort of sits in the side of their symbolism, though it is strongly tied to the much larger running theme of angel. Lastly, sepia tones also relate to Chara, as this color scheme is only used in-game during memories that involve them, sans (shut up) one.
Imagery-wise, Chara's got-- a few. Golden flowers, knives, a heart-shaped locket. One could argue mirrors but ngl that fits Frisk better imo. Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto is essentially just Chara, the novel.
Sol Raveh also has a fuckin lot of symbolism and character development shifts soooo to run down a few of those:
Their heart knife is now more accurate symbolism for them than the True Knife.
Echo flowers have thematic importance to them
Demons is still a pretty strong theme for them, but it ties more into self-identity than perceived damnation.
holding hands, particularly Frisk's. It's a heavy theme for them currently, as well.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, by Robert Frost
Fire, ironically.
Emotionally, paranoia, spite, bitterness, devotion and heartbreak are probably the biggest for Chara, though exhaustion and fear are up there too. In particular, a fear of being forgotten is a heavy one for them currently.
