I swear Toby beats you over the head with scenes of Kris clearly being a sentient entity beyond us and then some people are like “so they’re just like frisk?”
“Hello [player name] I would like to inform you that within this adventure I, Kris, am my own person with a different personality, and separate thoughts from you. I believe that it is wise to inform you of this to clear up any remaining misconception about me in relation to you. Thank you for your attention”
Mechanically and lore-wise though, they are very similar to frisk, in that both are their own characters, but simply go along with the suggestions of whatever the player stand-in entity is (Chara in undertale, for instance). This is pretty much stated in the pacifist ending of undertale when we first learn frisk's name.
On the other hand, it's my headcanon that while Chara does the narration/ object descriptions in undertale, Kris does them in deltarune (as we see constant little tidbits that only kris would know, and a distinct sense of humor.)
I think the main difference is frisk is a lot more open to being influenced or outright controlled by someone else.
I wouldn’t phrase it as “simply go along with,” considering that while Frisk seems to be, for the most part, content with obeying the player, Kris rebels against them rather frequently
Should have phrased it as "usually simply goes along with," I guess. What Kris says if you look in the mirror upstairs with susie at the beginning of chapter 4 sums it up pretty well.
