* Niffty in the [[Final Battle]] in the season one finale of ''[[Hazbin Hotel]]''. As hard as it is to say, Niffty is kind of slow, but she really, ''really'' wants to help when the Exorcists assault the Hotel, so Charlie gives her a dagger and tells her to "stab any angel you see". (It should be noted here, neither Charlie nor anyone else expects to survive what is about to occur.)
