Line 111:
* Saber in ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'' went from someone who enjoyed food a great deal and ate a surprising amount for her size, about five feet tall, and weighsing less than 100 lbs. That's comparable to Shirou and probably slightly more, but less than Sakura, who eats twice as much as a normal person and tries to hide it. However, in the anime adaptation people stop and stare as she eats as much as any two or three of them and does so with extreme speed. Possibly [[Pragmatic Adaptation|the best way]] they could show how important food is to her within the time frame available.
* Kohaku in ''[[Tsukihime]]'' is a gigantic woobie who also sets up a pretty damn [[Batman Gambit]] against the Tohno family. Kagetsu Tohya and ''[[Melty Blood]]'' tend to discard the [[Woobie]] aspect of her character in favor of portraying her as a cheerfully plotting psychopath with a Shiki obsession who doesn't seem to care about masking her goals.
** Akiha started with 'You don't mind that I have small breasts... do you?' and nothing more. But the fans and the sort-of sequels Kagetsu Tohya and ''[[Melty Blood]]'' ran with it until she went from [[Fate Stay Night|Saber's]] breast size and a little insecure to completely flat and willing to [[Fate Worse Than Death|turn you over to Kohaku]] over [[A -Cup Angst|over comments made about her chest]]. Which is, of course, much funnier.
* In [[Final Fantasy VII]] spinoffs and in fan portrayals, Cloud is turned into [[The Woobie]] or a weepy emopants. This has gone so far that many people automatically think of Cloud as an emo. A playthrough, however, reveals a Cloud whose only "emoments" are during moments of extreme stress, EG, the death of a friend.
** It's hard to imagine the Cloud from [[Advent Children]], [[Kingdom Hearts]] or [[Dissidia Final Fantasy]] saying silly things like "Let's mosey!" or "You look like a bear wearing a marshmallow" or "That flame would make crispy critters out of us", but [[Final Fantasy VII]] is filled with such silly lines.
