Enfant Terrible: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Noir]]'' is a case where the Enfant Terrible gets a bit better, more or less.

* Wen from the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' episode ''Sympathy for the Devil'' is a killer who stopped aging in his childhood after exposure to [[Green Rocks]].

* On a similar note, Cynthia from ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' is a perfect example of this. She's an elite soldier working for her foster father, who enjoys killing and likens it to a game - except she knows she's actually committing horrible crimes. However, her father legitimately loves her and is proud of her for her deeds, so she might just be the perfect soldier.

* In her early appearances, Ririn from ''[[Bleach]]'' used the trope for her facade. During one of the fights, despite everything she had brought down on them, both Ichigo and Renji make note of how hard it is to fight brats, and instead opt to attack her two minions.

** What really mixes up this example is the fact that he {{spoiler|pulls a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Bryony at the end of the book.}} This has the effect of convincing Bryony that he really was evil in his heart all along [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|(it doesn't make sense in context either)]].

* Tara Webster, Michael's little sister from ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book - ''The Cuckoo Clock of Doom'' - appears to gain a sadistic pleasure from making her brother's life difficult, and displays no redeeming qualities at all. It appears that she's ''always'' been like this, to the point that she would make things difficult for her brother even when she could barely speak. {{spoiler|At the end of the book, it's hard to feel bad about Tara's existence being erased.}}

** Coin wasn't psychotic as much as he was just a naive kid guided by [[Freudian Excuse|bad parenting]]. He ''did'' hesitate from {{spoiler|killing Rincewind}} because he was harmless, and when he later {{spoiler|defies his father}} he begins to realize that killing people isn't right.

* ''And the Ass Saw the Angel'' (a book written by [[Nick Cave]], whose musical career provides the page quote) has the character of Beth. The [[Unreliable Narrator]] can't quite make up his mind whether she's actually a demonic witch or not.

* Many/most of the kids from ''[http://skary.net/ Childrin R Skary]'' fit this.

* In [[w:The Backrooms|The Backrooms]], facelings are an "entity" (the M.E.G.'s term for "monsters") native to the place, who resemble humans without faces. Adult facelings are at most mischievous creatures who try to scare humans, and some are helpful and friendly. Faceling children, however, are malevolent, and usually try to torment or murder humans.
