Line 13:
Some starting points for Grew a Spine is [[Extreme Doormat]] or [[Shrinking Violet]], but the character might just be inexperienced and unsure of themselves. After all, this is all part of growing up. May coincide with [[Took a Level In Badass]] or [[Sudden Principled Stand]]. Has nothing to do with the evolution of vertebrate animals.
{{examples
== Anime ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Shinji tries to be more self-assertive and confident throughout the series. It backfires horribly until the very end, where his determination to live no matter how much life sucks finally lets him [[Earn Your Happy Ending|earn a happy ending]].
Line 50:
== Western Animation ==
* Edd of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' had a few moments of this, notably in "The Day The Ed Stood Still" when he scolds Edzilla ({{spoiler|who is Ed in a monster costume}}) for {{spoiler|kidnapping the kids and sticking them onto his wall.}}
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]] does this after assertive training under the minotaur Iron Will. [[Took a Level In Jerkass|She takes it a little too far]] [[Gone Horribly Right|for a while, though]].
