Hidden Depths: Difference between revisions

People are rarely all that they seem at first glance. Without getting into [[An Aesop]] about [[Metaphorgotten|books and covers and ugly ducks and swans and frogs that when kissed turn into robots]]; it's fairly true to say that people are mostly visually oriented, and go by first impressions. So when it turns out that [[The Big Guy]] who can bend steel bars is also [[Genius Bruiser|a Harvard alumnus]] with a [[Alliteration|penchant for pontificating on the power of prose]], people are justifiably taken aback.

 

 

This might take a while to fill:

If the audience is aware of the depths but not all the characters are, [[Dramatic Irony]] is almost bound to occur. If it happens gradually, it's essentially [[Flanderization]] in reverse. May be demonstrated when a character catches the [[Smart Ball]].

** Also, Negi, who seems like a sort of inept cheerful little kid... and turns out to be rather tragic with no idea of how to actually enjoy himself. Apart from angst issues, it's implied that searching for his father is a way to cope {{spoiler|with the intense rage and hatred that the destruction of his village caused.}}

** Nodoka is also a great example. She begins the series as an ''extremely'' shy [[Shrinking Violet]], but as the series progresses, it becomes clear that she's one of the most courageous characters in the entire thing.

* This trope is a key part of ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]''.

** Yosuke seems like he hasn't got a care in the world, {{spoiler|but he's really bored with everyone and everything in his life.}}

** Dojima has spent so much time dedicated to his work, {{spoiler|he's never taken up the role of father the way he should have.}}

** Nanako is a sweet young lady {{spoiler|with abandonment issues brought on by the fact that her father never seems to have time for her.}}

* All of the characters from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', though especially the main trio: [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Tsuna]], [[Beware the Nice Ones|Yamamoto]], and [[The Smart Guy|Gokudera]].

** Of course, sometimes Naruto is genuinely happy. Either he's a master [[Stepford Smiler]] (able to trick everyone into thinking he's happy when he's not) or else he is a master of [[Angst? What Angst?]] (genuinely able to be happy in circumstances that would daunt anyone else).

*** It appears that he started of as a [[Stepford Smiler]], but undergoes [[Becoming the Mask]] sometime before the series starts. It still cracks from time to time though.

* From ''[[xxxHolic]]'', {{spoiler|Himawari}} seems to be a cheerful, happy go lucky girl with no connection to the spirit world or heavy burden for quite a long time in the manga, but turns out to be a type A [[Stepford Smiler]], due to {{spoiler|her innate ability that brings everyone around her bad luck. Therefore it causes her a lot of grief.}}

* In the ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]] Enishi'' episode "Tennis" (based on manga chapter 73), Kaoru wonders is Aoi is going to embarrass herself at the game like the rest of them have been doing all day. Turns out the resident [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] is very skilled, having learned from [[Harem Nanny|Mayabi]]. It's apparently only one of her "secrets".

* [[Ouran High School Host Club]]. Just about every person. Special mention goes to the twins and Kyouya, though.

* [[Durarara!!|Kida Masaomi]]: the [[Keet|cheerful]], [[Casanova Wannabe|flirty]] [[Bromantic Foil]] to his best friend [[Nice Guy|Mikado]]. Turns out that he's {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie|broken]] due to [[My Greatest Failure|what happened to his girlfriend]], [[Stepford Smiler|not as chipper as he acts]], and a [[Badass]] [[One-Man Army]] that took out several rival gangs ''single-handedly'' during his time as the shogun of the Yellow Scarves.}}

** ''[[Durarara!!]]'' does this a ''lot''. Ikebukuro's [[Axe Crazy|apparent anthropomorphic personification of rage and violence]], Shizuo Heiwajima? Actually an otherwise quiet, unassuming sort fighting a losing battle with [[Hair-Trigger Temper|a very severe rage disorder]] and [[I Am a Monster|more disturbed by his outbursts]] than anyone else. Masaomi's timid best friend, Mikado? {{spoiler|He weaponized 4chan and demonstrates some serious [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]-esque tendencies when pressed}}. The [[Martial Pacifist]] [[Gentle Giant]], Simon? {{spoiler|He's [[The Atoner]], with a history in both [[The Mafiya]] and [[Former Regime Personnel|the KGB]]}}. Cute, shy little Anri? {{spoiler|[[Broken Bird|Emotionally stunted]] ''[[Hive Queen]]'' who somehow manages to be [[Neutral Good]] [[Bad Powers, Good People|despite having powers that include]] [[Mind Rape]] and [[Mind Control]]}}. The Headless Rider? {{spoiler|She's a gentle and compassionate girl, plagued with doubts and insecurities just like anyone else.}} The otaku group? {{spoiler|Torture technicians, but loyal to their friends nonetheless.}}

{{quote|<ref>''"The girl thought about her mother and father. About her father's lover. They all had secrets she'd never know about. And was that so terrible? Perhaps they weren't as selfish or evil or corrupt as she had once thought. Maybe their behavior wasn't a sign of weakness or some kind of compromise. As she looked for the way home, she thought about forgiving them, and keeping it a secret. Ever since then, the world had looked different. Everyone she saw had their own lives to live, with their own little secrets. And she realized; that was normal. Even these two, as normal as they seemed, probably had secrets of their own, feelings they could never tell anyone. And she found herself thinking how wonderful it would be, if she could tell someone what she had learned: That the world wasn't as terrible as you think."''</ref>}}

* In ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', Dia initially appears to be a simple, slow-witted [[Big Eater]] who pretty much went with whatever Pearl wanted, but it turns out he is far more thoughtful, sensitive, and empathetic, not to mention he desired to be on more equal terms with his best friend. He was able to piece together that Lady Berlitz wasn't a tour guide and that he and Pearl weren't supposed to be with her in the first place, but he kept quiet because he was afraid that saying the truth would be the end of their journey together.

* ''[[X-Men]]'': Toad, of all people, has some depth to him. While being Magneto's [[Butt Monkey]] for years, he's become quite a skilled mechanic; and while not innovative, can reproduce pretty complicated devices. He also grew a spine, ''led'' his own version of the Brotherhood, and was one of the [[The Chessmaster|chessmasters]] behind the resurrection of the reality-warping Proteus.

* Most of the kids from ''[[Runaways]]'' fit this trope one way or another, particularly [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Chase]], [[Sugar and Ice Personality|Gert]], [[Obfuscating Stupidity|Molly]], and [[Lipstick Lesbian|Karolina]].

** Ben Grimm's Depths are lampshaded in ''Fantastic Four vs. The X-Men,'' when Rogue kisses him, stealing his powers and psyche. "She expected to be kissing a toad. Instead she's touched the heart of a prince."

* [[Superman]], [[Batman]] and many other heroes play this with their alter egoes- Clark Kent is a mild-mannered, occasionally clumsy reporter, who no one would suspect of also being the Man of Steel; Batman is a terrifying vigilante, one that many believe is actually a mythical monster and some deny the existence of entirely, while no one at all would consider linking him with [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job|shallow, lazy playboy Bruce Wayne.]] In many stories, though, their identities are also shown to surprise other characters-Clark is also a brilliant, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who can prove to be incorruptible and brave (evident when Supes loses his powers), while Wayne is also a highly respected philanthropist with a far cleaner business record than his playboy persona might suggest; also, while the death of his parents is public knowledge, most people don't seem to be aware of it.

 

== Film ==

* Pretty much the whole point of the [[Breakfast Club]], the students reveals plenty of emotional baggage that they never spoke before to their friends or family.

* ''[[Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day]]'' - Both Delysia, a ditz, and Miss Pettigrew, a governess have a lot more depth than their labels who imply.

** Vimes also seems to have a lot more to him than [[Noble Bigot]] [[Cowboy Cop]]. But in his own words "He knew he had hidden depths. There was nothing in them he wanted brought to the surface".

*** Carrot, while initially innocent and naive, later develops this in spades. He's so good at it that even career con-man Moist von Lipwig can't read him.

** Some trolls get this in low temperature environments, especially Detritus.

** History Monk Lu-Tze has some pretty deep hidden depths.

* ''[[Raptor Red]]'' - Red's sister is, for most of the story, a manic, easily-angered character who is deeply suspicious of almost every creature that isn't her sister. Imagine Raptor Red's surprise (as indicated by the page quote) when she finds her playing slide-down-the-snow-hill with a pack of ''Troodon''.

* [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' - most hobbits have these. Check "The Scouring Of The Shire". Early in the book, when Frodo reveals his to Gandalf, it's even lampshaded a bit.

* In [[Jim Butcher]]'s [[Dresden Files]] novel ''Death Masks'', Michael reveals that his wife Charity made his armor. In ''Proven Guilty'' you find out she also spars with Michael, has her own armor, and was a dark magic witch who was sacrificed to a dragon (which is how she met Michael). In the same book Charity and Harry storm the heart of the Winter court Artic Tor to rescue Molly.

* In the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' novels the elven princess Laurana is initially regarded as little more than a [[Brainless Beauty]], but when challenged she proves to be a brave warrior, skilled diplomat and inspirational leader whose innovative tactics lead her army to a series of remarkable victories in the Vingaard Campaign.

* In Suzanne Collins's ''[[The Hunger Games|Catching Fire]]'', at the end, Katniss learns she's the [[Unwitting Pawn]]. Who is the mastermind? {{spoiler|Haymitch. The lush. Who suffers from [[D Ts]], so he's not faking the drunkenness.}}

* In the ''[[Matador Series|Matador]]'' series by Steve Perry, [[Only One Name|Sleel]] is initially portrayed as a [[Badass]] [[Loveable Rogue]] <ref>one of his friends actually ''used'' the words "loveable rogue" to describe him</ref> with a complex about always proving he's the best. Then he's found browsing in the '''philosophy''' section of a bookstore, casually quoting poetry, and being able to spot a deception that fooled everyone else in his team. And '''then''' it's revealed that he {{spoiler|has a doctorate in poetic literature, wrote several best-selling novels, and used the proceeds to set up a foundation caring for orphaned children}}. Oh, and his name is actually an acronym of his [[Parental Neglect|neglectful]] parents' initials.

{{quote|''"You are thinking, Kull," said the old statesman, suddenly, "that Ka-nu is a useless old reprobate, fit for nothing except to guzzle wine and kiss wenches!" In fact, this remark was so much in line with his actual thoughts, and so plainly put, that Kull was rather startled, though he gave no sign. Ka-nu gurgled and his paunch shook with his mirth.

"Wine is red and women are soft," he remarked tolerantly. "But—ha! ha!—think not old Ka-nu allows either to interfere with business." '' }}

* The 3 cops of [[L.A. Confidential]]. Bud is frustrated with being the [[Dumb Muscle]], Exley is a squeaky clean hero cop ready to sell anyone out for a promotion and Jack wants to do real cop work but he's hip deep in corruption that's it's hard to escape.

* In [[The Pale King]], Chris is surprised when his father quotes a famous poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The again, he didn't know much about his father in the first place...

'''Carly''': Yeah, a little.

'''Freddie''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Wow, that's never been established.]] }}

** Further, Shepherd Book can order around the crew of an Alliance starship, which raises more than a few questions about his history.

* [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] of ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' shows unusual sides that one wouldn't expect of a Terminator, having an interest in history and dancing, and showing a pretty impressive set of investigative skills. And there's also the fact that she {{spoiler|is apparently self-evolving, as shown in her rapid response and recovery time in "To The Lighthouse."}}

** starts with the appearance of a beautiful and cold robot woman entering a building, played by underwear model Tricia Helfer. She later turned out to be one of the best actors on the show and played some of the more sympathetic and complex characters, including the abused Gina and at least two others. Playing many Number Six clones with different personalities really let her display a lot of range. Completely unexpected after the obvious hiring of [[Ms. Fanservice]] in the first place.

** Ellen Tigh is introduced as a manipulative, deeply selfish woman. She is an alcoholic, she's promiscuous and she enables Tigh's worst excesses. {{spoiler|Eventually, it is revealed that she is a Cylon; and really a caring, profoundly religious, genius scientist, albeit an alcoholic and manipulative one.}}

** Gaius Baltar is an arrogant intellectual {{spoiler|who grew up on a farm and is ashamed of his [[Fantastic Racism|'hick' heritage]].}}

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' character Barney Stinson started out as a fairly one-sided [[The Casanova|Casanova]] but has been given a detailed [[Backstory]] and is now a [[Ladykiller in Love]]. He has also shown emotional vulnerability in unexpected places, such as when his brother James revealed that he (James) was going to adopt a baby with his soon-to-be husband. This well-rounded development of what initially seemed to be a fairly [[Flat Character]], along with Neil Patrick Harris's acting, has turned him into an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]], and he is now far more popular with fans than any of the other characters who were originally more central to the story.

* James Fullalove from two of the ''[[Quatermass]]'' serials is a reporter for an evening newspaper who is fluent in Medieval Latin.

* Jay in ''[[The Inbetweeners]]'' seemed to be nothing more than a disgusting pervert and liar at first (although he was always shown as a good friend), but in the season one finale he temporarily entered a very reflective mood and revealed some of his vulnerable side. Then in the second season he got into a relationship and revealed himself as a [[Chivalrous Pervert]].

* That's the beauty of ''[[Lost]]''. The first few episodes of the series seem to fool us into thinking we know which characters to root for until their flashbacks and centric episodes reveal a whole 'nother story before the first season is even over!

* Det. Eddie Alvarez from ''[[The Unusuals]]'' came off as a naive, self-centered, overambitious jerk at the beginning ... but underneath that is a natural police detective conversant in a startlingly diverse range of languages.

** Also Sue Sylvester starts off as a [[Complete Monster]] (albeit, a hilariously awesome one), but we've come to see some of Sue's depths, most notably being that though she may work her Cheerios like dogs and say horrible things to... well, everybody, she genuinely cares about the students and their well-being (aside from a certain Wallbanger about a human cannonball). We also learn about Sue's back story, which begins to explain some of her behavior.

* In the US version of the ''[[The Office]]'', when Jim plays opera music to block out Dwight's listening device and asks Andy's opinion of the music as a cover, Andy knowledgeably criticizes it, and Creed, who had shown no sensitivity in the previous 5 seasons, starts crying.

* Similar to Six ''Galactica'', when Jeri Ryan was added to the cast of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]]'', and especially when the promo photos of her in a skintight silver catsuit demonstrating that even the Borg can have large breasts, most people were expecting little but [[Ms. Fanservice]] and a character who would end up being a shallow [[Distaff Counterpart]] to [[Star Trek|Spock]] and [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Data]]. However, the writers (and Jeri Ryan) were apparently so determined to prove she wasn't just hired for her appearance that soon the entire series revolved around Seven of Nine and she quickly emerged as one of the most interesting characters on the show. The only other character to challenge her for that spot was the holographic Doctor, who himself had become an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].

** And then they had an episode where Ryan got to actually act like the Doctor, which provided a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* Detective Gumshoe of [[Ace Attorney]] is incredibly incompetent as an investigator, and his salary is so low the police hire him more out of pity than anything else. However, he's popular with the recruits, looks after the police dog Missile, is a relentless [[Determinator]], fiercely loyal to his friends, able to stand up to a room full of mafia men and survive and always manages to find that one crucial clue when the heroes need it most. Hell, one of his songs is called 'I can do it when it counts, pal!'.

** Several other characters too, Edgeworth starts out as a typical 'evil rival', but is really a kind hearted man dedicated to justice, a huge (though secret) fan of the Steel Samurai and earned his reputation as a prosecutor. The Judge is borderline senile and easily swayed, but speaks fluent Spanish and will shout down the most feared legal figure in the country if it means uncovering the truth in a trial.

** Ganondorf, suprisingly enough, also has some hidden depths. While he is almost always a [[Card-Carrying Villain]], in ''The Wind Waker'' (which takes place after he had been sealed for hundreds of years, ''twice'' - once in the Dark World and once under the ocean), he is much more calm and seems to regret a lot of what he did in the past. But then at the end of the game [[Laughing Mad|he]] [[Taking You with Me|completely]] [[Villainous Breakdown|snaps]].

* Tsugumi of ''[[Ever 17]]'' is quite obviously not all she appears. First she seems like a total [[Jerkass]] but since she's rather attractive and around the same age as the hero, we assume [[Tsundere]]. But then she's mean to everyone, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|except when she isn't]] so then maybe she has a [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]. Finally, [[Cry Cute]], [[Broken Bird]], [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]], [[Properly Paranoid]], [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] and a good many other tropes to finally show who Tsugumi really is.

* According to ''[[Poker Night At the Inventory]]'', it turns out that [[Team Fortress 2|Heavy Weapons Guy]] is the only one of the characters that went to college, and while there, he earned a PhD in Russian Literature. Therefore, he is ''DR.'' Heavy Weapons Guy. So much for being the [[Dumb Muscle]].

** He also shows a certain amount of remorse for how he got to where he is now (listen for his "sparrow" story).

* The characters of ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors]]'' were developed by building them upon stereotypes, then subverting them, according to an interview.

* Dante from [[Devil May Cry]], Though his main persona is the same in each game, chronologically he matures quite a bit, witness his change from thrill seeking(DMC 3) to guilt ridden(DMC 1) to cool headed(DMC 4).

** Taokaka, a Cloudcuckoolander [[Catgirl]] who forgets things in every 3 steps, {{spoiler|her race is actually cloned offsprings of Jubei, one of the Heroes that saved the world.}}

** Iron Tager, a hulking cyborg fighting with [[Science Hero|THE POWER OF SCIENCE]], and programmed to be loyal to a fault by Kokonoe, {{spoiler|is actually a dead Ikarugan man whose soul was transplanted into his current body.}}

** Arakune, said 'friend-turned-into-[[Eldritch Abomination]]' above, only obsessed in eating Kaka kittens and hunting down Ragna's Azure Grimoire to be consumed, {{spoiler|[[Was Once a Man]] named Lotte Carmine, whom Litchi loved... but he himself ignores her and is a glory-hound and suffers ''massive'' inferiority complex, always trying to one-up Kokonoe and constantly failing, eventually leading him to that experiment that turns him into Arakune.}}

** Bang Shishigami, [[Highly-Visible Ninja]], Tokusatsu/Shonen satire character, Ikaruga War survivor, who's got a one-sided crush on Litchi, the designated [[Joke Character]], {{spoiler|actually is aware of the greying morality of the world, savvy enough to pull back when things come to push (as shown with Hazama), as well as possessing an inactive Nox Nyctores that could really up his relevance.}}

 

== Web Comics ==

** Even Penelope came to the exact same conclusion. It seems that the only ones who haven't caught on are Faye and Dora.

*** Maybe just Faye. Dora knew Raven had gone back to college, switching majors to physics.

** Prince Zuko: [[Badass]], [[Determinator]], [[Evil Prince]] -turned- {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}, is also a [[Momma's Boy]] and a lover of Turtleducks. In the "Ember Island Players", he gives hints that he does like theater, but just dislikes that specific group because while they have great special effects, they tend to butcher their stories.

* At first glance, it would seem that Clay of ''[[Moral Orel]]'' is just a jackass. A flashback to his childhood would reveal that, due to the [[It Makes Sense in Context|quirks of his abusive father]], he only feels loved when his loved ones are hurting him. However, he accidentally goes too far several times and becomes so ''pathetic'' that he fails to provoke an angry response.

* Black Steve on G4's ''[[Code Monkeys]]''. This actually seems to be a bit of his gimmick on the show with fact he is well, black. He constantly gets angry and goes into angry black man rage when people expect him to go with a stereotype or things he is not something cause he is black. So far it's shown he is a Harvard graduate, a former professional wrestler known as "The Black Shadow," and speaks Japanese while he also manages the money of the company.

* Mr. Crocker from ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' is a crazy teacher obsessed with catching a fairy. His past was explored in depth in the special episode ''The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker'', which revealed that {{spoiler|Mr. Crocker not only had fairies himself in his childhood, but he had Cosmo and Wanda, and was quite sane and similar to Timmy Turner, the main character, at age 10}}. Most later episodes support this fact, but {{spoiler|exactly which fairies Crocker had are contradicted}}.

'''Tony''': Pepper, I don't think this is the time -

'''Pepper''': No, really! This guy has serious issues. Use it. ''Push him.'' }}

* Parodied in ''[[American Dad]]'' when he revealed the bartender did gay porn to pay off his gambling debts.
