Line 206:
* The titular heroine of the [[Honor Harrington]] universe is pretty much this. Many characters in-universe have commented on her parents' apparent precognition at having named her Honor.
* In ''[[Beauty a Retelling of Beauty And The Beast]]'', the Beast explains that his ancestors claimed to have this, and were so obnoxiously holier-than-thou about it that a local wizard decided to curse them in order to teach them some humility. But the curse didn't stick, because they actually ''were'' every bit as pure and good as they claimed to be.
* This is interestingly the quality about women that Ambrosio lusts after in ''[[The Monk (Literature)|The Monk]]''. When it turns out that purty can indeed be corrupted, he turns petulant and spiteful. And violent.
* Seemingly played straight in [[Harry Potter]] with Dumbledore...until the final book: {{spoiler|Dumbledore, the personification of everything thats Wise and Good, turns out to be just as worse as Voldemort during his youth, as he was willing to enslave the Muggles with his friend Grindelwald. A fight on this matter with his brother resulted in the death of his sister, and was the defining event in his entire life, which lead him to becoming the man we see in the books.}}
* Raamo from the [[Green-Sky Trilogy]] is a naive dreamer who hadn't any aspiration higher than to be a weaver, didn't understand the "why" behind all the ritual in his society, and thought his psychic gift was merely "average." He's shocked to discover he's been chosen to become one of the elite and secretive cabal of society leaders. A year's worth of indoctrination, rituals, and honors follow, but it only confuses him more. At the ceremony that "elevates" him to be permanently above and apart from other Kindar, he panics, telepathically shouts to everyone that he doesn't want to be "above" anyone and sends an "I love you" to his family. Neric, the closest thing this society has to [[Agent Mulder]], hears Raamo's mental pleas and is delighted that Raamo hadn't succumbed as so many others had. The whole reason for choosing him in the first place? A [[Batman Gambit]] on the part of High Priestess D'ol Falla to find someone who could not only handle the truth, but could help her [[The Atoner|remedy the things she had done during her career]] that she had come to regret.
