Line 7:
If they go through a [[Break the Haughty]] situation, expect it to have shades of [[Break the Cutie]], as this character is almost always a [[Jerkass Woobie]].
May be a trait of the [[Alpha Bitch]], the [[Jerk Jock]], the [[Broken Ace]] or the [[Small Name, Big Ego]]. Real life [https://web.archive.org/web/20100718231422/https://www.sju.edu/academics/centers/ivrp/pdf/Baumeister.pdf studies] have failed to find a link between low self-esteem and aggression.
A subtrope to [[Seven Deadly Sins|the sin]] of [[Pride]].
Line 41:
** [[The Hunter|Flan Hellsing]] is a "villainous" version. He flaunts how awesome a monster hunter he is, but this is to cover the fact he can't hunt anything besides ''squirrels'', not to mention he's so incompetent ''his friggin' horse'' does all the work for him. [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] indeed.
** [[Knight of Cerebus|Miss Hit]] also deserves a mention. {{spoiler|Being the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of the [[Ill Girl|frail girl]] [[Rose-Haired Girl|Henrietta]], she prides herself as the "superior" personality and tries to [[Split Personality Takeover|replace]] her other self. But the moment she realizes Henrietta is her true self, no matter what she does, has a [[Villainous BSOD]], becoming completely unresponsive upon the reveal.}}
** Heavily implied with [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]]. He's usually a [[Narcissist]], yet he is incapable of taking criticism and his rivalry with the aforementioned Frank seems motivated by jealousy. Especially evident in the second album: he brags to Frank about how he's a much better leader than he is, but when Frank asks him why, [[Armor-Piercing Question|he doesn't know how to respond to that]].
