Line 134:
* Arguably, [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]. She learns, rather painfully, that she isn't all that special, and in her quest to make her life special, goes on a hunt for aliens, time travellers, and ESPers after some inspiration from Kyon. This leads to her general sociopathy and her obsession with cosplaying Mikuru. Kyon says that, through her [[Character Development]], she's not exactly turning into a good person, but is ''returning'' to be the kind kid she once used to be.
* Ayato Naoi of ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats]]''. He's kind of a [[Jerkass]] to everyone, [[Ho Yay|except Otonashi]], but when alive, his brother was his father's apprentice in pottery, while he remained in his room, ignored by the world. Then his brother died and he had to take his place, but wasn't nearly as good at the craft as his brother. Having no choice but to live his life as someone else, he began to think that his entire life was a charade.
* ''[[Angel Sanctuary (Manga)|Angel Sanctuary]]'': [[Dysfunction Junction|Pick a character, any character]]. The entire freaking cast is full of [[The Woobie|woobies]] ({{spoiler|[[God Is Evil|save for God Himself]]}}), the overwhelming majority of which are [[Jerkass|jerkasses]] ''[[Black and Grey Morality|at best]]''. One character wins gold on both counts, however. Is it [[Brother Sister Incest|Setsuna or Sarah]]? [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Kurai]]? [[Noble Demon|Kato]]? [[Stalker With a Crush|Kira]]/[[Empathic Weapon|Nanatsusaya]]/{{spoiler|[[Because Destiny Says So|Lucifer]]}}? [[The Atoner|Zaphkiel]]? [[Unwitting Pawn|Raziel]]? [[I Just Want to Be Loved|Astarte]]/[[Sharing a Body|Astaroth]]? [[Broken Bird|Alexiel]]? [[Tragic Monster|Rosiel]]? [[Mad Love|Katan]]? [[All Love Is Unrequited|Belial]]? [[Can't Catch Up|Michael]]? [[The Unfavourite|Arachne]]? [[Lonely Rich Kid|Metatron]]? [[And I Must Scream|Sandalphon]]? No. Believe it or not, it's [[Evil Chancellor|Sevothtarte]]/{{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie|Lailah]]}}. {{spoiler|As an up-and-coming scientist, [[Shrinking Violet|Lailah]] was outshone ([[Unknown Rival|unintentionally]]) by [[The Ace|Anael]] in both work and love. When she finally rose in status, jealous co-workers [[Rape As Drama|raped]] [[Rape As Backstory|her]]. Though she murdered them and [[The Scapegoat|successfully blamed]] [[Love Martyr|Nidhogg]], [[No Sex Allowed|losing her virginity]] (even non-consensually) left her branded a [[Fallen Angel]]. [[Freak Out|Her entire world crashing around her]], Lailah [[Deal With the Devil|sold herself to Sandalphon]], taking a new face to [[Villainous Crossdresser|impersonate a dead male soldier]]. As Sevothtarte, Lailah became a Seraph, Chairman of [[
* Kevin of ''[[Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru (Manga)|Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru]]'' is established as one of these in chapter 66.
* Kuromi from ''[[Onegai My Melody (Anime)|Onegai My Melody]]'' may qualify, giving that the reason why she's acting like a jerk is because My Melody made her life miserable.
