Line 19: This character type may: * Overlap with [[Anti-Hero]], [[Anti-Villain]], [[Babysitter From Hell]], [[Alas, Poor Villain]], [[Byronic Hero]], [[Cry for the Devil]], [[Designated Monkey]], [[Draco in Leather Pants]], [[Fallen Hero]], [[Good Is Not Nice]], [[Hero with an F In Good]], [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]], [[Nun-Too-Holy]], [[Tragic Hero]], [[Tragic Villain]], [[Tsundere]], etc. * Be subverted if it turns out that their nice side was just an act as part of an [[Evil Plan]], or their cruel side turns out to be a paper-thin facade and they are really a [[Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold]], a [[Noble Demon]], or [[Good Is Not Nice]]. * Be a symptom of [[Grey and Gray Morality]], [[Crapsack World]], [[Fantastic Racism]], etc. Line 27: Contrast [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]], where a pathetic but rarely cruel character destroys everything around them because they have already been broken. Not to be confused with [[Put Them All Out of My Misery]], where a sympathetic villain seeks large scale destruction out of a desire to end misery. Also contrast [[Jerk Sue]], where the author sympathizes with the [[Jerkass]] character, and [[Draco in Leather Pants]], where the audience sympathizes with a character not originally intended to be sympathetic. {{noreallife\|calling somebody this is rude and condescending.}} ~~'''[[No Real Life Examples, Please]]'''~~ {{examples on subpages}} * [[Jerkass Woobie/Animated Films\|Animated Films]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Anime and Manga\|Anime and Manga]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Comic Books\|Comic Books]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Fan Works\|Fan Works]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Film\|Film]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Literature\|Literature]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Live Action TV\|Live Action TV]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Music\|Music]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Pro Wrestling\|Pro Wrestling]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Radio\|Radio]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Tabletop RPG\|Tabletop RPG]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Theatre\|Theatre]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Video Games\|Video Games]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Visual Novels\|Visual Novels]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Web Animation\|Web Animation]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Webcomics\|Webcomics]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Web Original\|Web Original]] * [[Jerkass Woobie/Western Animation\|Western Animation]] {{reflist}} [[Category:Tropes of Legend]] [[Category:Characters As Device]] [[Category:Characterization Tropes]] [[Category:Index With a Heart of Gold]] [[Category:YMMV Trope]] [[Category:Ice Queen Characters]] [[Category:Villains]] [[Category:Sadness Tropes]] [[Category:~~Index~~{{PAGENAME}}]] ~~[[Category:Jerkass Woobie]]~~ [[Category:This Index Has Had a Hard Life]] ~~[[Category:No Real Life Examples, Please]]~~ [[Category:Esoteric Trope Names]] [[Category:The Jerk Index]]
