Line 4: {{quote\|''"I aim to misbehave."''\|'''Malcolm Reynolds''', ''[[Serenity]]''}} The [['''Rebellious Spirit]]''' is an individual who has a beef with society. A large one. One large enough to make that person want to break all the rules, just '''because'''. Rebellious Spirits go ''beyond'' the stereotypical "rebellious teen" and include people who flagrantly violate rules and social norms, act eccentric or weird, and often don't care what people think about them. Sometimes they even lack normal friends and usually lack [[Rebel Relaxation\|good posture]]. They may be [[Chaotic Good]], [[Chaotic Neutral]], or [[Chaotic Evil]], but they are always chaotic. Line 14: == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Yusuke Urameshi from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' fits this trope to a T at first. Since [[Loners Are Freaks]] he eventually changes to fit a more heroic archetype. ** {{spoiler\|It turns out he was picked as Spirit Detective for this ''very reason.'' The former Spirit Detective was too straight-laced and [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation\|went crazy finding out that humans were capable of worse acts than demons]].}} * Mugen from ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''. A true [[Chaotic Neutral]], it helps he comes from Ryukyu (think: seediest place of the Edo period) and did all his surviving on the streets. He basically lives to break stereotypes, making him he logical foil to [[Lawful Neutral]] [[The Stoic\|Stoic]] [[Samurai]] Jin. * ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi\|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' can be seen as a [[Rebellious Spirit]], being eccentric, egocentric and borderline sociopathic as she is, she [[Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers\|screws the rules]] and social norms on an everyday basis. If it's because she hates rules, hates ''those'' rules or just doesn't care about them is [[Alternate Character Interpretation\|arguable]]. ** Please note that we might not be talking about laws and regulations of a society, we might be talking about [[Beyond the Impossible\|laws of nature]]. * [[Naruto]] Uzumaki hated the fact that his village ignored him. So what does he do? Defy all the rules and uses his ninja skills to play pranks on unsuspecting villagers/ninja(including the Hokage), his worst prank being when he defiled the somewhat sacred Hokage monument. Of course he got more heroic as the series went on, but he still has a problem with authority, preferring to do things his own way instead of listening to his superiors. ** Considering his early experiences with adults, he can't really be blamed. * Treecko/Grovyle/Sceptile from the ''[[Pokémon]]'' anime. * Azaka Kokutou from ''[[~~Karano~~Kara no Kyoukai:]]'' is this explicitly,<ref> ([[Brother-Sister Incest\|highlight of this is her unabashedly declaring her love for her brother and moving away to be adopted by her uncle and to enroll in a boarding school specifically so Mikiya will stop seeing her as his little sister]])</ref>, thanks in no small part to her origin being ''taboo''. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 33: *** He's [[Crazy Awesome]] because of this behavior, although you may not like the overall lack of ethics. * [[Ace Ventura]]. C'mon. Just...AceVentura. * Harpo Marx of the Marx brothers. * Charlie of [[Dead Poets Society]] drifts into this sometimes; it's not as clear at the beginning, but by the time he {{spoiler\|nearly gets himself expelled}} for a prank he is showing more traits of this. When {{spoiler\|he actually does get expelled}}, though, it's a much more principled matter. == [[Literature]] == Line 55: * Damon Salvatore from [[Vampire Diaries]] == [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game\|MMORPG]] == * The Minmatar in ''[[~~Eve~~EVE Online]]'' are characterised as loving freedom so much after having been enslaved by the Amarr for a thousand years that a large number of them can't even live comfortably with the government they themselves formed. == [[Professional Wrestling]] == * [[Two Words: Obvious Trope\|Four words]]: [[~~WWE~~World Wrestling Entertainment\|"Stone Cold" Steve Austin]]. == [[Tabletop Games]] == * The [[Our Orcs Are Different\|Orks]] of ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' invert this: "[[Funetik Aksent\|Yoofs]]" who have difficulties fitting in with an [[~~Always Chaotic~~Exclusively Evil]] society may get tired of being told to do whatever they feel like. Some of these malcontents run off to join the Stormboyz, Orks obsessed with military discipline, marching, and uniforms. Since they make good [[Jet Pack]]-equipped assault infantry, the rest of the Orks put up with their deviant behavior. == [[Web Original]] == Line 68: == [[Western Animation]] == * Toph from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', in spite ~~of -- or~~of—or because ~~of -- her~~of—her upper-class background and upbringing. * In the episode "Mona Leaves-A," Lisa Simpson of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' inherits her late grandmother's "rebellious spirit." This later turns out to be part of Mona's [[My Death Is Only the Beginning\|posthumous]] [[The Plan\|plan]] as she and the rest of her family use their inheritance to help Homer escape from Mr. Burns.
