Line 29:
** Erza mellowing out is actual development. It's her obligatory quirk that changes. During her first appearance she has as poor a grasp on normalacy as Natsu. Recent chapters just have her taking everything seriously, no matter how minor.
* For most of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', Nuriko is a brave, funny and extremely likeable warrior. So it's really strange to look back at the early episodes where he acted like a psychotic, possessive [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] about Hotohori, even going so far as to ''nearly drown'' his rival Miaka. And that's not even getting into the [[Suddenly Sexuality]] situation later in the series...
** One might note that when he was first introduced, Nuriko had been living in the imperial harem, surrounded by women all competing with him and each other for the Emperor's attention. It's easy to imagine that cattiness is just a way of life. Once he gets out in the real world with some real friends, though, he mellows out.
Line 73:
* In early ''[[Ranma ½]]'', Kasumi is a largely typical but slightly snarkier [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] rather than the [[Up to Eleven|over-the-top]] parody example she would later become, and Nabiki is pretty much a normal teenage girl and it is even commented on that she is boy crazy before her misanthropic [[Money Fetish]] takes over.
* Ginei Morioka of [[Rosario
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'''s Hajime Saito is well known as the cold, sarcastic anti-hero who views himself as a (very sharp) instrument of justice. But when he first arrives on the scene he's portrayed as a blade-licking psychopath who can barely keep his murderous urges under control.
