** Also, {{spoiler|Meer Campbell}} in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Gundam SEED Destiny]]''. She's a [[Naive Everygirl]] with a pathologically low self-esteem, chosen to {{spoiler|become Lacus Clyne's [[Body Double]].}} She does her job more or less well... but as time passes, the girl's {{spoiler|identity issues kick in}}, she falls in love with {{spoiler|her [[Secret Keeper]] ''and'' Lacus's ex boyfriend}} Athrun Zala and [[Tear Jerker|it does NOT end well for her]].
* Katejina Loos in ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'' is effectively kidnapped by the Zanscare early on. At that point, she comes up with the idea of getting close to them and becoming a spy for the League Militaire. Whether or not that would have been possible ends up being beside the point, as she slowly (or maybe a [[The Scrappy|little too suddenly]]) becomes an actual enemy pilot and a total [[Knight Templar|zealot]] by the end.
* In ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]'', Ryoga initially allowed Akane to cuddle and sleep with his cursed animal form, as a way to piss off her fiance Ranma. It backfired massively when Ryoga actually ''fell in love with Akane'' since she was so kind to his animal form, but had already doomed his chances by sleeping in her bed without her knowing it. Ouch.
* Contractor {{spoiler|Shihoko}} from ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' started up a relationship with {{spoiler|Huang}} sometime in the past as part of a Syndicate mission. While she didn't let any feelings get in the way of the original plan, they ''did'' spark some [[What Is This Feeling?|uncharacteristic pity]] that lead her to pull some strings and give {{spoiler|Huang}} the opportunity to join the Syndicate himself as an alternative to memory erasure.
** Also the cult leader Alma in the same episode. She started out as a typically ruthless Contractor and started the [[Church of Happyology|Friends of the Gate]] as a way of hiding from Contractor-hunting humans and keeping abreast of information about the Gate. Over time, because of the faithful worshipers, she began to believe in peaceful coexistence and genuinely became the spiritual leader she pretended to be. Totally against Contractor stereotype, she was happy to bear the terrible price of using her powers (rapid aging and debilitating health) so that she could appear young before her followers, and also considered it a way to atone for her past actions.

== Fan Fic ==
* Claymade's ''[[The Dark Lords of Nerima]]'' is particularly insightful examination of this trope when a wounded [[Our Demons Are Different|Youma]] from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' is taken in by the ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]'' crew.
* [[The Reveal]] in the middle of Chapter 3 of the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6085808/1/Finding_Freedom Finding Freedom]''. You thought that the [[Beta Couple]]'s main reason for being added in the previous chapter was to give the other main character a boyfriend too or to be the cute established couple? Think again.
