Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Difference between revisions

* Vincent in ''[[Pandora Hearts]]''. Taking scissors to stuffed toys? Indicative of problems, but not completely unheard of. Taking scissors to {{spoiler|the eyes of Alice's cat? And what about ALICE HERSELF?}} That's not a good sign. It also borders on [[Psychopathic Manchild]] behavior since he still does it as a young adult.

** In confusing flashbacks and illustrations, Alice {{spoiler|or more accurately, the Will of the Abyss... [[Mind Screw|sometimes...]]}} also does this, displaying [http://dragonempress.net/curious/images/pandora-09-05-03.jpg somewhat unsettlingly flirty behavior] with Jack and being cheerfully vicious with Vincent. Eventually leading to yet more of this trope from {{spoiler|''Gilbert''}}, who tries to strangle her.

* The first time we see Akane Awakusu in ''[[Durarara!!]]'', she's gleefully chasing down Shizuo with a heavily modified stun gun and shouting "Die!" It turns out that this isn't exactly normal for her, as she was a [[Cheerful Child]] before she [[The Runaway|ran away from home]] and only did it because {{spoiler|Izaya told her that Shizuo was an assassin who would kill her family.}}

* The main cast of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' are well-known for their (usually) [[Hate Plague]] induced paranoia and murder sprees, among many other troubling behaviors. The four oldest characters are only [[Vague Age|about sixteen]], with the youngest being somewhere between nine and twelve.

=== [[Tabletop Games]] ===

* Wicked witches in ''[[Witch Girls Adventures]]'' and the comics that spawned it are big on [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking|Evil Smoking]]. Children aren't an exception.
