Hidden Heart of Gold: Difference between revisions

*** Yup. They were his only chance of getting home, and he had a quest to complete at the same time, so he was pretty much ''forced'' to stay with them. No heart of gold there.

* Evangeline of [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] tries to keep up her reputation as a horribly evil mage, but everyone who actually knows her realizes that that's not really the case. Eva has to keep reminding them that she's ''really'' actually evil, because if she doesn't they keep forgetting.

** Even more is Olivier Mira Armstrong. She lives by the philosophy of [[Social Darwinist|"survival of the fittest" for everyone]], but when her scout team is devoured by Pride and her superior prevents her from sending a search party to find them, her response is [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|slash him with sword]] [[Mama Bear|and shove him into wet cement]], [[A Father to His Men|and send the search party anyway]]. When she sends the search party, she tells them that they only have 24 hours to find the missing scout team. If they don't return before the 24 hours is up, they'll be sealed in the tunnel. However, she gave the guard a broken watch, so the search party would not be entombed in the tunnel even if they went over the time limit. When the leader of the search party thanks her for this gesture, she tells him she has no idea what he is talking about. She makes her contempt for her [[Gentle Giant|younger brother Alex]] clear both physically and verbally, but was horrified when he got pummeled badly by Sloth.

** Greed also qualifies. A massive egomaniac who operates on an [[It's All About Me]] lifestyle, everything he does is under pretensions of helping his goal to obtain everything in the world. He calls his subordinates 'possessions', and will only work with people if they're working ''for him''. But this avarice of his extends to not wanting his 'possessions' taken away from him, which means he'll watch out for and protect his underlings, ''[[Papa Wolf|fiercely]]'', and will stop at nothing to get back at anyone who dares harm them. He'll even dismiss people to keep them out of harms way if they are injured or otherwise not up to the task of fighting. It takes right up until the final battle and some egging on for him to finally admit that his 'greed' was really only a desire for friends.
