* Sakura Haruno from ''[[Naruto]]''. She goes from a [[Jerkass]] [[Tsundere]] who beats up Naruto and swoons over Sasuke, to a more vulnerable but quite more kind-hearted [[Combat Medic]]. To be fair, she showed signs of [[Character Development]] even ''before'' she got her iconic [[Important Haircut]]: a scene in the Haku and Zabuza arc has her giving candy to a [[Street Urchin]] and then cries [[Tender Tears]] when she learns how Tazuna's home is due to Gato and his group.

*** As evidenced in "[[Doctor Who
* Ziva David from ''[[NCIS]]'' has in the past couple of seasons evolved softer qualities including a [[Big Brother Instinct|big sister instinct]] for McGee. Though it may be those aspects of her personality were always there and she needed to feel at home on the team.
