* [[Durarara]] subverts this trope with Celty Sturluson, an [[Celtic Mythology|Irish]] [[The Grim Reaper|Dulla]][[Headless Horseman|han]] desperately searching for her missing head. At first she may look intimidating and a little bit sinister, but soon we discover she is genuinely a very kind, gentle and caring person. For an Unseelie Fae she is actually one of the most friendly and affable characters in the series. [[Moe Moe|She is also afraid of space aliens]]. Of course, as Shinra points out, part of this may have to do with the fact that Celty's an ''amnesiac'' Dullahan. She might not have been so nice if circumstances were different (quarter-Dullahan {{spoiler|Ruri Hirijibe}}, for example is a serial killer with a monster fetish).
