* Karkat in ''[[Homestuck]]'' becomes less of a [[Troll]] and more interested in the success of his prior antagonists. And if he's not a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], at least he's a shrewd enough leader to know when to play [[Team Mom]] for the other trolls.

** John, too. As he becomes more of a [[The Messiah|Messiah]] ~~-- especially~~ when contrasted with the other kids' [[Character Development]], which often took them in darker ~~directions -- it~~ can be hard to remember that this is the same guy that who, in his first pesterlog, responded to Dave's gleeful discovery of a bottle of apple juice by joking that it might actually be full of pee.

* Agent Six in ''[[Generator Rex]]'', in the episode "String Theory" where the seemingly mindlessly loyal agent actually defused the nuclear bomb rather than allow millions of innocents to die.

** Cemented later in "Promises promises" when we see how much he had to do with Rex being accepted by the group.

* Due to [[Heel Face Turn~~|Heel Face Turns~~]], Kevin Levin in the ''[[Ben 10]]'' metaseries, and later {{spoiler|Charmcaster. To say nothing of the entire Highbreed species...}}

* While more a difference in interpretation than a canonical evolution in personality, Eeyore in Disney's ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' [[Animated Adaptation~~|Animated Adaptations~~]] was given a much gentler persona in comparison to his original novel counterpart. This evolved to the point that [[The Eeyore|Eeyore]] is distinguished as one of the most recognisable [[The Woobie|Woobies]] in [[Western Animation]].

* Buford from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]],'' who was a bully in his first appearance, a [[Punch Clock Villain]] in his second, and afterward only makes token attempts to pretend he doesn't like everybody else.

* Film historian Leonard Maltin notes that when [[Mickey Mouse]] first arrived on the screens, he was hardly a model of good behaviour. Mickey soon evolved into [[The Everyman]], with the [[Jerkass]] torch being passed to [[Donald Duck]].

** [[Running Gag|You know who else views Mordecai and Rigby as friends?]]

* [[Looney Tunes|Yosemite Sam]] goes from mean in the original shorts to nice in ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]''.

* In the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] episode ''Hurricane Fluttershy''~~--three~~ episodes after we see Angel Bunny at his ~~nastiest--he~~'s comforting a distraught Fluttershy and helping her improve her flying.

* In the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] episode ''Hurricane Fluttershy''—three episodes after we see Angel Bunny at his nastiest—he's comforting a distraught Fluttershy and helping her improve her flying.

** Two possible sources of this: The aforementioned episode featuring an especially nasty Angel was also the one in which Fluttershy {{spoiler|learned to put her hoof down. We see her using a controlled version of her stare on Angel at the end of that episode, which softens him up significantly and instantly.}} Additionally, it has been hinted at before that Angel, despite his jerky nature, genuinely cares for Fluttershy, almost as if he feels that he is the only one who should be allowed to be cruel to her.
