A [[Jerkass]] softens over time, and becomes either a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] or not a jerk at all. Usually this can be due to [[Character Development]]. [[Badass Decay]] and [[Heel Face Turn]] may be involved as well. In some cases this may be a case of [[Characterisation Marches On]]; as the series progresses, the writers realised that a nicer character fit the changing tone better than the original idea.

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* 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.

* In ''[[The Best Night Ever]]'', a core focus of the story is Prince Blueblood [[Character Development|taking several levels in kindness]].
