* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Mighty Little Defenders'', General Wolf/Chapper used to be a friendly wolf who supported peace between goats and wolves with the help of his goat friend Gogoa. After he got shot with a laser gun, he thought Gogoa was the one who shot him (Gogoa was actually framed for it). A month later, Chapper woke up to find out that the wolf tribe had lost and the leader had died. Chapper found out that Gogoa had left Goats' Village and Chapper was not welcome in the village. These events turned General Wolf against Gogoa and the other goats and he became determined to get revenge.

* ''Theatre/WesterosAnAmericanMusical'': What is seen of Theon Greyjoy's story in the play can be summed up as this. When first seen, Theon is fighting alongside Robb and trying to petition his father Balon, an old enemy of Robb's family, to fight alongside Robb. Balon unfortunately decides he'd rather have a second round against Robb's family instead. Last Theon is heard of, he's reported to have captured Robb's hometown for Balon.

Note that a FaceHeelTurn is harder to pull off than a HeelFaceTurn - at least convincingly. If a character is introduced as likable and heroic, it takes some good writing to properly take them through the CharacterDevelopment required to become the villain. Simply {{Foreshadowing}} that a character could turn evil is not enough. The work has to be put in to get the character to that destination; there are plenty of wrestling examples where this hasn't been done, or the reasons for the turn are so badly thought out that the fans reject it, and the wrestler turns back face shortly after.

In real-life the nature of HeelFaceTurn and Face-Heel Turn is subjective (one person's "[[HeelFaceTurn seeing the light]]" is another person's "[[FaceHeelTurn heartless betrayal]]" [[HazyFeelTurn depending on what group the individual is going to or leaving]]).

* ForcedIntoEvil, whereas the character was still a genuinely good guy, but had his own reasons to be on the bad guys' side while still maintaining a good heart, whereas a character who did a Face Heel Turn is a character who not only goes to the bad guys' side, but also become a genuine bad guy at heart. A character Forced Into Evil can be said about halfway doing a full Heel Turn, but not a full turn yet like the ones in this page (given time, they may make a full turn in the future).

** Nessarose, her sister, goes from a bratty but well-meaning child to the Wicked Witch of the East who, unlike is closer to the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the film's]] portrayal of her than Elphaba. She is named governor of Munchkinland and uses the position to strip away their power in order to keep her husband Boq from leaving her, and when he tries, [[spoiler:she removes his heart, turns him into the Tin Man, and blames it on Elphaba]]. Likewise, Boq goes from a shy boy with a crush on Galinda to [[spoiler:a far more murderous version of the Tin Man, who declares "for once I'm glad I'm heartless - I'll be heartless killing her!"]].

Jack tries to argue against ''his own cause'' at the rally ''he organized'', despite protests from Spot and Davey. Luckily, Katherine talks him down, and he relents.
