* Played with in regards to Nina Sayers in ''Film/BlackSwan''. Nina starts out as a 'good girl' in the sense she's wholesome, hardworking and never puts a toe out of line. But she's also a meek perfectionist who is easily controlled by others (especially her [[MyBelovedSmother mother]]). She [[SanitySlippage starts to crack]] under the immense pressure of her role as the Swan Queen and becomes increasingly aggressive, paranoid and reckless; she stays out late drinking before an important recital, takes drugs, hooks up with two random guys and ''breaks her mother's hand'' during an argument. This culminates in her [[spoiler: fatally stabbing her rival during a physical altercation...or at least it seems that way [[UnreliableNarrator initially]]]]. However, in the process Nina also starts [[GrewASpine standing up for herself]] and becomes more independent. Either way, she could probably benefit from therapy.

Expanded the Song of Ice and Fire examples (Arya, Catelyn and Sansa). I removed the entry about Cersei, because the entry itself outlined why she's not an example of this trope; she was never a truly good or nice person to begin with and her experiences just made an even worse person.

** Bela Talbot. Even if we don't exactly know whether she was good or bad [[spoiler:before she made her deal with a demon]], it was certainly implied that she was somewhat innocent... [[spoiler:and being abused.]]
** Ruby qualifies as well. Before being the demon we know, [[spoiler:who eventually betrayed the Winchester brothers,]] she was [[spoiler:a human witch who lost her soul to the demon Tammi.

* In ''Series/TrueBlood'', [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Debbie]] after getting hooked on V (aka vampire blood). We also have Jessica, who's not evil or anything, but before being turned into a vampire she was a good girl who went to church and classes and obeyed everything [[AbusiveParents her father]] told her, and now she's a blood-thirsty vampire so... you can see how she might fit in here.
* ''Series/TheWitcher2019'': At the beginning of her story arc, Yennefer is a shy, unconfident but otherwise sweet-natured girl who has only ever wanted to be important to someone. After a lifetime of being shunned, abused and manipulated, though, she finally has enough and embraces a pursuit of power, becoming an arrogant, selfish and sometimes ruthless sorceress who does whatever she wants and pushes everyone away. However, Yen's not ''all'' bad and does occasionally show compassion to others; by the end of the first season she's risking her own life to [[spoiler: help stop (or at least slow down) [[TheEmpire Nilfgaard's]] invasion]].

* Naevia begins ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'' as a compassionate and gentle-hearted BeautifulSlaveGirl, who dislikes the violence of the arena. She's then given as a wife to Ashur [[MaritalRapeLicense against her will]] and after he publically reveals her [[SecretRelationship forbidden romance]] with Crixus, she is brutally punished, including being passed around the Roman elites as a SexSlave and [[FateWorseThanDeath sent to the mines]]. Although Naevia is rescued, she's nearly broken by what was done to her and resolves to become an ActionGirl so she'll NeverBeHurtAgain. By the final season, though, her experiences have made her exceedingly ruthless, paranoid and vengeful, bordering on being a TokenEvilTeammate; she is reluctant to show the Romans any mercy, even when it comes to civilians, and pushes Crixus to defy Spartacus to [[RevengeBeforeReason wage war on the Roman Republic]], which ends up contributing to a [[WeAreStrugglingTogether major rift]] in the rebels.
