* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': Finn finds out to his dismay that his new love interest, Flame Princess, is evil due to coming from an AlwaysChaoticEvil race of flame people. He discusses the situation with her father, who concedes that if a really good guy (like Finn) liked her then she could possibly be changed to good (although she'd [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons suffer penalties to her EXP for acting out of alignment]]). Of course, Flame Princess doesn't really ACT evil; she's just temperamental, naive, and has traces of BlueAndOrangeMorality about when it is and isn't appropriate to burn things.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Scorpia is trying her hardest at this with Catra. It’s not that Catra is a slob or anything, but rather that she’s destructive, temperamental, and prone to lashing out, as well as being obsessed with winning over her ex-best friend Adora. Scorpia seems to think that if she loves Catra up enough, she’ll be able to heal. As of season three, it’s not working out for her. [[spoiler:Come season four, she comes to the realization that Catra is a terrible friend, and leaves the Horde.]]

* {{Deconstructed|Trope}} with Duncan and Courtney from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''. While they start out as a sweet OppositesAttract couple, things take a turn for the worst when Courtney's ControlFreak tendencies begin to show up. She writes him a ''32-page long letter'' outlining all his faults and how to fix them in order to make him perfect for her. He votes her off for it, but they get back together in the finale. However, when she proves she hasn't learned come the next season, Duncan ends up hooking up with Gwen, who respects him for who he is and has a lot of common interests with him, leading to the end of their relationship.

* ''Series/{{Degrassi|TheNextGeneration'': As there are many forms of featured couples on the show there are the nice main characters, who go for a few "misfit" characters so that they can make them good. Some have multiple examples, such as "cause girl" Emma, Christian girl Darcy, or rebellious high-achiever Alli. Some couples have the trope played straight, some have the partner change but moreso after the couple has broken up, and some avert it ''[[DomesticAbuse hard]]''.

* Aredhel seems to believe this in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''. Her {{Jerkass}} husband Eöl proves her tragically wrong [[spoiler: by attempting to kill their son Maeglin, and hitting her instead]]. Maeglin also turns out to be a {{Jerkass}}. Should have listened to her brother Turgon.
* In ''Literature/UglyLove'', Tate secretly hopes that if she's patient and persistent enough, she can get Miles to open up emotionally and treat her as more than just a booty call, despite Miles insisting that he can't and won't give her anything more.
