* Knuckles the Echidna from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''. He is openly misunderstood for his solitude and serious personality. However, his intentions are good and he acts in a respectful manner whenever someone doesn't make him angry. He thinks differently from the other characters, which leads him to be openly mistaken for {{Jerkass}}, despite him being usually right. There's also the fact that he's a loner due to his duty, rather by his own choice, and his [[NoSocialSkills poor social skills]] are just a result of having been cut off from civilization for most of his life.

* ''Literature/{{NoryRyansSong}}'' has Anna Donnelly, an elderly woman who lives alone and has extensive healing knowledge. Nory and Sean initially fear her and think she's a WickedWitch who has a ''sidhe'' under her table, and it takes desperation to save local girl Cat Neely from being deported over inability to pay rent for Nory to go to her and ask for a coin. Anna only gives her the coin if she agrees to work for her and help her with herbs, and though Nory fails to save Cat because she accidentally dropped the coin down a well and arrived too late before she was taken away, she learns greatly from working for Anna and develops a close kinship with her.

* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'': We first meet Legoshi via what other people think of him. He's a tall and lanky predator who tends to keep to himself, doesn't talk, and enjoys the company of insects. He's initially suspected of Tem's murder, and the terror he induces is played up until he eventually confronts Tem's friend while they're alone, only to pass on a message Tem couldn't deliver before his death. From then on, he's the heroic protagonist.

* ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'': The late "Miser" Madison. The Pick-a-Little ladies imply that he was labeled a miser because he was rich but friendless and think that he only left the librarian job to Marian because they had an affair. It turns out that Mr. Madison did have a friend in Marian's late father, there was no affair, and he got Marian the job out of the goodness of his heart so that his only friend's family would have some security.

* Bruno in ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' is seen by nearly everyone as a strange, creepy HarbingerOfImpendingDoom who abandoned the Madrigal family, and is painted as villainous by the townsfolk. He's actually a noble yet awkward man who sees the future but cannot influence it, and the real reason he left was to protect his ''five-year-old niece'' from his judgmental mother, despite all the misery and suffering it brought on him.

* Ziggy, Jane's young son in ''Series/BigLittleLies''. He has no friends and is considered bad news by all the parents after he's accused of beating up his classmate Amabella, but Jane and her friends defend him due to him being a sweet, sensitive MamasBoy. Jane does worry that maybe Ziggy's [[TurnOutLikeHisFather inherited some of his father's violent tendencies]], but when Ziggy swears to her that he didn't do it, she believes it, since lying just isn't like him. [[spoiler:It turns out that not only is Ziggy innocent, he's actually knowingly TakingTheHeat. Amabella was beat up by their classmate Max, and he said he'd do it again if she told anyone. She was so frightened that when the teacher asked her who put bruises on her, she panicked and blamed Ziggy. After Amabella privately apologized and explained the truth, Ziggy agreed not to tell on Max so he wouldn't hurt her again.]]

* ''VideoGame/StardewValley'':
** Linus, a hermit living in the mountains, deals with a lot of prejudice, mentioning people do things like destroy his tent and throw rocks at him. He acts cold and standoffish at first, assuming you're going to ridicule him, but as you befriend him, he warms up and expresses gratitude that you respect his lifestyle even if you don't understand it.
** The Wizard is a downplayed example. Despite his sinister reputation that comes from living alone and practicing magic, he doesn't use his power for malicious purposes, and helps you in your quest to restore the Community Center should you go that route. However, he's still an InsufferableGenius, and it's implied the reason his wife left him is because he cheated on her (with a married woman, no less).
