* In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' and ''ShadowTheHedgehog'', the memories of the titular AntiHero are haunted by [[CynicismCatalyst his friend Maria who was murdered 50 years prior.]] Due to [[FalseMemories false recollection]], he spends the majority of the first game (and, [[MultipleEndings depending on your options]], some of the second) avenging her death by attempting to destroy humanity, but after a revelation in both cases, he remembers her last wish to bring peace to her people.
** One of the odder cases, in that Maria is not so much the thing keeping Shadow on the side of good as she for a long time the only thing motivating him to do anything at all - good or evil. His belief that she wished him to avenge her motivates him to attempt to kill everyone on the planet - including himself - by bringing a[[Colony Drop Space Station]] he lived on out of orbit. His belief that she wanted peace for all motivates him to save the planet from the station, but entirely for her sake without pretence that it's his own goal or even morality that he's following. After which he may even have attempted to kill himself by falling into the atmosphere. Maria isn't so much the morality chain keeping him on the side of good as she is the morality chain giving him any sort of morality at all. Without her input he could be considered almost amoral and certainly apathetic.
