** In the late 20th century the Orieni, knowing that [[ModernMajorGeneral Centauri admirals tended to be promoted for family connections and politics rather than competence]] and seeing the Centauri emperor was trying to end their century-long cold war with full peace, thought the Centauri were led by a weak ruler and thus ripe for being defeated and weakened (not conquered, as the Orieni knew perfectly that the sheer size of the Centauri Republic at the time made impossible to conquer them all in one go), and started a chain of events that made their war go hot. Turned out that Centauri industrial might was just too immense for the Orieni to break their military before the incompetent admirals killed in battle or otherwise replaced by more competent leaders and the Centauri emperor was a formidable ruler that just feared the devastation should the war have gone hot but was more than willing to do everything it took to preserve the Republic, and, after almost ten years, the war ended with Orieni economy collapsed, their military decimated and on the verge of breaking, half their empire occupied and devastated, and their ''pissed'' opponents in orbit of their homeworld deciding to accept the Orieni surrender instead of willingly engaging in genocide.

* ''Series/OneStepBeyond'' has an interesting version. In "The Burning Girl", Alice is a quiet, put-upon young woman accused of starting fires and getting into (sexual) trouble. Fires do start when she's around, but not the way people think, and she doesn't remember what happens.
