History NiceGuy / Videogames

* While she isn't the most social or [[TheStoic outwardly emotional person]], Samus Aran of ''Franchise/Metroid'' fame is shown to be a compassionate and gentle woman who wants to make the galaxy a better place. For example, instead of coldly killing the Metroid hatchling, she spares it once she realizes it isn’t hostile, [[MamaBear protects it from Ridley]], sees that it used for beneficial research, and fights through all of Zebes to get it back. She also took the time to rescue the Etecoons and Dachora before Zebes was destroyed and saved planet Aether and the Luminoth from the Ing of her own volition and with no expectation of reward. In ''Dread'', after taking the time to listen to Quiet Robe's plight, she reassures him in the Chozo language that she will stop Raven Beak's plans to conquer the galaxy.

* VideoGame/Kirby is by-far the nicest guy you could ever meet. The tutorial in ''Super Star'' even calls him a "jolly fellow", which he seems to resent.

** Zack Fair, from the ''Final Fantasy VII'' prequel ''VideoGame/CrisisCore''. He's upbeat, sincere, utterly loyal, and just wants to be a hero (in the very best sense of the word). Because of this, he manages to make friends with practically everyone he encounters, including ShrinkingViolet Cloud, the Turks and pre-Nibelheim Sephiroth. Contrast to how Cloud, the main character of ''Final Fantasy VII'', starts out ''his'' story as a vain, arrogant, apathetic asshole who deliberately antagonises his employers, and earns either fawning admiration or loathing from everyone around him until he grows up a little.

** [[MysteriousWaif Aerith]] from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' is rather unsurprisingly, a Nice Girl to a tee. She is the only member of the party who maintains a cheerful and idealistic disposition, the only one who readily offers help to others without expecting recompense (which lets her stand out to [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Cloud, an apathetic and arrogant mercenary]]), and risks herself to save other people (like Tifa and Barret's daughter Marlene) despite not knowing them very well as people. She absolutely loves children: she openly empathizes with the ghost childen of the train graveyard, and is adored by all of the kids of the Leaf House and is one of the few adults they allow into their "secret hideout" even though its existence is an OpenSecret.

** Pelly the pelican, who [[SiblingYinYang greatly contrasts with her sister,]] [[GrumpyBear Phyllis]]. She works the day shift at the post office, and is kind and outgoing.

** Amelia's uncle Sven is the nicest person to have a main role in the game. He is always happy to help Amelia with restoring the café. He and his husband make toys for children in need, and Eve describes him as a "sweetheart". Amelia feels awful that she has to even consider him a suspect in the fire, and when she subtly interrogates him about it, he reveals that [[spoiler:he knew that his sister Freya (Amelia's mother) was the infamous thief known as The Purple Fox, and that he loaned her money for the café but she ran away and never paid it back]]. He helps Amelia rebuild the cafe because he wants her to succeed, not to [[spoiler:get his loan back]].

* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' gives us a [[TheParagon very]] [[AFatherToHisMen true]] [[AGodIAmNot to]] [[TheAce form]] {{Superman}} (the good one from the Main Universe anyway). [[KnightTemplar His Regime!Counterpart]] on the [[{{Jerkass}} other]] [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope hand...]]

** Joe means well when he checks in on Amelia's café despite working at Edwina's, her competitor, because he needs the money to pay for his father's medical bills. Once he's done, he quits his old job to work full-time with Amelia to help save her café and prove her mother innocent of the arson. In fact, [[spoiler:he used to hope that Amelia's café would fail, which was why he was a suspect of the arson, but he quit after paying for his father's medical bills.]]

* ''VideoGame/LoveAndPies'': Amelia's uncle Sven is the nicest person to have a main role in the game. He is always happy to help Amelia with restoring the café. He and his husband make toys for children in need, and Eve describes him as a "sweetheart". Amelia feels awful that she has to even consider him a suspect in the fire.

* After recruiting Iscarion the archer early in ''VideoGame/TheDioFieldChronicle'', a nameless mercenary confronts protagonist Izelar at the player's base, because Iscarion is genuinely kind and thoughtful to everyone...and that's what the nameless mercenary was known for in their mercenary unit and he feels like he's being replaced. He then adds that he tried confronting Iscarion about it directly, but Iscarion reassured him that his contributions to the unit were still meaningful and he was an invaluable part of the group, with Iscarion's niceness towards him leaving him infuriated.

** And from the same guys who made ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', [[AllLovingHero Marona]] from ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'' is this trope taken UpToEleven.

* The ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series, being a classic SwordsAndSorcery setting, has quite a lot of these:
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia'' series, both the protagonist Marth, and his {{childhood friend}} and LoveInterest Caeda, fit this to a T. Both are somewhat subdued, yet charismatic leaders who firmly believe in peace; Marth is extremely forgiving by nature despite what he endures, and Caeda recruits many former enemies simply by being kind to them.
** In the ''VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe'' series, over a couple of generations of heroes:
*** The three Lords of ''Blazing Blade'' are all this to some degree or another. Lyn is a deeply kind person who never stops trying to help people in spite of her own problems, and her empathy generally only fails her with outlaws in general -- due to a traumatic event in her past involving bandits, but she's able to learn to see the good in them as well -- and villainous people in general. Eliwood, like his son Roy (below), is very astute and willing to see the good in people, doesn't allow himself to truly hate his enemies but pity them, and deeply dislikes the ramifications of war on innocents (it's noted by Nils that his father, Lord Elbert was very much alike, if more forceful and decisive). Finally Hector, while somewhat rude at times and abrasive (which makes him seem like a jerk), is very loyal to his friends and more soft-hearted than he's given credit for, to the point his friends like to tease him for his lack of tact contrasting with his inner kindness.
*** Wil, one of the most easy-going members of the army, is very easy to like and be friends with; he also reaches out to befriend people like Florina (who is timid around men in general) and Raven (who is aloof and cynical) and is good at bringing them out of their shells. And when he's confronted with past mistakes, he owns up to them instead of making excuses.
*** Canas, a scholar who studies Dark Magic but insists it's only as evil as its practitioner, is highly passionate about his studies and curious -- a little absent-minded at times, but always well-meaning and polite.
*** Legault, perhaps the most personable agent of the Black Fang -- he [[HeelFaceTurn defects]] after the Fang's falling moral standards are irrevocably corrupted, joining Eliwood's forces when convinced they are in the right, and is kind to those he interacts with. He's also an HonoraryUncle to Nino, who is at ease with his pleasantness.
*** Nino stands out for being cheery and friendly despite being raised by an abusive mother [[spoiler:who actually adopted her, begrudgingly, after murdering her actual blood parents]], inciting protectiveness in those around her and in general not having a bad bone in her body despite her hardships. She's too empathetic for being in the Fang, and only shows anger at the pain others cause (to her and her friends).
*** Roy in ''The Binding Blade'' follows his father's example in being kind and personable with people (if a bit sharper of mind).
** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'':
*** The twin royals of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, are kind people who only express it differently -- Eirika rarely says a bad thing about anyone and values peace and friendship, Ephraim is refreshingly honest and empathetic (even giving an apparent enemy, who tripped while trying to attack him, pointers on how to better use her weapon). Both are willing to do the difficult things necessary, but neither truly enjoy it despite the former's anger at injustice and the latter's love for combat.
*** Franz, as well as his older brother Forde -- both are friendly, easygoing men who treat their comrades well and easily form strong bonds (Franz with Amelia and Natasha, as well as an IntergenerationalFriendship with Gilliam; Forde with his comrade Kyle, and also with Vanessa & Eirika). Both offer their time freely and with a smile, and neither takes kindness in general for granted (especially as Forde raised his brother from a young age).
*** Joshua, a laid-back mercenary of Jehanna who [[TheGambler loves to gamble]], is [[WouldntHitAGirl unwilling to harm women]] or other innocents (even rigging coin tosses despite his already-dreadful luck) and appears drawn to befriending people who are cold, aloof or broken. He also [[spoiler:ran from his responsibilities as prince of Jehanna, but only so as to better understand his people and be a better King in the future]], and his serious side shows all measures of his sincerity of character.
*** Tana, the upbeat princess of Frelia, who puts herself at risk to help her friends and is startlingly willing to die for doing the right thing (in one route, offering to let a conflicted Cormag kill her if he spares Duessel in return).
*** Gerik, an uncommonly-kind mercenary leader who treats his fellow soldiers well and is unashamed to be unorthodox in his line of work. Notable because as a young man he was once brash and arrogant, but after losing a duel to someone out of his league (who left him his signature scar), he learned humility and to treasure both his own life and those of his comrades. Both women in his troop, Tethys and Marisa, are drawn to him for his compassionate nature.
** Several of the characters in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius''.
*** Ike is one of the least judgmental and most empathetic people alive. He's considered to be an exceptionally kind beorc by most if not all laguz who know him. Soren, who doesn't like ''anyone'' else, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe practically worships him for how nice he was in the past]].
*** Oscar is easy-going and polite to everyone even when they annoy him. He's also remarkably self-effacing for [[TheAce all his talents]].
*** Rhys consistently shows great concern even for complete strangers and never bickers with anyone, even when they're pulling dangerous stunts.
*** Zihark is friendly to all the people he meets, and is only willing to criticize others' behavior when it starts hurting other people. He doesn't even have the heart to directly reject [[HopelessSuitor Meg]].
*** Ranulf is an easy-going egalitarian who quickly becomes very chummy with Ike for this reason.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''
*** Chrom, the game's protagonist, is extremely trusting towards his friends, and never lets up an occasion to help them.
*** This is generally the Avatar's personality in the game. [[spoiler:[[DemonicPossession Except when possessed by Grima, of course.]]]]
*** Chrom's daughter from the future, Lucina, helps around camp on her spare time, is very supportive of her friends, and is always trying to improve herself as a leader.
*** Sumia, one of the pegasus riders, is an absolute sweetheart. She seems to care for and love everyone. Except for cows. Cows annoy her.
*** [[CreepyGood Henry]] is a twisted example. While the way he tends to act can freak people out, he genuinely likes helping people. Even if the way he goes about it is completely misguided and a little... unorthodox. Unlike the sour grape that is Tharja, the only time he places hexes on his fellow Shepherds is if they ask him to do so. He just as gladly removes them again if they request him to, with no hard feelings.
*** The Avatar's child, Morgan, especially the male version. Unlike his female counterpart, who is a troll, and has a bit of a sadistic side to her, Male Morgan is generally nice to everyone he interacts with, just like his mother.
*** Stahl is a very mellow and friendly guy and, like Henry, he is completely willing to go out of his way to help (albeit he’s normal about it).
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has a fairly large amount, reinforcing the not so different aspect of Hoshido and Nohr:
*** The Avatar. They grew up surrounded by kind people (With the exception of [[{{Jerkass}} Garon]]), and is naturally kind themselves (in ''Revelations'' and ''Invisible History'' it's revealed that this is largely in part due to their father, [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeVillain Anankos]]' [[LiteralSplitPersonality good half]]]]). The Avatar is possibly one of the kindest and most forgiving lords in the franchise, rivaling the likes of Eliwood and Marth. In their supports, the Avatar is almost always helping or playing therapist to other characters in the army, and their general attitude -- when they don't feel [[TheGadfly mischievous]] -- is one of politeness and humility. Xander even tells them they're too nice for their own good -- and, to an extent, [[FatalFlaw he's right]]. Caeldori also sums it up well in her S support with a Male Avatar.
*** [[HumbleHero Silas]], one of the Avatar's childhood friends (whom they forgot about) is a paragon of kindness. He assures the Avatar that even if they are Hoshido's prince/princess, they're still their own person, and he constantly tries to help out others. He's TheReliableOne and often serves as a WarriorTherapist to the other characters.
*** Kaze is a calm, kind, and polite ninja. He'll join your party regardless of the player's decision. In many of his supports, he goes out of his way to help others.
*** The Avatar's elder brothers, Ryoma and Xander, both of them are surprisingly kind individuals. Ryoma's supports have a tendency to show him trying to help out others and being all-around nice, whereas Xander a calm, kind, and honest man, and raised the Avatar to be a good person at heart (it might have worked a little ''[[AllLovingHero too well]]'').
*** The Avatar's elder sisters, Hinoka and Camilla, as well. Hinoka's described as the most caring person in the army, [[EmotionalBruiser and it shows]]. Camilla, for [[BrokenBird all]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast her]] [[MyBelovedSmother issues]] is also incredibly kind and caring (especially towards the Avatar and Elise) and essentially fills the role of TeamMom on the Nohr side.
*** ''Both'' of the Avatar's [[LittleSisterHeroine youngest sisters]], Sakura (from the Hoshido side) and Elise (from the Nohr side), take this UpToEleven ([[RunningGag notice a pattern here?]]). Both of them are {{All Loving Hero}}ines, with both having unlimited kindness and compassion towards everyone regardless of someone's background. [[spoiler:[[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth It doesn't end well]] for Elise on ''Birthright''. It doesn't [[KillTheCutie end]] [[TakingTheBullet well]] [[HeroicSacrifice at]] [[SenselessSacrifice all]].]]
*** Oboro, despite her hatred towards Nohr, can actually be a kind and reasonable girl at heart that allows her to be the TeamMom for the Hoshidan army. In addition, she also fits into the "Sweet" category should you make her the chef of your restaurant (which is also shared with Midori and Elise, both are also Nice Girls as well).
*** As befitting their RedOniBlueOni[=/=]BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine, Kaden and Keaton. The former loves helping and cheering people up with his fluffy tail, and must always return the favor whenever someone is nice to him; the latter is, despite his [[NightmareFetishist qui]][[BloodKnight rks]], an otherwise genuinely pleasant, affable guy.
*** Effie is very gentle and devoted to those she cares for, especially her lady-of-liege Elise. Effie will protect anyone who needs it with her own life, especially her friends and allies, and sometimes even sufficiently sympathetic enemies, without any regard for her own safety. In ''Revelations'', Azama pretty much calls her a MartyrWithoutACause for it, whereas Leo straight-up questions if she doesn't cherish her own life.
*** Despite his unlucky moments, Arthur, as befitting a [[LargeHam HERO OF JUSTICE]], is an upbeat and friendly guy at heart. [[spoiler:He was even willing [[TakingTheHeat to get himself punished just to protect Azura]] back [[WiseBeyondTheirYears when he was a child/young teenager]].]]
*** Benny. Despite his [[FaceOfAThug intimidating appearance]], he's a genuinely sweet guy. He's noted to always be thinking of his comrades, whom he easily towers over. Additionally, he's a FriendToAllLivingThings, including ''bears''.
*** The Avatar's child, Kana, of either gender, just like their parent. Both of them are more immature about it, but nonetheless both are as kindhearted as the Avatar.
*** Shigure, in contrast to his mother Azura's [[NotGoodWithPeople asocial]] tendencies is very helpful, kind, compassionate, and willing to listen to other's issues.
*** Dwyer, again unlike his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold father Jakob]], is despite his lazy, apathetic attitude, a genuinely nice and caring person as shown in many of his supports, though he apparently doesn't ''like'' being told he's nice.
*** Midori, [[RunningGag like her father Kaze]] is unfailingly nice, kind and sweet to others.
*** Kiragi, in contrast to his father Takumi, is [[{{Keet}} excitable]], incredibly friendly and open.
*** Hisame has many of his supports feature him trying to help out whoever he's talking to, even the odder girls like [[StalkerWithACrush Rhajat]] and [[MsImagination Ophelia]].
*** Siegbert is a near-carbon-copy of his father Xander, right down to the calm, kind and honest personality.
*** Forrest, in contrast to his father [[SugarAndIcePersonality Leo]], is an all-around sweet guy.
*** Percy, just like his father Arthur, is a very open and friendly kid at heart.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' has several characters from all major factions, highlighting the GreyAndGrayMorality of the game:
*** The Black Eagles and Adrestian Empire have Ferdinand, Caspar, Bernadetta, Dorothea, and Petra. Ferdinand is, despite his [[SpiritedCompetitor competitive streak]], generally polite and jovial to the other students and genuinely interested in their wellbeing. Caspar, while HotBlooded, does deeply care for his friends. Bernadetta turns out to be a pleasant person once her crippling shyness is past. Dorothea, while a JerkassToOne towards Ferdinand, is otherwise pleasant (if [[TheTease flirty]]) to be around, and acts as a CoolBigSis towards Bernadetta and Ingrid. Finally, Petra is very positive, understanding, and polite, with this trait actually being noted as admirable by several characters.
*** The Blue Lions and Holy Kingdom of Faerghus have pre-FreakOut Dimitri, Mercedes, Annette, and Ashe. Dimitri is the most polite of the three lords. Mercedes is one of the sweetest members of the cast and wants to help as many people as possible (although Lorenz does get on her nerves). Annette holds no grudge against her estranged father, Gilbert/Gustave, and is very cheerful and kind in general. Finally, Ashe is unfailingly polite and kind, even to people that are hostile to him, and says to Byleth that he genuinely enjoys helping people. ([[BewareTheNiceOnes Unless you're the]] [[ItsPersonal Western Church's bishop]], that is.)
*** The Golden Deer and Leicester Alliance have Hilda, Raphael, Ignatz, and Marianne. Hilda is a sweet girl who proves to be a loyal ally when things get serious. Raphael remains ThePollyanna despite losing his parents to an accident, and acts as a cheery emotional anchor to his friends. While Ignatz is a pushover, he's also a genuinely polite and affable guy ([[OOCIsSeriousBusiness unless Lysithea pushes him too far]]). Finally, while Marianne is NotGoodWithPeople, she's a FriendToAllLivingThings and is shown to be nice once comfortable.
*** The Church and Knights of Seiros have Flayn and Alois. Flayn is a gentle soul who abhors violence and pain, and she actively desires to make friends and bond with people. Alois is a friendly and upbeat guy, if a bit excitable, and Shamir credits him for helping her more noble side show.
*** The Ashen Wolves has Yuri and Balthus. Yuri serves as TheDon of the underground city of Abyss, and has a checkered past, but is unfailingly loyal to his friends. Balthus, meanwhile, is a BoisterousBruiser who is a lot of fun to be around.

* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': Ada is the only other ally who can be made in Act 1 besides {{Jerkass}} Talys, and has a personality opposite to him. Ada is also the one who warns the PlayerCharacter about the unsavory side of another potential ally.

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'':
** [[PlanetOfHats This trope is the most defining characteristic of many yordles]]:
*** Kennen from the Kinkou Order. Justfied as he's "TheHeart of the Tempest". Heck, he's even willing to forgive Zed as well.
*** Teemo happens to be a very friendly yordle scout. May overlap with BewareOfTheNiceOnes since he can be a cold-blooded assassin when on-duty.
*** Gnar is a playful prehistoric yordle who is a kind and friendly guy at heart and befriends people easily who are friendly and playful towards him. Hence, this is one of the main reasons why he manages to befriend [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Lulu]]. [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes Just don't piss him off or you'll face Mega Gnar]].
*** Lulu as well. According to the developers, Lulu is a relatively friendly and kind-hearted yordle at heart and is willing to make friends who are kind, playful, and friendly. Apparently, this is one of the main reasons why she gets along with Gnar pretty well. She also was quick to acknowledge that she did bad things without realizing it when the Yordles got angry at her turning their kids into animals or plants even if temporarily and without malice, and accepted the banishment without much protest.
** Zac was designed by Zaun's [[MadScientist Mad Scientists]], originally as a super soldier, where he is raised by two-caring husband-and-wife scientists as their own child. Despite all the trauma and the original purpose of Zac, he happens to a nice guy at heart who serves as a defender of the helpless and the innocent.

** On the non-superpowered side of things, Steph Gingrich (who appears in both ''True Colors'' and ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeBeforeTheStorm]] Before The Storm'' and is one of Alex's potential love interests) is basically a BadassNormal version of this trope. With everything she's seen and been through over the course of the series, the worst she's come out with are a few commitment issues, which she'll work through if Alex chooses to romance her. She's otherwise exceedingly honest and loyal, to the point where she's [[spoiler:the only character guaranteed to side with Alex in the final confrontation against the BigBad no matter what]].

She's otherwise exceedingly honest and loyal, to the point where she's [[spoiler:the only character guaranteed to side with Alex in the final confrontation against the BigBad no matter what]].

*** Also, the Female Protagonist. While both she and the male lead can [[ChronicHeroSyndrome help out so many strangers]], her own dialogue comes across as being more genuinely cheerful and helpful, whereas the Male Protagonist's dialogue is a bit more dour.

*** The Main Character almost never speaks, but he seems like a really nice person, both in his few dialogue choices (always polite, considerate, and caring) and in action (helps almost everyone whom he meets overcome their psychological issues, works at a daycare center, hospital, ''and'' a tutor). While much of what he does is dictated by the player, his dialogue actions and character's statements on his behavior make it clear that he's incredibly kind.\\
\\
This characterisation continues over into ''VideoGame/BlazblueCrossTagBattle'', where Yu (who is SuddenlySpeaking) gets along with basically everybody he teams up with even though they come from [[Franchise/{{Blazblue}} three]] [[VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth different]] [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} universes]], and even if it doesn't work he still makes the effort to try. He even gets along well with ''[[AlphaBitch Weiss Schnee]]''. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you remember that Yu already has plenty of experience in getting a diverse pool of people with different personalities and abilities to co-operate.

*** Nanako Dojima, the main character's cousin. While it's indicated that [[StepfordSmiler she's not as cheerful as she seems]], she's always kind and polite to the protagonist and his friends, and shows up at some point in the party members' social links [[spoiler:assuming they're done before she's kidnapped]], to offer them words of support, such as telling Rise that she's her fan.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'':
*** The Main Character is a fairly friendly fellow. Like the protagonist of the previous game, he doesn't say much, but he's sociable and kind to those around him. With many of his Confidants, he may even venture into Mementos to track down the Shadows of those who are causing grief to his friends, forcing them to change their hearts and make life a little easier for his loved ones. [[spoiler:This eventually leads to the Confidant finding out about his being a Phantom Thief, but they keep his secret, and in turn, aid him when he fakes his death late in the game.]]
*** Ryuji, beneath his delinquent facade, is actually an incredibly easygoing, loyal, and forgiving person. He almost immediately befriends Joker and is usually one of the most outspoken members of the Phantom Thieves when it comes to doing the right thing.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' -- the [[PlayerCharacter Player Character]] Ritsuka Fujimaru is consistently portrayed as highly kind and compassionate towards the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 200 plus Servants]] and the staff of Chaldea. Mash even describes them as “the most human individual” she has ever met.

** Several of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius''.

** The nicest characters in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' are [[TheChick Merrill]] and [[DeadpanSnarker Varric]], mostly because Merrill doesn't really get how or why to be mean to people and Varric limits himself to poking fun.
*** Varric never goes anywhere without [[ICallItVera Bianca]], and we all know that ''she'' is as vicious as he is snarky.
** There's also the PC's sister Bethany, who very much lives up to Varric's nickname for her: Sunshine. Sebastian also counts, [[spoiler:unless Anders is spared in the endgame, wherein he declares war on Kirkwall.]]
** Cassandra from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', [[GoodIsNotSoft while not apparent]] in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' or at the beginning of the ''Inquisition'', is loyal, fair and kind with all the companions and even an mage-friendly, atheist inquisitor (if the inquisitor doesn't attack her belief in offensive ways she still declares her friendship and swore loyalty to him/her), almost all her banters with other companions include at least one moment when she tries to understand their point of view, and even apologies in name of the Chantry and the templars for their actions, she also fast in try to undo any offense to other companions (for example, when she ask about Bianca to Varric, she reveals her own situation about Galyan). Even though the Inquisition is her work she has no interest in gaining any power herself as she only wants to help people something that Solas find admirable and unbelievable.
** If Leliana is faking it then it's damn good act, throughout the first game she is unfailingly polite and civil, however this takes a somewhat dark turn during her side quest in that she is this way to escape her former life as a trickster assassin. In the second game she can actually encounter Hawke and despite her and Cassandra being desperate for them she doesn't press Hawke into helping them. Even as Sister Nightingale investigating the Chantry's destruction she's more after the truth than the angry Cassandra, and her dark persona is now a mask for the nice girl she is underneath with her tactics straight from the GoodIsNotSoft playbook.
** By ''Inquisition'', [[TookALevelInKindness Cullen]] has very much become one, having let go of his [[FantasticRacism past grudge against mages]] and is completely loyal even to a mage Inquisitor. [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Fittingly enough, the third game also made him a romance option, much to his fanbase's delight]].
*** He no longer hates mages despite his own issues with them, and makes other ex-Templar Inquisition forces treat Inquisition mages and elves fairly.
*** One of the War Table missions involves arranging a political marriage between two young nobles even though the girl is in love with someone else. While Josephine's and Leliana's reactions boil down to "sad but it must be done," Cullen instead offers to help [[StarCrossedLovers the girl and her sweetheart]] elope, politics be damned.
*** Another early War Table mission involves a very cranky old nobleman demanding the Inquisition send troops to force refugees off his lands -- elves and apostates among them. Josephine suggests a polite refusal. Leliana, in a [[OutOfCharacterMoment bizarrely out-of-character moment]], suggests using spies to harass them off his land. Cullen will offer patrols to help the refugees (elves, apostates, and all), ''not'' the noble. If Cullen is chosen, the noble is outraged at the Inquisition sending ''food'' and ''blankets'' to the "filthy savages" instead of driving them off like any ''civilized'' army would do.
*** He asks Josephine to collect funds to help the relatives of those who died at [[spoiler:Haven]], and has a moment with Leliana in which they both gently express their sorrow that the tragedy happened. Despite their differing views and responsibilities, it's intimated that he greatly respects and cares about both of his fellow council members.
*** He seems to generally get along with everyone, even if he would have reasons to want to avoid them. One of Cole's lines implies that Cullen sometimes tells him jokes, and he has no objection to participating in the card game even if Cole is there (and Cole being what he is, Cullen's tolerance is pretty impressive). He also becomes good friends with Dorian, a mage from ''Tevinter'', to the point where their chess game is the only time Cullen seems to actually relax.
** The aforementioned Dorian, despite being a Tevinter mage, as well as [[TheFace Josephine]] also count. Both are unfailingly helpful and again, are romance options.

** Despite his threatening sobriquet, Erik the Slayer is a cheerful and excitable young farmboy who enthusiastically dreams of adventuring and is even happy to help carry the Dragonborn's gear. Erik has a lot of fans among the female playerbase and seems almost ''too'' nice to be a feared Viking mercenary.
** As is Jordis, who is given to you as a house carl if you help Solitude. Honest and sincere, interactions with her paint her as a utter sweetheart and cut dialogue (making her voice a popular choice for follower mods) has her give positive input into your actions, jokes about you whisking her away for adventure and how she just wants to find a nice man (or woman) to marry.
** ''Dawnguard'' gives us Serana, a vampire Dovahkiin finds sealed away, and snarkiness aside is basically everything that vampires and the people in the CrapsackWorld of Tamiral are not. She's polite, supportive, a little shy, and honestly wants to help put a stop to her family. ''Dragonborn'' has the Skall, a entire race of nice guys who are tough as nails Nords living a nomadic life and habitually fight off anyone attacking wanderers of Morrowind before taking these adventurers in as their own.

* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': Ada is the only other ally who can be made in Act 1 besides {{Jerkass}} Talys, and has a personality opposite to him. Ada is also the one who warns the PlayerCharacter about the unsavory side of another potential ally.
