* '''Straight''': [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Alice]] seems like a gentle, [[SugarAndIce reserved]], [[{{Meganekko}} glasses-wearing]] beauty, but turns out to have a [[FourEyesZeroSoul much darker side]].

** BaitTheDog

** Alice is a very nice and friendly person in public, but a {{Jerkass}} in private...but it turns out that she is still a fundamentally good person, just [[GoodIsNotNice a bit rougher]]...however, ''that'' turns out to be yet another layer, and she's a manipulative villain underneath...except she's AffablyEvil. Actually, she's FauxAffablyEvil, but she is also a WellIntentionedExtremist. No, wait, [[VillainWithGoodPublicity that was just a front to gain publicity]]... Or was it? [[RunningGag It turns out that while she is a well-intentioned extremist, her means of bringing a utopia seem unnecessarily evil to everyone but her, so she has to put up a front anyway. Well, that is until she reveals her true colors - an evil supervillain.]] [[OverlyLongGag Or is she? It turns out that another, bigger supervillain with the unusually mundane name of Bob was staging the reveal. But then it turns out that she IS evil anyway, and she joins Bob's cause. No, wait, she's just a]] [[ReverseMole Reverse Mole.]]

* '''Enforced''': "Crap, the audience wants Angelo with Jennifer, but we can't just kill Alice off. I know! Let's 'reveal' that she's actually been pure evil underneath all along and just pretending to be sweet! It couldn't possibly fail!"

** Angelo personally investigates everyone he comes into contact with to ensure he won't be fooled by a pleasant act.
** Angelo calls Alice out for only pretending to be nice, and convinces her to drop the "sweet" act entirely.

** Alice literally turns into a snarling, drooling monster the second everyone but Angelo aren't paying attention. Of course, [[CassandraTruth nobody believes his babbling]] about her horrible alter-ego.
** Alternatively, the character Angelo, hurt by Alice, sets her up with the even worse character Charlie. Alice proceeds to get her just desserts to Angelo's amusement.

** Alice lures Angelo into an abusive relationship, then plays the WoundedGazelleGambit when he tries to tell others, leaving everyone hating him and rallying around her for support.
** Again, Angelo is hurt by Alice and he sets her up with the worse character Charlie. Alice gets her just desserts and more. It becomes so bad that Alice is emotionally and/or physically abused much worse than she abused people. Even when she repents she is still stuck with Charlie. Bonus points if Angelo [[KickTheDog refuses to help]].

** [[IncorruptiblePurePureness On the outside, Alice donates to charity, does community service, and was voted the most friendly person in the world]], but really, she is a literal DevilInPlainSight who kills people on a constant basis after raping them, be they men, women, [[WouldHurtAChild kids]], [[WouldHarmASenior seniors]] [[AndYourLittleDogToo dogs, or cats]].

* '''Justified''': Alice has a position or family life which requires a high amount of charisma or a constant facade of amiability. Since she can never appropriately express negative emotions or opinions, they come out in inappropriate or exaggeratedly abusive mannerisms.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is a very nice and friendly person in public, but a {{Jerkass}} in private...but it turns out that she is still a fundamentally good person, just [[GoodIsNotNice a bit rougher]]...however, ''that'' turns out to be yet another layer, and she's a manipulative villain underneath...except she's AffablyEvil.

'''Basic Trope''': An apparent NiceGuy / NiceGirl turns out to be anything but.
* '''Straight''': [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Velvet]] seems like a gentle, [[SugarAndIce reserved]], [[{{Meganekko}} glasses-wearing]] beauty, but turns out to have a [[FourEyesZeroSoul much darker side]].

** Velvet is practically a DevilInPlainSight, acting kind and sweet in public, but being a horrible, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative monster]] to anyone she gets alone, to the point where it's amazing she's able to mantain the facade at all.

** SheepInSheepsClothing
** Velvet is a lot meaner in private than she is in public, but it's [[LoveHurts because she's afraid to get close to anyone]] after [[FreudianExcuse previous bad experiences]].
** Velvet really ''is'' [[IncorruptiblePurePureness just that nice]].

* '''Parodied''': Velvet is a PuritySue in public, and a cackling CardCarryingVillain in private. Even her [[EvilCostumeSwitch clothes]] [[GoodCostumeSwitch change]], without explanation.

* '''Invoked''': Velvet knows that her personality won't get her any allies, so she starts trying her hardest to seem sweet, though she never denies her inner personality.

** Angelo calls Velvet out for only pretending to be nice, and convinces her to drop the "sweet" act entirely.

** Once Velvet drops the facade in front of somebody, word spreads and her mask is permanently fractured, until her sweet persona has completely crumbled in the face of utter disbelief.
** The heroes are taken in by her, and disdain the [[GoodIsNotNice rough diamond]] NatureHero, resulting in disaster. And they're still not seeing through Velvet, because she is still charming, so they blame the NatureHero, who is deeming them idiots.

** Aware that her reputation could be ruined by word getting out, Velvet takes steps to ensure ''nobody'' who sees her darker side will ever be able to warn anyone.
** The NatureHero sets out and forms a new team, seeking out less powerful characters with better judgment, who can solve the problem. Afterwards, said [[IdiotHero "heroes"]] who trusted Velvet are [[NeverLiveItDown now judged]] [[WhatAnIdiot as the idiots]] the NatureHero said they were, to said hero's amusement.
