* A major character from a Japanese fantasy game is a female AntiHero with white hair and is voiced by Creator/TaraPlatt in English. She appears harsh and uncaring to many, and she is heavily associated with red on her clothes. One of her most striking physical traits originates from an extremely traumatic moment of her life which binds her to the true villain of the story and [[YourDaysAreNumbered drastically shortens her lifespan]]. She opposes a force lead by a powerful woman in white that is seen by the populace as benevolent and divine, but holds many dark secrets. While her goals will ultimately benefit the people and world, she is fully willing to commit many morally gray and even represensible acts to achieve them, including killing her opposition. The game has MultipleEndings, of which she will either win or lose in her quest. One of the endings involves her [[OneWingedAngel transforming into a powerful monster]]. Is her name '''[[VideoGame/Drakengard3 Zero]]''' or '''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Edelgard von Hresvelg]]'''?
* She is a major female character with a six letter name starting with M and ending with A. She is the cool-headed and mysterious leader of an organization who holds an interest towards the protagonist. While she initially comes of as helpful and benevolent, she gives off an eerie, mysterious aura and seems to know far more about the plot that anyone else. It's later revealed that she is the BigBad of the work who holds mighty, unfamothable powers. She is not obsessed with the protagonist, but rather another character residing within them [[{{Yandere}} and wishes to have them all to herself by all means necessary]]. To achieve this, she destroys the lives of the protagonists loved ones, eventually killing them, as well as making their life much more horrific and miserable. She is killed through a bizarre, unconventional tactic that she didn't see coming. It's heavily implied that being the leader of the organization corrupted her into the monster she is in the story and that her true desire is to have an equal and genuine relationship. Is her name '''[[VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub Monika]]''' or '''[[Manga/ChainsawMan Makima]]'''?

* As they are dragged into a conflict involving both humanity and a race of monsters, they undergo serious changes in personality. Despite experiencing pain and tragedies, they still try to help other people, even as the world around them crumbles and races towards apocalypse in a very [[CosmicHorrorStory lovecraftian style]]. However it is [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters humans' own cruelty]] and [[FantasticRacism bigotry]] that hurts them the most, taking from them [[spoiler: their family]]. In the end they [[spoiler: run to their LoveInterest, only to find them murdered by humans for being associated with monsters. It's final straw that pushes them abandon humanity, leading to its extinction]].\\

* This VillainProtagonist is mostly TheGhost in the setting, being feared for their power. They actually started as force of good in the past, being an apprentice to a master, but because of their obsession with order, they become corrupted by an elder being who is a SatanicArchetype in the setting and becomes his second in command. He starts to wear black and becomes a BlackKnight whose underlings fear and betray him, and when he reveal their human form to the ActionHeroine, he is nothing else but a rough around the edges PrettyBoy. He connects for the first time on an emotional level with the protagonist, and she shows her vulnerable side only to him. They develop a FoeRomanceSubtext which culminate with making the protagonist cry after striping her down of all of her vulnerabilities, telling her he is the only one who sees her worth and asking her to rule with him and bring order to their world, only to get refused by said girl, making him fall even more in villainy. Are we talking about '''[[Franchise/StarWars Kylo Ren]]''' or '''[[Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower Sauron]]'''?

* An EvilSorceror who plots against a royal family. Debuting in an AnimatedMusical, his physical characteristics include a [[BeardOfEvil black beard]], a [[BadassLongrobe robe]], and a [[LeanAndMean thin frame]]. He has a NonHumanSidekick that can talk and fly, but later abandons him. This villain was originally a human, but in order to gain more power, he became a mythical, immortal being, complete with a [[SoulJar mystical artifact]] that, when destroyed in a magic-filled battle, ultimately destroys the sorceror. Now, is this animated villain a '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Disney]] [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar character]]''' or a '''[[WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}} Don Bluth character]]'''?

* A father who isn't around for his son very often in a future title and suffers from a traumatic past, due to various events from said past, one of those events involves the death of a loved one.

His bond with his son doesn't fully develop till the end, when he can finally forgive himself and move on. His orignal weapons of choice are replaced as the latter reminded them of a past they are ashamed of. Lastly, he's considered an icon for Creator/{{Sony}}, at least in the videogame department. \\

'''[[WesternAnimation/{{Onward}} Barley Lightfoot]]''' or '''[[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Peter Quill]]'''?

* He's a good-hearted but awkward and dorky young man with asthma, raised by a single mom, who worked as a nurse. He gains superpowers that cure his ailments and make him more physically impressive, but also vastly complicate his life. He remains an awkward dork even with superpowers, which is part of his charm. Despite his social awkwardness, he becomes the leader and moral compass of a group of superpowered people. While he's a very kind person with a strong moral compass (to the point of IncorruptiblePurePureness), he's not gratuitously violent, and he's devoted to his friends, he is not a pushover and he can kick ass if he thinks he has to. He's in love with a dark-haired ActionGirl and associated with the colors red and blue - appropriate, since he can be considered his fictional universe's equivalent to {{Superman}}.\\

* A [[BrainyBrunette brunet]], severely {{Nerd}}y young man with NerdGlasses was orphaned in early childhood, is an expert in archaeology, [[CunningLinguist speaks a few dead languages fluently]], is approached by a strange woman for participation in a secret mission, becomes TheSmartGuy in an expedition team under military management, gets bullied by said team, and winds up staying behind during said mission because he's fallen in love with TheChiefsDaughter of a foreign culture.

* This character introduces himself to newcomers as a calming, pleasant-looking presence, colored almost entirely white and with an uncanny ability to make strangers feel at ease. He has invited those he approaches to be part of his pet project, which promises a better life for those in it. Those who take part in the project are occasionally skeptical but generally flattered to be included. However, some participants realize early on that something is a bit "off" and intend to get to the bottom of the scheme, and become impatient with the character when he intervenes and tries to reassure the participants that all is well. Relationships are strained, disasters happen more frequently, and a greater sense of despair pervades the group. When one or more participants realize the character has been lying all along and they are unwittingly being subject to ColdBloodedTorture, he drops all pretenses of benevolence and reveals that his motivations for the project were partially a way of trying to do his job more efficiently (with no regard to the participants' well-being) and partially a mere case of ItAmusedMe, due to his real identity as a MagnificentBastard. Now, are we talking about '''[[Series/TheGoodPlace Michael]]'''[[note]]before his HeelFaceTurn in season 2[[/note]] or '''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]]'''?
