'''Commodore Norrington''' from "Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean" or '"Sir Pentious"' from ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel''?

* A morally-gray British man from a historical time period, dressed in an 18th-century military uniform, gives his unrequited {{Action Girl}} love interest an unexpected farewell kiss before performing a {{Heroic Sacrifice}} to buy time for his loved ones to escape the enemy. Through these actions he [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeems themselves]] for his past sins. The villain ultimately responsible for this man's death is a mythological/folkloric figure, whose backstory involves being deserted by his own love interest, another folkloric figure who he tried to make 'submit' to him against her wishes. At least part of this scene takes place on board an old-fashioned military vessel. From a series that mixes comedy, fantasy/supernatural, and a bit of drama. Is this the death of...

* This character began as the protagonist of the first entry in one of Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s most popular video game series. A key part of their character is that they are [[PerpetualFrowner almost perpetually]] [[TheStoic stone-faced]] and rarely, if ever, speak - a trait that in the first game was shown as them being your typical [[HeroicMime silent protagonist]], but in later entries would be shown as them just [[TheQuietOne not being much of a talker]]. They started out as just an ordinary kid looking for a little adventure, which they would soon get by fighting their way through the world and coming face to face with the evil organization that threatens its safety. After fighting their way to the top and defeating [[TheBigBad the head of said evil organization]], they would be catapulted to the status of [[LegendaryInTheSequel living legend]] and given the highest rank a fighter of their kind could possibly receive. They would spend much of their time since then as a [[WalkTheEarth lone wanderer]], before eventually returning to test the skills of the new generation. Additionally, in the second entry of the series, they are fightable as an [[OptionalBoss optional post-game boss]], with the [[Superboss greatest extent of their power and skill on full display for the player]]. Is their name '''[[Videogame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red]]''' or '''[[Videogame/{{Splatoon}} Agent 3]]'''?

Is this person [[Manga/Chainsaw man Denji]], or [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/EpithetErasedPrisonOfPlastic Lorelei Blyndeff]]?

* The protagonist in the first game of their series, they were given their abilities at a young age by a scientist with a particular interest in the ecosystem. In addition to fulfilling said scientist's goal, they also fight off a large villainous group (almost) by themselves. Has a tendency to make allies out of the enemies they fight. [[spoiler:They reappear later in the series as a BonusBoss (or arguably TrueFinalBoss since the credits roll again after beating them), fought in a snowstorm. The second game's protagonist, who fights them, met the same scientist shortly after gaining similar abilities.]] '''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red]]''' or '''[[VideoGame/{{SUGURI}} Suguri]]'''?

* This legendary hero enjoys a OfTea nice cup of tea in their spare time. They have had experience dealing with some of the greatest and most despicable monsters mankind has ever faced, and always keep a [[CoolGuns gun on hand]] for when the situation calls for it. Their adventure was set in motion by an otherworldly creature whose name sounds like "Q", who loves toying with humanity as a means to a personal end. As a [[TheLeader veteran in their field]], they are highly respected and revered by their peers (whom they refer to almost exclusively by their last names while also using honorifics), and in turn also hold said peers in high regard, giving them life advice on occasion and preparing them to perhaps go down a path in life similar to their own. After an event that changed their life forever - one in which people died that they were unable to save - they are forced to live with the trauma of that experience for the rest of their life, all while putting on a facade and keeping that trauma close to the vest around those who seem them as their superior. However, they are ultimately able to open up to someone particularly close to them about their experience - breaking down crying in the process. That person learns that their friend is NotSoAboveItAll, and helps them to deal with their trauma. In one instance, they are transformed into a member of their worst enemy and have a defining characteristic of theirs warped into an evil version of itself and turned against others. In a separate instance, they end up having their friends [[MercyKill mercy killed]] in order to spare them a similar fate. Am I referring to '''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]]''' or '''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Captain Picard]]'''?

** Second, dressed in [[DarkIsNotEvil black]] (but with [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple as a secondary color]]), is someone who carries two types of weapons into battle - one of which being a [[CoolGun gun]]. Aside from these, they have developed a fairly unusual fighting style, one reflective of their overall personality and how well they get along with other people. Of their teammates, their closest friend is perhaps the team's leader. One important story beat involves them attempting to gain the affection of someone they are pursuing romantically, with them succeeding even in the midst of a monster attack. At one point during the series, they ended up changing their hairstyle.

* These three sisters are major players in a popular cartoon, where they ended up by pure chance in the care of a famous scientist while he was in the middle of conducting one of his experiments. Despite this, they very rarely [[CallingParentsByTheirName refer to him as their father]]. They are easily identified by the colors of their clothes - [[ChromaticArrangement pink, blue, and green]]. The oldest of the three, and therefore TheLeader, is [[BigSisterInstinct very protective of her younger sisters]]. She keeps her hair in a [[TomboyishPonytail ponytail]], tends to go [[SugarAndIcePersonality back and forth]] between the nicest person you'll ever meet and someone you wouldn't want to mess with, and stands out as being the [[TheSpock smartest and]] [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling most rational]] of the three (though she is [[NotSoAboveItAll by no means above joining her sisters in their shenanigans]]). The younger sisters are absolute characters in their own right. One of them is an out-and-out {{Tomboy}}: [[TheBigGuy Rough]], [[HotBlooded rowdy]], [[TheMcCoy emotional]], very much into things that aren't considered "girly", often fed up with her sisters' antics, and never one to [[BloodKnight back down from a fight]] or from [[LittleMissSnarker speaking her mind]]. However, a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold kind-hearted child]] more than once manages to shine through the hardened exterior she has created for herself. The other is defined by her [[TheCutie cutesy and]] [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocent]] [[CheerfulChild personality]] ([[AnnoyingYoungerSibling very often]] [[CloudCuckooLander excessively]] [[TheDitz so]]) - being [[TheKirk neither as responsible as one nor as reckless as the other]] - which seems to have made her a fan favorite. She [[FriendToAllLivingThings loves animals]] - especially [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals stuffed animals]], one of which she is often seen carrying around - and [[CutenessProximity all things cute]], and is overflowing with [[GenkiGirl energy]] and [[ThePollyanna optimism]]. That optimism has, however, been dampened on more than one occasion - sometimes with her even [[CuteButCacophonic screaming loud enough]] [[GlassShatteringSound to shatter glass]] after having been pushed over the edge. The way the three [[SiblingYinYang bounce]] [[FreudianTrio off of]] [[TheHecateSisters each other]] is what gets them through their seemingly never-ending adventures involving getting into scrapes with supervillains, all the while helping their father learn how to be a good parent. Are they '''[[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup]]''' or '''[[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Margo, Edith, and Agnes]]'''?

* In her [[DarkAndTroubledPast depressing]] [[HowWeGotHere backstory]], a young [[PsychicPowers esper]] girl finds it extremely difficult to blend in with society because her powers led her schoolmates to label her as [[CreepyChild creepy]] or even worse: [[YouMonster a monster]]. The latter insult then becomes a [[TraumaButton trigger]] for the rest of her life. During all of this, she develops a front to cope against all of this cruelty and [[LeaveMeAlone to shun others away for their own good and hers]]. Later, she befriends a [[MoralityPet stray pet which gives her peace]] in her CrapsaccharineWorld, but it's quickly KilledOffForReal which sends the [[BreakTheCutie broken cutie]] beyond the DespairEventHorizon. This BrokenBird eventually finds a man [[UnderstandingBoyfriend who is willing to accept her for who she is]], but is still a [[HurtingHero Hurting Heroine]] throughout most of her story. However, [[AvertedTrope there are]] [[LastOfTheirKind others of her kind]] (albeit very rare), and there are people who are interested in her power as well.\\

* An anti-hero and a white-haired bishonen, the hero RatedMForManly and the bishonen a SmugSnake and huge {{Narcissist}} who is ultimately rather cool because, not in spite, of his evil. The hero embarks on a quest for vengeance during which he comes to grow nicer as the bishonen grows worse, culminating in a scene of abandonment leading to the bishonen crossing the MoralEventHorizon and becoming the series' most nightmarish monster, whereas the hero seeks redemption after. Are we talking [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Griffith and Guts here,]] or [[VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor Talion]] [[VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar and Celebrimbor?]]

* A former monstrous [[EnfantTerrible little girl]] who [[AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes turned to the light after being inflicted with amnesia]]. Becoming an OfficialCouple with the local IdiotHero, his love allows them to triumph over their guilt [[AmnesiacDissonance once they discover the truth of who they used to be]]. '''[[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Manah]]''' or '''[[Fanfic/DanganronpaParadiseLost Shion Nanashi]]'''?

* This videogame character appears to be a young-to-middle aged [[DoesNotLikeShoes barefoot]] man, but is far older then he looks. He is very well known for his [[HairTriggerTemper incredibly volatile temper]] and his way of solving his problems is mostly through [[RapidFireFisticuffs fierce pummeling with his fists]]. Because of this, he is widely considered the bad guy by most of the other characters, but he's actually a good guy with a kind heart. During the story, he befriends a dark-haired girl who is far younger then he is, but he develops a soft spot for her. Also during the story, he is tricked by another character who appears to have his best interests for him, [[spoiler: but he's actually a colossal [[BitchInSheepsClothing dickweed]] [[RealityWarper with reality warping powers]] and is the true antagonist. He also spends at least a part of the story in an insectoid form, but this is considered a massive spoiler.]] Needless to say, it ends incredibly badly for the antagonist.\\

* This character, easily identified by their [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blond hair]] and [[FlowerMotifs affinity for flowers]], is part of a group of friends in a story that starts off fairly upbeat. They are known for their polite disposition and [[ThePollyanna ability to always look on the bright side of things]], which causes all of their friends to look up to them as a kind of role model. However, early on in the story, this character falls prey to a mysterious evil force, and it is at precisely that moment the story [[SurpriseCreepy takes a turn for the dark and twisted]]. As part of this tonal shift, it is revealed that their smiley and positive nature is [[StepfordSmiler little more]] [[MaskOfSanity than a façade]] to cover up the pain they feel from losing someone they love. In turn, what happens to this character ends up negatively affecting all of their friends, most of all the title character. Am I referring to '''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]]''' or '''[[Videogame/{{Omori}} Basil]]'''?

** Fifth is someone who was the hero of a previous work in the same continuity, but is a supporting character here. They have many light-based attacks, and wield a [[WhipItGood rope of some kind]] as their weapon. They are linked to England in way or another, and while they can be [[LargeHam a bit silly at times]], they have the most experience out of the whole cast and put it to good use.

* A dark-haired and isolated TroubledTeen dealing with trauma related to people they looked up to, both of them revealed [[spoiler:to have created a grim fantasy world to avoid having to directly cope with said trauma via rampant fantasizing. Ultimately, they are forced to confront [[AntiEscapismAesop their maladaptive escapism]], and either triumph over it to face reality, with all its problems, head-on, or succumb to said escapism and meet a tragic end [[DrivenToSuicide by their own hand]]]].
