** Weiss started off in Volume 1 as a [[AlphaBitch self-entitled and arrogant bitch]] that felt like she [[ItsAllAboutMe deserved constant praise and recognition]] for her talents and status. Episode 15 has her revealed to be a [[FantasticRacism racist towards Faunus]] and stereotyped them as degenerates and terrorists, and though partially justified due to her family's war against the White Fang she still comes off as incredibly toxic even when she helps look for Blake. Thankfully, the rest of the series ultimately has Weiss become arguably the [[TookALevelInKindness most compassionate and level-headed]] of the main characters, calling out a rich couple for mocking the tragedy that fell Vale and standing up to her greedy abusive father.

In Volume 8, even though her mother told her about how Whitley feels, Weiss brushes him off, doesn't acknowledge him as a victim as she claimed she was and doesn't bother to apologize or try to make amends with him.



** Yang has shades of this starting from the end of Volume 3. After losing her arm and Blake abandoning her, Yang goes into a depression in which she acts quite cold and distant to Ruby and more or less starts to view Blake as a traitor. After Ruby and Weiss unintentionally anger her in Volume 5, Yang accuses Weiss of not knowing what it's like to suffer from domestic abuse or neglect despite being told many times beforehand how bad of a childhood Weiss actually had. Yang does get better afterwards but she becomes the most vindictive and cynical member of the team.

Yang does get better afterwards but she becomes the vindictive and cynical member of the team. It's not helped by the fact that Yang is becoming very self-righteous and hypocritical, the very things she called out Raven for being. She has no problem calling out others for their bad decisions, but when confronted with her own, she either justifies them or blames others.
** Jaune is mostly the NiceGuy of the series but is mostly at the start seen as a KindheartedSimpleton and TheDitz by most people. Jaune eventually after failing a few times to be a competent fighter develops an inferiority complex and becomes frustrated at how he has to be constantly saved and wants to be the hero, revealing he snuck into Beacon and becomes a bit self-centered in which he angrily sends Pyrrha away for trying to help him. This however leads to Cardin overhearing their conversation and using Jaune's secret as leverage to force him to do anything he wants. Jaune however finally grows a pair, refusing to do Cardin's dirty work and even saves him from an Ursa with assistance from Pyrrha. After the fall of Beacon and Pyrrha's death, Jaune grows cynical and even accuses Qrow and Ozpin of forcing Pyrrha to become the Fall Maiden (despite Pyrrha agreeing to do so freely). He becomes his worst when after Ruby reveals Ozpin's secrets to which Jaune nearly throttles Oscar, a kid who was dragged into this whole mess unwillingly, though Jaune does stop. Jaune's nasty streak leaves whatever innocence that he once had now gone.

** All of the protagonists suffer from this in Volume 7. Despite learning of Ozpin's secrets and deciding to try and better than him, they ultimately become self-righteous hypocrites who refuse to trust Ironwood and tell him the truth despite him being nothing but honest and caring towards them. It's therefore hard to sympathize with one of them when they berate Ironwood for his so-called callous and dubious actions when they're literally lying to his face.

* [[WildMassGuessing Whether or not the host]] of [[WebVideo/TheMusicVideoShow The Music Video Show]] is a different person each season, the trope does apply. In the first two season, he is a slight {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who befriends a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie plushie]], [ItMakesSenseInContext smokes a lightbulb to get high]] but most of the time is fairly normal.

* The Danish Website/YouTube character ''Spørg Casper'' ("Ask Casper"), played by comedian Casper Harding. One can compare the two videos in which he visits his stepbrother Brian. In the first video, Spørg Casper comes off as a [[KindHeartedSimpleton relatively well-meaning simpleton]] (except for a few comments about Brian's weight, but these are more InnocentlyInsensitive than anything) who adores and admires his stepbrother and is simply [[NoSocialSkills oblivious]] to the fact that Brian is annoyed with him. In the second video, Casper's lack of social skills is even more pronounced, but he also becomes actively mean-spirited; he constantly makes fun of Brian's weight, destroys Brian's computer and ends the video by [[SpeakIllOfTheDead speaking ill of Brian's deceased daughter]].

** Ozpin appears to become more of a {{Jerkass}} when his true feelings about the world come out. We are lead to believe for most of the series as Ozpin is a paragon of hope, leadership and kindness who believes in teamwork and companionship though has a few skeletons in his closet. However it's revealed that deep down Ozpin is a very cynical and paranoid person, incapable of completely trusting anyone and so drown in guilt, self-pity and fear that he is willing to lie and manipulate others around him despite not actually having a plan to stop Salem or ever thinking that he could stop her. While this is more a minor BitchInSheepsClothing reveal, Ozpin does in these moments before they awaken Jinn act far more cold and bitter towards the girls than most of the series, and even tries to attack Ruby when she asks Jinn to revealed his secrets.

* In a way, ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''. Back when she started, she was really just Lindsay with pigtails and a bowtie. She had a few moments of NotSoAboveItAll but was still pretty quiet, nice and sane. Now, however, she fakes being nice and is willing to kill to get [[WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} power]], has a SexSlave robot who she abuses, and treats her best friend like shit. [[TropesAreNotBad She's much more fun this way, though.]]

Episode 15 has her revealed to be a [[FantasticRacism racist towards Faunus]] and stereotyped them as degenerates and terrorists, and though partially justified due to her family's war against the White Fang she still comes off as incredibly toxic even when she helps look for Blake.

** Blake started off as distant and shallow but ultimately a good caring person who wants to create change. However Blake has shown to slip into this territory twice. The first time is in Volume 2 when Blake becomes so obsessed with stopping Roman Torchwick that she neglects her studies, sleeping and her friends, even [[KickTheDog coldly turning down Sun's offer]] to go to the Beacon Dance with him. The second and most prominent time is in Volume 4 where when she returns to her home in Menagerie with Sun after the fall of Beacon. She then spends the entire volume acting very callous and rude towards Sun despite his efforts in trying to help her, even becomes physically abusive towards him and rather than act concerned for Sun when he's injured, Blake [[NeverMyFault angrily berates him for following her in the first place]]. It takes Sun finally standing up for himself and calling her out for Blake to finally realize how much of a bitch she had been to him.
** Yang has shades of this starting from the end of Volume 3. After losing her arm and Blake abandoning her, Yang goes into a depression in which she acts quite cold and distant to Ruby and more or less starts to view Blake as a traitor. After Ruby and Weiss unintentionally anger her in Volume 5, Yang accuses Weiss of not knowing what it's like to suffer from domestic abuse or neglect despite being told many times beforehand how bad of a childhood Weiss actually had. Yang does get better afterwards but she becomes the vindictive and cynical member of the team.

* [[Main/WildMansGuessing Whether or not the host]] of [[WebVideo/TheMusicVideoShow The Music Video Show]] is a different person each season, the trope does apply. In the first two season, he is a slight [[Main/Cloudcuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who befriends a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie plushie]], [[Main/ItMakesSenseInContext smokes a lightbulb to get high]] but most of the time is fairly normal. Cut to [[Main/BlackComedy season four]] where he makes jokes about [[Main/DomesticAbuse Domestic Abuse]], gets REALLY into cannibalism [[Main/AxCrazy pulls out knives for said cannibalism cannibalism]] and has made jokes about child murder, suicide and abuse.

* The Danish Youtube character ''Spørg Casper'' ("Ask Casper"), played by comedian Casper Harding. One can compare the two videos in which he visits his stepbrother Brian. In the first video, Spørg Casper is quite [[NoSocialSkills socially retarded]], but otherwise comes off as a relatively well-meaning [[TheDitz simpleton]] (except for a few YouAreFat comments) who adores and admires his stepbrother and isn't able to tell that he is annoying Brian. In the second video, Casper is not only even more socially retarded, but also actively mean-spirited; he constantly makes fun of Brian's weight, destroys Brian's computer and ends the video by [[SpeakIllOfTheDead speaking ill of Brian's deceased daughter]].

* After years of being a bouncy WideEyedIdealist, Chester from WebVideo/BumReviews seemed to give up and hit the cynicism pretty hard after WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic died.

* While WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic is ''generally'' kind of a jerk, he really fell into this during ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'', developing into TheCaligula.

* In a way, ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''. Back when she started, she was really just Lindsay with pigtails and a bowtie. She had a few moments of NotSoAboveItAll but was still pretty quiet, nice and sane. Now, however, she fakes being nice and is willing to kill to get [[WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} power]], has a SexSlave robot who she abuses, and treats her best friend like shit. [[TropesAreNotBad She's much more fun this way, though.]]
* Foamy The Squirrel of ''WebAnimation/NeuroticallyYours'' has become much more of a completely bitter ass over the course of the series. This contrasts with his [[CharacterizationMarchesOn earlier portrayal as a hyper-active squirrel who makes sarcastic quips about things]].
