History JerkWithAHeartOfGold / WebOriginal

** Murder/Xipetotec in the prequel comic, ''Judgment''. She's notably sarcastic sliding into outright rude, takes a very ''direct'' approach to morality (when Amaroq forces Huey to poke the Blue Tezcatlipoca and get a nasty electric shock, she immediately forces Amaroq to do the same), and her name ''is literally Murder''. The reason she's not in the series proper is that [[HeroicSacrifice she gave her life to stop the Black Ick.]] She had previously attempted to sacrifice herself to stop a volcano.

* Steg, a popular WebAnimation/{{YoutubePoop}}er, says that although he seems to act quite angry on the Internet, he's pretty nice when you get to know him. And he has a sense of humour.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':

* The Courier in ''Machinima/CouriersMindRiseOfNewVegas'', is an AxCrazy, vengeful, foul mouthed, [[TheCynic cynical]], egotistical, JerkAss with a HairTriggerTemper. But, as much as it annoys him, when someone needs be the hero and step in to save the day, [[ChronicHeroSyndrome he'll almost always put whatever he was doing aside to do what he thinks is right]], will almost always listen to his MoralityPet EDE even if he thinks he's too sentimental, and god help you if you insult his friends.

** Qrow Branwen is abrasive, acerbic and an alcoholic. He'll say [[BrutalHonesty what he's thinking]], no matter how rude or inappropriate that makes him. He causes chaos when angry, publicly fighting with Winter because Ironwood turned the Council against Ozpin, and constantly fighting with Ironwood in private over the best way to fight Salem. However, he's loyal, fun-loving, and doesn't hesitate to save Ironwood's life or believe that he'd ever turn his army on Vale. However, he enjoys quality time with his nieces, disapproves of Raven abandoning Yang, and is shocked to learn of his sister's return to the murderous bandit tribe that raised them.

** Whitley's manipulative personality initially puts him at odds with Weiss because of Willow's [[ParentalNeglect alcoholism]] and Jacques' [[AbusiveParents abusive behaviour]]. Despite all of this, he deeply loves his siblings. [[spoiler:After Jacques' arrest, he surprises everyone by having Klein treat seriously injured Nora, and re-allocating the Schnee Dust Company's resources to evacuate the Mantle refugees; he even risks his own life to complete the company drone reprogramming when the Hound tries attacking him.]]

** Weiss Schnee is initially judgemental, arrogant and hyper-critical, but she values life and will protect those in danger even when angry with them, such as saving Ruby from a Death Stalker despite initially disliking her. After Blake flees the team when her past is revealed, Weiss uses the time to consider her own prejudice about the White Fang, only chastising Blake for not trusting her team with her problems. Her jerkassery decreases over time as her kindness, empathy and compassion increase.

** Even though Winter is a bit callous and aloof (even {{Dope Slap}}ping Weiss at one point), she deeply loves Weiss and acts as a mentor figure to her, even teaching her how to use her Semblance's summoning powers.

** Weiss has a razor sharp and unrelenting tongue, but at the end of the day is shown to care about her teammates, not just in battle where she often saves them from tight spots with her versatile glyphs and has more than once taken a hit for a teammate, but also outside of battle. Her initial bickering with Ruby has turned to them being VitriolicBestBuds and [[spoiler: Blake's being an ex-member of the White Fang?]] After some time to cool off and think about it she decided she just doesn't really care. Later on, she reveals a compassionate, supportive side to her teammates - in Volume 3 when [[spoiler:Yang is framed for assaulting Mercury]], Weiss is very vocal in defending her even against the very stern doubts of the general of the Atlesian military.
** When we finally meet [[CoolUncle Uncle Qrow]] in Volume 3, he definitely is a straight-cut example of this trope. He's a surly, acerbic alcoholic who trashes Atlas robots for laughs and displays BrutalHonesty to the point of outright rudeness. However, it's very clear from his interactions with his nieces that they're his entire world. He even sits down and plays video games with them, and gives them cute nicknames!
** We also meet Weiss' older sister Winter. Even though Winter is a bit callous and aloof (even {{Dope Slap}}ping Weiss at one point), she cares deeply for Weiss and acts as a mentor figure to her, even teaching her [[spoiler:how to use her summoning Semblance]].
** Weiss' little brother Whitley initially comes off as snob that disdains his sisters, but then later shows he does care them, [[spoiler: calls for medical assistance with an injured Nora and risks his life to order an evacuation of the city of Mantle.]]

** [[NiceGuy Jaune Arc]] of all people is turned into an egotistical CasanovaWannabe who talks down Pieria for "dressing like a hussie" and acts like an UngratefulBastard to her, despite being nice to him. ([[GoodIsNotSoft Not that she can't pay it back in full.]]) But at the end of the day, he still comes through for his team and ends up saving their lives, and is genuinely polite and respectful to the women he does take an interest in.
