Sounds like subverted (or some other method of playing with; depends on the work) The Pollyanna (the character who appears to be The Pollyanna isn't actually genuinely one), while the character is actually a Stepford Smiler.

Thanks!
In Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Kaori Miyazono is depicted as a cheerful girl although it is revealed she's gravely ill. In Kimi No Suizou Wo Tabetai (this one is literature), Sakura Yamauchi is described having carefree, cheerful attitude although she's dying from cancer. Both were actually desperate that they couldn't be happy before the gone. It's really confusing. I need your help, guys.
