She convinces him to stop using his rage to cope with his heartbreak, leading to him sparing his enemies instead of needlessly killing them]].

* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' has an unusual two-villain pairing, with [[TheCasanova Casanova]] and RecurringBoss Klaus Waltz being the only one to show real sympathy to Crymaria, a DefrostingIceQueen who was RaisedInALab and abused most of her life, believing that TheEmpire using her as a LivingWeapon was no way to treat a beautiful woman.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': The [[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 Norse]] [[VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok games]] have this as a major theme. The biggest reason Kratos has turned from a vengeful berserker with a HairTriggerTemper to a grumpy-but-caring man is because he met Faye and found something to honestly love in her, and his paternal love for Atreus allows him to shake off most of his NominalHero traits.[[spoiler: In ''Ragnarok'', Thor is ultimately inspired to turn against Odin when Kratos appeals to him to be a better father to his daughter Thrud.]]
