* Somewhat of a subversion with Annie from ''TheInvisible''. She starts out brutal, violent, and dressed in guys' clothes, no to mention the leader of the school bullies. As she realizes the consequences of her violent life, her bad choices, and the fact that Nick was more like her than she gave him credit for, she feminizes -- beginning to wear her hair down, and her clothing less gender neutral.

Her hair was even styled very intricately. Then she joined [[GoingNative the Others]]. Flashforward to her introduction in the series where she [[LettingHerHairDown let her hair down]] and was the BadAss [[TheStoic Stoic]] who didn't take crap from anyone.

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Pictured above: Katara begins the series as the TeamMom, dressed practically (she ''is'' from the South Pole), but as the series progresses and the seasons/latitude/climates change, she literally lets down her hair, and we get occasional shots of her in underwear or [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring outfits]]. It should be noted her regular Water Tribe outfits (the clothes she wears most often) are still very practical.

* Anya from ''GearsOfWar'' will fit this trope in the third game, if the previews are any indication. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because humans are going extinct, and WordofGod states that every available body is needed for battle.

Then the actual villain shows up behind him, turns him around, and as Wesley's narrative states: "This is not me."

Belongs better on Be A Whore To Get Your Man. Grease is not an action movie, and Sandy's makeover is abrupt and doesn't suddenly make her badass.
Deleted line(s) 69 (click to see context) :
* Sandy in "Grease". Starts out as an innocent, goody-two-shoes, hopeless romantic; turns into a total badass hottie.
