There are few things as [[CuriosityKilledTheCast deadly]] and [[CuriosityIsACrapshoot unpredictable]] as curiosity. However, what's most dangerous about curiosity is its ability to impart a driving desire to know into a character. So when an evil character who [[EvilCannotComprehendGood cannot comprehend good]] is on the receiving end of [[GoodSamaritan kindness]], [[LoveRedeems love]], or [[{{Forgiveness}} mercy]], she will get an insistent and ''annoying'' urge to know just why the hero and his cadre have done such an inexplicable thing. There's no way this WorthyOpponent would do something as stupid as save or help an enemy, she'll reason. She'll assume he's being TheChessMaster and is trying to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate]] her, perhaps [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter foolishly]] expecting her to feel she "[[NobleDemon owes him one]]."

* A common element of ''Creator/BookwormGal'''s stories. ''Fanfic/{{Aloha}}'', ''Fanfic/NeverHadAFriendLikeMe'', and ''Fanfic/SayItThrice'' (or, more specifically, ''Say it Again'') all have the key plot point that a dangerous otherworldly being is bewildered by the nature of this unusual little girl who's unfazed by the abnormal, which provokes curiosity that slowly turns to care.
* ''Fanfic/AngelOfTheBat'': Cassandra Cain is said to have had some knowledge of Jesus and Christianity since she was a child living on the streets, but only becomes really interested after she rescues a priest being mugged and takes note of the way he almost immediately forgives his attackers. His philosophy sets her on the path that ultimate leads to her spirituality and Catholicism.
* ''Blog/BetterBonesAU'':
** A case where it actually leads a character to join the villains: Heathertail joins the Kin because she is curious about her long-lost brother Darktail and the other side to her father (who she has a complicated relationship with) and his legacy that he represents.
** Similarly, part of Harespring's motivation to join the villainous Dark Forest is curiosity about his father Mudclaw, who went there after he died, the other reason is anger at the opposing afterlife of [=StarClan=] for pressing his brother Kestrelflight into being a cleric.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' takes this for a much quicker spin than most. During Starfire's introduction, Robin is nice to her, and she is (understandably?) confused. He explains, and she claims [[LanguageEqualsThought the closest word her people have is "weak"]]. Cue the middle of the episode, and she's seen the light.

Friend to All Living Things means "animals are attracted to them", not "nature lover".
