** The concept of redemption plays a significant role in the ''Wrath of the Righteous'' adventure path. One of the primary NPC characters, Aureshalae, is a succubus seeking to leave evil and the Abyss behind -- she's managed to shift her alignment from ChaoticEvil to ChaoticNeutral by the time the adventure starts, and over the course of the story attempts to cement her Turn and become ChaoticGood. The players are also given the option of turning a traitor and a fallen crusader back to the light, and once they delve into the Abyss itself they can attempt to redeem Alderpash, one of the former [[SorcerousOverlord Runelords of Thassilon]] and a very, very evil man. By the time the players get to him he's been trapped in Baphomet's Inelecutable Prison for millennia, and will do ''anything'' to get out -- and if this entails him sticking to the straight and narrow in return for the players breaking him out of planar jail, he will give this an honest try.
** Nocticula, the demon lord of seduction and assassins, is rumored by some of her more heretical followers to be seeking to cleanse herself of the Abyss' taint as part of her more widely recognized ploy for full divinity. As it turns out, [[spoiler:this is entirely correct. If Nocticula ascends in ''Wrath of the Righteous'' she explicitly does so as a ChaoticNeutral goddess of outcasts and artists, something that ''Planar Adventures'' and later 2nd Edition establish as canon.]]
** Balisse angels are formed from the souls of evildoers who forsook their former ways and embraced benevolence, and seek to help others undergo the same change of heart that they did.
** A subclass in First Edition -- "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Redeemer]]" -- gives half-orc paladins the ability to invoke these in defeated enemies. Second Edition makes it the NeutralGood Champion name.

* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'':
** While it's fairly rare overall, it's possible for demons to seek redemption and become angels. It's a very difficult process -- a demon needs to first get over itself enough to recognize that its ego isn't the most important thing in the world, develop a genuine to desire to help others, and keep all of this secret from Hell's inquisition, then undergo enough personal growth to become a viable candidate for formal redemption, and then find an Archangel who will complete the transformation, which may very well kill the prospective angel. Successful redemptions, however, are greatly valued by Heaven.
** By definition, Bright Lilim are all the result of such a turn. The Demon Princess Lilith is the only being who can create Lilim, and as such all Lilim begin life as demons on the side of Hell. Each and every Bright Lilim thus had to, at some point, make a conscious decision to abandon Hell and the ruination of humanity in order to seek Heaven.

* In ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'', Blocky starts off as a sadistic "prankster" who kills the other contestants for fun. However, in Season 4 Episode 21, Blocky realizes that Woody, his number one victim, has grown a lot and is able to stand up for himself now, convincing Blocky to not be a sadistic "prankster". He even goes as far as to start doing more light-hearted pranks with Woody.

This is the opposite of a FaceHeelTurn and is generally found in stories with BlackAndWhiteMorality. It has two subtropes: HeelFaceBrainwashing, more or less the opposite of BrainwashedAndCrazy, and HighHeelFaceTurn (usually the redefining moment for a DarkChick). See also MookFaceTurn when the bad guy doing it is a {{Mook}}, and HeelRaceTurn when an entire faction does it. If a character keeps switching from one side to the other and back, they're in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. If they turns face, but still acts like a heel, they're ReformedButNotTamed.
