* Despite being a doctor herself, [[Franchise/BlazBlue Litchi Faye-Ling]] more or less fits in a dramatic manner: As a doctor, she's good at healing others... except her romantic interest Lotte Carmine, who became corrupted into Arakune. Attempts to help him involve things that makes other people question her intelligence, reasoning, sanity or being just blinded with love, including partially corrupting herself with the same thing that corrupted Lotte, joining a world-destroying evil group that only looked like they have a clue, but actually ran with very shady and ObviouslyEvil people, and by the time she ''did'' [[FindTheCure obtain a healing method]] (and also at least cutting ties with the group), all she got was that Lotte, in his most lucid manner, saying that he didn't want any help at all, it was one big misunderstanding from the start, [[AllForNothing rendering all her 'good intentions' for nothing.]] (except to use the cure on herself, presumably)
