Added DiffLines:
* Mr. Miyagi in ''Film/TheKarateKid'' seems to be nothing more than an eccentric but NiceGuy neighbor. When Daniel asks him to teach him Karate, Mr. Miyagi seems to instead trick Daniel into doing household chores, cleaning the car, painting the house, etc. Daniel doubts Miyagi, but in a roundabout way he had been teaching Daniel the necessary muscle-memory for basic Karate moves. The trope comes in full force when his backstory is revealed: he fought in WWII, and while away his family died in an internment camp. Rather than rage or despair, he eventually comes out of it wiser and without carrying grudges or hate, allowing him to ignore attacks on his ego and pride, attacks that the violent, arrogant leader of rival Karate studio Cobra Kai is most certainly not immune to.

* Kreia from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' could practically be this trope's patron saint. She's both [[spoiler:a fallen jedi ''and'' a fallen sith]] and now occupies a strange middle road in the Force, dispensing her bitterly-earned wisdom to the main character.

* ''Series/{{Lost}}'': John Locke comes close to this trope. His life pre-island was phenomenally depressing, but on the island, he arguably has the most [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome key moments]] of the main cast (he ranks at least third to Sayid and Sawyer), and even has a few bizarre tests to put other characters (and sometimes even himself) through. He's also got a strong cryptic streak.

** Rose Nadler is incredibly calm after the initial crash, so much so that Jack worries she's in shock and isn't processing what happened. She insists that her husband, who was in a different part of the plane, has survived even when the rest of the group assume he's dead. Her faith turns out to be justified when Bernard turns up alive leading to a BigDamnReunion when he makes it to the main camp.
