- Facebook has 7teen
, a spinoff to 6teen, and it introduces Jonesy's dad, Michael, as one of the most friendly, compassionate, reasonable, level-headed and fatherly (whether you're his kid or not) parental in the series. Though Jude's dad, Justin, fits this trope as well, even in spite of being the Deadpan Snarker of the family.
- Cinderjuice and its sequels have Prince Vince, who long ago gave up any possible hope of becoming Lydia's Love Interest. Instead, he uses his Tumblr account to help the heroes. He reads the story chapters as they get posted online and uses what he learns to send food, supplies, and other forms of assistance. (It Makes Sense in Context - well, kind of.) Basically, he'll do anything to help his friends and he asks for absolutely nothing in return except their friendship.
- Shamrock in Ace Combat: The Equestrian War is a good-natured, friendly pegasus fighter who comes, along with Talisman, to aid ponies in war with the griffins. Though his true reason for doing so was to calm his conscience that bothered him since the death of his little sister, Morning Glow, during the Anean Continential War, it doesn't affect his attitude toward others. When he opens up before Fluttershy, he thanks her for trying to cheer him up and even calls her "an angel that became a pony".
- Sonic the Hedgehog in The Blue Blur of Termina, a huge contrast with the significantly more acerbic Tatl as shown by him calmly asking Alfred for the Bombers' password instead of shouting and bullying him into doing it.
- Shinji in Children of an Elder God is too nice and kind for his own good. He tries to be nice to and understanding with everyone, and he even tries to give Gendo the benefit of the doubt and think that maybe his father had a good reason for abandoning him.
- Code Prime: Despite being set in the universe of Code Geass, which is a Crapsack World, there are individuals who are kind and decent.
- Optimus Prime as always when it comes to Transformers. It just wouldn’t be Optimus without his kindness and compassion. C.C. even notes that Optimus’ compassion could very well rival that of Nunnally’s, who’s just as kind as in canon.
- Many of the Autobots along with Optimus are this. Among those that really stand out:
- Bumblebee, who is the first Autobot Lelouch meets and befriends.
- While he can be chatty and love to joke a lot, Cliffjumper is a compassionate bot always there for his friends.
- Despite his hot-bloodedness, Sideswipe is actually rather nice when not on the battlefield.
- Jazz is also up there as one of the friendliest Autobots around.
- Bulkhead, who also falls into Gentle Giant territory, given his stature as one of the biggest Autobots, as well as one of the nicest.
- Despite being a former Decepticon, Grindcore is up there as one of the nicest guys in the Autobost, and considers Suzaku, himself a former Decepticon, a friend.
- Euphemia is the kindest out of the entire Britannian Imperial Family like in canon.
- Despite serving the Empire, Cecile is also a kind woman herself, up there with Euphemia.
- Although he's a Knight of the Round and doesn't have many social skills due to his upbringing, along with lack of understanding of “commoner” behavior, Gino is quite open and friendly to everybody, including non-Britannians.
- Nonette Enneagram as well, though she falls more into Genki Girl due to always being cheerful and upbeat, much to exasperation of Cornelia.
- Leila Malcal, who gets along well with Nunnally when the two meet.
- Likewise, Anna Clement is shown to be very sweet and helpful, getting along well with Euphie.
- Just like in canon, Shirley Fenette is one of the series’ most kindhearted and thoughtful people.
- Keeper Mercury in Dungeon Keeper Ami, she's so nice that even The Light approves of her, and many heroes who hate Keepers make an exception for her.
- In Worm crossover Echoes of Yesterday, Taylor Hebert meets Kara, who's so kind-hearted and selfless that Taylor doesn't know what to make of her. After spending one year and half being bullied by assholes, Taylor is confused by someone who "has no a mean bone in her body" and saved her just because it was the right thing.Why were all of her actions so nice? I had no issue with people who were naturally nice, but Kara took it to an extreme, she didn't seem to have a mean bone in her body.
- Fortuna from Chrono Cross/Digimon crossover Enter Digital World is a nice old lady.
- Equestria Girls: A Fairly Odd Friendship: Cosmo, while dim, is a loving and cheerful man. While thinking Sunset is an evil villain, he still has second thoughts about her being turned into a worm, and even convinces his wife to change back Sunset after a week.
- In Touhou/Starcraft story Gensokyo's Heart, Alexei's pretty damn personable when you get to know him.
- Last Child of Krypton: Shinji and Kaworu both qualify, although Kaworu becomes rather... different when he transforms into Black Adam, and in the rewrite he is very creepy and not nice at all. Regardless, Shinji is the nicest, most compassionate, most considerate and less judgmental person Asuka and Misato have known... par for the course when you are Superman.
- The Many Dates of Danny Fenton: Unless it's a girl who is genuinely bad, Danny is always nice and considerate to his dates. Girls like Kim, Kara, Violet and Jen find this aspect of him attractive.
- "Martian Manhunter" sees Veronica Mars being sent into the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which she is a long-time fan of) as part of a bet with a higher-dimensional being, whose challenge includes Veronica re-investigating her own rape. While new suspects are presented such as Warren Mears, when Veronica's attempt to retrace her steps that night leads to the discovery that at one point she was alone with Oz, her immediate reaction is that not only can Veronica be sure that Oz would never have raped her, but he's such a good guy that he would have done his best to protect her from anyone who did attempt it; Veronica even muses that the only other person in Buffy who's less likely to rape someone than Oz is Tara.
- Not the intended use (Zantetsuken Reverse): While there aren't really any bad guys in the fic, Leon Belmont the 1000 year old ghost of a Franc Crusader is the nicest person in the cast. He is completely devoted to his late fiance and first love Sara, tried his best to respect the wishes of his two following wives, was very close to all his grandchildren and likewise continues to love all his descendants, tries to use his abilities to do stuff like opening doors or do the chores simply because it's the nice thing to do and he feels like doing it, and even when he's trying to ditch someone he feels bad for doing it even if it's necessary. He even holds no ill feelings towards his old friend Matthias who turned into Dracula, and is a Cool Uncle to Dracula's son Alucard. However, that's not to say he is without flaws: one of his two divorces was caused entirely because of his Undying Loyalty to Sara, meaning that his living wives were Competing with a Corpse, and his monster-slaying lifestyle was quite a strain to his family and finances. In addition, since he is a very social person by nature, the fact that he can't actually interact with anyone took quite the mental toll on him, even if he hides it.
- Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton: Shinji is the nicest guy in the story. In fact he is maybe the only nice guy in the cast. It is one of the reasons Asuka is drawn to him.
- Turnabout Storm has Lenora, a griffon racer and mail carrier. She's friendly, passionate about her work and hobby, and worried about her distressed friend; making an awful lot of contrast with the other griffon present in the series. Although she makes a point of not wanting to discuss anything regarding Ace Swift.
- The Vampire of Steel: Out of all main characters, Kara is the nicest and sweetest. She goes out of her way to help everyone and feels extremely downcast when she's told she can't do anything to help the situation in Sunnydale.
- Facing the Future Series: Jane Parker is a kind, if annoyingly cheerful, girl. To Danielle's surprise, she even invites the school Alpha Bitch to her birthday, claiming "I don't want to be rude". Danielle soon establishes a rapport with Jane, and uses her ghost powers to protect her from humiliation when the Alpha Bitch decides to pull a cruel prank on Jane anyways.
- ResurrectedMemories:
- Danny. He is ultimately a kind hearted individual who always uses his powers to do the right thing and he is extremely loyal to his friends and will not hesitate to protect them. It's these traits that eventually make Ember become attracted to him, due to the fact that he genuinely cared for her human self as a friend.
- The OC Christopher Morgan is also a Nice Guy who becomes Ember's bandmate and is even interested in Sam to boot.
- Bushroot from Negaverse Chronicles. His friends even tell him that he's sometimes too nice for his own good.
- Batman Revisited: The titular character is a lot more gentle here than in most versions, almost resembling the Adam West interpretation in his politeness.
- In Hellsister Trilogy, Kara Zor-El is described as "the kindest, most compassionate member of the Superman Family". She'd never stop trying to help anyone out, no matter what.
- Kara of Rokyn: The titular character is kind-hearted and caring to a fault. She even tries to help people whom she has good reason to hate like Jara, who beat Kara up because she turned her advances down.Jasmine blinked back tears. Damn it, why did Kara Zor-El have to be so good? Why did she have to be so kind, so damnably noble?
- In Teen Titans fanfic Down the Rabbit Hole, Barry Allen and his wife Iris are incredibly kind and supportive to the kids.
- In the Twice Upon an Age series, this is how Varric (the story's editor) views Victoria, the Lady Inquisitor. She's really a bit of an Iron Woobie, but she's such a gentle and compassionate person that it actually concerns him. He remarks in a letter to Bethany Hawke that "She’s a sweet kid; this world isn’t kind to sweet kids. I worry about her." The Lord Inquisitor is also an extremely Nice Guy, but he's snarky and pragmatic enough that Varric knows he can take care of himself.
- Shrinking Violet tendencies and her lack of self-esteem aside, Amanda is easily one of the nicest and sweetest characters in the whole series. The little girl couldn't make a selfish wish if she tried and always tries to think about how her actions could affect other people. This was pretty much what ends up endearing her to Norm and later Timmy.
- Fate Ground Zero: Rider is possibly the most decent human being of all the Servants.
- Corrin Reacts: A large part of the cast, however the eponymous character, Benny and Kaze are standouts, with Corrin wanting to play The Matchmaker for Flora's happiness among other things, Benny constantly watching out for Beruka's well-being and Kaze's niceness stunning Felicia for a little.
- Frayed Edges:
- Michael Afton. He's genuinely sweet and kind to pretty much everyone, even people who he has every right to despise for what they've done to him.
- Ness is an unbelievably kind, perky woman who is compassionate and friendly to a fault.
- Springtrap and Deliah
- Deliah is a chipper, happy young girl who just wants everybody to be friends.
- Harry is friendly and collected with everyone around him, including Springtrap.
- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Vivienne Graham used to be this, true to her description in the Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) novelization. Whilst she's still as kind and compassionate now as she was when she was human, she's lost the "psychologically well-balanced" entirely, thanks to her initial death by Ghidorah's middle head and her subsequent Trauma Conga Line giving her a bad case of untreated PTSD.
- Italy sure is one in Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità just like in canon. He remains kind even after having been viciously beaten and nearly raped by the homophobe and being harassed by the bully only shortly after. He also remains kind to Austria who had abused him in his childhood for hundreds of years.
- Golden Age:
- Wrathtor/Eudora Kalhil, who's one of the genuinely nicest trolls in existence.
- The Spiceler, despite being an ancient sea-dweller, is also incredibly nice, and leads a faction of other nice trolls who want to stamp out the practice of child sex-slaves, by killing pirates and buyers and doing their best to rehabilitate the children.
- Several characters in Some Semblance of Meaning: Lark and Damon stands out as the most obvious examples, but Kit also has a good heart to balance out his sharp tongue, and for a Career, Obsidian is a very nice guy, indeed. As for the girls, there's the obvious example of Vale, along with her little sister Laurel, among others.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
- In Children of Hades, Hades is a surprisingly nice guy. Often described as "the chill of the underworld with a warm center," he takes in Adventurers that no other Familia will accept, and even orphans off the street, and gives them food, a place to live, and a purpose. He may be pretty intimidating at first, but he's a rather nurturing guy with a love of children, animals, and a dislike for the mistreatment of women.
- Satsuki Matoi from Maim de Maim is easily one of the most nicest people in the whole story one can ever hope to meet. Adding to this, she's quite forgiving and pacifistic towards her enemies, along with making new friends pretty quickly. Compare that to Satsuki in canon.
- Akio from Before My Body Is Dry is -usually- a very selfless, civil, all-around nice guy who is very close to his loved ones.
- Takihara Fenshani from Seduction. He's helpful, considerate, doesn't hide what he feels, and nice enough to ask Sarakshi if he can kiss her before leaning in (not that the kiss ever happens, given Tora's interference).
- Chloe Price in The Mechanic, an Alternate Universe Fic in which she and Max meet for the first time when the latter's car breaks down on the way to Los Angeles, is nothing but friendly and helpful. She drops Max off at her new apartment while she fixes the car (to spare her the trouble of having to navigate L.A. during rush hour), gives her a discount due to her being new to town, and helps Max unload and move in when returning her car the next morning. When asked why she is being so helpful, Chloe explains to Max that her father was hit and crippled by a drunken driver; seeing Max alone and in an unfamiliar town with a broken car reminded her too much of her father's struggles, and compelled her to help.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Despite being called a coltcuddlin' pedophile, Caramel of Assumptions is as close to this trope as possible. He lets Rainbow Dash sleep on his bed while he gets the floor, after she accidentally drinks a spiked beverage. Then he cooks breakfast for her when she wakes, up, and again for over a month afterwards when she shows up expecting more. And even after it's revealed she nearly accidentally killed him with a botched stunt, Caramel chooses to accept her half-hearted apology so they could keep being friends. That's probably why she's slowly falling in love with him.
- John from The Diary of John is really very nice, if a bit of a bore. Not once so far has he done anything remotely jerk-like. In fact, when he encounters a real jerk, one who's doing illegal things and bullying his friends, what does he do? Does he yell? Physically fight her? Drive her out of town? Turn his nose up and ignore her? Nope. What he DOES do is call the hospital when she (supposedly) gets hurt, comfort a friend whom she picked on, and informs the authorities of the illegal aspects of the whole business. All without even casting a nasty look at the bully.
- Advice and Trust: Shinji always tries to be kind and polite. He even felt guilty after turning Chihiro down, because he thought maybe he'd been too harsh.
- Evangelion 303: Kaworu is known for not having grievances, and he is nice, kind and understanding to the extreme. You have to work real, real hard to get him angry (not even Asuka manages getting him angry). And even then his reaction is feeling mild annoyance or disdain, and maybe avoiding you.
- Ghosts of Evangelion: Shinji really tries to be nice to everyone and make things right after his mistakes led to the end of the world.
- HERZ: Despite of some serious failings and bad actions which he regrets (such like his actions in the hospital when Asuka was comatose), Shinji is not a bad guy, and he genuinely wants and try to be a good person.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: Although sometimes Shinji can be a jerk, he tries to be kind and caring.
- In Once More With Feeling (Crazy-88), Shinji tries to be kind to everyone. Asuka, Misato, and Hikari wonder why he's so nice, selfless and obsessed with making everyone happy.
- Shinji from The Second Try thinks of himself as a throwaway, pathetic human being whose weakness and inability to deal with people and loneliness led to the extinction of humanity. According his wife, he’s one of the kindest, most compassionate persons she’s ever known.He often said he was just selfish, wanting everyone to like him, and that's what she had thought for a long while herself. But compared with others, including herself, he was, even with that motive in mind, the most caring and compassionate person she knew.
- First Date: Luz Noceda, as her name would suggest, is a walking ball of light and is even tolerant of Hooty’s annoying obsession with her romantic life.
- Everybody's Gotta Leave Sometime: Charlie Brown is too nice for his own good. When Lucy wants to pull the Football gag for the last time before saying goodbye to him, Charlie accepts only to make her happy.Patty: That was a very nice thing you did for her, Chuck. Stupid, but very nice.
- The Unlikely Ally: The rogue Incubator drone Key becomes this as a result of gaining emotions and individuality. He wishes to atone for his actions as an Incubator drone, seeks to save every Magical Girl that has turned into a Witch, and actually goes out of his way to try and warn Mami, Madoka, and Sayaka about Kyubey as soon as possible, even when Homura is against it. In contrast to Kyubey's superficial politeness, Key's cordial and kind personality is genuine because of his emotions making him act more human. Key's kindness ends up endearing him to Madoka, Sayaka, Mami, and Nagisa, with Madoka even noting how Key's kindness is genuine when compared to Kyubey's surface-level politeness, and Oriko is utterly shocked when Key goes out of his way to save her life after she assumed that he's a threat due to seeing a vision of him destroying Mitakihara in his battle with Walpurgisnacht.
- Played with in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. Whereas the four are Actual Pacifists and fiercely cling to that stance despite the semi-war raging around them, and they're not depraved or anything, they aren't portrayed as “Nice Guys”—even Ringo, who, despite having that reputation in Real Life, in the book is having major addiction problems that screw with his overall Nice-Guyness. However, compared to everyone else there, they come off as the Nice Guys, particularly Paul, who takes care to be polite to everyone who isn't actually attacking him. (It must be noted, however, that underneath the veneer of politeness Paul is often seething with anger or jealousy and needs his “background noise” to keep himself on an even keel.)
- Ultimate Sleepwalker: Rick Sheridan was a pleasant but fairly unassuming college student when the alien Sleepwalker became trapped in his mind. He was more than a little pissed off about it when it happened, and fell into a downwards spiral after it happened, becoming isolated from his friends in the process...but he always let Sleepwalker out when it was necessary, willingly went back into the Mindscape with Sleepwalker so they could confront Cobweb, and when his friends began suffering problems of their own from their own tragedies, Rick proved to be the rock of the group and helped them cope with what they were going through.
- Ser Addam Marbrand from the Continuation Fic The North Remembers, a close companion and brother-in-arms to Jaime Lannister. He's chivalrous, courteous, and hardly loses his temper even when things don't go as planned. He's one of the few people who recognizes the impending winter and invasion of the Others as a legitimate threat to the Seven Kingdoms, and makes the decision to turn the Lannister fleet against House Bolton because of their universally despised control over the North. While he forces Edmure to help him search for Jeyne Westerling because of the possibility of her carrying Robb's child, he doesn't do it so that he can kill the child himself, maintaining the Boltons' control over the north, but so that she could be returned to her family and raise the child themselves and possibly use it to bring the North back into genuine peace. When he does meet up with her, he doesn't even seem to care at all about the baby's crippled condition, and stands up for her when she receives a cold reception amongst the Northmen at White Harbour, assuring Jeyne that her son will grow up to become a good lad.
- Hurley from We Can Be Heroes is a jolly fellow who is incredibly polite and genial to just about everyone he meets. He's introduced offering to give Lapis free fuel for her ship after she's laughed out of a bar for asking for help, and when her ship is towed off he's willing to help her buy it back with no strings attached. He even buys a new dessert from a little girl when a local mobster ruins it for the sake of being a dick. Thanks to his positive attitude, Lapis warms up to him quickly.
- And Steven is every bit as friendly as he is in canon. He's incredibly supportive of Lapis' decision to leave earth and respectful of her trauma, while quick to forgive her for blowing up and insulting him in a fit of stress-fueled rage. Thanks to the kindness he showed her, Lapis greatly values his friendship and regularly dreams about the good times she had with him on Earth.
- A Codette World Tour: Bridgette being a Nice Girl is what made Cody eventually have feelings for her, and vice versa. It was what made Sierra (eventually) decide to let Bridgette date Cody. It was also what made Cody fangirl Anita accept Bridgette and Cody being together.
- Second Chance at Love: Cody; it's one of the main reasons why Lindsay and Leshawna fall for him. The same applies to pretty much every guy in a stable relationship at the end of the story.
- A TDA Love Triangle with Betty, Cody, and Gwenny: Cody is quite nice and helpful to both Gwen and Bridgette. DJ also qualifies, comforting Gwen and sympathizing with Bridgette's awful situation with Geoff.
- Three Tests of Valor: One of the reasons Lindsay falls in love with Harold.
- Total Drama: Cody's Redemption: Cody decided to do some good acts for several campers.
- When Courtney had her eye swollen, Cody offered her a bottle of eye drops he packed for himself.
- Cody offered Lindsay to assist her in remembering the names of every camper in Camp Wawanakwa.
- During the Boney Island challenge, Cody hooks Trent up with Gwen like the first time around, the same way like the first time.
- When Cody ran into Beth in the paintball challenge, he helps her realize that Heather isn’t to be trusted and she was just using Beth for her own plans. He comes down the Dock of Shame to say goodbye to her after she's eliminated.
- Total Drama Isle: Dwayne has all the trappings of a typical Jerk Jock, but he's actually a pleasant person.
- Total Drama Letteredo: Eddie. This trait is amplified here more than in the original Total Drama Letterz 2.
- Total Drama Nations: Andres, Jafari, and Mustafa among the boys; and Anna, Lacey, and Olivia among the girls.
- Total Drama Refresh: Brady, especially towards Sooz.
- Total Drama Revolution: Donny. MacKenzie is a Nice Girl, but she's also a Flat Character.
- Total Drama: Some Stars
- Owen, Tyler, and Brick, natch. Duncan is developing from a Jerk with a Heart of Gold to this.
- Mike was formerly this.
- Total Drama Stranded: Garfield. Ilona is a Nice Girl.
- Total Drama Switcheroo: Ken and Charlie. Missy says she's a Nice Girl, but really comes across more as domineering.
- Total Drama Tweenabet: Several, most notably Charles and Harvey.
- Unbreakable Red Silken Thread: Cody, obviously, but he's far from alone. Brick hasn't had much screen time yet but comes across as this, same with Shawn and Cameron.
- Hound in Transformers Meta. He has shown that his tolerance for Grimlock is higher than the other adult Autobots. However, that's not to say that the two don't have their bouts, like one having dirt thrown in his optics and the other getting slammed into a rock. Guess which one is which.
- Theo Sanders from Atonement. After some character development, his submissiveness is mostly gone, but he's still unfailingly nice to everyone.
- In Laura's Journal: My Story as Told by Me has Case Lancaster, Laura's love interest and the long-lost son of Victor Creed, aka Sabertooth. Despite Laura's occasional Designated Hero tendencies, he stands by her loyally, is willing to face down Logan because he likes her, and his niceness is actually enough to push Victor Creed of all people into a Heel–Face Turn. He borders on being a Gary Stu because of this, but somehow he does it without it becoming too obvious.
- In Risk It All, Ren is largely portrayed as a nice, well-meaning kid who is in over his head between his gambling habit, superpowers, and getting shot by Black Mask. He can't bring himself to stop a child in Koreatown who stole food out of necessity for herself, instead paying off the shopowner with interest. His crusade to stop Black Mask is motivated largely out of a desire to prevent anyone else from getting hurt rather than revenge, and he cringes at Soul-Crushing Strike's bone-breaking power even when he's punching mobsters.
- Jimmy Frost, one of ZPD's new recruits in Born to Be Wilde, is a young arctic fox who's nothing but cheerful, educated and honest, traits that go entirely against the stereotype of his species and marks him as a foil to Nick. That's because he grew in a stable and supportive well-off family, and never had his innocence traumatically marred like Nick with the Junior Ranger Scouts.
- Aside from her brief faux pas in the first chapter, Pandora might very well be the nicest character in the whole Pack Street series. She's never anything but kind, polite, helpful and generous to everyone she comes across, and is possibly the only person Remmy enjoys hanging out with without any reservations.
