Beneath the Mask also applies, and there's a good chance they're a Stepford Smiler.

I was wondering if there was a trope for characters that may seem perfect and have perfect lives but in reality they and their lives aren't so perfect. For example they may get good grades and be popular at school but get abused at home. In particular, I was wondering if there was a trope for when a character is so "perfect" other characters hate him/her and bully them for it, turning their "perfection" into something more of a curse. The reason they may appear perfect, or at the very least to "have it good", can vary, from intentionally hiding the worse part of their lives/flaws in order to fit in to unintentionally hiding it because they think they have no right to complain. Either way, I would very much appreciate it if someone could help me find the trope(s) closest to what I just described. Please and thank you!
