You can list both, since both tropes applied to this character at some point in the series. Opposite tropes/tropes at odds are common, IMO, since a lot of series feature Character Development.

What about Jerkass and Jerk with a Heart of Gold? I'm cleaning up the pages for House of Anubis, and pretty much every character labeled under Jerkass is also under Jerk with a Heart of Gold- but for the most part, it wasn't character development that revealed their good sides, they were just very bad at showing those good sides. It should just be Jerk with a Heart of Gold, right?

Jerkass shouldn't be listed if a more specific trope exists... which I don't get since it's a trope and not an index.
