I assume you mean for new characters only. Or are there enough tropes related to the original characters that they should be split off too?

- Didn't See That Coming: Xiu never saw coming her betrayal by Jia because she believed her sister was too weak, pathetic, and easily manipulated due to being dumb and old-fashioned for a Help Face Turn to work on her, and so could never possibly be a danger. She was wrong. (Though to be fair, it was The Reveal of who really killed their father, and subsequent support from Mei Ling, that proved to be the proverbial straw.) Similarly, Heian Chao never expected Po to respond to the I Have Your Father situation which he engineered through the Wu Sisters by gathering The Cavalry and riding to the rescue, rather than meekly accepting the inevitable. In his defense, however, while Chao was quite aware of how Po's Incorruptible Pure Pureness was changing Tai Lung for the better, he had no way of knowing the reverse was also true, causing the panda to Take A Level In Badass—nor that Po was not as gentle and harmless as he appeared.
Help Face Turn was renamed Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal. Needs someone familiar with the work to confirm if this is misuse or not. For now I'm going to add this example back with Heel–Face Turn used instead.

Not a misuse; Jia was most definitely mistreated by both Xiu and Chao. Will change the trope name.
Can we have a characters list.
