Line 1:
{{trope}}
* Gohan's adherence to this trope is parodied in ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged''. When he is a shy, meek, nerdy kid with good manners, a lot of the characters in the series abuse him in hiarious manners. When he loses it ([[Precision F
{{quote| * After Dende's Father and Brother are killed.*<br />
'''Krillin:''' Breathe Gohan! You're a leaf. A leaf in a calm stream!<br />
Line 11:
* ''[[The Saga of Tuck]]'' has several perfectly nice, ordinary characters who are all but trained covert operatives in intelligence, counterintelligence, black propaganda and sabotage.
* In ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', Sheila is pretty nice and even-tempered, especially in comparison to the rest of the cast. She's also the installed AI in a ''tank''.
** Another AI example is Delta. Mostly emotionless, he's nonetheless shown subtle and very touching dedication to his partner York, even insisting on staying beside him into death. He's later revived, and partnered with South Dakota, who proceeds to try using him as bait to let herself escape. When South is captured, it's Delta that recommends that she [[No
** Caboose is another example. He started out as an idiot and only [[Flanderization|got]] [[The Ditz|dumber]]. However, he is by far the nicest member of the main cast; he cares more about making friends than fighting (unfortunately, when he does fight, generally he's a danger to his allies). However, when he worked himself up into a fury, aside from launching into a series of nonsensical one-liners ("Your toast has been burnt and no amount of scraping will remove the black parts!"), he defeated two armies of flag-obsessed zealots.
*** [[Fridge Logic|His nonsensical one-liners are actually helping him fight,]] because he's saying things that make him angry, prolonging his [[Unstoppable Rage]]. [[You Fight Like a Cow]] probably makes the slaughter easier for him.
*** Caboose is also [[Nigh Invulnerable]], equipped with a [[Super Strength]] [[Powers As Programs|unit]], man enough to be in a temporary relationship with a tank, and just wants to keep his best friend [[MacGuffin Girl|Chu]][[Living MacGuffin|rch]] safe.
**** Don't forget that his [[Super
** Doc was also a case while he was stuck with O'Malley for a while.
** The [[Origins Episode|flashback subplot]] in Season 9 shows that Washington was pretty meek for a Freelancer, contrasting with his established [[The Stoic|personality]] and [[I Did What I Had to Do|actions]].
Line 32:
* Matt of ''[[Two Best Friends Play]]'' is usually the calmer of the two friends, preferring [[Lighter and Softer]] games. But when he plays ''[[Deus Ex Human Revolution (Video Game)|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'', after some initial reluctance, Matt goes nuts with the [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]], stabbing and punching all the NPCs he can find.
* ''[[The Gungan Council]]''. Io Akima seems to be one of the most lovable, playful persons around. That is, until Adira smashed her datapad, which was a gift from a friend that had died. Cue Io going from wanting to tease Adira to outright attempting to murder her.
* The title character of [[Erikas New Perfume]] is normally a loving, soft spoken [[Shrinking Violet]], but when [[Big Brother Bully|Big Sister Bully]] Marie tries to {{spoiler|reverse [[Cool Big Sis|Sarah's]] [[Plot Relevant Age Up]],}} she ''snaps'' and lays into her with an epic combination [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] / [[World of Cardboard Speech]] that leaves her flabbergasted. In a ''wet diaper,'' no less.
