* [[Sherlock Holmes]] becomes this towards Watson; especially shown when Watson gets hurt.
* While the titular character of ''[[Beachwalker]]'' is a kind and giving person, it takes a {{spoiler|bullet wound}} for her to let anyone start to get close to her.
* Glinda Arduenna Upland in ''[[Wicked (novel)|Wicked]]'' becomes this as her friendship with Elphaba grows, and even more so when {{spoiler|Dr. Dillamond was killed by Madame Morrible}}.
* Hermione Granger in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' starts off as a stuck-up know-it-all, but calms down after [[Fire-Forged Friends|Ron and Harry defeat a troll for her.]]

** [[Super sentai]]
* In ''[[Mirai Sentai Timeranger]]'' we have Yuri who initially started of being very serious,emotionless and cold towards Tatsuya and rest of her teammates due to her [[Dark and troubled Past]] but as the series progress she realized that she shouldn't be serious all the time and she eventually began to warm up to Tatsuya and rest of her friends and in the end of the series she confess to Tatsuya that she loves him but she could not be with him anymore due to the large gap between their timeline
* In [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]] we have Houji who initially started of as a cold,arrogant and a standoffish person especially towards Ban as the series progress he become much more matured and a [[Friendly Sniper|compassionate person]] and began to warm up to Ban.
