Rare examples of characters that are meant to be hated but come off as sympathetic and/or tragic, mainly due to being originally meant to be played for sympathy before subverting that later on or due to their sympathetic moments not detracting from what made them hateable.
Naturally, they will almost always fall under Fake Tragic or sometimes Minor Tragic.
Notable examples include:
- Characters who were originally going to be played for sympathy until they reject their redemption and drop all their sympathetic qualities (e.g. Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear)
- Characters whose heinous acts far exceed their genuine sympathetic moments they possessed, especially if they were minor (e.g. the English dub version of La Signora, Akemi Hinazuki).
- Characters who had sympathetic moments which no longer motivate their actions (e.g. ChloƩ Bourgeois, the original script version of Monty de la Cruz).
