In worlds where everything is dark and most everyone operates in a Black and Gray Morality, a hero is suddenly introduced and is portrayed as genuinely good, selfless, and noble when all other so-called heroes operate in a more Grey and Gray Morality. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The hero's arrival is usually portrayed as a sudden spark of lightheartedness and hope. The character may even be a Plucky Comic Relief, providing some tension-reliving humor and levity into the dark and miserable world. Such a character gives an unexpected and almost out of place light to the media, and stands out against their fellow "heroes" and villains as being incorruptible and perhaps even Purity Personified. This can also include characters that have been around for a while (and are not suddenly introduced), but remain incorruptible even when the medium turns dark and other heroes fall or turn. Opposite of a Knight of Cerebus. Compare to Hope Bringer and Lighter and Softer. Can potentially be an instance of Mood Whiplash. |

TinkerQuarry: Many of the Living Toys in the Dollhouse are, or have become, psychotic killers. Those who aren't are generally gloomy and serious, or completely oblivious to it all. Whiskers and Skid are the two main exceptions to this rule. Despite all the horrors going on, they remain sweet, friendly, and very optimistic, and provide lighthearted moments in what would otherwise be a completely dark storyline. However, this trope is subverted if you take the "bad" route and steal the Essence from Sera, one of the more violent toys (Skid and Whiskers were friends with her previously, and aren't aware that she went bad). Skid and Whiskers are nice to you until they find out that you have Sera's Essence. They believe you to be the monster, and waste no time trying to kill you. After the battle, they despondently run away before being captured later and used to create a monster... needless to say, all of this can be averted if you play just as nice as they would. | |

Attack on Titan: Sasha Braus, though starting off as more of a comic relief, quickly shows her goodness when all the others give up hope. Though she too feels fear and even lets it get the best of her sometimes, she is selfless in her cause and only wants to protect others, only saving herself so she may save others later. Historia Reiss, originally introduced as Krista Lenz, is a tragic character with a Dark and Troubled Past, being the illegitimate child of a now all-but-extinct evil royal bloodline. Despite her hating herself for her family name, she only seeks to help others, and cares little to nothing about herself. |

Sonic Forces: The titular and iconic Sonic the Hedgehog takes the role in this darker entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. After Dr. Eggman takes over the world, then captures Sonic and locks him away, most of Sonic's friends form a resistance to try and fight back, but start to lose hope that they will succeed. Sonic eventually escapes from captivity, and despite having been apparently been tortured for months, he still keeps up his attitude and optimism, and helps the resistance fight, giving them newfound hope and strength. | |

Black Butler: Elizabeth Midford, Ciel Phantomhive's fiancée, is a chipper and bright ray of sunshine among all of the dark, brooding anti-heroes and bloodthirsty villains. She wants everything to be bright and cute, much to her dark fiancée's displeasure. However, she is also a skilled swordswoman and will fight to defend those she loves, though she'd rather not do this. Prince Soma Asman Kadar helps out the others whenever he can, and holds a respect and care for Ciel and Sebastian that surpasses his royal heritage. Though usually used as a Plucky Comic Relief, he does aid Ciel in investigations and competitions. |

Soul Eater: Despite a dark comedic tone, there are very few incorruptible heroes, though Tsubaki Nakatsukasa is the exception. While the other heroes can be kind and friendly, they are also shown to be capable of great cruelty and violence. Tsubaki, on the other hand, wouldn't hurt a fly unless it was for the safety of those she cares about, and remains pure even after the series gets darker. | |

Bendy and the Ink Machine: While most of the cartoons are villainous and trying to kill Henry, Boris the Wolf is the exception, being a friendly, calm cartoon character that helps Henry in his quest to atone for past sins. Though he's cowardly, he shows that he is possibly the only good cartoon in the studio. The more stable Alice who saved Henry (Allison) and her healthy Boris (Tom) seem to bear no ill will towards him either. |

Death Note Soichiro Yagami, despite being a bit stern, is the voice of reason within the Kira Investigation Group and always helps set the group back on track if they begin to stray morally. Even when it seems that the only way to progress is to do something wicked, Soichiro will fight it or look for another way, only showing force as an act or when he has no choice. Touta Matsuda, while a bit of a comic relief, is pure in his sense of justice. He seeks to end Kira's seemingly endless cycle of killing and to give all those lost the justice they deserve. He is the ever-optimistic pawn in the system, but nonetheless will fight for what he believes in, only becoming violent when more lives are at stake. |

My Life with Master: Used as an actual gameplay mechanic; the game's setting is thoroughly Gothic Horror, initially dominated by Fear over Reason, but the Game Master may introduce up to two "Innocents", i.e. NPCs who are so morally pure, their mere presence brings out the best in people. Mechanically, this means that any Innocent who is present during a scene temporarily raises its overall Reason ranking, making it easier to resist Fear, but if one of them is killed or traumatized, the global Fear score permanently goes up. | |

The Bartimaeus Trilogy: Ptolemy was a magician and one of the first to research and come back alive from the Other Place. He created Ptolemy's Gate before his death, a way for people to travel back and forth between the Other Place. Even though Ptolemy dies before the series begins, he is one of the few unquestionably good characters in a world of people with questionable moralities. | |
