The Enfant Terrible is an adorable child. An angel, one might say, with a cherubic face. One just wants to pick them up and hug them. But they're dangerous. An Enfant Terrible knows people think they're cute, and will use that to their advantage. When one person finds out, said hero usually has a hard time convincing others, who will turn on them for even suggesting such a thing about the poor, poor child. An Enfant Terrible may be supernatural, or simply a child born without a conscience. They may also be a Self-Made Orphan. A form of the Devil in Plain Sight. Might overlap with Girl Scouts Are Evil, if they do more than just sell you cookies, and with Kids Are Cruel, if the kid's behaviour also transpires in his relationship to other children. Akin to the Creepy Child, except Enfants Terribles are truly dangerous and vicious at heart, whereas a Creepy Child isn't necessarily psychopathic or evil. It is common for an Abusive Offspring to be an Enfant Terrible, although they are not exclusively this, or vice versa. Of course, such a character almost always plays the Wouldn't Hurt a Child and Children Are Innocent cards to get away with their actions, which almost always works—for a while. They're unlikely to be directly killed by any heroic character in the story, but they have a habit of becoming Self Disposing Villains. Virtually defenseless in a direct physical battle and hindered by their undeveloped bodies, Enfants Terribles with no super powers are usually obliged to operate by proxy. Thus, Corruption by a Minor is often their favourite technique to get what they want. Sub-Trope of Superior Successor (assuming it's unusual). See also Undead Child and Evil Orphan, which are common subtypes. Often the nemesis of a Kid Hero. Not related to Child Soldier but the two can overlap. Compare Tyke-Bomb, Little Miss Badass, Cute Is Evil, Fetus Terrible, Cute and Psycho, Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon. Contrast with Psychopathic Manchild, where an already-grown psycho behaves like a child. Contrast Goo-Goo-Godlike, in which the child is not evil, just playful and way too powerful. See also Teens Are Monsters, the aggregate adolescent equivalent of this trope. Not to be confused with Les Enfants Terribles, which instead both fall under Tyke-Bomb. It is sufficient to say that psychopathy manifests itself from a very young age, and there is some Truth in Television in this trope. However, any specific Real Life examples…no, thanks. noreallife |

Bonesaw, from Worm. A pre-teen Mad Doctor with the personality of a five-year-old. She has one Hell of a Freudian Excuse, though; she was forced to heal her dying family. Over and over and over again, until she was too tired to continue. After such, Jack, the man who killed her family, took her in, and Bonesaw followed the last request of her mother to 'be good' by putting on the superficial mask of a cheerful, well-behaved child while using her powers the way Jack wanted in order to stay alive. | |

In 8-Bit Theater, The Onion Kid is mistaken for this after the deaths of his family and several foster families afterward. Black Mage did it in reality. BM might have been one of them but we don't know if he was cute (we can guess he was not though). |

Eerie Cuties: Chapter 9 introduced Tia Darkness, a pint-sized demoness who may be older than she appearsnote which was subtly implied when she refers to Nina as "little one", despite appearing to be the same physical age. She soon established herself as an antagonist, by using her powers to severe friendships so she can feed of the victims' misery. By the same token, kindness and happiness weakens her, to the point of making her physically ill. So in all likelihood, she has to sow discord in order to sustain her existence. | |

In True Villains, Bayn Pheonix and Mia Jalek are both children that work for an evil demon. Bayn is a more direct example — he fights alongside the demon and his minions. Mia builds golems that fight in her stead. Neither of them is quite a straight example, though: Bayn was an old (evil) man who was severely aged down, while Mia is a genuinely kind, sweet girl trying to help out her friends... who happen to be, well, villains. | |

Dahlia Hawthorne from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations was a prime example of this trope before she had even committed her first murder. When she was just fourteen, she staged a fake kidnapping with Terry Fawles and her stepsister Valerie in order to extort ransom money from her father, and then got Terry put on death row as a result of Dahlia faking her own death, with him as the only suspect. Of course, Valerie wasn't much better, but Dahlia was the one who came up with the plan in the first place. And she later killed her stepsister. | |

Happens multiple times in Last Place Comics. The children in "Kidz Zone" seem like ordinary children, except that they throw another kid into a ball pit for having facial hair. "Candy House" has a group of children devouring the titular candy house after a witch's attempt to capture children to eat backfires. One of them even bites her! Exaggerated in "Alpha Baby", where a baby that was born moments ago can ride a motorcycle and threatens a doctor with a switchblade. |

Blackbirds RPG: Caoimhe-Ailis was the only daughter of a brutal warlord named Caoimhe-Ondrej, and had the charming habit of torturing small animals and parts of their corpses as decoration. When Ondrej joined the Oligarchs in their quest to usurp the gods, Ailis murdered him and stole his divinity by tearing his throat out with her teeth at the age of 10. She is now the Child of Longing, a mothlike Eldritch Abomination who has corrupted the ancestral Caoimhe clanlans, and often afflicts innocent travelers with nightmarish fates worse than death for her own amusement. | |

Apparently normal to some extent for Homestuck's trolls. Backstabbing and mutilating each other is rife among troll kids, and Eridan and Gamzee went on killing sprees at the equivalent age of thirteen. One thing a lot of readers forget until the killing sprees begin is that Vriska and Eridan had already murdered countless other troll kids and their guardians, prior to the game. A Million Is a Statistic, except when it's not. As soon as Calliope and Caliborn's personalities split, Caliborn became an insufferable little brat whose first act was to bite into his adoptive father Gamzee's shoulder. He only gets worse with age. |

In the 2013 adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mike Teavee is upgraded from the Spoiled Brat of the book to this. The reason his mother allows electronic media — i.e. Shoot 'Em Up video games — to babysit him is because it's the only thing that he enjoys that doesn't result in actual destruction and injury to those around him. Otherwise, he's setting a cat on fire, chloroforming a nurse, stealing a German tank, etc. "[T]he authorities request/That little Mike not leave the house", she explains, and all the adults in his life seemed too cowed by what he might do to them to attempt more than token efforts to discipline him. Poor Mrs. Teavee has become a Type A Stepford Smiler in response to all this. It's telling that he didn't find his Golden Ticket, but rather managed to hack into the Wonka Factory computers and get one without having to buy a Wonka Bar — and he does it just because he can, not because he wants to see the factory. With all this in mind, and unlike in other versions, his mom is quite happy when he is reduced to a few inches tall... | |

The Child from the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama The Holy Terror. The child in question is a five-year-old boy who has been imprisoned in a dungeon ever since he was born so he would grow up untainted by the world, divine and all-powerful. His first few scenes confirm that he's all-powerful alright and that he's a dyed-in-the-wool sadist. | |

The Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 manual Heroes of Horror, incidentally, introduces a template called Unholy Scion, which is a creature whose soul has been substituted with a demonic/devilish/evil essence while still in the womb. Already at birth, the resulting child holds his/her/its own mother in thrall through evil power alone and gains terribly destructive powers as it grows in Hit Dice. Oh, and it is so evil that its merest touch can grievously harm good-aligned characters. | |

Old Harry's Game: Thomas Crimp, when he was a child. Even by the age of five, other children hated him because he scared them, when he wasn't just stealing from their parents. Thomas responded by killing them. And his parents, when they wouldn't buy him an expensive toy. And possibly one of his siblings. As an adult, Thomas is in many ways still that little child. He just got a lot better at getting what he wanted... until he winds up in Hell. | |

The Warriors of Hope in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. All of them are around 10-11 years old, and they're killing every adult in Towa City. Special mention goes to Monaca Towa, for deceiving all the other Warriors of Hope into almost committing suicide and, at the end of the game, taking over as the successor to Junko Enoshima. | |

There is a sequel to Cyberpunk 2020 called Cyber Generation, where the Edgerunners of CP2020 have mostly been either killed or grown complacent by buying cushy corpjobs with retirement, leaving the rebellion to their children. It's very possible to play this kind of character in this game, especially if your character is a type of YoGanger referred as a Beaver Brat. Beaver Brats mostly come from suburban areas and specialize in talking their way out of trouble by convincing adults that there has been a big misunderstanding and they couldn't possibly have done it. | |

The Most Popular Girls in School: Mikayla is just as bratty and malicious as her teenage sisters. She even threatened to throw Mackenzie's little sister down a flight of stairs. Brittnay was also very bitchy and violent in the Third Grade. Becoming friends with Mackenzie has put her a bit more under control. |

In Mage: The Ascension, widderslaint were reincarnated Nephandi (mages who were evil because of their malformed souls, or whose souls were malformed by their evil). Even before their awakening as mages, they're irredeemably evil (the fiction introducing them describes an infant crawling into his twin brother's crib to strangle him to death, then falling asleep hugging the corpse like a teddy bear). | |

Pleasant Goat Fun Class: Subverted. While his kid self is usually sensible for someone who is otherwise rude, Wolffy has no qualms in bringing out a gun to potentially shoot an elephant in the first episode of the first season, Animals & Plants, after Weslie discusses how hunters hurt elephants for their tusks. Thankfully, the gun shoots out a toothbrush that Wolffy uses to brush the elephants' tusks instead of actually hurting them. | |

She runs off after a single round of combat, and if you chase after her, she'll lure you into a back alley where three boys her age armed with weapons will ambush you. | |

Survival of the Fittest: Kimmy Redmond, a girl who has the look of somebody five years her junior, complete with carrying a lollipop around. A unicorn lollipop. She also has very few compunctions about causing harm to her classmates. Although it hasn't happened yet, it's very likely this will transfer to killing them too. ( It didn't, but she tried.) A more accurate example of this trope is 12-year-old prodigy Brandon Cuthbert, who, before the game, sliced up various woodland creatures for experiments. This carries over to when he dissects the former featherweight boxing champion of the world with a box cutter after suffocating him to unconsciousness with an X-box controller. He seems to show some remorse for his actions right before his death at the hands of Sera Wingfield though. |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The wolves are the villains and are generally loathed by the goats for wanting to eat them. Angelalily, the daughter of Wolnie's cousin Fragrant Wolf, is young enough that she is just entering school for the first time and has already caught upwards of 100 goats. (Mind you, this may not be considered so bad for the wolves, since they just want something to eat, but seeing a child wolf trying to capture goats would be a bit concerning for the goats themselves — especially since both species are Funny Animals in this show.) | |

Also there's JJ and Murphy O’Malaman, introduced in episode 355, a pair of incestuous kid detectives who murdered and flayed their own mother. |

On recent chapters, her evilness has evolved to the point of sacrificing virgins and wanting to gut her teacher like a fish. On the Monsterful 2010 Xmas Special, Ruby wanted to kill Santa because he brought her coal, not really a shocker. |

In The Gamer's Alliance, both Arawn and Yurius were truly horrible even when they were still young. Yurius gleefully set people on fire, and Arawn massacred his foster family as well as plenty of other people who annoyed him but still had the nerve to act innocent in order to fool the mages investigating the murders. | |

The New World of Darkness game Changeling: The Lost includes Fetchspawn, one of the options for the children of the fake people that the Gentry leave to replace Changelings. They have no Karma Meter. They have no empathy. Most people just assume they're autistic because of their total inability to relate to other human beings on an emotional or social level. They tend to kill things just because. This is all exacerbated by the fact that their touch automatically opens all doors, springs all locks, they cannot be bound or imprisoned, and people tend to ignore them, so they're able to slip around without notice. They are immune to Changeling superpowers, and their touch drains the Lost of magical energies. Oh...and did we mention that at the age of 21 they get sucked back into the Hedge, likely to become Gentry themselves? | |

She runs off after a single round of combat, and if you chase after her, she'll lure you into a back alley where three boys her age armed with weapons will ambush you. Appointment with F.E.A.R.: An installment set in the modern day, at one point you come across a child trying to shoplift a chocolate bar. If you decide to talk to the child, the kid will guiltily stick his hand into his pockets, as if to take out the chocolate bar he had stolen... only to pull a gun on you instead. Cue a Boom, Headshot! Legend of Zagor: One of the rooms in Castle Argent contains a trio of thieves, all of them younger than you, the youngest at around 8 years old... and they'll try slashing at you with knives. Although you're given an option to talk to them instead, where it turns out they can be reasoned with, and the youngest thief can be hired as an Assist Character during fights, helping you by stabbing at orcs and zombies. |

Little M. from Happy Heroes is young enough to be in the same classroom as the Supermen, who are in third grade (placing all of them at around 8 years old). He also has no problem actively helping Big M. to take over Planet Xing, though it's usually Big M. who does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to their evil schemes. | |
