How people dress says a lot about them, even when they don't dress to make a statement. So when Alice walks in wearing all black, chains, Spikes of Villainy, and sundry other signs of violence and villainy, Bob can assume they mean meanness. Except, once Bob actually sits down and talks to Alice, he realizes she is possibly the nicest person he could hope to meet, be she a calm, friendly Hell's Angel, or an Evil Overlord offering cookies, not to mention the entire Perky Goth trope. Alice may wear Freaky Fashion, but she has a Mild Mind. The cause can vary. The most common comes from the Aesop not to judge a book by its cover. Bob may have been wildly misinformed as to how Alice's group acts and is like, leading to a bad stereotype. Another possibility is that the group is very diverse, and the bad apples give the rest a bad name. Lastly, Alice may be a Defector from Decadence, or dresses tough to present a tough exterior, or simply likes the fashion statement without understanding or simply not caring what it means. In this last case, expect rank and file members of the group (who are as mean as they look) to give her grief over it. Antonym to Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance. See also Face of a Thug, Perky Goth, Killer Rabbit, and Scary Musician, Harmless Music. Compare Loon with a Heart of Gold (a kooky character who is actually kind and sweet), Erudite Stoner (who also have more insight than they let on), Monster Façade (a scary-looking but otherwise friendly character putting on a scary act) and Affably Evil (characters who appear completely sensible and level-headed, but are actually quite twisted and disturbed). Contrast with Clothes Make the Maniac. |

Worm's main character, Taylor, dresses in a black costume made of Black Widow spidersilk and armor plates with yellow lenses for eyes, and later uses her bug control powers to use bugs as a mask. She was assumed to be a villain from her first time out in costume, and many characters find her disturbing, intimidating, and an overall badass (though her actions while in costume certainly help those views along). Seeing things from her point of view, she's bluffing or has practical reasons for such a costume (she made her costume herself with her powers, and Black Widow silk is really hard to cut with a knife). She's just an awkward and insecure teenage girl who's had a tough time. | |

Ichigo of Bleach is often mistaken for a rebel or a delinquent because of his red hair, which is actually natural. This causes Ichigo's teachers to assume he's a troublemaker and give him grief, driving Ichigo to become a model student just to spite them, and is also contrasted with an actual delinquent who dyes his hair and attacks Ichigo for copying his look. | |

Nakanojo, a boy in Nichijou has a natural mohawk that leaves others thinking he's a delinquent (and at least one girl was attracted to him because of it.) However, he's a fairly kind and mild guy whose hobby is attempting to debunk the supernatural. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: This seems to be the case, oddly, for main character Yugi Mutou. Both he and his super-powered alter ego grow increasingly punky looking as time passes, but become, if anything, less dangerous and more reliable. Both of them. It never actually comes up outside a first-chapter remark from Ushio about cosplay and once when Bandit Keith refers to him as a "baby goth" early on in Duelist Kingdom. Yami Yugi himself teases Yugi about his fashion taste, and even states to Anzu during their date that it isn't really his style. Interestingly, it seems Yugi, not the Other Yugi, is the one who chooses all of his wardrobe; he uses his trademark collar and a black leather shirt underneath his school uniform since chapter one. Yami Yugi just shows it off more. |

One side character in Rat Race is this. While the family in the contest makes a detour to visit the Barbie Museum, their tour guide is dressed from head to toe like a Neo Nazi, while giving a low key and professional tour. In a bit of subversion, he is a Neo Nazi, and "Barbie" was a member of the Gestapo, not the doll. | |

Not Always Right: This scary-looking punk girl just wants to buy sandwiches and coffee for the homeless. She finds face-to-face interaction more fulfilling than simply signing checks to charities. Another punk girl on Not Always Friendly gets accused of smuggling drugs or liquor beneath her jacket. She reveals that she'd just bought a tropical fish, and was keeping it under her jacket to protect it from the winter chill on her way home. When this then-pregnant woman was caught in a panicked crowd on 9/11, she got an escort back to the ferry station from a rough-looking biker. |

The Demon Queen in Maoyu is a busty redhead dressed in Red and Black and Evil All Over. She is actually a huge nerd, an expert in Economical Science, and wants to save the world. And when left to her own devices, she actually prefers to dress in a far more sensible manner; it's her Head Maid who has the Villainous Fashion Sense, and she's the one who chooses what the Demon Queen wears. | |

In Persona 4, Kanji Tatsumi skips school, dresses in gang-like clothes, and then goes to school in those same clothes when he starts to attend again, and was suspected of bullying and being in a biker gang. In reality, he was fighting the biker gang for keeping his mother up at night, comes from a textile shop, is interested (and talented) in handicrafts, and despite speaking what's on his mind to the point that he frightens a police officer away, Kanji is a really nice guy to be friends with. | |

Karone, the second Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is Dressed Like a Dominatrix in a sleeveless black leather top and black leather pants, giving you the impression of someone who if not evil would probably be a gritty antihero. She's actually cute and bubbly with a childlike personality and giggles with joy the first few times she morphs. She even had a cute hilarious mishap when trying to summon the Galactabeasts. It should be noted that Karone was a villain in the previous season. The Boom Studios comics had a story where Karone reveals that some aspects of her Astronema mindset remain with her, suggesting that her choice of clothing is also a holdover from her time as a villain. |

Abby Sciuto from NCIS is a goth, with dyed black hair, a studded choker, spiked wrist bands, and black t-shirts and mini-skirts. She is explicitly stated to sleep in a coffin. She is also arguably the smartest member of the team, perky beyond belief, fiercely loyal to the rest of the team, and the first one they will rush to defend, under any circumstances. Not that they really need to. | |

A similar anecdote from the Internet has a gamer playing Pokémon on the subway/bus/train, accosted by an archetypal Scary Black Man... who asks if they can trade him a Skitty (or some other Ridiculously Cute Critter). | |

In his cameo in the movie Wayne's World, Alice Cooper proves to be friendly, soft-spoken and surprisingly knowledgeable of Illinois history. Given the differences between his stage persona and the way he appears in TV interviews, this is pretty much Truth in Television. | |

Nikki from Chrono Cross is Bishōnen The Rock Star who wears makeup, lots of leather and an outfit that bares his midriff, but he's also a very kind and thoughtful person. | |

God in Joan of Arcadia frequently showed up in the form of a spiky-haired gothic boy who wears full face paint, to give charming and reasonable advice to her. God would also show up as a six year old girl with a headband with googly antenna that bobbled with her head movement... and would then engage in conversations involving complex metaphysical questions about the very nature of the universe and God's role in it (and it was pretty clear that the actress playing this incarnation of God was having some trouble with saying her lines). As a whole, the show had ran on a strong theme of Hidden Depths as God instructed Joan to become friends with an aggressive stereotypical Butch Lesbian classmate and a spaced out Stoner type... and it turned out that both personalities were much more in depth and the rumors about them were just that. The first friend was straight and was first to stand up for others, and feared no one would see her if she was more feminine, while the later friend had never done any drugs, but was just anti-social and many of his weird behaviors were due to his focus on his artistic talents. And this quest wasn't even about God teaching Joan this lesson as the connections Joan made facilitated much wider and far reaching implications then just making new friends... both in Joans life and people she would likely never meet. Of course, when your theme song is "What If God Was One of Us?", it was certain that if the Freaky Fashion person wasn't God himself (or herself) they were definately more then what the presented outwardly. | |

Robert Smith of the Cure had a guest appearance as a super hero able to stop Mecha-Streisand. Korn had a guest appearance where they acted like incredibly nice Scooby-Doo expies. They subverted this trope by exchanging their usual style◊ for clean cut track suits. | |

In Zits, Pierce is covered in tattoos and piercings, but is one of the nicest people around, and an Animal Lover. Jeremy once described him as "face of silver, heart of gold". He is still quite the oddball, and has unconventional ideas, but he's never actively malicious. | |

Played with by the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who. You might expect a striking, imposing, 760-years-old but young-looking man with Icy Blue Eyes and an unusually deep voice who wears long dark curly hair, muttonchops, a variety of beautiful dark velvet frock coats, patterned velvet waistcoats with red ascots, poet shirts and pirate boots to have a severe, brooding, vampiric personality. Of course, the fact that he thinks the stylish accessory that goes best with this outfit is eighteen feet of clashing stocking-stitch scarf causes his outfit to paradoxically reflect his personality while at the same time fitting this trope. It's also interesting since despite the Fourth Doctor being unexpectedly a cheerful, amiable and rather undignified Nice Guy, his dark side is even madder and weirder than the melodramatic Victorian poets he resembles could even hope to be. | |

Used in a Dick Tracy storyline; one of his daughter's classmates is a scary-looking Goth guy, the daughter turns him down for a dance date because she's afraid of him. He's actually a nice, friendly, and law-abiding guy who just happens to be a little too into a certain genre of music. | |

Listen to an interview with the monster-costumed Finnish metal band Lordi sometime. In character, they're ferocious, out of character (but still in costume, they never remove the outfits in public), they're very calm and polite. Awa is supposedly a school teacher in her civilian life, although no one knows their true identities. | |

While Zagreus of Hades looks every bit the Prince of the Underworld he is with skull-trimmed red and black garb, his Undeathly Pallor, an infernal right eye, and eternally burning feet. But rather than being an Overlord Jr. or even a moody antihero, Zagreus is a sheltered but spirited social butterfly who Desperately Craves Affection, which he tries to earn through (sometimes overbearing) generosity and Chronic Hero Syndrome. | |

South Park zig-zags this trope for comedic effect or to deliver an Aesop. A few examples: The character of Big Gay Al is every Camp Gay stereotype amplified to offensive levels, but is one of the few truly positive role models in South Park's Crapsaccharine World. He is even willing to give up Scouting, which he is very passionate about, in order to protect the Boy Scout's First Amendment right of freedom of association (a subset of free speech). He vows to convince the Boy Scouts to accept gays, not to trample their rights with a court order. Mr. Slave one-ups him by being a blend of Camp Gay, Hard Gay, and a "total whore." He regularly wears outfits that wouldn't look out of place in a fetish club. He's initially shown willing to perform quite perverse acts (involving small furry animals, tubes, and his colon) in front of kids just to help defraud the school district out of money, but later winds up becoming a genuinely "decent" character who occasionally mentors the kids. That doesn't stop him from performing a similarly perverse act involving his bowels, Paris Hilton, and no tube. Another episode, "The Ungroundable", had the Vampire Kids whose fad threatened the Goth Kids' style and identity. The Vampire Kids are all genuinely good kids, each of them a Rule-Abiding Rebel who won't even drink coffee. The Goth kids have no problems stealing a car, abducting another kid, burning down a store, smoking, and drinking coffee. Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda insisted he was a panda and never removed his fur suit, yet was the voice of reason in his episode, even finding a new purpose in life as "Petey the Don't-Sue-People Panda". Robert Smith of the Cure had a guest appearance as a super hero able to stop Mecha-Streisand. Korn had a guest appearance where they acted like incredibly nice Scooby-Doo expies. They subverted this trope by exchanging their usual style◊ for clean cut track suits. Inverted in "South Park is Gay," where all the men latch on to the metrosexual craze to become Camp Gay stereotypes aside from remaining heterosexual. The expected Aesop was one of tolerance and not following fads. The actual resolution was that metrosexuality was a way of "wussing down" the human male so crab people could conquer the now "unmanly" human race. Satan looks like a massive red demon in a loin cloth. In most episodes he's a completely ineffectual Harmless Villain whose gender issues and relationship problems with Saddam Hussein and a very wimpy man named Chris are played for laughs. Saddam was the real evil force behind Hell in the movie. On rare occasions, Satan breaks character and actually does start acting like an evil Big Bad. In his first appearance he was genuinely a big, buff, scary-looking Manipulative Bastard who challenged Jesus to a boxing match and deliberately lost so he could win all the gambling money. Later appearances made him more of a pansy. Butters tries to do this with his super-villain persona, Professor Chaos, but he's much too nice to possibly be a real villain. Dougie, as General Disarray, is a little more menacing, but not much. Despite this, adults actually react to his harmless schemes as if he really were about to destroy the earth. Kenny and Cartman both take on the role of The Cowl in "The Coon" and the Mysterion Rises three-episode miniseries. Kenny acts truly heroically in both, reveling in this trope. Cartman dives straight into evil. Finally, in "Child Abduction is Not Funny," a group of Mongolian warriors turn out to be benevolent pranksters who care for children and teach good family values. They look like they're ready to help Temujin come back to power. |

Cyberpunk 2077: Misty is a dark-looking Goth, who wears sinister-looking makeup and a collar with heavy spikes as daily-wear. She is also the owner and proprietor of a new-age store, laments the lack of attention the people of Night City pay to their well-being and spiritual health, and is by and large the sweetest and most nurturing character in the cast. | |
