Character AlignmentLawful Good | Neutral Good | Chaotic GoodLawful Neutral | True Neutral | Chaotic NeutralLawful Evil | Neutral Evil | Chaotic Evil


The Character Alignment combining the concepts of Order and Goodness.
Lawful Good characters believe that laws exist to further the public good, and that fairness and equality before the law are necessary for good to truly exist. Order is a vital part of good, not for its own end, but because when people act arbitrarily, they will often harm each other, intentionally or unintentionally. To a lawful good character, no one is above the rules, not even themselves.
Along with order, justice is a very important concept to lawful good characters in every sense of the word. All people have to be treated justly, be it being justly rewarded for their services, punished for their ill deeds (and only to the appropriate amount), or being protected from harm. Depending on the interpretation, a Lawful Good person may weigh their mission more towards defending the weak, or more in punishing the wicked to deter future harm.
A Lawful Good character believes in the goodness inherent in all beings, in a code of conduct—be it a personal one or a set of laws—and that an ideal world comes from promoting this dualism of structure and benevolence. Differing interpretations of "good" may lead a Lawful Good character to become Lawful Stupid, as following the law to the letter, to the point where it defies basic decency and disproportionately punishes people, no longer becomes fair. A Lawful Good character typically believes that the law should serve and protect the people, and not the other way around, and that mercy should be granted to everyone, even enemies.
In most RPGs, it is compulsory for The Paladin to be Lawful Good. If they stop being Lawful Good, they run the risk of losing their powers (depending on how far they stray). Likely to take a theoretical approach to The Golden Rule, with lots of complex rules built around it to clarify how it is to be applied. Utopias tend to be composed entirely of good, honest Lawful Good citizens.
The Lawful Good alignment is often thought of as pertaining to the most blatantly good of the good guys, and is commonly stereotyped as such. Still, also Neutral Good and Chaotic Good characters can count as Incorruptible Pure Pureness. As alignments are broad categories, this is an oversimplification, but so is the opposite stereotype.
Lawful Good characters tend to come in three deliciously nice flavors:
Lawful Over Good: This type uses Good means to achieve Lawful ends. Essentially, a Lawful Neutral character that believes a morally Good society or way of life is more orderly or safer than any other, one that is perhaps less "pro-Good" than "anti-Evil" and "anti-Chaos". Though they strive to behave in a good and altruistic manner, when push comes to shove they are likely to choose to follow the rules or obey authority over sticking their own neck out to do the right thing. While they believe that law and order are ultimately more important than morality (although they may not admit it in public), they see doing good as the price to pay for this, and would ideally live in a morally upright environment than any other.
Good Over Law: This type uses Lawful means to achieve Good ends. They are altruistic and well-intentioned people who believe that following the rules and living an orderly or disciplined life is the best and most efficient way to achieve their moral goals. They differ from Neutral Good in that while the latter might follow the rules out of simple pragmatism or convenience, this type honestly believes that a structured approach is the best way to achieve righteous results, and hence are quicker to discard rules if they do not believe they serve a greater moral purpose than the other type and if doing so does not lead to manageable negative consequences.
Balance Seeker: This type seeks a balance between Lawful and Good, usually a character that struggles to differentiate between the two. They face the dilemma of To Be Lawful or Good often, and must consider the circumstances anew every time it comes up. They sincerely desire to be good, morally upstanding people but may struggle to operate outside of some kind of ruleset or structured system. They may bend or break the rules for the greater good in one moment, but feel guilty or ashamed of themselves for doing so and double down on the rules in another area of their life later on.
Characters who are Lawful Good but avoid becoming Lawful Stupid often end up being deliberately contrasted with one or more Lawful Stupid characters to show precisely what Lawful Good ought to mean (in the eyes of the authors).
Alternatively, too much weight on the "Law" side and too little on the "Good" can easily inspire a Knight Templar, though those tend to be Lawful Evil. This leads to unceasing debates over whether these people are playing the alignment "right", or whether they should belong to one of the other lawful alignments.
While the key difference between Lawful Good and Neutral Good is the belief that upholding law/honor/social mores/etc. is required to set a proper example for others; the key difference between Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral is the recognition that laws/honor/social mores/etc. exist only to protect the Greater Good, and will consider whether those strict guidelines accomplish their tasks rather than enforcing the rule for the rule's own sake.
We apologize for any confusion, but Lawful Good is not Always Lawful Good. Always Lawful Good is named for its opposite, Always Chaotic Evil, and can refer to any of the Good alignments as long as that alignment is a species-wide characteristic within a setting.

Similarly, Jonathan from Shin Megami Tensei IV is this, and is unique amongst classical Law Heroes in the sense that he's still heroic even after choosing to side with Law. Despite being a blue-blood by birth in a kingdom set in the apocalyptic 21st century, he firmly believes in equality and respect regardless of class, and despite hating demons with a passion, it isn't entirely unjustified given what they do. It's telling that he's the only Law Hero from a mainline SMT game to question the ethical nature of sacrificing himself to effectively annihilate Tokyo, and goes along with it less out of blind devotion, but because he wants a future of peace for all he cares about, effectively making him similar to Neutral Flynn.
From the same game, this incarnation of Mastema also counts. He follows a far more moderate and benevolent interpretation of God's will than the Archangels, and even sees the Chaos route as a way to learn more about the Lord by straying from His path.

André Matias in The Elite Squad. He tries to do the right thing almost all the time at the point of putting himself and his best friend in danger to give spectacles to a poor boy in The Elite Squad 1. Unfortunately, the reality of Rio de Janeiro portrayed in the movie sometimes forced him to do extreme things. Justified. If it had any other options it would be too dangerous and too unrealistic to be done specially in the way that the entire situation and state of things was exposed in the movie. After all, even an Anti-Hero can be Lawful Good.

Adventure Time: Princess Bubblegum. Fun game: take a drink every time she says that "according to Candy Kingdom law" or "according to the Candy Kingdom-[other country] treaty" the heroes can't accomplish their goals in the most expedient fashion available... even when that law or treaty is presumably something she made up herself and could change just as easily. Would verge on Lawful Stupid, except that she always manages to Take a Third Option and accomplish her goals without breaking the letter of the law. Later episodes (especially in the fifth and sixth seasons) begin to deconstruct this. Princess Bubblegum loves the Candy people and will do anything to protect them. Unfortunately, this love is spread out... somewhat thinly and she clearly believes that only she can decide what's best for her sweet citizens. (Not that they're really capable of independence...) Added to this is her willingness to screw over other kingdoms and people (especially the Fire Kingdom) if there's even a small chance this will protect/benefit the candy people, and her being Lawful more often than Good pushes her closer towards being a Moral Sociopathic Hero than you would initially think...

A Lawful Good character alignment is possible in the sandbox game inFAMOUS, and whether the player chooses to be Lawful Good or Chaotic Evil has a major influence on game play. If the player chooses to play the role of the hero, then he helps the police restore order to the city, gains powers exclusive to the heroic end of the spectrum, and is generally loved by the people, to the extent that they eventually plaster the city with posters of him standing triumphant and heroic, holding a lightning bolt.

Yeon Ehwa from Tower of God is a bit immature, but she at least grows towards Lawful Good. When she's shown that her family was involved in dishonest dealings, she's shocked at first but then resolves to gain power to right such wrongs — taking on responsibility for changing the system while never questioning that she'd work within it.

The core attribute of the Heralds of Valdemar as an organization (individual Heralds are often Neutral Good or Chaotic Good, however). The Kingdom of Valdemar is very strongly lawful, but also absolutely committed to benevolence. One of their core axioms, especially as regards religion, is "There is no One True Way". The primary function of the Companions is to help prevent any drift into Lawful Stupid and they have been pretty successful at it for centuries. The Heralds themselves, while not Paladins in the classic sense, often behave in a similar manner. More recently, the formerly villainous nation of Karse has also been dragged back in this direction by their Lawful Good god, who got fed up with his worshipers and needed them to get back into shape on a tight timetable due to an impending disaster.

Samurai Jack combines a burning urge to do good with a deep respect for traditions and a desire to help others. This is pretty much the reason his goal of returning to the past has yet to be fulfilled until he finally did — he refuses to take advantage of the possibilities he's found to do so when someone in need of help is in his midst.

The Mighty Thor:
Balder the Brave is Asgard's resident Knight in Shining Armor and one of the most loyal warriors of Odin and the most noble and chivalrous of Thor's supporting characters.
The Mighty Thor himself mostly falls into this alignment, being the good-hearted guardian of Earth and Asgard, honorable and dutiful. His occasional disagreements with Odin might come from Odin being a sort of manipulative Neutral Good at times. This is in contrast with Thor's more hot-blooded and comedic Marvel Cinematic Universe depiction, where he is more Chaotic Good.

Nova: Richard Rider, the premier member of the Nova Corps (Marvel's answer to the Green Lantern Corps), is so much of a boy scout he seems like he fell straight from the Silver Age. His recently-ended series went from one big scene to another, with Richard refusing to compromise doing the right thing for any reason. The guy even chooses to stay behind on a doomed planet to make sure that everyone escapes before Galactus eats it, even if it means he would have to fight an impossible battle against Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer. He's also a good example of lawful good doesn't mean lawful nice as he will rip your insides out if you piss him off as Annihilus found out the hard way.
Interestingly enough, when Richard Rider was a member of the New Warriors in th 1990s, he was impulsive and often was the member of the team that most rebelled against Night Thrasher's leadership, making an excellent case for Chaotic Good.

X-Men:
Empress Lilandra Neramani, as opposed to her Chaotic Evil or Neutral Evil siblings D'Ken and Deathbyrd. She is pretty much the only recurring Shi'ar character who is openly altruistic and supportive towards Earth's heroes but will always put the laws and safety of her empire above all else, even if it puts her in conflict with the X-Men. Her former bodyguard and current emperor, Gladiator, switches between this alignment and Lawful Neutral or Lawful Stupid, Depending on the Writer.
This was original alignment of Cyclops, as well especially when he was butting heads with Wolverine. Around the early 2010s, however, he started slipping...

The Spectre: While his methods are extreme, the Spectre's purpose is to punish evil in all its forms in accordance with the will of the Almighty. However, the angel who makes up half the entity, Aztar, is too Lawful Neutral and is not very good at judging criminals reasonably—he'll deal out the same horrific punishment to a jaywalker as would seem more appropriate for a serial killer. He needs to be bound to more Good-aligned hosts to create the Lawful Good being known as the Spectre, who is able to properly judge the wicked.

Not too surprisingly given his nickname, Paladin from Have Gun – Will Travel is a quite good example of this alignment. A major purpose of his Bounty Hunter role is to avoid unneeded violence, which includes a hatred of vigilantism and an unwillingness to kill in any situation except absolute necessity. He's more of the good-over-law type of this, since in most situations, he will follow through with what he was hired for/keep any promise he makes. In some instances, his employer turned out to be the villain, and he therefore changed allegiance to their victim.

In the Fire Emblem series:
In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, we have Perceval and Douglas, high-ranked military leaders of Etruria with lots of responsibility who are very loyal to a king who's a good person, but has his will overridden by treacherous advisors after falling into despair due to the death of his son and heir. They're balanced by their fellow leader Cecilia and the high-ranked sniper Klein, who fall more into Neutral Good.
In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade:
Eliwood starts as this, then settles slowly but surely into Neutral Good.
Hector's Lancer Oswin and Eliwood's retainer Marcus remain mostly Lawful Good, with Oswin even reaching the extreme of hiding Uther's upcoming death from Hector despite the inner conflicts it brings him, since Uther had asked him to do so.
Fiora, the eldest of the three Pegasus Knight sisters (balancing Farina's Chaotic Good and Florina's Neutral Good). She's very kind and gentle, but she also seems to believe that Eliwood's interest in her can't be reciprocated due to her being a mercenary from Ilia, and discusses possible separation by gender with Kent to avoid emotional attachments until the end of the war.
In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the following fall into this alignment: Sigrun, Tanith, Geoffery, Bastian, Lucia, Kieran, Oscar, Titania, Lethe, Mordecai, Kyza, Janaff, and Ulki, who gain this status by being loyal, upright servants of solidly good authority figures. The healers and characters with the "Spirit of Order," qualify as well; Rhys, Laura, Mist, Sanaki, and the three Herons.
Fire Emblem Fates
Corrin/The Avatar is Lawful Good by default, strongly valuing ideals such as peace, justice and compassion. Interestingly for a Lawful Good protagonist, what part of the alignment s/he prioritizes more depends on which route s/he takes; in Birthright, s/he's more Good than Lawful, deciding to rebel against a tyrannical king. In Conquest, s/he's more Lawful than Good, choosing to attempt to reform Nohr than destroy it. In Revelations, s/he balances both of these alignments rather nicely.
Xander and Ryoma also qualify. Both are just, honorable leaders of their country who value peace and justice hand-in-hand, though similarly to the Avatar, Xander is more Lawful than Good, while Ryoma is more Good than Lawful.
Arthur is also definitely this. Being a self-styled "hero of justice", Arthur is an exceptionally kind and heroic young man, valuing peace and happiness above all else. Unlike most examples of The Paladin, however, he is not Lawful Stupid; he averts it enough that he lies to a bunch of Nohrian knights so that Azura as a child doesn't have to be punished, taking the consequences instead.
Dimitri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a deconstruction of this alignment, as he has a strong sense of justice with virtues of chivalry and honor. At the same time, however, he also has to battle his own inner demons due to him being a Sole Survivor of Tragedy of Duscur and dealing with his own Sanity Slippage. Post-timeskip, he ends up degenerating into Chaotic Neutral, as he still maintains his belief that the innocent should be protected from evil and still wants to protect the Church of Seiros, but his mental state is driven by hatred to the point that he commits brutal atrocities in order to exact his revenge on Edelgard. However, he rebounds back into Lawful good again on the Azure Moon route.

Tony Stark himself ends up somewhere around here, after a rollercoaster ride around the alignment spectrum following Avengers: Age of Ultron. Avengers: Endgame sees him more emotionally settled than he's ever been with a family he's devoted to, and a honest reluctance to challenge the new status quo. He nonetheless joins the plan to reverse the Snap out of sheer duty, and ends up sacrificing himself without much hesitation to save everyone else.

Bloodhound from Apex Legends is an honorable hunter with a deep conviction towards their people, and their homeland. Despite what has to be done, Bloodhound kills in the name of their ancestors and the Old Ways. Bloodhound takes no thanks nor gratitude for their victories, believing their gods are owed in their triumphs. This makes them seem unselfish but conflicted about the actions, of less moralistic characters.

Lyrical Nanoha:
Fate T. Harlaown works for an inter-dimensional police force, always attacks to subdue, and will go beyond her duty to save anyone that requires saving, even those that others consider as non-human. She also has a tendency to take in orphaned children and give them loving homes. Many of her lines literally scream Lawful Good.
Her brother Chrono has a fairly stoic personality and tends to be by-the-book in most regards, but underneath his blunt demeanor, he cares deeply for others and seeks the best possible outcome while upholding the law.
After she joins the TSAB, Signum turns out to be very much like Chrono in this regard. In StrikerS, she is temporarily placed under Fate's command, and the two get along splendidly, both professionally and personally, despite having been enemies previously.

In the Shin Megami Tensei video games, the Law faction as a whole is headed by a Jerkass variation of God with the angels being hardly better, so'd you'd think they would be a textbook example of Always Lawful Evil. But given the moral ambiguity of the series, there's more than a fair share of heroic Law-aligned characters.
Amane and Remiel from Devil Survivor are pretty blatant examples of this. Despite aligning with YHVH, both of them genuinely care for humanity, and really do want to create world of peace and justice for all. And in the remake, if the player so desires, they have the honor of partaking in the first unambiguously heroic Law Ending in the series.
The Protagonist also fits this alignment on Amane's 8th day. While he seeks peace through worship of the Lord, he also prefers to redeem sinners rather than kill them outright and is generally more moderate than the Lawful Neutral angels.
Despite his flaws and the Irony associated with a rebellious Law Hero, Ronaldo Kuriki is firmly in this camp. He's fighting against Yamato Hotsuin for very noble reasons (i.e., he absolutely refuses to accept a world of meritocracy, and genuinely wants everybody to have an equal chance) and is overall a pretty Nice Guy. That said, he doesn't exactly take losing to the Chaos faction all too well, but given what they advocate for, is it really unjustified?
Similarly, Jonathan from Shin Megami Tensei IV is this, and is unique amongst classical Law Heroes in the sense that he's still heroic even after choosing to side with Law. Despite being a blue-blood by birth in a kingdom set in the apocalyptic 21st century, he firmly believes in equality and respect regardless of class, and despite hating demons with a passion, it isn't entirely unjustified given what they do. It's telling that he's the only Law Hero from a mainline SMT game to question the ethical nature of sacrificing himself to effectively annihilate Tokyo, and goes along with it less out of blind devotion, but because he wants a future of peace for all he cares about, effectively making him similar to Neutral Flynn.
From the same game, this incarnation of Mastema also counts. He follows a far more moderate and benevolent interpretation of God's will than the Archangels, and even sees the Chaos route as a way to learn more about the Lord by straying from His path.
In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, this happens in the extended Law ending. Alex explains that anyone who isn't arbitrarily chosen by God is mercilessly slaughtered and convinces Zelenin to create a world where all humans can have peace and harmony by using her song to remove the human drive towards competition. Zelenin has her faith in humanity restored, and even turns against Mastema and the Three Wise Men to create a world of Law in her own way.
Really, it's possible to interpret any Lawful protagonist as this. Given the Grey-and-Gray Morality of the games and the fact that there's a good reason to side with any of the factions, it isn't an entirely outlandish concept to see a Lawful protagonist as a Well-Intentioned Extremist.

Leeron of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann becomes this after the time skip, working within the frameworks and rules set up by Rossiu to develop new technology and spacecraft. Rossiu tries to be this, but is less on the good side than he thought and only becomes this alignment after he's punched in the face by Chaotic Good Simon after trying to commit suicide when realizing how wrong he was. In the far finale, we see him as a benevolent president, proving he turned out a true Lawful Good individual after all.

The Third Hokage of Naruto enforces his village's laws fairly, but considers the villagers like his family and thinks of them first. Rock Lee is like this to some degree, typically being kind and honorable, and following Guy's orders to the letter, despite some Leeroy Jenkins moments. Sakura mostly follows this alignment, typically obeying orders and rules and trying to do the right thing, but occasionally covertly acts on her own (for example, sneaking out of the village during the timeskip to research the Akatsuki). Also, in the time between his defeat at Naruto's hands and the Timeskip, Gaara goes from Chaotic Evil all the way to Lawful Good, wanting to be accepted and protect the people of his village. At the Summit of the Five Kages, he comes off as less concerned about politics and more concerned about doing the right thing.

Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star lives his life by the code of his martial arts school and unfailingly fights tyranny and helps people in need because he considers it the duty of the strong to help the weak. But if you dare to prey upon or visit suffering upon the innocent trying to survive in this post-apocalyptic hell, like so many gangs and evil warlords do in this series, Ken will explode your body from the inside, making him an almost textbook example of a hard-liner, uncompromising and utterly awesome Lawful Good so much that he's often cited as an example for this alignment.

From Harry Potter:
The Hufflepuff House fits this to a tee. Their core values are loyalty, friendship, and fairness.
Hermione starts off as this, but becomes more Neutral Good with time.
Kingsley Shacklebolt is also this for the most part, as he uses his position within the Ministry of Magic to help the Order of the Phoenix. Rufus Scrimgoeur is a clearer example. He believes very strongly in the Ministry and is occasionally distrusting of Neutral Good Harry and Chaotic Good Dumbledore, but unlike Fudge, he clearly sees Voldemort and his minions as a problem and uses his position to fight the Death Eaters to the best of his ability — often going a little too far, in fact.

Turk from Scrubs is a bit of a slacker with a frat boy personality in his personal life, but as a surgeon he is an absolute stickler for the rules and puts procedure ahead of compassion, making him a solid example in contrast to the Neutral Good JD and Elliot, and the Chaotic Good Doctor Cox. For instance, he once denied a liver transplant to a man who had been on the transplant list for almost ten years since he drank alcohol at his daughter's wedding. When Dr Cox confronts him for penalizing such a minor infraction, Turk maintains that with donor organs in short supply, he can't justify giving one to somebody who has demonstrated that they won't follow the rules needed to be approved for one.

Calvin and Hobbes:
Susie Derkins is a model student who plays by the rules and would be nice to everyone if Calvin didn't drive her crazy.
When Calvin clones only his good side to get someone to do schoolwork and other duties for him, the clone is a similar goody two-shoes as Susie. In fact, he starts to openly display Calvin's hidden attraction to Susie. She can only take it as sarcasm, causing the clone to finally get fed up with Calvin too — and vanish in a Puff of Logic for having mean thoughts when he was supposed to be completely good.

From The Dresden Files, we have two sides of the Lawful Good coin, the somewhat disillusioned cop Karrin Murphy who takes her oath to serve and protect the population of Chicago very seriously, and the honest-to-God holy-sword wielding paladin Michael Carpenter.
The Archangel Uriel is lawful good, but never goes against law since violating the law would make him Fall. He also tends to follow a higher form of "good" in respect for free will. But he is rather good at getting around the rules to be good.

Most of the crew of Cowboy Bebop seem to be somewhere on the Chaotic spectrum, but Jet Black, the ship's owner, is a fairly realistic (if cynical) portrayal of Lawful Good. Dedicated, in his own way, to the pursuit of law and justice (the reason why he became a bounty hunter after quitting the force), he was known as an exemplary example of an honest cop during his days as the Black Dog of Ganymede.

Discworld:
Carrot Ironfoundersson embodies this trope with every fiber of his being; treating the law as gospel and implicitly believing that nobody is above it. Thanks to his almost supernatural charisma, everyone around him ends up self-consciously slipping this way too, which is a sight to see in the Wretched Hive of Ankh-Morpork.
As a prime example of how Character Alignment is only part of character, rather than the whole of it, Samuel Vimes is also Lawful Good, albeit of a very different sort than Carrot's. Despite being arguably the most cynical and misanthropic bastard in the series, Samuel Vimes is also one of the most moral. The law is the rock to which Vimes clings in a world that makes no sense to him — when a million-year old supernatural thing of vengeance possessed him, he kicked it out of his mind by creating the Guarding Dark, an entity of pure Heroic Willpower and Lawful good. He does things by the book (well, mostly) and gives people their due process.
And when he does "bend" (or ignore) the law, it's because he believes the point of the law is to protect people, even in situations allowed by current law: Snuff has him arrest someone involved in enslaving goblins, despite the fact that the law doesn't consider them legally equal to most other races on the Disc, because they're people in his mind. Vetinari has the slaver marked to be assassinated, but that's because one goblin proved to be an amazing musician; otherwise he wouldn't have cared, and would have let Vimes deal with the political fallout. This is partially why Vimes is Lawful Good...
The Librarian is another example of a Lawful Good Discworld character. The fact that he knows when to exploit the loophole that apes are seldom mentioned in Lawful codes of behavior, or to fudge the rules of the Librarians of Time and Space for a good cause, is one of the reasons he's the most popular member of the UU faculty.

Larsa Solidor of Final Fantasy XII is a deeply-idealistic Lawful Good: throughout the game, he strives to bring about peace through diplomacy rather than intimidation and subterfuge. This of course stands in stark contrast to his elder brother's Lawful Evil.

Nicholas Angel from Hot Fuzz embodies this trope as a By-the-Book Cop in peak physical and mental condition who is thoroughly dedicated to the pursuit of being the best policeman he can be, even to his own personal detriment, and is not afraid of busting a conspiracy wide open with all necessary (but not excessive) force - he is also not afraid of the small mountain of paperwork that will be necessary afterwards. His Lawful Good qualities are thrown into even sharper relief by the real villains of the movie - a shadowy cabal of Lawful Evil Knight Templars led by his superior officer who have gaslit their community into believing that Sanford is a utopia when it is in fact built on the murder of dozens of people guilty of relatively minor infractions.

Shay Cormac from Assassin's Creed Rogue is staunchly this, believe it or not. Shay initially followed the Colonial Assassins, believing they where doing good for the young Canadian regions. But that all changed, following the events of the Lisbon Earthquake that he was deceived into starting. The Assassins were very clearly in the wrong, and did nothing to convince Shay otherwise. This led to his betrayal and defecting to the Templars, who were the lesser evil at the time. Shay only joined his former archenemies, because they sort rightful ways towards order, particularly with Colonel Monro who he got along well with. Later, Haytham taught Shay that sometimes ruthlessness is necessary towards their goals, something both thoroughly would practice, for the greater good.

Archangel Gabriel from Samaria is known to be the most compassionate and honorable of all angels, with a firm sense of right and wrong, hatred of the institution of slavery that the Archangel Raphael imposed on Samaria, and unshakable faith in the god Jovah and his decrees. He's willing to tolerate the existence of slavery only because the corrupt Raphael is the Archangel, and that for only twenty years; he knows that once it's his turn in the hot seat, he will be able to make some changes and enforce them by flood, wind and drought. He's not very nice about it, however, and doesn't really take anyone else's opinion into account — a trait which Jovah attempts to correct by arranging his marriage to Rachel.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars has Captain Rex. He's an upstanding soldier who values his duty to the Republic just as much as he values the lives of his clone brethren. It's best shown during the Umbara arc where he openly questions General Pong Krell's ruthless orders that get his men killed and stands up for the soldiers who go on an unauthorized mission behind enemy lines, but doesn't cross the line into outright rebellion and mutiny until it becomes unquestionable that Krell is a traitor who is actively orchestrating the murder of his own soldiers.

Eve Dallas from In Death tends toward the Lawful Good side, as a way of dealing with her Dark and Troubled Past. She considers her duty of "standing for the dead" as sacred, no matter the victim. Her husband Roarke tends more towards the chaotic, considering justice to be separate and distinct from the law, as best illustrated when he hunts down and kills the murderers of Summerset's daughter.).

Green Lantern: Readers more familiar with Hal Jordan's more Chaotic Good-ish modern persona often forget that for many years he was solidly Lawful Good, emphasis on the Lawful. This was especially true during the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series, with the very Chaotic Good Oliver Queen representing the 60s Counter-Culture and Hal representing the Establishment. John Stewart is more of the militantly law-before-good type. The Green Lanterns in general fit this, considering they're space cops.

The Order of the Stick:
Roy Greenhilt is explicitly stated to be Lawful Good, because his is a D&D-run continuity. In fact, when he was judged by a being of pure Law and Good, she makes particular note of his failings — his tendency to use Chaotic means to achieve Lawful ends, his occasional disrespect for local ordinances in favor of a more familiar set of rules, and most especially his association with Chaotic Evil Belkar. In the end she judged that he was Lawful Good because he kept trying to be. He's human, after all, and it's unreasonable to expect him to live up to the standards of Pure Law and Good perfectly. A perfect example of Roy's alignment was dealing with orcs in On the Origin of PCs; he negotiated a peaceful solution (they were there to get early seat tickets for a heavy metal band) rather than just kill them, even though said orcs were evil and technically could be killed without alignment shift.
Miko Miyazaki, meanwhile, is also Lawful Good — she being a paladin, it's the only possible option. However, she downplays the "Good" part about as much as possible while still following the strict requirements for a paladin. It's all about judging people and following rules for her, with compassion toned down to a minimum. She's rather quick to pigeonhole people everyone who doesn't conform to her black and white standards as being part of some great Evil conspiracy only she can stop. This view continues unabated until (and, indeed, even after) she finally pushes herself into unambiguously non-Good territory and falls from Paladinhood.
Durkon the dwarven cleric also, by all means and actions, comes off as Lawful Good, with a near-obsessive dedication to the way of Dwarven life (despite eventually fitting in quite well with humans) but also dedicated to his friends and allies, and often functioning as the moral compass of the team when even Roy has doubts. His deity of choice, Thor, is Chaotic Good, which would be odd except for the fact that dwarves don't seem to have much choice in terms of gods. Roy's aforementioned dealing with the heavy metal orcs convinced Durkon that Roy was truly lawful good and became the start of their friendship.
Of course, all the Sapphire Guard paladins are Lawful Good by default (except the above example), while each in their own small way averts the Lawful Stupid tendencies paladins are often stuck with. Special mention must go to the righteously badass O-Chul, who's transcended goodness completely and ascended into Lawful Awesome, and is the series' version of Captain America. Author Rich Burlew specifically stated that he intended to portray O-Chul as everything good about the paladin, and Miko Miyazaki to be a demonstration of the wrong way to go about it.
Additionally, playgrounder Zrak wrote a handy guide for Lawful Good, To March Into Hell for a Heavenly Cause: A Lawful Good Handbook, that's designed to help players come up with their own ways of playing LG without falling into Lawful Stupid.

From Persona 4, we have Ryotaro Dojima. He's an honest cop working the beat in Inaba, and he manages to prove his Lawful Good cred when he sits down and realizes there are inconsistencies with the possibility of Taro Namatame being the killer despite having every reason by this point to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after Nanako is abducted and temporarily killed. After learning the killer's identity, he even gives medical assistance to Tohru Adachi and remains friends with him after he is imprisoned.

From Xanth we have Trent, at least after his banishment. He considers his word to be his bond no matter how personally inconvenient, never harms anyone unless absolutely necessary, and rules as a benevolent monarch. Most Xanth protagonists arguably have this as their alignment, with only occasional Chaotic examples like Metria. They are typically very noble, honest, kind, and will keep their word no matter what. In fact, their adherance to keeping bargains has caused a couple of them to verge on Lawful Stupid territory. The most notable example is probably Grey Murphy, who found himself bound to serve the evil Reality Warper Com Pewter simply because of a vow his parents made. And he was going to go through with it! Some comments from the author have suggested this is actually what he believes is right.

Warcraft:
Uther Lightbringer, the quintessential paladin of the Warcraft universe.
And, to balance things out, Thrall◊, the creator of the modern (Chaotic Good) Horde. He's a brilliant strategist, a fairly good diplomat and politician and, above all else, a very strict traditionalist.

Arthas Menethil and Sylvanas Windrunner start out as this in Warcraft 3 (the former a Paladin, the latter a noble, if rather vain, defender of her homeland. Unfortunately, this doesn't last long, as Frostmourne steals Arthas' soul and pretty much turns him into a Chaotic Evil sociopath incapable of feeling compassion or remorse. After he kills Sylvanas he turns her into his undead slave and forces her to help carry out his evil plans, and even once she breaks free it's clear she will never be the same again.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Prior to the Overdress era, Lawful Good was pretty much the whole identity of Royal Paladin and Gold Paladin, paragons of virtue and slayers of evil who win with the power of friendship that they are. However, special mention goes to Bastion, because he lives in an era that's coming out of a 3000-year dark age where their nation expects them to lean more on the Lawful Neutral side. He does display some of those tendencies, as he'll never disobey a direct order and in his own words "The Law is Absolute", but he clearly feels conflicted on some level when given an order that is actively detrimental to the common good. It might be more accurate that his lawful neutral tendencies come from a misguided belief that upholding the law and upholding the common good are one and the same.

Chief Aramaki from Ghost in the Shell knows that his position includes many duties and limitations he does not like, but follows without protest. He does however try everything within his limited power to protect his team from political intrigue and prevent the harming of innocent people for the personal interest of his superiors.
Togusa is also lawful good, but being the eternal new guy, still lacks the understanding that quite often both taking the law in your own hands and letting criminals go free does the most good in the long run.

Detective Claudette Wyms from The Shield. Illustrated perfectly when she discovers that a recently-deceased public defender had been abusing prescription drugs for the last several years, and therefore some of her clients may not have received adequate legal counsel. Despite abuse from her coworkers and pressure from her superiors, she went on a self-appointed crusade to investigate the matter. Despite the fact that countless convictions would be overturned as a result of her investigation, she pressed on due to the possibility that innocent people had been sent to prison. In retaliation, the Chief of Police passed her up for a promotion that she had previously been all but guaranteed.

In Dragon Age: Origins, there is Wynne, a Circle Mage who strongly believes in both good and justice and also holds that the rules and laws of both the Circle Tower and the Chantry are necessary to control the dangerous power of mages.
Also, Alistair is a Knight in Sour Armor version of this. No matter how much he personally disapproves of the Grey Warden's actions, he will follow you to the ends of the earth because you need to work together to save the world from the Blight. The only thing that will make him desert you is sparing Loghain Mac Tir at the Landsmeet.
The Spirit of Justice in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is, as the name implies, a Fade spirit who aspires to the ideal of Justice, and is physically incapable of being anything but Lawful Good .
Aveline from Dragon Age II is another example; as a guardswoman she always tries to use the law to make people's lives in Kirkwall better, and she'll speak up if Hawke acts particularly chaotically or callously. It takes something pretty horrific (like a Serial Killer preying on elf girls human society doesn't care about) for her to condone outright execution.

Amara in Codex Alera is an unfailingly lawful individual, who honors her word, possesses Undying Loyalty to her liege and the Realm of Alera note Until the events of Captain's Fury, where Gaius doesn't so much Shoot the Dog as erupt a volcano underneath it, and exceptionally just and kind, to the point where upon learning an enemy spy's daughter is being held hostage by said spy's ruler, Amara immediately offers to help rescue the child, on the grounds that it is the right thing to do. Making this especially interesting is that Amara is a Cursor (read: spy and assassin) but manages to prove that one can be such while still remaining Lawful Good.

In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, we have Perceval and Douglas, high-ranked military leaders of Etruria with lots of responsibility who are very loyal to a king who's a good person, but has his will overridden by treacherous advisors after falling into despair due to the death of his son and heir. They're balanced by their fellow leader Cecilia and the high-ranked sniper Klein, who fall more into Neutral Good.

Captain America is the clear standardbearer of this trope for the MCU, as he is unquestioningly dedicated in his quest to defeat evil, defend his country, and save the world. His later films do pose the To Be Lawful or Good conundrum, when he has to fight corrupt elements within his own government and later an international bureaucratic coalition seeking to limit his autonomy.

Fire Emblem Fates
Corrin/The Avatar is Lawful Good by default, strongly valuing ideals such as peace, justice and compassion. Interestingly for a Lawful Good protagonist, what part of the alignment s/he prioritizes more depends on which route s/he takes; in Birthright, s/he's more Good than Lawful, deciding to rebel against a tyrannical king. In Conquest, s/he's more Lawful than Good, choosing to attempt to reform Nohr than destroy it. In Revelations, s/he balances both of these alignments rather nicely.
Xander and Ryoma also qualify. Both are just, honorable leaders of their country who value peace and justice hand-in-hand, though similarly to the Avatar, Xander is more Lawful than Good, while Ryoma is more Good than Lawful.
Arthur is also definitely this. Being a self-styled "hero of justice", Arthur is an exceptionally kind and heroic young man, valuing peace and happiness above all else. Unlike most examples of The Paladin, however, he is not Lawful Stupid; he averts it enough that he lies to a bunch of Nohrian knights so that Azura as a child doesn't have to be punished, taking the consequences instead.

Pathfinder:
Lawful Good outsiders include the archons, dutiful, benevolent and honorable but also strict and judgmental; and the manasaputras, natives of the positive energy plane who seek to foster the developments of mortal species towards civilization and enlightenment.
Paladins also have to be Lawful Good, but are almost always the second type (good over law).

Most of the characters in the Hagane-Hiryuu team in Super Robot Wars Original Generation are mostly Lawful Good. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so easily forgiving to almost every villains they come across. Except to those who are completely too stubborn and irredeemable.

Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke. He always pleads with his enemies to stop attacking, but never hesitates to kill to save innocent people. He takes neither side in conflict between the people of the Ironworks and the spirits of the forest, and instead tries everything he can to prevent any further violence, while never compromising or backing away from what he thinks is the right thing to do.

Captain America is the clear standardbearer of this trope for the MCU, as he is unquestioningly dedicated in his quest to defeat evil, defend his country, and save the world. His later films do pose the To Be Lawful or Good conundrum, when he has to fight corrupt elements within his own government and later an international bureaucratic coalition seeking to limit his autonomy.
Karl Mordo of Doctor Strange (2016) is a very firm believer in respecting the natural order of things and that they shouldn't be tampered with. This leads to a Broken Pedestal moment and a flirt with Lawful Stupid when he learns the Ancient One used the powers of the Dark Dimension to extend her lifespan and Dr. Strange using the Eye of Agamotto to stop Dormammu by violating the rules about time manipulation. He ends up leaving the order as he can't accept the idea of compromising the rules for the greater good. This ends up setting him on the path to Lawful Evil by deciding the best way to stop sorcerers from messing with the laws of the universe is to get rid of the sorcerers.
War Machine is a mostly clear-cut example, being an Air Force Colonel-turned-superhero. He often is responsible for trying to reign in Iron Man's more Chaotic Good approach, and later on is one of the strongest supporters for the Sokovia Accords.
Tony Stark himself ends up somewhere around here, after a rollercoaster ride around the alignment spectrum following Avengers: Age of Ultron. Avengers: Endgame sees him more emotionally settled than he's ever been with a family he's devoted to, and a honest reluctance to challenge the new status quo. He nonetheless joins the plan to reverse the Snap out of sheer duty, and ends up sacrificing himself without much hesitation to save everyone else.

Dalinar Kholin of The Stormlight Archive is a Lawful Good aristocrat in a society where almost all aristocrats are corrupt and self serving. He follows the ancient Codes of leadership which have otherwise been forgotten and ultimately gives up his (extremely valuable) magic sword in order to buy the freedom of a bunch of slaves because he'd promised he'd free them.

Games based on the Dungeons & Dragons system naturally have characters whose alignments are right there for you to see. Such as...
Aerie, a naive young elven spellcaster who's compassionate to anyone in need and whose timid exterior hides a determination to fight against injustice. (Baldur's Gate II.)
Ajantis Ilvstarr, the youthful, idealistic but somewhat unstable paladin. (Baldur's Gate.)
Dynaheir, an honest, forthright, and scrupulously moral wizard from a nation where spellcasters like her are expected to become leaders one day. (Baldur's Gate.)
Rasaad yn Bashir, a kind and good-hearted monk concerned with justice and proper conduct.(Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.)
Keldorn, the aged veteran paladin who generally has much wisdom and compassion, but can be confused about what to do when questions of ethics morality affect him directly. (Baldur's Gate II.)
Mazzy Fentan, a fierce and honorable halfling warrior, paladin in all but name. (Baldur's Gate II.)
Yeslick Orothiar, a dwarven warrior-priest. Surprisingly laid-back for a Lawful Good character who was, until you rescued him, a slave in his own family's ancestral mine. (Baldur's Gate.)
Anomen, a Fighter/Cleric squire, starts out as a Lawful Neutral Jerkass with dreams of knighthood. If you help him do the right and lawful thing in his Personal Quest, he will pass his test of knighthood with flying colors and become Lawful Good. His improved character is reflected in his stats by a +4 bonus to Wisdom. Otherwise, he will fail his test and become Chaotic Neutral, having lost his purpose in life. (Baldur's Gate II.)
Balthazar, the hidden Token Good Teammate of the Five is a dark example. The Lawful part comes with being a Monk and the Good comes with him actually wanting to prevent Bhaal's ressurection, but he's such a Well-Intentioned Extremist about it that he becomes a Anti-Villain and must be stopped. (Baldur's Gate II.)
Casavir, a paladin who left the service of Neverwinter to serve what he thought was "the greater good". (Neverwinter Nights 2)
Khelgar Ironfist, a drunken brawler who likes a fight too much starts out Chaotic Good, but can be encouraged through Character Development to obtain enlightenment as a monk and becomes this. (Neverwinter Nights 2)
Ekundayo, a stoic ranger who hunts trolls and other beasts for revenge and to keep innocents safe from their predations. During the game he decides which one of the two motivations is his main one and may change alignment as a result. (Pathfinder: Kingmaker)

The healers and characters with the "Spirit of Order," qualify as well; Rhys, Laura, Mist, Sanaki, and the three Herons.

Halo: The Master Chief and the other Spartans. While Chief and his fellow IIs started off as Lawful Neutral in their morally nebulous beginnings, their trainer taught them about honor, and Halsey taught them of the value of each and every life. Even before training was complete, the Chief showed exceptional care for the people under his command, and is willing to put himself at risk so no one else has to. After Halo 4, he starts veering more towards Neutral Good, becoming more willing to disobey orders if he thinks he has a better way to do good.

Forgotten Realms has the triad of Tyr, Torm and Illmater. Tyr represents justice and law, but filtered through wisdom and compassion. He represents not only the idea that following law and order is the right thing to do, but also that the law and order upheld must be just and worth upholding. Torm represents the duty and conviction to fight evil and uphold goodly order. He's essentially the martial side to Tyr's doctrine. Illmater is less concerned with the law side of things and is more concerned with helping the less fortunate and alleviate their suffering. Within the context of the triad he is the compassion that balances out Tyr's strictness and Torm's martial tendencies.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade:
Eliwood starts as this, then settles slowly but surely into Neutral Good.
Hector's Lancer Oswin and Eliwood's retainer Marcus remain mostly Lawful Good, with Oswin even reaching the extreme of hiding Uther's upcoming death from Hector despite the inner conflicts it brings him, since Uther had asked him to do so.
Fiora, the eldest of the three Pegasus Knight sisters (balancing Farina's Chaotic Good and Florina's Neutral Good). She's very kind and gentle, but she also seems to believe that Eliwood's interest in her can't be reciprocated due to her being a mercenary from Ilia, and discusses possible separation by gender with Kent to avoid emotional attachments until the end of the war.

Mass Effect: Legion is probably the strongest example in the game, despite being from the once thought to be Always Chaotic Evil Geth. When making choices he always refers back to a code of rules, such as making sure his programs reach mutual consensus, and that all sentient beings have a right to freedom. While his lack of emotion would supposedly make him Lawful Neutral, his Shadow Broker Dossier reveals that he donated money to rebuilding Eden Prime, suggesting his values are closer to Good than Neutral. And then sliding back to neutral when he muses on how interesting it will be to watch Ronald Taylor's men deliver retribution.

Batman: Batman's alignment has always been contrasting as he is lawful (because he follows a strict system of laws including his own personal code that abhors killing because he believes in the value of life) but also chaotic (because he breaks the law to do so). While Batman is canonically Lawful Good (DnD canonical, not DC canonical), it’s very much Depending on the Writer what his actual alignment is.

In the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic you have several examples as well. Grand Master Satele Shan (yes, descended from the above) is the one giving players their missions and marching orders, especially on the Jedi classes. Aric Jorgan (Trooper Companion) is a bit tightly-wound, but when it seems like the Republic military is crawling with Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto Us, Lawful Stupid, traitors, and the kind of asshats who would torture a civilian just for being related to a Imperial sympathizer? Well, he responds favorably when your Trooper refuses to play into any of that.
Elara Dorne, another of the Trooper's crew, is also of this alignment; sweet woman, defected to the Republic due to her frustration with Imperial corruption, and is a stickler for doing the paperwork correctly. This conversation probably best describes her personality:
And then there's M1-4X, a combat droid with an unmatched patriotic spirit. His battle cries are things like, "For freedom!" and "Thus to all who threaten galactic liberty!" And in his spare time between missions, he hunts down big name imperial bad guys, not to put notches on his rifle, but because he thinks it's the best way to boost morale within the ranks of the Republic's troops.

Marta Cabrera, the family nurse to the Thrombeys, of Knives Out, is so noble that even when jeopardized with the possibility of being held culpable in the death of the family patriarch Harlan, she will stop to save someone else's life without a second thought, and also so honest she cannot tell a lie without vomiting.

Amane and Remiel from Devil Survivor are pretty blatant examples of this. Despite aligning with YHVH, both of them genuinely care for humanity, and really do want to create world of peace and justice for all. And in the remake, if the player so desires, they have the honor of partaking in the first unambiguously heroic Law Ending in the series.
The Protagonist also fits this alignment on Amane's 8th day. While he seeks peace through worship of the Lord, he also prefers to redeem sinners rather than kill them outright and is generally more moderate than the Lawful Neutral angels.

Some of the main characters in The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring are Lawful Good: Aragorn, who is dedicated to the good of Middle Earth and his duties as the heir to the throne of Gondor, and Boromir, as an honorable warrior dedicated to protecting his homeland and fighting evil (a desire the One Ring exploits to corrupt him) are both examples.

Adelbert Steiner of Final Fantasy IX is this almost to a fault, as his devotion to the ideals of knighthood borders on Lawful Stupid to begin with; as the game goes along he mellows out a bit. His rival and love interest Beatrix also ends up here after starting the game as Lawful Neutral; much like Cecil she's a dutiful soldier at first, who eventually rebels when the orders the ruler she serves give her become too immoral.

Gilgamesh Wulfenbach of Girl Genius seems to be leaning this way, after taking over the Empire when his father Klaus is injured, even delivering a kickass speech (and a righteous asskicking) to one of his more overzealous underlings about how tired he is of "mercy" being seen as "weakness."
At the start of his empire, Baron Klaus was, as well. He is certainly a fairly reasonable authority and when he started, people flocked to him for guidance and leadership. He stopped the war ravaging Europa, set up simple rules for everyone to comply by and frequently spent money and labor on building roads, hospitals and schools. In some ways, he could still be Lawful Good, given the time and setting he lives in. To the modern reader on the other hand, he is either Lawful Neutral, Lawful Evil, or Lawful Stupid, but he is certainly not a bad person altogether.

Roland Deschain of The Dark Tower novels sees himself as this, and does try to live up to the standards of Lawful Good, though in practice he often strays into Neutral or even Chaotic territory if faced with a situation which demands that he set aside his morals in order to achieve a goal. He always regrets the need to act outside of the Lawful Good alignment, but this never stops him from doing it when he deems it necessary.

Gundam has many characters with this alignment:
The Hero Amuro Ray himself, especially in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, though he started out as True Neutral in the original series. By CCA it would be fair to say his main role is as defender of Earth and the status quo.
Bright Noah the eternal captain of the Universal Century timeline and easily one the most dutiful and moral Reasonable Authority Figure of the franchise, not afraid of using a slap to set people straight and willing to join La Résistance to save The Federation from the corruption of the Titans.
Gundam 00 has Reasonable Authority Figures Sergei Smirnov and Kati Mannequin. Sumeragi used to be this when she was still part of the AEU prior on joining CB. Starting off as Lawful Neutral and then Neutral Good, Tieria Erde sort-of, if not, shifts to this alignment in the end of the series when he recaptured and merged with Veda, fulfilling his purpose as an Innovade, which is to guide humanity through innovation.

Superman: Superman in his more "Boy Scout" incarnations. Although when he originally debuted in the Golden Age and most of time Superman fluctuates between Chaotic Good and Neutral Good. Post-Flashpoint, he's become more like the original version, in some cases even making Batman look tame by comparison.

Interestingly enough, when Richard Rider was a member of the New Warriors in th 1990s, he was impulsive and often was the member of the team that most rebelled against Night Thrasher's leadership, making an excellent case for Chaotic Good.

Karl Mordo of Doctor Strange (2016) is a very firm believer in respecting the natural order of things and that they shouldn't be tampered with. This leads to a Broken Pedestal moment and a flirt with Lawful Stupid when he learns the Ancient One used the powers of the Dark Dimension to extend her lifespan and Dr. Strange using the Eye of Agamotto to stop Dormammu by violating the rules about time manipulation. He ends up leaving the order as he can't accept the idea of compromising the rules for the greater good. This ends up setting him on the path to Lawful Evil by deciding the best way to stop sorcerers from messing with the laws of the universe is to get rid of the sorcerers.

In the IDW comics, particularly The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Ultra Magnus is portrayed as being LG with the emphasis on lawful: while he's stoic and humourless to a nearly lethal degree, and is so anal about minor infractions that he views a misplaced apostrophe or a skewed badge as mutiny, he's also the guy who calls out Rodimus for assuming without evidence that Cyclonus attacked Red Alert, who actually attempted suicide, and is the only person to consistently treat Ten and the penitent Megatron with some measure of respect.

Batman: The Animated Series: While Batman's characterization in general tends to be all over the map, this version is definitely counts as this alignment, and is a borderline All-Loving Hero, as, in addition to his Thou Shalt Not Kill rule, he pretty much always at least tries to Save the Villain, and shows compassion towards the more sympathetic villains, such as Harley Quinn or Mary Dahl. Furthermore, his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Lock Up implies he has at least some compassion towards all but the most horrible criminals.

Galad Damodred in The Wheel of Time series continually puts good in front of every other motivation, even going so far as to join the Children of the Light, believing that this is the best way to help people see the Light.



Notable subversion: the Seanchan see themselves as very lawful and very good, but it's hard to agree with the good part, considering the rampant and fairly brutal slavery. Egeanin is a bit of an exception though.

Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird represents the moral ideal of both a lawyer and a human being: he is brutally honest, highly moral, a tireless crusader for good causes (even hopeless ones), and a virtual pacifist. He gets double points for maintaining his alignment despite being a lawyer in a society that is anything but Lawful Good. The American Legal Society chose this as the best law movie ever made because of him. Superman's favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird even.

There's a fair number of these characters in Case Closed, but Inspector Ninzaburou Shiratori turns out to be the biggest one since his desire to uphold and protect the law turns out to be quiiiite important to him ever since he was a child. It's clearly seen when he gives a killer a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that begins with Shiratori reciting a specific law code word by word.

Sereph Lamington from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is of this alignment, but in a society of Knight Templars he ends up flirting with chaos. He is determined, however, to accept the punishment due him for the rules that he breaks — a characteristic he shares with Flonne. Adell from the second game is also Lawful Good. He adheres to his rigid code of honesty and fairness even when it puts him at a disadvantage. He refuses to break promises, despises lying and deception, and his motivation for fighting is saving people.
Valvatorez deserves credit for being the first Lawful Good Demon in the series. He has a habit of making poorly considered promises that lead to him taking on the most powerful forces in the Netherworld rather than break them, and though he's a little Good Is Not Nice he's still endlessly supportive and loyal to his minions. Some of the other characters seem to consider this some sort of mental illness, even Valvatorez himself at times.

This is the preferred alignment of House Stark in A Song of Ice and Fire. It's also their Fatal Flaw, and so far most of them who've tried to uphold it have died..
Davos Seaworth is also Lawful Good, being unquestioningly loyal to his Lawful Neutral lord but also shown to be personally interested in his well-being, and is willing to go against his superior if it means keeping said lord clean from doing evil.
Another example of a Lawful Good character from this series is Brienne of Tarth, a female Knight in Shining Armor who is willing to risk life and limb to fulfill an oath she has taken or to protect innocent people, despite the fact that she lives in a Crapsack World dominated by dishonorable or even outright evil men and gets little respect or glory for it.

Commodore Norrington, particularly in the first film. He at first looks like the typical white male Disney authority-figure villain, but turns out to be a dedicated and loyal officer of the Crown who will gladly risk his life and his career for no reward to do what's right, and manages to leave the ever-witty Jack Sparrow speechless simply by explaining that he serves others, not merely himself. In later films, he edges away from this due to a Heroic BSoD, becoming more chaotic and self-centered in a desperate attempt to rebuild his ruined career, but proves that this is his natural alignment by covering for Will and Elizabeth in a Heroic Sacrifice, and proving to Davy Jones that no, he does not fear death.

The detectives and district attorneys in the Law & Order shows generally live up to the series title: They often struggle with the temptation to bend the rules to nail the bad guy, but they can never do so readily, or without remorse; and they are painfully aware the bad guys, and usually the defense attorneys, have no such compunctions. More importantly, they never lose sight of their first duty, which is not to punish the guilty but to protect the innocent, even if that means letting the bad guy get away. All these tendencies are even more marked in the DAs, who, unlike the cops, rarely have to deal with chaotic situations in the field.

Regular Show: Pops Maellerd is a literal embodiment of pure good. That's why he is a Lawful Good. In season one of the show he's an incredibly kind guy who is always in a good mood. He does not care that Mordecai and Rigby are slackers and even slacks off with them sometimes like in the season 2 episode, Go Viral. He would not harm anyone on purpose and is very patient with everyone. He had his fair share of causing trouble like forcing Benson to Manage his anger in the season 3 episode Think Positive. Which almost causes the destruction of the park. That instance was a result of his pure childlike innocence and desire for everyone to be happy and get along. He goes through great lengths to helps others like in the season 2 episode Really Real Wrestling. Being a chosen one Pops is destined to fight Anti-Pops. In the final episode, Regular Epic Final Battle Part 3: The Power he defeats Anti-Pops by killing him with kindness. In it he hugs his evil twin and sacrifices himself so he can save the universe even Anti-Pops learns the error of his ways from this hug.
Skips is another character that falls into this alignment. He is stoic who has worked at the park for a long time due to his immortality. Because of this he is very smarter than all of the characters combined. Mordecai and Rigby turn to him for advice on their various wacky adventures. Even when it's not his thing he still tries to help. In the season 5 episode, "Skip's Story". He has been expelled from many other schools and gets into a fight with Clorkbane. Walks meets and falls in Love with Mona and vows to never fight again to show his love for her. Mona dies during prom night. He meets the Guardians of Eternal Youth and tey tell him he will return and grant him immortality to see can protect the Earth from Clorkbane's wrath. He changed his name to Skips in memory of how they skiped together and stayed true to his name ever since. He lives the burden that he will outlive his loved ones. But chosed to live this way because he already lost his lover and believes that this is his duty to the universe. He does have a checkered past and killed Rigby in an Arm Wrestling match and rectified it by arm wrestling Death.

In One Piece, the concept of "Moral Justice" among the Marines boils down to this, contrasting with the Lawful Evil "Absolute Justice." Many personal definitions of justice are also largely identical to Moral Justice.
While Smoker and Tashigi are the Straw Hats' enemies, they are willing to work with them to deal with worse villains, and unlike other Marines, do not abuse their power or display Knight Templar tendencies in pursuing the Straw Hats or other pirates.
Marine Captain T-Bone has a similar predilection, as he cares for his men and is almost obsessed with protecting the innocent.
Nami and Nojiko's adoptive mother Bellemere, despite being a troublemaker in her youth, joined the Marines to fight against pirates who kill innocent people and tried to teach Nami not to steal.
There is also Admiral Aokiji — although works for the Lawful Evil World Government, he practices "lazy justice," only going after those he deems to be threats, and objects to the more horrific actions the government takes, like Akainu blowing up a ship full of civilians to prevent any possibility of scholars escaping Ohara.
Coby joins the Marines to bring justice to the people, but is purely moral and the one who finally speaks out against the Marines' actions when the battle at Marineford turns into a merciless massacre.
Jinbe, though a pirate, also qualifies, as his intent in being a pirate at all is primarily to protect his home island, and he fights with the intention of ending the racial tension between humans and fishmen, and the creation of a better society for both. As he's now a member of the largely Chaotic Neutral Straw Hat Pirates, he borders on Token Good Teammate.

Good Omens: Aziraphale, at least initially, though he's closer to Neutral Good by the end. While, as the book puts it, he "can't resist the opportunity to do good", he doesn't view himself as having free will and obeys whatever orders Heaven gives him. His having to make the choice To Be Lawful or Good when the forces of Heaven try to end the world is a major plot point, and while he does choose to be good and try to save the world in the end, he first has to convince himself that he's actually following Heaven's rules in doing so.

Trias in Planescape: Torment is lawful good by nature, being an angel. He is also an extremely twisted version of Lawful Good — believing that the Blood War is itself driving the planes towards evil (something that seems to be true given what you hear of it), he wanted the angels and the forces of good to take an active hand and intercede in it and became a Necessarily Evil Fallen Angel as a result.

Suzaku in the Code Geass spinoff Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally tries to keep order and support Euphemia in her quest to reform the empire without falling into the Lawful Neutral and Lawful Stupid behavior of the original series. He also starts out like this in his own spinoff manga, but shifts to Neutral Good while breaking Lelouch out of prison in order to save the world from Schneizel.
And in the main series (as well as the aforementioned spinoff), Euphemia li Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia, two Wide-Eyed Idealist Rebellious Princesses of the Lawful Evil Holy Britannian Empire. Two of the few indisputably good-aligned characters in a black-and-gray series.

This is what America and England try to be. They tend to go more for Chaotic Good and Selfish Good instead.
Ukraine seems to be this, considering she's among the sanest (for a sort-of measure) in the very screwed up Baltic corner.
Don't forget about the rest of the Baltics. Especially Lithuania, who does his best to look after the others and is a sweet, hardworking person. Though they're mostly Lawful only out fear of their boss Russia, though...

Harpuia from the Mega Man Zero series falls between Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral because of his Hero Antagonist nature. He opposes the resistance, but is saddened by the war (see his comments about 1/3 into the second game), would rather die than be possessed by a manifestation of evil (the second fight in MMZ 2), and believes protecting the innocent is more important than fighting the resistance when faced with Chaotic Evil Omega. His prime motivation for fighting Zero is protecting humanity.

Hector from The Iliad is generally seen as this. Especially the case in the Eric Bana film Troy when he might as well serve as the standard bearer for this alignment. However, the actual epic shows him more as Lawful Neutral, adhering to a stricter sense of honour than any other character but nevertheless being just as willing to Kick the Dog.

Shiki Eiki, Yamaxanadu, the local Judge of The Dead. She's Lawful by definition and she's definitely Good; she tries to dissuade other characters from their (many, many) vices.

Final Fantasy generally has at least one character representing this alignment in every installment:
Cecil Harvey of Final Fantasy IV, while he begins the game as a Lawful Neutral soldier whose first instinct is to serve his king, becomes torn between following orders and doing the right thing; eventually, he becomes a paladin and devotes himself to doing good.
Final Fantasy VI: Sabin Figaro, the heroic and brave martial artist dedicated to the ideals of his deceased master, and Cyan Garamonde, the honorable, noble, and kindhearted samurai, are this to begin with, and Celes Chere, a former imperial soldier haunted by her past misdeeds who atones by becoming a Knight in Shining Armor, grows into it.
Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII. Even her powers such as Great Gospel demonstrates her nigh saintliness. Too bad about her fate. Red XIII is also this, due to his high respect towards his elders and ancestors (at least eventually), and initially only follows the party to get back home to his adoptive grandfather.
Adelbert Steiner of Final Fantasy IX is this almost to a fault, as his devotion to the ideals of knighthood borders on Lawful Stupid to begin with; as the game goes along he mellows out a bit. His rival and love interest Beatrix also ends up here after starting the game as Lawful Neutral; much like Cecil she's a dutiful soldier at first, who eventually rebels when the orders the ruler she serves give her become too immoral.
Final Fantasy X: Wakka, Lulu and Yuna, as the party's most avid followers of Yevon (who governs law in Spira), are this at the beginning of the game. A big part of their Character Development (in particular, Wakka's) is crossing the line into Neutral Good.
Larsa Solidor of Final Fantasy XII is a deeply-idealistic Lawful Good: throughout the game, he strives to bring about peace through diplomacy rather than intimidation and subterfuge. This of course stands in stark contrast to his elder brother's Lawful Evil.
Lightning may have become this in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Given her paladin status in that game.
Wiegraf from Final Fantasy Tactics starts out this way. He's a principled warrior who rebelled against the Crown because the realm was bankrupt and refused to pay their volunteer army, but even in the rebellion, he sticks to his principles and refuses to allow his troops to engage in kidnapping; he wants his and his men's rightful due, not just a ransom. When his sister is killed, however, he starts sliding down the slippery slope, until he accepts the power of a Zodiac Stone with what would have been his dying breath and becomes Chaotic Evil.

Magic: The Gathering:
White at its most benevolent tends to be this, having both order and morality written into it's general description, so it gets easily stereotyped into this. Though far from all white characters apply for this, these characters still remain common in the Magic 'verse. For an individual example, we have Gideon Jura, who started off as a Lawful Neutral Knight Templar (still white, mind you), but turned himself to this after repeated clashes with his then enemy (and later ally), the red-aligned pyromancer Chandra Nalaar.
In Ixalan's Planeshift Guide it is stated that this is the stereotypical alignment for Red-White, which fans otherwise have long assumed to be Chaotic Good (due to Red's emphasis on freedom). Emphasis on "stereotypical", of course; canon examples of Red-White characters include the Nobilis of War, which is Chaotic Evil, and the Boros Legion, which can be constructed as anything. Ixalan's own Red-White faction, the Sun Empire, vacilates somewhere between Lawful Good and Lawful Evil, with the dinosaurs that it controls being mindless.

Barbarella: Barbarella herself belongs in this alignment. She's beholden to the One World Order that Earth will have become in the 41st century and she believes in upholding its values, which consist of peace, equality and efficiency. Her mission is specifically to find a rogue scientist whose inventions could lead to chaos, which she finds appalling. This forms an interesting contrast with her comic book self, a free-spirited drifter who answers to no one but herself.

The Deed of Paksenarrion: It's a book about 'Paladin done right. and a strong aversion of Lawful Stupid. In addition to Paks, Kieri, Dorrin, and Stammel also fit this Alignment.
In many ways, the whole series is a study in multiple flavors of this. Gird is different from Falk. Kieri, Paks, Dorrin, Stammel, and Arcolin are all different flavors of this.

Sadly though they lost connection with humanity and became Knight Templars when Superman decided to Screw Destiny during the Our Worlds at War story line. Resulting in them being locked away because they couldn't deal with a world where there was no Because Destiny Says So. The team's position as the DCU Time Police has been filled by the Neutral Good Time Masters.

TRON has a strong moral code expressed in his catchphrase: "I fight for the Users!" His counterpart / creator Alan Bradley is also of this alignment, not even doing his banking on company time. Alan does make a To Be Lawful or Good call early in the film by throwing his lot in with Flynn's plan, though. After what happened to Tron at Dyson's hands, it's a pretty safe bet that he's down to Lawful Neutral in TRON: Uprising. And in TRON: Legacy even more torture and brainwashing twisted him into the Lawful Evil Rinzler.

Though considered a maverick by the government organization backing her and operating on the personal belief she's selfish for prioritizing her friends and desires over the sake of the world, Chisato from Lycoris Recoil demonstrates all the hallmarks of a breakaway benevolent entity with lawful ideals. She keeps herself to a rigid code of conduct that informs every action she takes, only deviating from her code when to do otherwise puts her allies in danger, and even then still works to maintain that code. Though Chisato is considered a maverick by DA for refusing to kill, she nonetheless works with the institution and is used as their best agent when things are dire because she still believes in the safety they're trying to provide and recognizes that even on their worst days DA is trying to uphold peace.

Spider-Man: Spider-Man may be the poster child for Neutral Good, but really he's closer to this alignment. He does not value breaking the law for the Greater Good any more than most other costumed vigilantes, and will gladly use- and even seek out- the help of local law enforcement whenever its available, if not outright join them (Civil War being a prime example). The problem for Spidey is more that he is a Hero with Bad Publicity, and due to decades of media persecution along with a couple of people suspecting him of certain murders (the deaths of Gwen and George Stacy, respectively), he can't play this trope straight. As a contrast, the main reason Batman is portayed as Lawful Good is due to his good relationship with the police (or the police commissioner, anyway), but Bats will drop the cops in a flash if he thinks he can't trust them to do their jobs right; Spidey simply doesn't have a Jim Gordon counterpart to trust in the first place (though there have been a couple of detective friends over the years).

My-HiME:
Akira Okuzaki, a teenage Ninja girl, has the utmost respect of her clan's traditions and rules. Still, she will occasionally go against them to do what she thinks is the right thing to do, such as saving Takumi's life instead of killing him for discovering her secret.
Haruka Suzushiro acts more strict, but still adheres to this alignment... at least in the anime. Manga!Haruka is much more Lawful Neutral, but it's mostly played for laughs as she decides that certain laws (school rules) are more important than others (the laws against kidnapping people, for instance).

The only Fate/stay night character that is listed as being of the Lawful Good territority is Saber. Considering she's King Arthur, it is only obvious. However, when she becomes Saber Alter, she becomes Lawful Evil.
Shirou Emiya also starts out Lawful Good but converts to Neutral Good in the Unlimited Blade Works route after several Breaking Speeches from Archer, his Fallen Hero future self cause him to re-think his stance on trying to save everybody simply because it's "right" and to Chaotic Good in Heaven' Feel when he chooses Sakura over his ideals.

Pirates of the Caribbean
Commodore Norrington, particularly in the first film. He at first looks like the typical white male Disney authority-figure villain, but turns out to be a dedicated and loyal officer of the Crown who will gladly risk his life and his career for no reward to do what's right, and manages to leave the ever-witty Jack Sparrow speechless simply by explaining that he serves others, not merely himself. In later films, he edges away from this due to a Heroic BSoD, becoming more chaotic and self-centered in a desperate attempt to rebuild his ruined career, but proves that this is his natural alignment by covering for Will and Elizabeth in a Heroic Sacrifice, and proving to Davy Jones that no, he does not fear death.
Will Turner tries to be this through most of the series, but since piracy is In the Blood, he pretty much realizes by the end that trying a lawful approach isn't going to do him any good in the long run, since pirates have a natural drive towards chaos.
In fourth film, we get the Spanish, and this is a possible alignment for them. They're on a mission to destroy the Fountain of Youth, an Artifact of Death that prolongs one person's life at the expense of another's, and the only person they kill on the way was directly in their path. Other than that, they're not even impolite to their adversaries. Still, they edge more towards the lawful side of this trope, as their reasoning is that the only eternal life that men can get is through Jesus Christ, and pagan magic must be destroyed because it's not that.

Warhammer 40,000:
With their society revolving around serving the Greater Good, the Tau Empire attempt to be this, and often do achieve it on occasion, but are more commonly repressive Lawful Neutral with a dash of necessary Lawful Evil.It should be noted that the reports of repression all come by way of Imperial sources. This was done intentionally by Games Workshop after some players complained that the Tau were wrecking the GRIMDARK. Now the interpretation is back in player hands.
Although things have gone strongly downhill following the Horus Heresy, some Space Marine chapters, such as the Salamanders, the Ultramarines, the Blood Angels, the Imperial Fists, and the Grey Knights can be solidly put in this position, being in strong support of the Codex Astartes combat doctrines, and being generally nicer than many other chapters.

High Elves in Warhammer Fantasy. Stress on Lawful, as they are a hallmark of Good Is Not Nice, and High Elves are a haughty, elitist, uppity and arrogant lot who patronize Humans, disdain Dwarves, shun Wood Elves and hate almost all other races. Despite this, they are a Dying Race not simply because of their arrogance, but because they are constantly trying to save the world from destruction at the hands of any given villain group in its Big Bad Ensemble. They consider it their sacred duty to do so, because in their eyes no other race can be trusted to replace them, though the more virtuous among them gladly intervene on behalf of and form Enemy Mine agreements with those races they know they can trust. Their army also places a heavy emphasis on discipline and focus during battle.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
Twilight Sparkle has a very strong sense of duty to her friends, her mentor, and her country. She is endlessly helpful and believes that going about things in an orderly fashion is very important, and constantly acts as an organizer and leader. She constantly volunteers to help out those who are in need, be it her friends or her community, and puts herself in harm's way to protect others without a second thought, and will fight evil no matter the odds.
Spike shows extreme loyalty to his friends and a duty in doing the right thing. He is utterly devoted to being Twilight's assistant, while also helping to reign her back in mentally whenever she starts to lose control of herself. After Applejack saved his life, he declares that he owes his life to serving her citing his own "dragon code" as the reason.
Applejack, like Twilight, has a very strong sense of duty to her community, her friends, and her family, and is constantly pitching in. She volunteered to donate all her winnings from a competition to the town and, when she failed to win the competition, took a job working at a cherry orchard so that she wouldn't let the town down. She has a very strongly developed sense of honor and fair play, and dislikes it when people break the rules or behave in a dishonorable fashion. She is a Bad Liar, and is visibly uncomfortable whenever she has to be deceptive in any way.
Rarity is a much less extreme version of this trope. She believes strongly in rules and is very generous, but ironically has the flaw of being self-centered and egotistical, though she invariably feels bad when she hurts others to advance herself. While she may appear finicky and dainty on the outside, when the situation is dire, she will dirty her hooves and fight to the death to protect those she cares about, and deep down has a strong sense of responsibility towards others like her friends, even if at times her affected persona obscures it somewhat.
Starlight Glimmer straddles the line between this and Lawful Neutral after her Heel–Face Turn. She tries her best and always has good intentions, but still retains a dislike for The Evils of Free Will that can occasionally push her into far more ambiguous territory.
Starswirl the Bearded is a more extreme, Knight Templar-ish take on this trope. He is something of a moral zealot, firmly believing in justice, duty and the need to make sacrifices for the greater good — and he was entirely willing to sacrifice himself, in the past, when he needed to seal a powerful villain away. However, he is also strict and unforgiving and has little empathy for villains — if someone else gives themselves over to evil, then he sees it as his duty to stop them by any means necessary and has little patience for trying to reform them or talk them down. Once a villain, always a villain.

Chris Adams of The Magnificent Seven is a Nice Guy gunslinger who doesn't take all that much convincing to help out an improverished Mexican village with their bandit problem. Even when the going gets tough, he never once considers abandoning them, despite the fact that the pay for the job is rather poor (twenty dollars plus room and board) and he makes it clear that, when he promised to protect those farmers, he meant it.

Dick Tracy has the titular character, designed as a direct counter to the gangsters and corruption which permeated the 1930's. Dick Tracy is thoroughly incorruptible by any means, fearless and cool-headed in the face of danger, compassionate toward innocent patsies and regretful criminals, and a brilliant detective who uses cutting-edge forensics technology to prove both guilt and innocence. Although Tracy has a reputation for killing his foes, this is limited to those who present a clear danger, and he's risked his own life on numerous occasions to try and save the lives of criminals in dangerous situations.

Cedric Daniels from The Wire, who balances between doing "good police work" and what Baltimore PD management demands. An example of Lawful Good in a system which is not Good. Kima Greggs, with her rigid sense of ethics and insistence on proper policework, is also Lawful Good, and Ellis Carver eventually matures into it as he begins to take his responsibility to his community and his professional code of ethics more seriously.

SSA Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner from Criminal Minds. Hotch is the by the book, rule-following leader who almost never takes his tie off, in contrast to the brilliant but off-kilter Gideon, and later the Cowboy Cop David Rossi. When Elle shot William Lee under questionable circumstances, Hotch didn't let her off the hook, but told her to either go get counseling, or hand in her badge and gun. (She did the latter.) Committed to Lawful Good even at the expense of his marriage and his own personal well-being. To clarify, his wife wanted him to switch jobs and thus spend more time with his family; Hotch really did want to spend time with his family, but loved his job and was proud of the difference he made, especially since his young son was so proud of what he did thinking that he was some kind of superhero. His wife left (with his son) because she couldn't handle it, though they still stayed in touch and loved each other. As for Elle, there wasn't enough evidence to prove what happened one way or the other (though the audience saw- she murdered Lee in cold blood), and he might have taken tougher action if there was, especially since the perp was out on the streets solely because she stuffed his arrest up.

While most good Soul Series characters seem to fall into Neutral Good territory, Sophitia is a definite Lawful. She's on a heaven-mandated mission to destroy Soul Edge. She only breaks this under pressure of a direct threat to her daughter, after she's been deceived into thinking that her life and that of Soul Edge are linked. She still arguably maintains this Lawful stance, only now, her loyalty is to her family, rather than the gods.

Wiegraf from Final Fantasy Tactics starts out this way. He's a principled warrior who rebelled against the Crown because the realm was bankrupt and refused to pay their volunteer army, but even in the rebellion, he sticks to his principles and refuses to allow his troops to engage in kidnapping; he wants his and his men's rightful due, not just a ransom. When his sister is killed, however, he starts sliding down the slippery slope, until he accepts the power of a Zodiac Stone with what would have been his dying breath and becomes Chaotic Evil.

Mawari of My Bride is a Mermaid. Plans to be a police officer and carries a whistle at all times, blowing it at any perceived infraction against morals/justice with the catchphrase (or variant) "Do you want Mawari to teach you about the rules of society?" Always convinced that she is right and interferes with everything without concern for herself, according to Nagasumi's childhood memories.
San herself is pretty Lawful Good too, being always concerned with the "code of chivalry" and the fact that, barring the occasional Comedic Sociopathy moment, she wouldn't hurt a fly.

Madam Secretary: Dr. Henry McCord, Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord's husband, is a former Marine and a professor of theology and ethics with a very strong code of personal conduct that he will not compromise lightly: in one case he balks at giving the Russian foreign minister's daughter an A for C work even when it will help his wife rescue a captured US spy from death row (instead giving her an incomplete so she can retake the course). In season two he moves from Georgetown to the National War College, teaching military ethics to promising officers from several countries while also watching foreign officers to see which ones can be made into intelligence assets. He refuses to blackmail an Armored Closet Gay Russian officer, instead providing cancer treatment to the sister of a young man with anti-Russian nationalist political views.

Dimitri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a deconstruction of this alignment, as he has a strong sense of justice with virtues of chivalry and honor. At the same time, however, he also has to battle his own inner demons due to him being a Sole Survivor of Tragedy of Duscur and dealing with his own Sanity Slippage. Post-timeskip, he ends up degenerating into Chaotic Neutral, as he still maintains his belief that the innocent should be protected from evil and still wants to protect the Church of Seiros, but his mental state is driven by hatred to the point that he commits brutal atrocities in order to exact his revenge on Edelgard. However, he rebounds back into Lawful good again on the Azure Moon route.

Aveline from Dragon Age II is another example; as a guardswoman she always tries to use the law to make people's lives in Kirkwall better, and she'll speak up if Hawke acts particularly chaotically or callously. It takes something pretty horrific (like a Serial Killer preying on elf girls human society doesn't care about) for her to condone outright execution.

Ace Attorney:
Despite having Kleptomaniac Hero tendencies, Phoenix has got to be either this or Neutral Good. His successor Apollo Justice, focusing more on the lawful part of the equation than Phoenix did, is definitely Lawful Good. Post-Character Development Edgeworth also counts; he clearly shows his pursuit of justice comes first and his desire to "win" second — unlike in Franziska and Manfred von Karma's case. Also, Mia Fey, who is more collected and rational than Phoenix, eventually becoming his mentor before and after being murdered. Phoenix himself defends not only his clients, but anyone else that he believes are truly innocent. Not only this, but Phoenix has shown on a few occasions that he will object to his own not guilty verdict on his client when he feels the real killer hasn't been found yet or when the verdict isn't fully just (for example, the defendant is innocent, but someone else, who is also innocent, would be seen as guilty).
Klavier Gavin from the fourth game, the only prosecutor to unequivocally claim this alignment from his first appearance. He completely averts Amoral Attorney, being warm, friendly, and much more concerned with finding the truth than racking up wins.
The judge is an honorable old gentleman dedicated to upholding justice and the law within his courtroom. He delivers a fine speech at the end of Apollo Justice where he espouses the viewpoint that it is humanity's duty to maintain and nurture the law so that it can always protect the innocent.

Doctor Fate: As a Lord of Order, Nabu is an unquestionable Lawful Neutral, obsessed with Order and its preservation. Due to his magical power, Nabu cannot operate on his own (at least, not for very long) and must remain contained within his mystical Helm of Fate until a human puts it on and becomes his host and, together, become the individual known as Doctor Fate. This human is almost always Good-aligned; depending on the level of influence that Nabu or the host has over Doctor Fate, this determines whether he is more Lawful or more Good, respectively. When they have a relatively balanced amount of both of them making him, Fate becomes a fairly standard Lawful Good superhero in terms of morality, and it's when that balance is tipped to one side that Fate can struggle with To Be Lawful or Good.

Joe Swanson from Family Guy is a police officer that always follows the law and expects his friends to do the same, even going as far as arresting them should they break the law. However, Joe has made a few exceptions when the circumstances call for it and is willing to bend a few rules for it. It's occasionally dialed up to Lawful Stupid for laughs, such as when James Woods stole Peter's identity, and Joe kept calling Woods as "Peter" because Woods got a hold of Peter's driver's license, or when he told Quagmire that "The law says the police can't get involved until it's too late" when talking about Quagmire's sister and her abusive boyfriend.

Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin goes by this trope quite well, to name a specially blatant time the whole Jinchu story arc, where he jumps to protect 2 guys who were trying to kill him (one of them shot him with a gun after his fight with Enishi!!) and the guy who tried to blow him up with a grenade. Why? Because killing is wrong and he has this oath of never killing nor letting anyone kill anyone before him. It's worth noting that Kenshin's master expelled him because this philosophy is against the principles of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu (Kenshin's fighting style), which is basically a combination of True Neutral and Chaotic Good. The idea is that practitioners are supposed to protect the weak by using lethal force on aggressors while not concerning oneself with the actions and laws of society and its people.

In Tales of the Abyss, Jade Curtiss (of all people) clearly demonstrates this alignment if you delve into the game's numerous sidequests. He even gets a title calling him "Lawman". An interesting example because despite being both Lawful and Good, he does not remotely fit the classic stereotypes associated with the alignment; it's been suggested that he clings to the law because his past has made him afraid to trust his conscience as a guide.
A more conventional example would be Princess Natalia, who has a somewhat similar ideology to Flynn (mentioned below) and is shown to be a much more competent ruler than her father. This makes her a target for the resident Corrupt Church.
And also Emperor Peony, a Reasonable Authority Figure and all round Nice Guy who was largely responsible for setting Jade down the path of Lawful Goodness in the first place.

Babylon 5:
Captain Sheridan repeatedly does what's right regardless of the personal consequences. Some major plot-centric examples: seceding the station from Earth, leading the war against the Shadows (and later the Vorlons too), and leading a civil war to remove the President from power for his illegal actions. He's also fond of using the Law to uphold the Good, mainly using Loophole Abuse to legally justify doing the right thing (see providing sanctuary to an escaped Narn ship against the Centauri on grounds that he is required to respond to distress signals, arresting the Nightwatch members of his crew based on a chain-of-command irregularity when they try to seize control of the station, and justifying his breaking of the blockade of Proxima III at the start of his war with Clark due to the illegality of Clark's orders).
The original Kosh, although more or less Lawful Neutral like the Vorlons on average, is definitely one of the Vorlons who leans towards the "good" side of the spectrum. Lorien also implies that the Vorlons were originally this, thousands or millions of years ago, before they got too interested in proving themselves right rather than working in secret concert with the Shadows to help societies find a balance between Order and Chaos.

Koenma in YuYu Hakusho typically follows Spirit World's laws and fairly enforces them, but sometimes breaks them for the greater good, as he turns a blind eye to the Dark Tournament because it helps keep demons out of trouble. However, when he can, he will use legal means to deal with problems in Spirit World's hierarchy, like when he manages to get his father removed from office for sending demons into the human world to justify the barrier's existence.

Kyle Crane, the protagonist of Dying Light, is an exploration of this concept. Crane is willing to follow the orders of the humanitarian GRE but also acting within his own personal morality as a nice guy who doesn't want to fight and feels horrible for having to threaten people. This leads to Rais, who views the world as a pit of chaos with order as a joke and hopes to spread that chaos around Harran and further beyond, i.e a textbook Chaotic Evil Unfettered, to disparage him as nothing more than a puppet or a dog, claiming that a real man follows his own instincts and doesn't let silly things like duty hold him back. However, he's wrong, as there's more to Crane than Rais thinks, as Crane more than once calls out his GRE employers for ordering him to work with Rais, refusing to assist the Tower survivors and halting the Antizen drops because it isn't "politically advantageous", and ultimately he betrays them when he finds out that the GRE were responsible for the whole mess in Harran and are just out to cover their own arses. Crane follows orders, but does so dutifully, not mindlessly.

Hino Rei of Sailor Moon was a highly-disciplined miko before she started fighting evil in high heels and a miniskirt, and is generally the most serious-minded of all the Inner Senshi. The manga version — who swore a vow of chastity to Princess Serenity in her past life and intends to hold herself to it in her new one — fits this trope even better.

Justified:
Chief Deputy Art Mullen. He is loyal and devoted to his fellow Marshals, and while he tolerates Raylan's many indiscretions, it's clear that they chafe at him. He is also willing to take a bullet to protect an innocent under his protection, which he does during Season 5.
An unlikely example exists in the person of Constable Bob Sweeney. In a county full of drug addicts, small-time crooks, petty swindlers, and otherwise deceitful folk, Bob is darn near incorruptible. He goes above and beyond to assist and protect his fellow law enforcement officers. While he may seem bumbling and ineffectual, his help often proves invaluable.

Transformers: Optimus Prime is Lawful Good in every incarnation, all the way from Optimus Prime the Mighty Leader of the Autobots, to Optimus Prime the Elite Guard Washout, to Optimus Prime the last Prime. Except, rather obviously, in the Shattered Glass Mirror Universe; there, Megatron fills the role generally played by Optimus and vice-versa.
In the IDW comics, particularly The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Ultra Magnus is portrayed as being LG with the emphasis on lawful: while he's stoic and humourless to a nearly lethal degree, and is so anal about minor infractions that he views a misplaced apostrophe or a skewed badge as mutiny, he's also the guy who calls out Rodimus for assuming without evidence that Cyclonus attacked Red Alert, who actually attempted suicide, and is the only person to consistently treat Ten and the penitent Megatron with some measure of respect.

Guy from Final Fight and Street Fighter, specially in the latter. Yes, he beats up the bad guys outside the law, but he does so to uphold said law, and he endlessly seeks both to bring Cody back to the side of good and make sure Rose realizes she shouldn't be a Death Seeker.
Plus, Chun-Li also deserves credit for being the most foremost example in the Street Fighter franchise. She works hard to bring M. Bison and Shadaloo to justice, adopted several children, and hates inflicting harm on her opponents.

Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass is an Inspector who, at first, firmly believes in the Sibyl System but not blindly so; while she believes that analysis of people's Crime Coefficient and mandatory arrest and therapy for people who score too high are a good thing, she also doesn't believe in executing a scared woman simply because she was kidnapped and raped into a highly stressed state. When Law and Good aren't on speaking terms, however, she will consistently choose Good (because in her mind, any such Law is illegitimate).

Captain America: Captain America, though after the Marvel Civil War some would argue differently. Cap's the flavor of this alignment where far more weight is put on Good than Lawful, and is one of the few major characters in the Marvel Universe to dedicate himself to Good first above anything else, having gone so far to once even giving up the "America" part of his name, rather than having to unquestionably follow the government's word no matter what. His Ultimate Marvel incarnation, however, puts a little more emphasis on the Lawful part over the Good part than his main universe counterpart.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
Captain Picard and Worf, being both two of the most benevolent characters and two of the most beholden to Starfleet regulations.
Data, being an android, is well suited to this alignment, even failing a Starfleet Academy course due to not being able to take the "con" position for the argument that life is always sacred. But unlike most depictions of androids that aren't Lawful Evil or Lawful Neutral, he tends to place Good above Lawful when they come into conflict. Several episodes show him violating orders, and even the laws of The Federation to do what's right, such as breaking the Prime Directive to save the planet of a young girl he had befriended ("Pen Pals"), disobeying Captain Picard to expose an enemy invader (then submitting himself to be punished, which Picard declines) ("Redemption, Pt. 2"), and disobeying him again for the crew's own protection ("Clues"). After getting his emotion chip, Data goes even more into a edges near Neutral Good. His Evil Twin brother Lore, on the other hand, is straight-up Chaotic Evil.
Odo starts out seemingly obsessively Lawful Neutral, but he does not care about specific laws or regulations at all. Rules change as new people come into power, but justice is always justice. He is willing to cooperate with almost anyone regardless of their past, when it helps solving crimes, and he does not care who the victims or suspects are. However, when he has reason to believe that the expected punishment is significantly too harsh and would be even more unjust than the original crime, he sometimes lies to his superiors and let criminals go free. He also is more interested in solving conflicts and preventing crime than in seeing criminals punished, and often goes easy on minor offenses if he thinks it will do more good in the long run than a full punishment according to the law. His rigid adherence to this personal code rather than external rules is somewhat of a bone of contention with Starfleet's brass.
