Character Alignment Lawful Good | Neutral Good | Chaotic Good Lawful Neutral | True Neutral | Chaotic Neutral Lawful Evil | Neutral Evil | Chaotic Evil The Character Alignment of sweetness and light. A Neutral Good character will usually comply with laws if doing so benefits the greater good, but rebel against those they consider unjust or which conflict with the greater good. There are different kinds of Neutral Goodness: Passively Good — they have fairly normal lives and ambitions, but will do good as the situation arises. They will help anyone they come across who needs it, then get back to their normal routine. They are most likely to be good towards family, friends, and those within their social circle (if they are a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, to the extent allowed), though they have no issue with helping strangers. They may even do volunteer work or other do-gooding that they find personally satisfying. At the same time, they do not view Good as the concept that defines their lives — for them, Goodness is an obligation, or even just their nature. They will do what Good they like or what needs to be done, and then they will go home and carry on as normal. Actively Good — for them, Goodness is an Ideal as well as (or, less likely, instead of) an obligation. They devote themselves to a life of Goodness and doing Good is the most important thing in their lives or one of at least. They believe in doing what is Right and may sacrifice personal happiness, perhaps even in advance, in pursuit of that. If they are not an Ideal Hero, they admire and seek to imitate them. This type wants to do good, to go out and have adventures and to right wrongs and fight evil, but might be unprepared for the harsh realities they have to face, though they will probably have strong enough principles and beliefs that this will not stun them for long. Alternatively, Comes Great Responsibility is in play and they feel that doing good is their duty — this does not make them Lawful Good but means that they will do good regardless of whether Lawfulness is in play. Neutral Good can be the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. Neutral Good characters value freedom and will protect others' freedom as long as it's not used to do harm. Likewise, they respect and will try to obey laws, again, as long as they're not used to do harm. A Neutral Good character is not too caught up in Order Versus Chaos; they are concerned with moral goodness, but often not willing to enforce it in others. Something of a 'classic' hero or adventurer alignment as seen in many RPGs and JRPGs, as well as many anime series, particularly Shōnen or more optimistic Seinen works. A Neutral Good character is sometimes a Friend to All Living Things and/or a Technical Pacifist, but they don't necessarily have to be either. Just think "basically good person" and you've probably got it. If they do decide to take up arms, they may have a particular affinity with kneecap and other non-lethal shots. Neutral Good states may be really nice places to live, but depending on how idealistic the setting is, they may be deluding themselves. Neutral Good characters tend to suffer more personal conflicts in Grey-and-Gray Morality settings with Order Versus Chaos themes. However, before you all run up to this alignment expecting it to hand out unconditional love and free cake, a small word of caution: if this alignment is combined with Good Is Not Soft, things can get interesting. That is to say, someone who will always, always do what they believe is right, and won’t let either laws or personal freedoms get in their way. If played properly alongside Good Is Not Nice, this alignment can be downright scary. When it comes to fighting evil, the Neutral Good character is probably the best equipped and the most dangerous hero to face for the bad guys. While they will follow the law if it's best and even make friends with people in authority, they will, without hesitation, say Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!. So to a Lawful Evil character, the laws are no protection against a Neutral Good character, who will dispense with finding evidence to convict the villain in lieu of taking him out. If just killing the bad guy is the best way to go, then the Lawful Evil baddy had best have an army to protect him, because Neutral Good only takes the rules as helpful suggestions. Chaotic Evil would also have issues against Neutral Good characters because they tend not to be caught up in causes like the Lawful Good hero or have the issues of a Chaotic Good hero, so any attempt by a Chaotic Evil character to Break Them by Talking or a Hannibal Lecture about how they aren't so different will usually be met with Shut Up, Hannibal! or Talk to the Fist. In much the same way that pragmatism and being The Unfettered make Neutral Evil the most dangerous evil alignment, that same pragmatism and willingness to go for the most straightforward solution makes Neutral Good, arguably, the most dangerous good alignment. Like Chaotic Good, characters/people of Neutral Good are driven by an internal, rather than external, code of morality, known as their conscience. The difference between Chaotic and Neutral here is that Neutral Good is more pragmatic and usually (although not always) more moderate. Neutral Good's internal definition of Goodness is what directs them, irrespective of the presence or absence of an externally enforced legal code. If abiding by the law is the most expedient means of accomplishing a goal that is internally defined as Good, then that is what Neutral Good will do. If, on the other hand, they live in an environment with laws that they consider unjust, or which impede them in doing what they internally define as Good, then they will quite happily (although usually a bit more hesitantly and carefully than Chaotic) break said laws. Neutral Good is primarily dangerous because the alignment is primarily concerned with Good results, whereas the means employed to achieve those ends are usually considered irrelevant. A fanatical Neutral Good can therefore be just as dangerous as Chaotic Good if their internal heuristics get screwed up. Although Pure Good characters stereotypically tend to be considered Lawful Good, that isn't necessarily right: they can be Neutral Good or even Chaotic Good as well. Neutral Good may even be the purest alignment, as lawful or chaotic characters are, by definition, beholden to concepts other than goodness and can thus be kind of extremists.

Dr. John Watson of BBC's Sherlock, as a contrast to his so-called "high-functioning sociopath" friend, is kind and caring, but occasionally willing to step outside the boundaries of the law to achieve what is right, i.e., shooting a Serial Killer to save his friend. | |

Shin Megami Tensei IV likewise sends you straight into this by choosing the Neutral Path, as you then are tasked with restoring Tokyo's hope; it's things as little as playing delivery boy or taking a couple of photos to remind an old woman of her past, or as big as stopping major demon summonings or saving the Fairy race from extinction. The end result has you become The Paragon for the entire city and an almost literal beacon of hope along with hidden allies Fujiwara and Skins. | |

Genshin Impact: The Traveler's main focus is to find and reunite with their missing sibling, but they keep helping others along the course of their journey. More often than not they get falsely blamed for something and have to fight the authorities, but the Traveler doesn't mind allying themselves with the authorities. The Traveler also might help out the Fatui from time to time, who are normally their enemies. | |

Gabriel Belmont from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, though a nuanced Byronic Hero motivated by a self-centered desire, is still an incredibly pious and kindhearted man, prepared to combat the darkness no matter the odds. Nonetheless, while carrying out the duty as a warrior of the Brotherhood of Light, he does not waver when it comes to stepping outside the standard of the Brotherhood, such as upgrading his chain whip with spikes in order to continue on his journey. And in spite of the villains constantly denouncing him as similar to themselves, and sometimes even proposing that he's worse than them, the only creatures he opposes are inherently evil by nature. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica as well. It has its titular heroine who essentially is Neutral Good, very selfless, socially polite and shy, but reveals to have more Chaotic Good than Lawful Good traits, as she's willing to break the law when she becomes the new god. | |

Ranma ½ has Yamato Nadeshiko Kasumi (very sweet, and more Lawful than Chaotic) and Akane (generally a Nice Girl, but with more Chaotic tendencies when she gets angry). The other main characters are Chaotic Good (except the morally neutral ones). | |

Zoë from Sluggy Freelance just tries to get by in the comic's crazy world, but whenever it really comes down to it, she's basically very decent and occasionally heroic. She was perhaps Lawful Good when younger due to being even more "nice" and rule-obeying (leading to everyone walking all over her). | |

The newest hero in the franchise, Beck in TRON: Uprising, is also this alignment. What he's doing isn't lawful in the slightest, and he's ripping off his hero's identity to fight Tesler, but he's also the kind of guy who will spare the life of a defeated opponent and tries very hard to minimize casualties — enemy, ally, or civilian. | |

This describes Onizuka-sensei of Great Teacher Onizuka under D&D rules. He may be stupid, selfish, greedy, and the furthest thing from being a mature, responsible teacher, but he'd do anything for his students. He sits here because he isn't particularly Chaotic or Lawful. | |

The Simpsons: Lisa Simpson seems to fit here pretty well, due to her moral standards and her status as the Only Sane Woman. She tries to, and usually succeeds at, following laws and rules that exist, but she is more than willing to break said rules when she believes it's the right thing to do. She lacks the laid-back and outright rebellious nature of Bart, but she is a bit too willing to break norms and traditions to be Lawful Good. | |

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus: Sigrun Engel, who is probably the nicest person in the whole series and even before she joins the good guys right at the start, one gets the impression she was never really evil, just unlucky enough to be the child of two very evil Nazi parents. Anya counts as well, although she has a darker side she was technically a Serial Killer, although all her victims were Nazi officers and the like it's hard to say what she did was a bad thing |

Haruka Kotoura of Kotoura-san is an excellent example of a NG character facing an Untrusting Community. In her rather depressing backstory, she was born with always-on Telepathy making her an Innocently Insensitive Living Lie Detector in a Crapsaccharine World where Tatemae is a dominant concept, which she is unable to use herself since speech and thought are essentially the same to her. Her classmates soon figured out she has Telepathy, so they unsympathetically outcasted her for being a "compulsive liar" and a "monster". As a result, she soon develops a "jerkass act" that is the epitome of True Neutral as an emotional defense. Fortunately, Haruka develops back into a Neutral Good over the course of the story because deep down, she is a classic Moe sweetheart who wants to do no wrong unto others. | |

The Princess' Guard in Dark Souls is the covenant of Gwynevere, Princess of Sunlight. Those who are a part of this covenant are guardians who will stop at nothing to protect Gwynevere, believed to be one of the last remaining Deities in Anor Londo. They also seek to aid one another and are specialists in healing. | |

You become this in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey if you choose to pursue the Neutral path. Unlike other games with a Law/Neutral/Chaos system, which relegate you to Omnicidal Neutral if you reject Law and Chaos, Strange Journey has you dismissing the forces of both Law and Chaos not to kill everything and become the new ruler, but to liberate humanity from the Schwarzwelt. In fact, not going Neutral causes you to enable the mass brainwashing of humanity, either into eternal worshippers or beastly savages, actions that are pretty insane by the series' standards. Taking Neutral means you restore the Earth and, more importantly, spread the lessons you learned in the Schwarzwelt to ensure humanity doesn't trigger another such calamity. The Updated Re Release Redux on the other hand finally gives Law and Chaos its Lawful Good and Chaotic Good time of day by having humanity live in a utopia with free will or a world with infinite possibilities while the neutral ending for once is the Bittersweet Ending as The Hero Space Marine must become immortal to wage a Forever War on the demons until humanity changes its ways to loosen their grip over them. Though the Space Marine is still Neutral Good in the new Neutral route. | |

Baldur's Gate: Imoen, the Player Character's cheerful, playful, good-hearted friend and surrogate little sister. Above all else, she joins the party to help her friend and sticks by them no matter what path they take but always encourages them that Good Feels Good and they shouldn't let the outside world or their Bhaalspawn heritage get in the way of being a good person. Jaheira, at least in the second game. The game labels her as True Neutral because that's the only alignment 2nd edition Druids were allowed to have, but in practice, she is a member of the Harpers (a Big Good organization in the setting) and always encourages the player to make positive changes to the world over negative ones. Valygar Corthala. Although he complains about how often people come to you expecting you to fix all their problems, he'll pitch in and do the right thing as readily as any Good-aligned party member — sometimes while still complaining about the problems everyone wants you to fix. |

If a Shin Megami Tensei game has a Neutral story branch, it's often presented as the morally best and most humanistic choice, even if it is often A Lighter Shade of Black at best. But in some games, Neutral is just outright written as a morally upstanding choice: You become this in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey if you choose to pursue the Neutral path. Unlike other games with a Law/Neutral/Chaos system, which relegate you to Omnicidal Neutral if you reject Law and Chaos, Strange Journey has you dismissing the forces of both Law and Chaos not to kill everything and become the new ruler, but to liberate humanity from the Schwarzwelt. In fact, not going Neutral causes you to enable the mass brainwashing of humanity, either into eternal worshippers or beastly savages, actions that are pretty insane by the series' standards.

Though the Space Marine is still Neutral Good in the new Neutral route. Shin Megami Tensei IV likewise sends you straight into this by choosing the Neutral Path, as you then are tasked with restoring Tokyo's hope; it's things as little as playing delivery boy or taking a couple of photos to remind an old woman of her past, or as big as stopping major demon summonings or saving the Fairy race from extinction. The end result has you become The Paragon for the entire city and an almost literal beacon of hope along with hidden allies Fujiwara and Skins. |

Kakashi in Naruto believes that breaking rules is bad, but not helping those close to you is worse, and tests all his potential students to see if they will disobey orders in order to help each other. He puts this into practice when, rather than immediately going off to his next mission as Tsunade orders, he goes to find Sasuke. In Kakashi Gaiden, it's noted that he started off as more Lawful Neutral, as a result of his father being ostracized for failing a mission, to save his friends — even by said friends — and committing suicide, but the Neutral Good Obito changed that. A good portion of the rising generation of ninjas is like this, as they typically abide by the rules, but are willing to disobey orders in order to accomplish what they consider important or help those they care about. Naruto is between this and a Chaotic Good. Because even though he breaks the rules, he still respects the shinobi way of learning, and when he does break the rules, it's either helping a friend or doing what's morally right. |

The Phantom is a strong proponent of order, law, and justice in his jungle and country, holding positions of authority and making sure criminals get not only caught but tried properly whenever possible. However, when he's out fighting bad guys by himself, he takes a rather straightforward approach to things and habitually uses his ninja-esque skills to evade, disable, or bypass guards and officers of the law, who tend to find him suspicious for understandable reasons. He also makes a habit of intimidating his way past "no dogs allowed" restrictions, pointing out that it's a wolf, not a dog. | |

The Flash family covers the whole "Good" alignment axis, with Wally West holding down the Neutral Good fort. Wally's got one of the least complicated origin stories of his generation of superheroes — he got superpowers and decided he'd use them to help people. While he set out to work within the framework of law and order set by his mentor, Barry Allen, and is generally respectful of the laws of the land, he wasn't opposed to stepping outside of that framework when circumstances supported it and has worked with his baddies to achieve a common goal, befriended a (not particularly evil) super-villain or two, and joined a Black Ops group when he thought it would serve the greater good. | |

RWBY: The titular Team RWBY and their allies are largely this: their first and last goal is protecting innocent peole from the Creatures of Grimm, or any other threat to innocent lives, and they will work within larger systems or defy them as necessary to pursue that goal. Though they always try to go through the proper channels first, they seldom hesitate to default to rule-breaking when that doesn't work. Best exemplified in Volume 7 when they find themselves caught between the Lawful Neutral General Ironwood and the Chaotic Good Robyn Hill, and try to act as mediators to get them on the same side, which works until Ironwood's fear of Salem pushes him to evil. | |

Dragon Ball: Goku, full stop, at least as an adult, what with being the nicest guy in the universe and all. This is almost summarized in Episode 130 of Dragon Ball Super, when he confronts Jiren (and after Jiren almost kills his teammates): His first son, Gohan, takes after him, becoming the single kindest character in Dragon Ball Z (unless he gets VERY angry). Gohan even creates two superhero identities to solve crimes just because he has the power to do so and thinks it's the right thing to do. This is in stark contrast to the other members of the Dragon Team, who only become active when the Earth is threatened. Although once he becomes an adult and is busy doing work, Gohan falls into the same mold as the others, if not even more, to the point that he almost appears to be True Neutral at times. |

Harry Potter: This is the default alignment of Gryffindor House, with its defining traits being courage and chivalry. While they may be respectful towards rules and authority, it never overrides their obligation to do the right thing. Lawful Good and Chaotic Good characters are also seen in the house, but they often gravitate towards this alignment over time. Harry Potter possesses a great capacity for love and faith in his friends. He willingly consults authority figures for help and advice but isn't afraid to subvert them to do what he believes is the right thing (which may or may not be because different authority figures are wrongly persecuting him half the time). Dumbledore also exhibits this alignment as well. He maintains firm discipline at Hogwarts and insists on certain behaviors from students. For example, when he needs Harry to do something while Harry is scheduled for detention, Dumbledore reschedules the detention instead of simply canceling it. At the same time, Dumbledore does subvert — or outright ignores — the rules (especially those of the Ministry of Magic) if they get in the way of defeating Voldemort. Dumbledore is revealed to be Chaotic Good later in the series when details of his past are revealed and his motives come to light. Due to his great age, wisdom, and intelligence, however, his form of Chaotic Good is much more cerebral than usual depictions. Hermione Granger, while she has great respect for rules and authority and starts off the series as a Lawful Good, is willing to bend the rules to do the right thing and save lives — though she doesn't feel good about going against rules. Fleur Delacour/Weasley fits here too, even if she has a problem with vanity. |

Danny "Sexbang" Avidan of Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps, fame very often serves as the calming, good-natured co-host towards Chaotic Good Arin Hanson. Danny is usually the voice of reason, especially when Arin goes off on one of his temper tantrums (which is often). You can always rely on Danny, to provide at least some explanation towards their antics. But sometimes, even he can't make-up what insanity befalls before them...poor guy. | |

Lu-Tze of Discworld hangs someplace between this and Chaotic Good.

Total Drama has several contestants who embody this alignment: Gwen is the mild Anti-Hero version. She displays an antisocial attitude toward others and prefers to be by herself. Despite her cold, harsh attitude, Gwen is a good person but is rather suspicious and cautious about whom she lets into her life. Eventually, she manages to open up and make friends with the others, thanks to the efforts of those who truly care about her. Owen fits this quite well. Due to his All-Loving Hero traits, he manages to befriend nearly every contestant he has competed with, due to his friendliness and lack of unlikable characteristics. He is optimistic towards everyone he encounters, even those deemed unsociable, and struck good terms with them. Mike is one of the altruistic contestants to the point where he actually deeply cares for his alters despite finding them troublesome, often unpredictable behavior, as well as his crush Zoey. His biography implies that he may volunteer to help other people, and develops positive relationships with them. This alignment applies to Zoey as well, being an optimistic, kind-hearted girl who is easy to get along with. She is extremely protective of her friends and her boyfriend Mike, with who she falls in love with even with the knowledge of his multiple personalities. Cameron also fits. As a very good-natured contestant, he cares deeply for others to the point where in the finale of Revenge of the Island, he cannot bring himself to watch his friends getting attacked by mutants and tries to help them while having to fend off attacks from Lightning. Shawn started off as Chaotic Neutral, as his fear is so intense that he will become nervous the very moment one seems to be around, sometimes retreat without investigating fully, and even neglect to think about his own feelings or those of others. In fact, he would abandon them in favor of protecting himself. However, he walks to the Neutral Good path as the show progresses, after his cowardice costs him his relationship with Jasmine, which lets him learn that there is more to life than ensuring his own survival against the zombie apocalypse. Following this incident, he becomes more selfless and will be more willing to protect others from danger in addition to himself. |

The main character from Hayate the Combat Butler. Not only is he suicidally devoted to anybody who happens to need his help, he also took care of his deadbeat parents as a child instead of running away like a sensible person. He tries to be Lawful Good, but his use of chaotic and pragmatic means to do goodness places him here, like how Maria gives Hayate one million yen to go live outside the mansion for three days after Nagi kicked him out for embarrassing him. Instead of doing that, he uses that money to help people in need, leaving him broke. He's also concerned about his own freedom, which is the main reason why he hired himself as Nagi's Battle Butler so he could pay off his debt and be free of it. He's not battling injustice or upholding the law; he's doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing. | |

Tim Drake initially came off as this when he became the third Robin. Although he had lost his mother to a criminal (who also severely injured his father), revenge and punishment has never been his motivation. He became Robin because Batman needed a Robin to save him from his own darkness. Jason Todd had been dead for several years now, Dick Grayson was firmly established as Nightwing, and he was the only one with the skills and motivation to fill the void. Tim is one of the few people who Batman feels will eventually surpass his teachings and actually improve on his crimefighting methods. The other is Dick Grayson himself, who also falls into this alignment. | |

Most of the protagonists in Soul Nomad & the World Eaters are probably neutral good, helping people for their own sake and wanting to save the world for the good of all... Barring Gig, of course, who'd rather burn what's left down to the ground and do a funny little dance on the ashes. | |

It's not hard to find a character in Black Bullet who fits this alignment, but the most noticeable examples include Rentaro Satomi (especially during the Fugitive arch), Enju Aihara (a Nice Girl who is mostly ostracized by society), and even Tina Sprout (the antagonist of volume 2, but still fits this bill since she was an assassin who'd show hesitation to kill and is generally a Nice Girl). | |

Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords give most of the senior Jedi this alignment. While it frees them to do as they think best, it can also leave them wondering what to do in a situation. Carth Onasi explains the difference between a warrior and a soldier: "Warriors attack and conquer, they prey on the weak. Soldiers defend and protect the innocent — usually from warriors." Carth is Lawful Good, but this spells out a Neutral Good philosophy just as well. |

Liar Game: Nao Kanzaki is about as Neutral Good as it gets — yes, she'll trick people, but only if they don't trust her enough to believe that she's really looking out for them. And she is — she pays off all her opponents' debts after beating them, even though this will almost certainly leave her with an unpayable (in the 'billions of yen' range) debt at the Liar Game Tournament's end. | |

The Followers of the Apocalypse from Fallout: New Vegas qualify as this. They are mainly interested in improving the quality of life for everyone in the Wasteland. They find the strict laws and rules of the NCR to be oppressive and often work against their interests, but they aren't rebellious enough to be Chaotic Good. | |

Kurogane of Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- . He'd be Lawful Good were it not for his fiercely individualistic streak and bucking the curse placed on him to not fight, but would be Chaotic Good were it not for his devotion to the well-being of his liege Princess Tomoyo and native country. Syaoran also belongs here or at least whichever one is active in the party at any point during the series, as demonstrated by actions like dropping out of an important race in order to save a fellow competitor in danger of getting killed. His more questionable deeds can be blamed on losing his "heart" and reverting to his basic programming or being trapped in a no-win situation made worse by his feelings for Sakura. |

Leliana in Dragon Age: Origins will often dance between this and Chaotic Good. She's a born-again follower of the Maker and the Chantry. She believes in doing good as it is the Maker's will, but she can't quite shake her roguish Chaotic Good or even Chaotic Neutral past. Whether she stays on the Neutral Good or goes back to her roguish Chaotic Good lifestyle depends on the player's actions and what is said to her through the course of the game, AKA whether or not she is hardened. Deconstructed with the Grey Wardens. They hold no allegiance towards any authority, will often volunteer former criminals in exchange for their freedom and/or life, and fight against the Always Chaotic Evil Darkspawns and for good in general. However, they are utterly devoted to the greater good, meaning that they will ignore personal liberties and disrupt order if it's necessary to achieve their goal. |

From Gundam AGE, Grodek Ainoa, the captain of the battleship Diva, surprisingly falls into this alignment rather than Lawful Good. His going against the incompetent federal authority in rescuing the civilians from a fallen colony immediately strips him of the lawful status. However, he descends into a True Neutral in Episode 15. | |

Pathfinder: Guardinals are renamed as "agathions" and represent a "peaceable kingdom" where everything fits into its natural place, taking animal forms based on the role they serve, and help the souls of the dead reach inner peace. In the culture of the Outer Planes, they also serve as mediators between the Lawful Good archons and Chaotic Good azatas and help the forces of the Upper Planes present a more or less unified front against evil. Neutral Good is the default alignment for angels, due to their commitment to the ideal of Good at all costs (although there are large minorities of Lawful Good and Chaotic Good angels as well). Sarenrae, the sun goddess, champions good above all other considerations, and embodies both the righteous crusader against evil and the welcoming hand extended to the needy and the repentant. Her followers are tasked with fighting evil where they find it, but to do without excesses of punishment or vengeance for their own sake and to never reject those who would turn away from wickedness. Shelyn, the other major Neutral Good deity, is the goddess of beauty, love, art, and music. |

BlazBlue's Litchi Faye-Ling is squarely on this alignment, as her concern is doing good and protecting and saving people, especially her lover Lotte Carmine. She's kind and motherly, with a strong distaste for shadiness and evil. And despite pulling a Face–Heel Turn and joining NOL, she still retains her kindness and goodness as shown by her comforting Carl (and calling out Relius), and is apparently not particularly enjoying her position, as she feels that she really has no other choice and wouldn't have joined if there was any other alternative to save herself and Lotte in such a short time. There's also Taokaka, who has a genuinely kind heart and is equally willing to follow or break rules, although some of her actions and beliefs make her fall into Stupid Good territory sometimes. Makoto is definitely of this alignment. Like Litchi, she's kind, friendly, and doesn't have a genuinely malicious bone in her body. However, if you make the mistake of threatening or harming her friends, she has no qualms about beating you into a mushy pulp. Also, she works as a mole in the NOL for Sector Seven, although this more out of loyalty to her friends than anything else. Finally, there's Ju bei, one of the legendary Six Heroes, Ragna's mentor and the strongest living thing on earth. However, unlike the previous entries, Jubei is a foul-mouthed and ill-tempered old Trickster Mentor, but he genuinely means well. Still the closest you can get for Big Good who knows what's at stake, though. Colonel Kagura Mutsuki of Blazblue: Chronophantasma, absolutely. As the leader of the largest, highest-ranked, and the only Duodecim family that aren't a bunch of Upper Class Twits or rigid Knight Templars, he's plotting a coup that would put Lord Tenjou's son as the Imperator, to make the world government less oppressive and more fair and noble. He's also a Reasonable Authority Figure and all-around Nice Guy... even if he is a bit of a skirt-chaser. |

The Stormlight Archive has various orders of the Knight Radiants who get special powers based on making and following Oaths. Windrunner Oaths about protecting others and Edgedancer Oaths about standing up for the forgotten are very much Neutral Good.

Vow of Nudity: Spectra is listed as this on her character sheet, mostly because she is so cosmically unlucky that she (justifiably) has very little faith in any system, from the societal ones that ruined her life to the natural ones that punish her every time she does anything to try and better her life. But she remains Good because, despite everything, she never stops trying to do the right thing, even after it inevitably blows up in her face and leaves things worse than if she hadn't done anything at all. | |

The Minutemen faction from Fallout 4 definitely fits this trope as they are pretty much the only faction that actively helps the common people in the Commonwealth, namely wastelanders of all walks of life, and are not affiliated with a particular faction. They ascribe to rebuilding the Commonwealth in the ways of pre-Great War America instead of the dreary aftermath that befell it. By the time the player character first meets the Minutemen, they are essentially on the brink of extinction due to being pinned down by raiders in a largely destroyed town. If the player character helps the Minutemen get back to prominence, he/she will eventually become the Big Good of the faction. | |

Shane Caxton from Black Lagoon. Yes. Black Lagoon. One of the few characters in there you can get sympathetic with. Sure, he would gladly take any order for his country, but he's a rather good, inspiring leader, and he would never, never harm innocents or let innocents (especially children) get screwed up and is ready to take any consequences for that. And he's willing enough to trust a gun to a vengeful child whose father he had killed in the line of duty. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang, complete with Friend to All Living Things and All-Loving Hero, not to mention going against the evil government. Avatars in general seem to be Neutral Good by default. Iroh was once a Lawful Evil general, but ever since the Hundred Year War cost him his son's life, he's been clearly Neutral Good with his concern for balance and justice. The only reason he still wraps himself up in his dysfunctional family's morally repulsive messes is that he cares about his nephew Zuko, and even then, goes out of his way not to enable his toxic tendencies. After going through all neutral alignments (except for one) during the series first, Zuko finally ends up here, deciding that nothing else matters other than helping Aang defeat Ozai and start the Fire Nation's redemption. However, as the sequel book "The Promise" shows, he still struggles with working out what, exactly, counts as "good". In the sequel, Korra ends up here when she's had her Character Development and mellowed out from her angry, more Chaotic Good younger period — developing a willingness to negotiate with and spare her enemies, rather than defaulting to "beat the problem's ass until it goes away". Asami Sato also qualifies. She's been shown to work through legitimate institutions first and respects law and stability much more than Korra. She's also known to work alongside the new air nation, a prototypically Neutral Good faction. |

Commander (later Captain) Sisko in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is much more flexible with the rulebook than his immediate predecessor, Captain Picard. When the rules align with his sense of right and wrong, he'll dig in his heels to defend them, but when they become an obstacle to doing what's right, he seems to take a slightly perverse glee in stretching them to the breaking point or just tossing away the rulebook when necessary. From the same series, Doctor Bashir will use his medical knowledge to help anyone who needs it, be it a Federation ally or enemy. |

Somewhere between "Literature" and "Comics", there are the protagonists of the X-Wing Series. Wedge Antilles might seem Lawful Good, but will disobey orders, frequently faking interference, if he sees the need. He's a Mildly Military Maverick who gets enough success that the New Republic loves him. He also leaves the New Republic when he finds that the Rogues can't get back at a traitor due to diplomatic immunity, and all of his subordinates follow. | |

Endride: Demetrio and the Ignauts are very much Neutral Good, despite being a revolutionary army. It's lampshaded that, although they are clearly an unlawful force, they are not the Robin Hood-esque heroic bandits the protagonist assumes, but rather steadily building a militia that they hope to never seriously use (but will, if they have to). Their goal is to use their numbers to peacefully negotiate with the king to step down in order to protect society from being disrupted by violent conflict since they all have personal experience with being the "little guy." | |

Mordin Solus of Mass Effect 2 has the distinction of being a Neutral Good Well-Intentioned Extremist. Compassionate individual. Believes in helping all those in need. Also willing to Shoot the Dog if necessary, and has done so by upgrading Genophage. Believes action necessary. Feels immense guilt. Became doctor in Omega as result. To a lesser extent (and with more pronouns and articles) Commander Shepard, especially on the Paragon path. S/he routinely rejects laws that s/he finds to be immoral or unjust while upholding those s/he views as necessary. Possibly one of the best examples of this alignment would be Ashley. She's ultimately on the side of good, but also somewhat Hot-Blooded and isn't adverse to shooting first in order to end problems. This is best shown in how she will gun down Wrex if you don't talk him down on Virmire and when she pulls a gun on Shepard in the third when Udina claims that Shepard has come to assassinate the Council before Shepard explains that they are trying to stop an assassin sent by Udina himself as part of a coup. |

Forgotten Realms: Lathander is a Greater Deity whose portfolio encompasses athletes, birth, optimism, renewal, self-perfection, vitality, and the sun. The Harpers are a semi-secret organisation of do-gooders from all races and societies who work to preserve ancient relics, the balance between nature and civilization, and disrupt the plans of evil groups like the Zhentarim and the Red Wizards of Thay. What prevents them from going into lawful territory is that they do not disdain to lie, manipulate people and break the law to accomplish their missions. |

Sanger Zonvolt and Ratsel Feinschmeker from Super Robot Wars: Original Generation. They are not part of the Earth Federation Army officially, but will occasionally show up and help them. When they do, they do it with obedience to the rules and much badassery. Masaki Andoh and the rest of the Elemental Lords (Yang Long, Tytti, and Mio) also fit the bill. Technically, they abide by the laws of La Gias, but they are given special permission to break the law if they see the law straying from its path. Masaki only uses it once and that's not out of whim and dislike towards law. In the Original Generation series, Masaki does follow the rules nicely, though he's not part of the official EFA (he tends toget lost and be found nearby... and then tags along). |

Phineas and Ferb, alongside their friends Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford are very much the Passively Good variety. They are generally friendly, rule-abiding kids, but they do have a rebellious side, as evidenced by Phineas' building a machine that defies the law of gravity because "a universal law without hope of appeal" is "despotism", among other things. Beyond this, they have no inclination for blind obedience to authority, even if the authority in question is someone that they admire and respect — as their relationship with Candace shows. Their second-dimension counterparts had, but this was used as contrast and dropped after their exit from their house. They nevertheless bother to do things like getting building permits and obeying zoning laws, albeit often with Loophole Abuse. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Aric Jorgan, the first companion for a Republic Trooper Player Character. He dislikes bravado/greedy behavior, and Knight Templar/ Just Following Orders mindsets, equally. Considering that most everyone in The Republic is repeatedly Shooting The Dog, corrupt, or secretly working for The Empire, this says a lot about his character. Consular companions Felix Iresso and Nadia Grell also fall here. Felix is a laid-back grunt just glad to be where he can be useful and straddles the line between Neutral and Chaotic Good (it's revealed that he was a bit too lax with hierarchy and orders for Jorgan's taste). Nadia straddles the line between Neutral and Lawful Good, as she's a politician's daughter and nice. While she believes the law is right most of the time, she is just as quick to start an argument when she believes a law (such as the Jedi ban on attachment) is wrong. |

Gintoki from Gintama fits in this alignment. Usually, he is a useless lazy bum who is happy to go along with rules. However, he won't hesitate to break all rules and throw himself in fire when it comes to protecting those he cares about, whether it is his True Companions in danger or a child Gintoki promised to reunite with his mother. | |

Amane Kuzuryu from Devil Survivor: Overclocked is the one character in the game who always, in every case, fights for what she believes to be the best future for humanity. At first, she supports her father and the Shomonkai, then when his duplicity is revealed, she allies herself with Remiel and the Angels and tries to bring peace to humanity. However, in Naoya's Good 8th Day, she gives her allegiance to Abel even though the latter is fighting against God, because God and his angels have turned against humanity, and here she states that her only concern is the good of humankind. In the original game, she is implied to be Lawful Good instead, since the 8th Day scenarios were only added in Overclocked. | |

Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, seeing as they all but say his name when they describe Neutral Good in one of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbooks as "Serving kings and magistrates but not being beholden to them". Frodo Baggins also counts. What makes him neutral is that he wants to destroy the ring and go back to Hobbiton to live a peaceful life. What also makes him good is that he wants no one to carry his burden, and doesn't want them to be corrupted by the ring. |

This seems to be the default alignment for members of the Bat-Family. Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, and Tim Drake all potentially qualify, motivated mostly by a desire to help people. Some, though, tend to veer off elsewhere, as with Lawful Good Cassandra Cain, Chaotic Good Stephanie Brown, Chaotic Neutral post-Face–Heel Turn Jason Todd, and True Neutral / Chaotic Neutral Damien Wayne, and these ones tend to be noticeably more arms-length (and, coincidentally, are all the offspring of villains). Bats himself swings all over the Alignment scale (Depending on the Writer) but is generally considered either Lawful Good or Chaotic Good. | |

The Soul Drinkers Space Marines, who following a Gambit Pileup, became fed up to the back teeth with the Imperium and ended up declared Excommunicate Traitoris. They're mostly good guys, unusually compassionate for Space Marines (one of them notes that he feels more regret over killing a Guardsman now that he's holding the gun himself instead of using them as meat-shields) and are having trouble balancing their opposition to Imperial tyranny and its role in protecting people against Chaos. | |

Mario and Luigi of the Mario series aren't characterized enough to be considered Lawful or Chaotic, but they're undoubtedly heroes. It is evident that Mario has grown out of his previous shenanigans such as being the villain of Donkey Kong Junior when in the opening of Mario Tennis, he suggests "Hey, letsa all play!" after Mario and Luigi are confronted by their respective rivals, Wario and Waluigi then their archenemy Bowser and his minion Boo. They seem to choose peace when no one is in any real danger. | |

Oskar Schindler from Schindler's List, is a re-imagining of the real Businessman, who spared and saved many lives during the Holocaust. This version shows Schindler as an enterprising and successful factory owner. Over time, Schindler grew more and more concern, for the welfare of the Jewish community. He would go so far as to break the law and undermine the Nazis, if it meant saving a few workers. In the end, what Schindler sacrificed for his business, repaid in far much more, than even he didn't expect. | |

Mikiya Kokutou from The Garden of Sinners is the most compassionate and caring character in the story, who goes out of his way in his attempts to help even the worst psychopaths (which, accidentally, makes him irresistible to said psychopaths, his love interest Shiki being chief among them). In his pursuit of the others' happiness, he regularly disobeys explicit instructions and occasionally breaks the law, although he always views it as a necessary evil. | |

VEGA/ The Father of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal is a deconstruction of the All-Loving Hero archetype of this alignment. He loves all of His creations to a fault, to the point where he can't even bring Himself to smite the Satanic Archetype of the Doomiverse. Instead, he opts to merely imprison him, even if it would have been easier on the rest of the universe to simply kill him. Because of this, He is indirectly responsible for the universe-wide demonic invasion that took place back in Doom. | |

Of course, Gundam has characters in this alignment.

Touta Matsuda from Death Note arguably falls into this category when he's not being Stupid Good. He's not driven to catch Kira because of the law, and at one point, it is no longer his job to do so; he intends to catch Kira because he wants to make his Lawful Good mentor Soichiro Yagami proud of him. He does also have a serious affinity for non-fatal shots, as mentioned in the description. | |

Rand al'Thor of The Wheel of Time, the hero capable of utilizing order or chaos to advance the side of right. He is ultimately devoted to "the Light" and spearheads the battle against the forces of the "Dark One." His overarching task through most of the series is to unite the various nations of the world under a single banner — his. He often acts as (and is seen as) a chaotic force, overthrowing established traditions and rules, being a usurper. However, when he gains control over a nation, be it by force or trickery, he quickly consolidates his power and brings the nation back under a lawful regime. His more lawful side is best demonstrated in Lord of Chaos when he stresses to the Aiel not to loot the newly conquered kingdom of Caemlyn, saying he wants to avoid anarchy and keep everything nice and lawful until he can put a ruler of his choice on the throne to govern for him. The Big Three (male) heroes all seem to be linked to one of the goods, although there's a good deal of ambiguity. Perrin, despite his "simple blacksmith" protests, seems very fond of an ordered society, which dovetails in nicely with the pack mentality of his old friends. Matt, of course, as the Loveable Rogue, would be the representative of chaos in the group, although this gets tempered quite a bit as the series goes on. |

Captain Kirk of Star Trek: The Original Series has just enough respect for the Federation to not violate its laws unless he has a damn good reason, as he understands it's probably the best government out there. In his later days, particularly in the movies, Spock tends to flow a bit into this as well, actually allowing emotion in order to quell his internal conflicts. In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, when Kirk and McCoy are convicted for Klingon Chancellor Gorkon's assassination, Spock defies Starfleet orders so that he can investigate Gorkon's assassination and save Kirk and McCoy, telling his treacherous disciple Lt. Valeris that "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end". |

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness: Artina from the 4th game, being the "medic that treats all" type. As "Vulcanus, Thieving Angel" though, her actual alignment can be hard to get a bead on, as while she's still her old self underneath it all, she now charges money to demons for her services and steals, er, "repossesses" money from the Netherworld in the name of Celestia. However, it's mostly an act, as it was a Black Ops mission with the net objective of saving all three realms. | |

What about Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai's protagonist Sakuta Azusagawa? He's calm and serious, yet very compassionate Nice Guy with Chronic Hero Syndrome who helps everyone in need and can't say no; every arc of the series is based on a girl he helps by solving her so-called Adolescence Syndrome case. Still, he is rather indifferent to social conventions and simply cares about doing what's right, be it lawful or not. Mai, of course, counts as well. She's a kind, compassionate Nice Girl just like him, who cares about others; when Sakuta solves her issue, and people recognize her existence again, she helps him, telling in front of their school that the rumours about Sakuta being a violent delinquent are fake, and also suddenly starts helping Sakuta's little sister Kaede, who is a Hikikomori. She helps Sakuta solve every case of the Syndrome, until the end where she decides to be killed, hit by a car, instead of him and Shoko, saving both of them. To be fair, as this is a rather idealistic series, practically every character is a Nice Guy who fits this alignment. Shoko, Rio, Kaede, Nodoka, Tomoe and Yuuma all would fit. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Daenerys Targaryen is concerned with being a good monarch and with her followers' well-being, whether that entails sticking to her moral code or leading a slave revolt. Though her methods are rather bloody, Daenerys has noble intentions, wants to make the world a better place, and is clearly good by the standards of the setting. Daenerys is more clearly a Neutral Good in the HBO adaptation. Jon Snow. He wants to be Lawful Good like his now deceased father and has a lot of qualities from him, but will bend rules and go against tradition when necessary to do the right thing. Jon is of the heroic variety, has a good moral compass, is noble-hearted and his main concern is protecting the innocent and saving lives, doing his best to uphold his duty. Jon is also a Neutral Good in the HBO adaptation as well. |

Pathfinder: Kingmaker: Tristian is Neutral good. He is a cleric of Sarenrae (see Tabletop Games), the goddess of light and redemption, and always supports solutions that harm the least amount of people, increases the public good, and offers second chances to those who seem genuinely repentant. That said, he's also uncannily good at reading faces and will usually tell you if someone is genuinely repentant or just says they're repentant to avoid punishment. As it later turns out, his true nature means his personality is in-born rather than a choice made freely. | |

China and Taiwan from Hetalia.

Viet is the Cool Big Sis of the Asians, while Thailand is very much a Nice Guy but it seems he may not be above tricking people to get what he wants and needs. Lithuania, Canada, and Finland, too.

Touhou Project has 2 characters that exemplify Neutral Goodness: Keine Kamishirasawa and Byakuren Hijiri. The former isn't afraid to fight Reimu to protect her people, and Reimu is the de-facto pillar of order in Gensokyo. The latter is the Messianic Archetype for the Youkai in Gensokyo, despite being a human. Both of them (especially Byakuren) pay dearly for their ideals. | |

Final Fantasy: The producers seem to like making the heroes follow the middle path in most games, regardless of lawful or chaotic influences. Recent installments have even gone as far as making the Warrior(s) of Light become the Warrior(s) of Darkness if it means maintaining the middle path. In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart are the ones who actually fit this alignment (though Cloud pretends to be True Neutral at the beginning). Aerith and Red XIII are Lawful Good, while the other members of AVALANCHE are globally Chaotic Good (and some even have shades of Chaotic Neutral). Auron from Final Fantasy X is like this after rethinking his worldview after his pilgrimage with Braska and his death, being willing to help protect Yuna regardless of what that requires. "We will protect Yuna from anyone, even a Maester". Rikku probably belongs here as well, as her primary goal is to save lives and although she's perfectly willing to disregard the laws of Spira to do it she's more motivated by pragmatism than rebelliousness. Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning and Sazh both have someone they want to save and reunite with (Serah and Dajh, respectively), and they'll do whatever they have to in order to bring that about. Vanille just wants to do good by the people she has (inadvertently) wronged, and unconditionally tries to help them save Cocoon. Hope just wants to survive and (in later parts of the game) help everyone else save Cocoon, without being a burden. Snow and Fang lean more into Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral, respectively. Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics is perhaps the purest example of this trope in Final Fantasy, even more so because he lives in a World Half Empty where almost nobody else believes in honesty or honor. Even when he knows that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, he's still going to save his sister, stop the world from being destroyed...and do it without making any sacrifices or compromising himself. |

Timmy Turner of The Fairly OddParents!. Especially during the 4th and 5th seasons, Timmy would at least try to do the right things even if they were occasionally against the rules. One example is the TV movie "Abra Castastrophe" where he reveals Cosmo and Wanda's existence to his parents and Mr. Crocker. Revealing them is against the rules, but it freed them from Crocker's clutches. Another example is the "Wishology Trilogy" where he bribes Vicky, his evil babysitter and one of his enemies, to save the lives of his family, friends, and indeed the universe. | |

Kimagure Orange Road has its heroine Madoka Ayukawa. She's very selfless, and usually polite and serious, though she starts out as a bit rough but if she has to save others from bad guys, she reveals to be a real fighter, tends towards Chaotic Good. | |

Civil War (2006) more or less locked Captain America into Neutral Good, though some would still argue he's Lawful Good. Considering that he has twice given up his name because he disagreed with the actions of the American government, there's definitely an argument that he's been Neutral Good for a long time. Simultaneously, Tony Stark, who had long been more of a Millionaire Playboy hero that did what he felt was right, became Lawful Good / Lawful Stupid at the same time. | |

Teen Titans: Robin tries to be Lawful Good, but his willingness to use chaotic and occasionally morally ambiguous means if he feels the situation demands it probably shifts him more to here particularly when Slade is involved. Starfire (who is very lawful in some respects and very chaotic in others) and Raven may also fit here. Perhaps the truest representation in the main Titans Team is Beast Boy. Sometimes he can come off as Chaotic Good, but that has more to do with his status as the team's Wacky Guy. When you get right down to his motivations he does what he does because it is right. |

Jade Empire: Dawn Star. She is kind, shy, and VERY high up on the Open Palm side of the Karma Meter. She is the first to cheer when your character does something selfless. She respects the law of nature, but the Empire? Not so much. Yes, you CAN corrupt her when you play Closed Fist. From the same game, Henpecked Hou. Generally nice guy, doesn't much care one way or another about the forces of Order and Chaos but finds Closed Fist actions pretty questionable. |

Jim Hawkings of Outlaw Star. Despite his age, he's the most mature and responsible member of the group, being the one who handles all of the cash, finds jobs for them, pays the bills, and otherwise devotes himself to the exasperating task of organizing and caring for Chaotic Neutral slacker Gene Starwind. What keeps him from being Lawful Good is the fact that he's a Child Prodigy hacker who often uses his code-breaking skills in less-than-legal ways. | |

In the TRON universe, Lora Baines-Bradley, Roy Kleinberg, and their digital counterparts Yori and Ram, seem to fall here. They do have respect for order and law, but more respect for what's right. Lora is the one convincing Alan that they should warn Flynn about Dillinger, and spends her scene with the two of them trying to mediate between Alan's skepticism and Flynn's incessant trolling to get them on the same page. Roy is a quiet, unassuming guy who ends up being the primary motivator behind "Flynn Lives." He'll exhaust the legal and proper methods, and then get into the computer hacking. In a deleted scene, Yori pulls off a highly-illegal power transfer just to give her "husband" a properly sexy welcome home, but otherwise is a simulation debugger. Ram's not as driven to destroy Master Control, as he just wants to get back to his job calculating insurance rates. Even when he's de-rezzing, he's more focused on The Power of Friendship than anything else. Quorra in TRON: Legacy also fits here. Her youth and "more aggressive strategy" is a bit at odds with the elder Flynn's approach, but she is also much more reverent and orderly than Chaotic Good Sam. In the Alternate Continuity of Tron 2.0, Jet also qualifies. He's been in some trouble with the law over unauthorized computer access, but cleaned up his act, enjoying his job building games. He's fairly laid back and easy-going, ("Life's short, Pop, I plan to enjoy it"), but will step up to heroic measures if pushed into it by circumstance. ("People like me, we created this universe. We have a responsibility to keep it safe.") The newest hero in the franchise, Beck in TRON: Uprising, is also this alignment. What he's doing isn't lawful in the slightest, and he's ripping off his hero's identity to fight Tesler, but he's also the kind of guy who will spare the life of a defeated opponent and tries very hard to minimize casualties — enemy, ally, or civilian. |

Lycoris Recoil has its protagonist Chisato Nishikigi. She strives to be Lawful Good by demonstrating all the hallmarks of a breakaway benevolent entity with lawful ideals, sure, but at the end of the day what she does is following her conscience, and if the question is either To Be Lawful or Good, she'll choose to be good. Her ultimate goal as an All-Loving Hero is to maintain peace and help others no matter what. Her partner Takina also belongs here. She may appear True Neutral at first for her former cold and ruthless mindset, but especially after Character Development thanks to Chisato turns her into a nicer person, it's clear she wants to help others along with Chisato, and she resorts to non-lethal violence against enemies just like her. |

Mighty the Armadillo of the Sonic the Hedgehog series definitely fits this trope, and his Archie Comics adaptation might even be it's definitive example. The entire reason he was forced to fight Eggman in the first place during the comics was because his sister Matilda was kidnapped by his forces, and when Jack forces one of his troops to kill Mighty only for Matilda to step in and get severely injured instead... yeah, it does not end well for Jack at all. | |

Spider-Man. What sets him most into this area is his motivation: he's a good guy because his Uncle Ben would have wanted him to be a good guy. He's not battling injustice or upholding the law; he's doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing. He's willing to work with the authorities when they're willing to work with him, but his perpetual status as a Hero with Bad Publicity means that he's on the wrong side of the law as often as the other. | |

While most of her guildmates in Fairy Tail are Chaotic Good, Lucy is mostly likely Neutral Good. While she is as motivated by compassion and friendship as everyone else, she lacks the rowdy and anti-authoritarian spirit that is characteristic of chaotic alignments, thus she is also often her guild's Only Sane Man. | |

Clockwork from Danny Phantom. He alternates between breaking the rules and following them—the constant is that whatever course of action he takes is the one that is best for the time stream. However, he may come across as True Neutral or even Lawful Neutral, since his best interests (for the time stream) do not always coincide with the protagonists' best interests (for themselves and the people around them). | |

Warhammer 40,000: It's hard to believe that anyone in the setting could qualify as Neutral Good, but Captain Kayvaan Shrike of the Raven Guard Chapter does. He takes Raven Guards he has trained, known as Shrike's Wing, and goes on campaigns of mercy to rescue civilians that other Imperial commanders have given up on. Certain elements of the Inquisition, believe it or not, although they're not exactly shy about it. In particular, the stereotype of the Ordo Xenos, as opposed to the Ordos Hereticus and Malleus, is very much focused on the safety of the Imperium first, ideological disputes a very distant second. (It helps that, while Hereticus Inquisitors can fall to Chaos and Malleus Inquisitors sometimes are tempted by demons, it's very rare for Xenos Inquisitors to be corrupted by aliens.) The Amaltheans are also dedicated to a process of gradual improvement, keeping Imperial tradition and structure where it works and correcting it when it fails, rather than the strictures of Puritan or Radical thought. |

Transformers: Animated: Bumblebee. Early in life he badly wanted to train for the Elite Guard, a Lawful organisation. He was kicked out, but now he is still consistently good. While he has committed rash actions as a result of his disobedience, he has never obeyed orders to do bad things, nor has he had any desire to do bad things. Most other Hot Rod/Hot Shots fall under this or Chaotic Good. |

Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima becomes this throughout the story. Very often, Jin is forced to go against his Samurai teachings, resorting to vicious, underhanded tactics just to stave off the Mongols. Even when his actions get put into question, Jin justifies that he's saving more lives this way. Ironically, the young lord is right, yet it goes against the Samurai code. Regardless how ineffective, it was proven otherwise. | |

Daniel Vinyard, main protagonist of Exit Fate, is a good example since he in many cases directly disobeys his leaders (although he still respects them) when he thinks that their actions are against his moral principles most notably and awesomely at the end of Chapter 5, when he goes between his superior's and the enemy army in order to end the way. This is because he has had a spirit, the Hand of Fate, summoned into him since before his birth to shape him into a leader to unite the various fragmented countries and end their petty infighting. | |

Auron from Final Fantasy X is like this after rethinking his worldview after his pilgrimage with Braska and his death, being willing to help protect Yuna regardless of what that requires. "We will protect Yuna from anyone, even a Maester". Rikku probably belongs here as well, as her primary goal is to save lives and although she's perfectly willing to disregard the laws of Spira to do it she's more motivated by pragmatism than rebelliousness. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy isn't afraid of breaking rules if it is for the greater good but doesn't rock the boat unless she has to and is polite and generally respectful of the existing social order. Occasionally veers into Stupid Good. Princess Celestia is the one who makes the rules and governs the kingdom, yet has shown a sly disrespect for both said rules and the ruling class probably. She is emphatic towards others and loving towards those close to her, and, while she is willing to step outside the rules when this promotes the greater good, she understands that her position does not itself make her exempt from social systems and her greatest fear is turning into an unchecked, Chaotic Evil madwoman. She boasts massive patience and wishes all her enemies redeemed, yet responds decisively to evil and selfishness. Starlight Glimmer bounces across the entire alignment spectrum, starting off as Lawful Evil or Lawful Neutral, bouncing into Chaotic Evil or Neutral, bouncing back towards Lawful Neutral or Good, then skewing back towards Chaotic again. By the end of the series, she's this, fond of harmony and order while quick to pursue chaotic means to get there, and dedicated to good and selfless goals. |

While she's normally a Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil Eco-Terrorist, the 2015 version of her is basically a Friend to All Living Things, and while she still creates weird plant creatures, it's never in order to hurt people, and more to serve as her pets and the like. | |

Most of the heroes in Child of the Storm: The Avengers, who are noted to follow the law when they think it is right, and ignore it completely when they think it is not - though the Avengers bob around towards the darker end of the border between this and Chaotic Good as they also ignore laws when it is merely convenient. Harry Thorson, the story's chief protagonist, starts out as a Passive example, before shifting hard to the darker end of Chaotic Good after a Trauma Conga Line early in the sequel, and finally settling back onto an Active example of this after becoming a Knight of Faith (albeit of the less obedient sort). Most of his friends, Uhtred (Harry's Oathman who takes his duties very seriously), excepted, lean towards this. The divide is between Active (his outside-of-Hogwarts friends) and Passive (his Hogwarts friends - though Harry stops them when they try to become Active in the sequel because he wants to protect them). Jean Grey and Clark Kent, both generally noted to be among the purest and sweetest characters in the series, qualify as this because of their sweetness and light, but for different specific reasons. Jean is preoccupied with doing good, primarily by looking after and protecting those around her, and is generally a well-behaved and rule-abiding young woman. She also threatens to dismantle SHIELD if they even blink the wrong way at Harry, her cousin and little brother substitute, or Maddie, her stolen at birth twin sister. Clark is preoccupied with keeping his head down, but compulsively helps people, even at the cost of routinely breaking and entering to get information, and routinely performing acts of vigilantism. |

He's intelligent enough to question many of the orders that he's been given and eventually defect from UNATCO, but only does so after it's clear that he has no other choice, and otherwise is supportive of the idea of democratic government. Nicely summed up in the following quote. | |

Star Wars Rebels: The crew of the Ghost are, sure enough, outlaws, do things that could count as acts of terrorism, and make deals with other criminal organizations. But the government they're up against is the Sith-ruled Empire, who deliberately do much more heinous acts with government sanctioning, plus the Rebels will take their time to help people who are oppressed by the Imperials. | |

Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin of The Wire. He generally follows the rules, but as is shown in the "Hamsterdam" arc is willing to break them when he thinks they are counterproductive to the goal of helping the people he serves and making Baltimore a better place. Lester Freamon likely fits here as well, as while he's almost as willing to break police department rules as Jimmy McNulty, he generally does so only when he perceives it to be the best way to accomplish his goals. | |

God Hand: What prevents Gene from being True Neutral is that, beneath his snarky and indifferent exterior, he genuinely does care for the wellbeing of the people who get harassed by the demons, as seen in his flashback sequence when he attempted to save Olivia from getting her arm amputated, only for his own arm to get amputated instead. What prevents him from being Chaotic Good instead is that because they live in a post-apocalyptic Crapsack World, there doesn't seem to be any law to begin with. Olivia is also this alignment, though, unlike Gene, it's mainly because she doesn't have as much screentime as her companion and is, therefore, less characterized. All that we know about her is that she is using Gene to defend humanity with the power of the God Hands. Yes, "using" is used correctly here. |

Most Suikoden characters fall into the Trifecta of Good Alignments, but Thomas from Suikoden III is without a doubt an excellent example of Neutral Good. He's a sweet-hearted guy who stands up for another person without even asking what's going on, and is primarily focused on creating a place where everyone can get along. The poor kid tends to lean towards Stupid Good at times. | |

Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games is a more cynical Passive Good. Her main goal is to help her family, and during the actual games, she's more focused on helping her friends than killing her opponents — only resorting to slaughter when somebody she loves is in serious danger, and there's absolutely no other option to save the person. However, she also shows a clear distrust for other people and willingly avoids things like political conflict and revolution, instead choosing to concern herself more with the well-being of her friends and family. | |

Starman (DC Comics): Jack Knight, the protagonist of this acclaimed comic book, starts more or less as Chaotic Good. He is the somewhat rebellious son of a Golden Age superhero who agrees to continue his father's legacy, but on his own terms. He is kind-hearted and loves Opal City, but he is also a tattooed Deadpan Snarker who thinks of himself as being a bit too cool for tights and codenames, and proudly claims he never got along with cops. Gradually, he comes to respect the Starman legacy more and more, and fully switches to Neutral Good when he befriends the O'Dare family, a clan of Opal City cops. From this point on, Jack works in partnership with the police whenever he needs to. | |

Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics is perhaps the purest example of this trope in Final Fantasy, even more so because he lives in a World Half Empty where almost nobody else believes in honesty or honor. Even when he knows that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, he's still going to save his sister, stop the world from being destroyed...and do it without making any sacrifices or compromising himself. | |

Most of the characters on ER are of this alignment. In fact, the show seems to go out of its way to praise those on the front lines who are willing to bend or break the rules when required in order to get a decent outcome, while portraying the more Lawful administrators as pigheaded Jerkasses. Conversely, more Chaotic characters, such as Doug Ross or Dave Malucci, tend to see their behaviour rebound catastrophically on themselves or, worse, others. | |

Sailor Moon and the inner Sailor Senshi from Sailor Moon are pretty much the definition of this trope.

The Paladins in Quest for Glory. Bluntly, the Karma Meter notion of Honor in the game is related to how much of a Nice Guy the hero is, and how in tune he is with the world's goodness. The way of the Paladin also explicitly states to break laws for the greater good. As Rakeesh puts it: "The way of the Paladin is to seek to know that which truly is. The Paladin strives to learn his own inner nature and that of others. The Paladin does whatever needs to be done to bring light to the world. Not for glory, not for gain, the Paladin Becomes a Paladin because it is his Will." | |

Warrior Cats: Firestar, the protagonist of the first series. He takes the Warrior Code seriously and believes it is essential for any Clan cat to know it and follow it, but he's ultimately willing to skirt around it if he feels it's getting in the way of doing the most morally correct thing. He's often called out by other characters for only following the Code when it suits him as a result; however, one of the points the books' authors are trying to make is that the Warrior Code isn't always right. The protagonists of the following series, most of which are descendants of Firestar, tend to follow in his pawsteps. | |

Most of the main protagonists of Once Upon a Time. Emma Swan is the town sheriff but is perfectly willing to do unlawful things like breaking and entering to do what she thinks is right. Her mother Snow White is a princess and ruler but also spent time as a Robin Hood-like bandit while on the run from the Evil Queen. Her father Prince Charming fights for his "father" King George but later starts a rebellion against him.

Emmet in The LEGO Movie. The antagonist wants law and order, the other heroes are freedom fighters, but Emmet is just some everyman. He enjoys living in an orderly world but is ready to trade it in when he realises the sinister machinations behind his neat and tidy existence. His alignment is also helpful in the scene where the Master Builders are trying to build a submarine, but because they come from different sets, are unable to work together. Emmet's by-the-book attitude is what ultimately saves them. | |

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Claude fits into this alignment regardless of what route is taken. While he's willing to work with authority figures from the Church of Seiros to fight a common threat (such as Edelgard and "those who slither in the dark" if his route is chosen), he's not above bending several of the Church's rules and teachings to do what is best for the people of Fódlan, even willing to give up control of the Alliance to other lords in the other routes if they can achieve his dreams and prove themselves to be better rulers than him. One of his main goals and ambitions is to break the Church's policy of isolationism and open Fódlan to the outside world of trade and culture and exposing the secrets of the Church. In particular, as a half-Almyran, he wants to bring the people of Fódlan and Almyra together despite their mutual distrust of each other and thaw the tensions between Fódlan and Almyra. At the end of the Verdant Wind route, Claude leaves Fódlan to take leadership and throne of Almyra, and both Fódlan and Almyra enter a golden age with Byleth taking over as the new ruler of a united Fódlan. While the Church is still intact, the Church's influence in Fódlan is diminished thanks to the internal reforms of the church. | |

That said, Bob has far too great a love of boring stability to be called an anarchist by anyone but Jerry. Mostly, he just tries to be decent to people, help them out of jams... and occasionally prevent horrible world-shattering catastrophes if it seems like nobody else is going to do it. When Jean calls him on basically stealing a bunch of sentient alien jewels to free them, Bob invokes the Constitution: | |

The world of Tekken may have taken a dive in Darker and Edgier turn, but King II remains true to his personality as an orphanage owner, Friend to All Children, and is still a generally positive Nice Guy who doesn't tolerate evil (in Scenario Campaigns, he clearly does not approve both Jin and Kazuya for their World War III attempts), and can be genuinely forgiving, even if you committed a very personal crime to him (as Marduk can attest). Julia Chang can also count with her dedication to save nature and still a pretty decent girl overall. | |

Negi Springfield from Negima! Magister Negi Magi, a cute ten-year-old Chick Magnet and descendant of an exceptionally powerful wizard who's devoted to protecting all of his 31 students (who all happen to be cute in their own special way). While he generally tries to act like a proper Welsh gentleman, he consistently defies orders even if given direct orders to stop one of his students' plans, much less uphold the Masquerade of keeping magic secret, he will instantly and without hesitation break every rule if it so much as gets in the way of his students having fun, never mind when they are in actual danger. It's especially evident when he chooses to learn forbidden Black Magic if only to protect those around him. | |

Also, Kaylee and Wash from the same show, though they may have chaotic good leanings. They are just generally good, happy (for the most part) people who always try to do what they believe is right. They are also the two least violent people in the show, making them Technical Pacifist. |

Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning and Sazh both have someone they want to save and reunite with (Serah and Dajh, respectively), and they'll do whatever they have to in order to bring that about. Vanille just wants to do good by the people she has (inadvertently) wronged, and unconditionally tries to help them save Cocoon. Hope just wants to survive and (in later parts of the game) help everyone else save Cocoon, without being a burden. Snow and Fang lean more into Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral, respectively. | |

His first son, Gohan, takes after him, becoming the single kindest character in Dragon Ball Z (unless he gets VERY angry). Gohan even creates two superhero identities to solve crimes just because he has the power to do so and thinks it's the right thing to do. This is in stark contrast to the other members of the Dragon Team, who only become active when the Earth is threatened. Although once he becomes an adult and is busy doing work, Gohan falls into the same mold as the others, if not even more, to the point that he almost appears to be True Neutral at times. | |

In his later days, particularly in the movies, Spock tends to flow a bit into this as well, actually allowing emotion in order to quell his internal conflicts. In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, when Kirk and McCoy are convicted for Klingon Chancellor Gorkon's assassination, Spock defies Starfleet orders so that he can investigate Gorkon's assassination and save Kirk and McCoy, telling his treacherous disciple Lt. Valeris that "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end". | |

Sword Art Online's main protagonist Kirito, a Nice Guy with Chronic Hero Syndrome who is willing to help others in need fits into this bill. There are times he is willing to break the rules or damage his own reputation to do what is right, but he is willing to work with Reasonable Authority Figures to investigate certain incidents. | |

Sherlock Holmes (interestingly enough, given his personality) fits this trope to a T: while he dedicates most of his life to upholding law and order, he cheerfully and enthusiastically breaks it when it gets in the way of doing what he thinks is right. | |

MacGyver: He works for the government during the first season and for a government contractor for the other six, will work with the authorities, and follows the law whenever possible (whether he's on assignment or just helping out people on his own time), would much rather see criminals locked up and tried than take any drastic measures, and unlike the A-Team or some other heroes from the same era, takes no particular pleasure in sticking it to the man. But he's been around long enough to know that the authorities are no more immune to corruption and abuse of power than anyone else, and he'll absolutely break the rules if he doesn't see another way of getting a just result. The most egregious case came in the season 5 finale when he broke out of jury lockdown to personally investigate a case that had become so politicized, controversial, and mishandled that there was no other way for him to get a clear picture of what was happening. By contrast, while he will break the law if he feels the need, his most deeply held personal convictions — against guns and killing, in particular — are "rules" he will absolutely never break, come hell or high water. | |

Merlin from BBC's Merlin (2008) could classify as this type of character alignment. He is known to be a genuine, kind, heroic, and selfless individual. However, Merlin does become a bit of a darker character later on in the series. He could also be more of the Chaotic Good alignment. | |

Sora from Kingdom Hearts definitely fits into this alignment. His first concern is doing good and stopping Xehanort. He will work with the authorities of whatever world he finds himself in toward those goals if he can, but if that authority is either too incompetent to do anything, obstructive, or the source of the evil and darkness in the first place, Sora will ignore any laws and/or rules of said world and smash straight through that authority without a second thought. Sora also cares nothing for the rules of world non-interference if people are in trouble, but he won't reveal the fact that he's from another world if he doesn't have to either. | |

Jason Bourne from The Bourne Series. Originally a Neutral Evil black-ops agent, he got amnesia and upon discovering his ruthless past, spends his life on the run from the CIA, though still standing up to their more scrupulous, under-the-table dealings. | |

Rung in The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is a kindly, gentle soul, who's dedicated his life to helping others; he's not precisely nonviolent, but he clearly views it as the last option for more reasons than just his being bad at fighting. While he has his faults and his secrets - everyone on the Lost Light does - he's also the guy who comforts Fortress Maximus moments after Max had been holding him at gunpoint because he knows Max is severely traumatised and isn't responsible for his actions. He also lacks both Rodimus's freewheeling approach and Ultra Magnus's perpetual clench; his primary goal, almost all the time, is helping others. When they find that he's an amnesiac Primus, he gives his life to create the twelve Matrices that will save the day, and even knowing full well that this was going to be the end of him, his last act before that is to tell two people to forgive themselves and find peace, literally trying to help others right up to the end - and, afterwards, his death brings about the first new wave of living Cybertronians in a long time. | |

Metroid: Samus Aran probably falls here overall, as she has worked closely and obediently with the Galactic Federation in Prime 3 and most of Other M, but she's a Bounty Hunter so that she can be free to tell the Federation to sod off when they get evil, as was the case in the finales of Fusion or Other M. | |

Galaxy Rangers — Niko falls here. She's a little more willing to bend regulations and keep something quiet if speaking openly is going to harm someone, essentially splitting the difference between Lawful Good Zachary and Doc. | |

Both Dipper Pines and Mabel Pines, the main protagonists of Gravity Falls, are largely of this alignment, though Mabel veers more towards Chaotic Good and Dipper veers more towards Lawful Good. While always ready to help their friends, atone for their mistakes, or attempt to convert enemies, they don't have very clear codes of ethics and often break their word when it suits them. | |

Greyhawk: Pelor, the sun god, has a dual role as the protector of the meek and a crusader against evil without preference for order or chaos. Garl Glittergold, the god of the gnomes, is a watchful protector with a playful sense of humor. | |
