The Rebellious Spirit is an individual who has a beef with society. A large one. One large enough to make that person want to break all the rules, just because. Rebellious Spirits go beyond the stereotypical "rebellious teen" and include people who flagrantly violate rules and social norms, act eccentric or weird, and often don't care what people think about them. Sometimes they even lack normal friends and usually lack good posture. They may be Chaotic Good, Chaotic Neutral, or Chaotic Evil, but they are by definition chaotic. Note that this usually does not mean that the individual will lack their own rules; it's just that their rules tend to be different from those of everyone else in the given scenario. It will usually be everyone else's rules who this individual will be rebelling against, not their own. Someone who doesn't have rules at all, will probably be Chaotic Evil, or periodically do things purely For the Evulz in any case. Sometimes, this person is the Anti-Hero or even The Unfettered. Can often prove to be a Combat Pragmatist when the fighting starts. May feature in an All Girls Want Bad Boys plot. A character of this type can be interpreted to be the Ãœbermensch. Compare Cool People Rebel Against Authority. |

In Hercules the animated series, Electra and her associates are this, with Electra far beyond the others — we don't know why they're against Greek heroes or "the establishment" other than that they seem to be a Take That! at Goths and Hipsters. Electra is even worse since she can summon the Furies when she's upset, usually when someone disagrees with her views. | |

Sonic The Hedgehog is a downplayed example. He always lives by his own rules and disregards authority, particularly in some of the western-made continuities. However, in the main continuity, he never goes against the law for the heck of it, nor does he have a problem with society in general. | |

Naruto: Naruto Uzumaki hated the fact that his village ignored him. So what does he do? Defy all the rules and uses his ninja skills to play pranks on unsuspecting villagers/ninja (including the Hokage), his worst prank being when he defiled the somewhat sacred Hokage monument. Of course he gets more heroic as the series went on, but he still has a problem with authority, preferring to do things his own way instead of listening to his superiors. Considering his early experiences with adults, he can't really be blamed. | |

After joining Ash's team, Treecko still maintains a rebellious, aloof attitude but it eventually learns to loosen up a bit. | |

Ange from Cross Ange will ignore orders, question authority, take third options, break out any hostages you've taken, and defy you until the very end. In fact, characters who get along with her best, like Tusk, Hilda and Sala, are universally the ones who let her wild nature run riot and accept her "as is". And this is what the Big Bad Embryo seems to be utterly incapable of understanding in the Grand Finale: the more he imposes himself onto Ange, the stronger her will to resist him becomes. | |

Special Female Force: Cat is the most free spirit and spunky of the team, and actually joined the police force just so she could spite her sexist SDU boyfriend and show him that women can be capable officers. She also does all sorts of things the other girls find bold, such as randomly speaking in English, sleeping naked in their shared dorm room and being confrontational towards their rival team in the academy. | |

He turned out to be Properly Paranoid, but remains openly critical of others that don't want to fight the Titans head-on, and his career within the military is filled with him calling people cowards and challenging every social norm. | |

The Dresden Files has the titular Harry Dresden, who thoroughly enjoys thumbing his nose/snarking at any and every possible authority figure in range - something which he jokingly attributes to "having watched The Dukes of Hazzard at a formative age. It gets commented upon by other characters, and it's pointed out (and he eventually realises) that his instinctive rebellion against anything that might infringe on how he chooses to live his life is actually the cause of a lot of his problems. In time, he moderates this somewhat and points out to his apprentice, Molly, in Cold Days, that while the White Council (a Big Good of the Good Is Not Nice variety) should be stood up to and called to account at times, flipping them off for the sake of flipping them off is pointless and self-defeating in the long run. | |

In Discworld, the entire race of gnomes is reportedly made of this trope, happily trouncing all over even those rules which go without saying in normal society, like "Do not attempt to eat this giraffe". The Nac Mac Feegles (possibly a variety of gnome) happily rebel against any and all authority. Despite being Lawful Good in the extreme, Sam Vimes shows tendencies in this direction as well, even after becoming a Duke. This is probably why he employs at least one gnome - later revealed to be a Feegle raised by gnomes - in the Watch. |

Charlie of Dead Poets Society drifts into this sometimes; it's not as clear at the beginning, but by the time he nearly gets himself expelled for a prank he is showing more traits of this. When he actually does get expelled, though, it's a much more principled matter. | |

Which makes what she became between the end of ATLA and the time of The Legend of Korranote A police chief all the more ironic.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Emma Russell, and to a lesser extent Madison Russell, both have rebellious streaks. When things get serious, Madison doesn't hesitate to steal a keycard and defy a Monarch scientist's shouts, nevermind stealing the ORCA from a group of armed mercenaries whom are holding her under house arrest; and she makes her dislike of Jonah as clear as she can without getting herself into serious trouble when she's with him. Emma's bio reveals that she has a history as a maverick environmentalist who was arrested a few times, and she's willing to forego Monarch's legal efforts to combat the government and turn traitor to Monarch altogether as well as forsake most of her morality, if she thinks it'll stop the world from making a disastrous mistake and will make her son's death matter. | |

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString has the Rise Clan. They will not put up with anyone who exerts any sort of control over them, legal or otherwise, and do not care who knows it. They don't like the Followers of Zhen, whom they feel are chained to a useless restrictive dogma, and see The Riffriders clan as a group that is all talk and spends too much time having fun and not enough actually rebelling against things. The only reason other Rise members can put up with each other is that they all agree that control sucks and don't care what other Rise members, or anyone else for that matter, thinks of them. | |

Malcolm and his brothers from Malcolm in the Middle rebel against authority often because they think is fun, though there have been times where they rebel for good reasons. Francis was sent off to Military School for his behavior, and when Hal went to visit him, he told Francis how disappointed he was that he refused to change his ways. As they were saying their farewells, Francis confronted Commandant Spangler for chastising another student for having an untucked shirt, which happened after the young man hugged his father goodbye. Spangler then told Hal how Francis likes to cause trouble, listing several times Francis organized a series of non-violent acts of civil disobedience to protest the harsh punishments meted out to other students for minor grievances. When Francis tries to explain, Hal tells him to "shut up" and hugs him. Malcolm has rebelled against his school to protest some sort of inane rule, like how he created an independent student run literary magazine after a story that featured a number of swear words was rejected from the school's official magazine. Said story was about sexual-harassment. Dewey, after Malcolm had him accidentally transferred to the special-ed class, used his rebelliousness to get an actual curriculum aimed at special-ed students to be taught to his new class. |

Jack Random of the Deathstalker series is literally described as a "professional rebel." The same establishment has been his enemy through all his insurrections, but he takes it as his entire role in life. Eventually he successfully brought down his enemy and became a key leader in society's reformation... only to discover that the changes were too limited for his tastes. So he created an insurrection against the government he just helped found. His reasoning was that there should always be somebody to oppose the government lest it fall to evil. |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man is generally a rogue free spirit hero who defies the local authorities constantly and performs acts of vigilantism. He also generally scoffs at help and is a purely solo act hero contrasted to the Avengers. Nowadays, he's more mature and dedicated to working together with people and being more considerate of the law. | |

An episode of Timon & Pumbaa had the two undergo this so Pumbaa can escape a wedding. Surprisingly, the bride immediately falls for him. It was only after Pumbaa reveals he's always been a nice guy that she cancels the wedding. | |

In Shadowrun, this trope can be said to apply to most shadowrunners, i.e. Player Characters. Even amongst the misfit criminals-for-hire that are shadowrunners there are extremes; players with the "uncouth" drawback simulate characters so free-spirited they're unable to perform even basic human interaction properly and several shamanistic totems, especially the Adversary, encourage this kind of attitude in their shamans. | |

In The Supervillainy Saga by C.T. Phipps, this is the attitude of Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless: The Supervillain without Mercy. He constantly flouts the law, society, and its rules more or less because he can. Even the fact he's a supervillain seems to be just because he dislikes any kind of authority or order. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor was this on his home planet. Partly because he found Time Lord social norms unbearably boring, and partly because he was disgusted and disturbed by their practices and elitism, he stole an antique time machine from a museum and ran away to explore the universe as an act of rebellion, since Time Lords are masters of time travel yet refuse to ever use their powers and preach non-interference. The Fourth Doctor has this as a character trait. He absolutely detests authority and rebels against it on principle, occasionally in his later tenure even to Chaotic Stupid levels. A great example is when he spends his entire trial in "The Deadly Assassin" drawing funny caricatures of the prosecution. |

The Stainless Steel Rat: an almost childishly rebellious hyperactive action hero. Slippery Jim is at war with normal society as much as the villains, and his greatest weapon is his willingness to transgress the bounds, rules and world-view of other people. That said, he's also The Fettered, being an Actual Pacifist. | |

Lawn Dogs has two of these as its main characters. Adult Trent and kid Devon both have no friends their age. Trent does crazy things like holding up traffic just so he can skinny-dip off of a bridge. Devon is even crazier. She violates rules frequently, such as leaving town when told specifically not to, and even breaks the law and steals chickens for fun. She has many weird eccentricities as well. | |

Hellblazer: John Constantine is the very definition of a Rebellious Spirit. Indeed, this is literally his cosmic role - he and his family line are the "laughing magicians", whose purpose is to pervert the efforts of both Heaven and Hell in acting superior to normal people. | |

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: As a social outcast and self-described punk, Zia has no qualms with sticking it to society and breaking the rules. Jae Used to Be a Sweet Kid, but having to deal with strict parenting has devolved her life into spitefully rebelling against anything that her parents want her to do. Growing up with rebellious parents fostered a rebellious attitude in Lenore. She considers herself a punk, and highly values her freedom. Nadine doesn't care about the establishment, or the rules, or the opinions of anyone who tries to impose on her, and will stubbornly fight against it all. This extends to the members of the punk gang that she leads, especially the outspoken and politically-charged Luna. |

Yusuke Urameshi from YuYu Hakusho fits this trope to a T at first. Since Loners Are Freaks he eventually changes to fit a more heroic archetype. It turns out he was picked as Spirit Detective for this very reason. The former Spirit Detective was too straight-laced and went crazy finding out that humans were capable of worse acts than demons. | |
