Sometimes, after a traitor makes their Face–Heel Turn, they might, after some time, regret their treachery. The reasons for this may be that things didn't quite go according to plan, they realized that Being Evil Sucks, they were Forced into Evil, Trapped in Villainy, or maybe fate forced them to betray their allies. Whatever the cause, a Regretful Traitor is likely to apologize later on or in rare cases, even ask for forgiveness from their former allies. However, their former allies may not be ready to forgive them so soon. Compare with Heel–Face Door-Slam, where a villain regrets the wrong they've done, but it's too late for reform. Related to Heel–Face Turn, where a villain (though not necessarily a traitor) joins the good side. Subtrope of Heel Realization and My God, What Have I Done?. As this is a Betrayal Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Na'ane is majorly distraught over betraying the rebels at swordpoint. Made even worse by the fact that she thought she was betraying one Rebel Leader so that the rest of the rebels could survive, but ended up selling out their entire main camp. | |

In Dune, Dr. Yueh is truly regretful for betraying the Atreides. The Harkonnens forced him into treason by kidnapping his wife and threatening to torture or kill her if he didn't agree. They ended up killing both anyway. Which he expected. He knew they would never let her free, so he hoped that by doing what they said they would at least kill her rather than torture her. With the Harkonnens, the torture was likely to last *years*. |

Deconstructed in Bojack Horseman. In the backstory, when BoJack's Big Brother Mentor and best friend Herb (who created the show that made BoJack a star) was outed as gay, the early 90s Moral Guardians went berserk and wanted Herb kicked off the family-friendly show he had written and created. BoJack was going to threaten to quit if the network moved to fire to Herb, but the network executives talked/bribed BoJack into standing aside as Herb was fired. BoJack was quite reluctant to do this, but not so reluctant that he didn't do it, and while he had plenty of regrets, it didn't stop him from avoiding Herb for the next 20 years, until Herb was on his deathbed. Hence why, when BoJack and Herb finally talk about it all those years later, Herb rejects BoJack's attempt to apologize. Pointing out what else he could have done and why he ended up not doing it. | |

Officer Jeff in The Mental State acts as an informant in the police force for Saif Dhu Hadin. He even provides him with the means to control the other prisoners. However, the only reason why he does this is because Saif is paying for his daughter's medical treatments and she would die without them. He is clearly unhappy with his current predicament but unable to do anything about it. Once Zack devises a method by which Saif is forced to pay the medical bills anyway, Jeff happily accepts his punishment and even thanks Zack for what he did. | |

Played straight with Seth Rollins. After betraying the rest of The Shield, he continuously stated that he never saw Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as his friends and brothers and many of his actions afterwards seemingly cemented that. However, there was more than one tell that he was actually lying, and that he truly had cared for them. After the above Triple H betrayed him, the illusion broke, and it became clear to everyone that deep down, Seth Rollins actually considered breaking up the Shield and joining the Authority to be the biggest mistake of his life. | |

The description of his One-Winged Angel form is A sad shell possessed by the limitless power of the Master Crown, no more than a manifestation of the crown itself.

Susie in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Her original intention upon stealing Star Dream's program controller is to sell it off for profit and teach her former boss a lesson. She winds up regretting this after Star Dream absorbs Haltmann's consciousness and condemns all organic life in the universe, leading her entrusting Kirby with the means to stop the machine and leaving her in the end with no computer, no profit, and the knowledge that she caused the death of her own father. |

Harry Potter: There's Peter Pettigrew who showed some traces of remorse even though the main reason might have been the fact that the betrayal wasn't worth what he got. While we don't nearly get as much about her, there's also Marietta Edgecombe, who in the wake of the work SNEAK appearing in pimples on her face after betraying Dumbledore's Army, doesn't say anything else to Umbridge to further incriminate Harry (although that's at least partly because of Shacklebolt casting a Memory Charm on her). At the very least, some fans have taken her actions after the betrayal to mean as such. |

Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion. As if she didn't hate herself enough to begin with, her decision to split Madoka from her godlike powers, render her mortal and erase her memories of the series, while arguably necessary, was an act she considers so beyond the pale that she proclaimed herself a demon for it. | |

Hurog: Dragon Bones has Ward betraying the dragons again, after his ancestors did it once. His reasons are honourable, he just thinks some old dragon bones are not worth the lives of many human beings. In the end, he does the right thing, after someone explains to him just how dangerous dragon bones can be in the wrong hands. He sadly thinks about how people will remember him; a traitor of his duty (which was to protect the dragons). In Dragon Blood there is Garranon, who apologizes immediately after giving Ward a drugged drink of water. |

When a suitable heir reveals himself, he wishes to preserve the house of Gaius. By the sixth, and last book, he has had multiple chances of just escaping while under the guise of the soldier he infiltrated the heir's forces under, but kept staying and fighting to help the heir. When he is finally found out, he is willing to accept death for his crimes until the heir's love interest convinces the heir to keep the traitor alive because they will need every capable fighter against the monstrous horde they are going to war against. | |

The Bible has the story of Judas Iscariot, who gave back his thirty pieces of silver and hanged himself after his betrayal of Jesus; alternatively, he bought a plot of land and fell down in it, spilling his guts out. Some people try to reconcile both by saying he bought a plot of land, hanged himself, and when his corpse rotted, his intestines fell out. | |

Teen Titans: When Terra sets up Titan Tower to be attacked, she gets enough cold feet to try to save Beast Boy and eventually breaks down apologizing to him when he finds out. Beast Boy doesn't accept it and says they were never friends. After that, she explicitly says she has no regrets and tries her best to kill the Titans herself, but it's made obvious that's she still more conflicted than that. | |

However, she ended up killing the King and Queen, leading Esteban to regret his decision ever since. Eventually, he turned on Shuriki and helped Elena take the kingdom back though still refused to tell her of his involvement, but he's felt guilty for the choice he made back then. Unfortunately, Elena found out about his treachery from all those years ago, and is understandably enraged and hurt at this revelation. Esteban tries to explain that he's changed since then, but Elena disowns him, and Esteban ends up betraying her again, believing that she hates him. | |

Subverted with Triple H. While he might feel bad about it, especially when it comes to bite him back in the ass (see: Randy Orton), Hunter has never regretted any of his treachery. When it comes down to it, Hunter really only cares about himself and his family, and will let everyone else out to dry if he thinks it's convenient. | |

All For Luz Deconstruction. Riley Stewardson is a teenage mercenary with a Dark and Troubled Past who was forced into working for a Corrupt Church that employs teenage superpower mercenaries. She reunites with her little cousin Luz, whom she generally loves. Then Riley learns that one of the bounties of who she has to kill is her cousin Luz. Riley is heartbroken and horrified by the fact that she has to kill her little cousin but ultimately decides to do the deed; she justifies it by saying that if she doesn't do it, she'll eventually be killed, and Luz will eventually be killed by someone else. While Riley is generally regretful and wants to make at least sure that Luz's mother, Camila Noceda, is spared, she does ultimately betray her cousin in an attempt to kill her, and no amount of remorse makes what she did better. It's implied that Riley has been desensitized to all the killing she previously done and is too afraid to do the right thing and protect her cousin. Ultimately, her betrayal of Luz backfires and adds to another one of the traumas Luz experiences, turning her from a Nice Girl into a hardened villain-in-the-making. When Riley realizes what she has done, she's genuinely remorseful and wants to make up for what she did. It's too late, and Luz does not trust her. Luz kills Riley with her own Quirk, and she dies a traitor, remorseful for her actions, but it's too late for her to make things right. | |
