They joined The Hero to save the day. If The Hero appealed for a group of characters to join them (a group of which they were likely the oldest or the leader, or both), they argued against it and was the last to join, but they did, and they will work quite hard, perhaps more than anyone else on the team. They are likely to be one of the most skilled and useful members and may even overlap with the Cynical Mentor. They may even make a Heroic Sacrifice. But if so, they will regard it as a Senseless Sacrifice. The Cynic that they are, they make no bones about considering The Hero's plan futile, and may join only because their friends are, and anything else is also futile. Possibly even only because it's their only way to avoid Dying Alone. Often the oldest member of the group, and prone to Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! (Though not often so gloomy as to be The Eeyore.) When it dawns on them that victory is possible, an attack of Hope Is Scary is not uncommon. In lulls in the action, they may explicitly observe that they are all going to die. Indeed, they may be the Sarcastic Devotee, though they are capable of making this observation only once or twice, or not at all. In very hard cases, tragically, they may decide that the effort is not worth it and leave. They may even encounter the villain and have a Face–Heel Turn, but this is uncommon. Usually, they're no worse than the "Disney Anti-Hero." Contrast Divided We Fall. May contrast with Least Is First (a lowest-status character steps forward first, shaming the higher-status ones into supporting a course of action) as their Foil, but more often is a foil for The Hero, who will likely tell them that Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers! when they get heavy on the sour. Compare with The Resenter, who actively resents the hero, and with Determined Defeatist, in which it's the hero who has a bad attitude about the odds of success. Often overlaps with be a Knight in Sour Armor. Examples |

In Noob, Omega Zell is technically this for the feminist cause in general. He's The One Guy at his workplace and does his part in its feminist association to cover up what he really thinks about women. When he gets online, his female guildmates get an earfull of his real thoughts. | |

At one point, he outright tells Harry that Voldemort's already won and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. It doesn't stop him from coming to the trio's aid when they need it, offering his pub as a meeting place for the Order, and courageously fighting in and surviving the Battle of Hogwarts. | |

In Prince Caspian Trumpkin the Dwarf supports the revolution to set Prince Caspian on the throne, even though he is sour and pessimistic. This is in contrast with book Trumpkin, where he is equally pessimisic about the result, but quite cheerful (if cynical) along the way. | |

In John Barnes' One for the Morning Glory, they hear a ballad that ends with a young woman prisoner to the goblins, and since it's true, and they know it, they discuss rescuing her. Gorlias is as enthusiastic as any, and characters object: he's the oldest, he should be gravely warning them against it and talking of its dangers. Gorlias proceeds to discuss its dangers in a portentous tone, as if he had warned them off, but on the trip itself, he's perfectly cheerful. | |

Cid in Final Fantasy VII only joins the party because you took and crashed his plane, and because he doesn't see a reason to hang around Rocket Town anymore. He calls the party numbskulls and constantly complains about them, but states that he likes the idea of fighting Shinra and undergoes Character Development to become a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. He ends up commanding the Highwind airship crew for the player and even is promoted to party leader at one point. | |

While Tim started out as a rather idealistic Robin after almost everyone he loves died, Bruce pulled a couple of rather heartless manipulation attempts on him, and three out of four of his adoptive siblings either try to kill him or frame him for murder he becomes incredibly cynical, stating that when he was forced to hear the anti-life equation in the moments while he still retained his sense of self he found he agreed with it but tried to fight its control because he'd made oaths when he took on the Robin mantle. His cynicism was starting to lighten up after Kon, Stephanie, and Bart came back and gave him some actual support but then Flashpoint happened and erased that version of Tim. | |

Karkat from Homestuck shows no respect for anyone, insults everyone he meets, gripes a lot and has grown grimly accustomed to disaster at every turn, but is near-religiously devoted to the good of his group and, after some early false starts, the human kids too, even if there are times he clearly wants to strangle them. | |

Uhtred in The Saxon Stories is a particularly reluctant example.

Ai Mizuno from Zombie Land Saga is openly and understandably critical of the plan to make an Idol Singer group with a bunch of zombies, to the point where she attempts to leave in the second episode and has outright stated that the moment she feels there's no chance, she's gone. Of course, she's also the one most experienced with the idol industry, she does provide good advice, and she is shown to be privately fond of the others. | |

In Battle Realms, Shinja becomes this if Kenji goes on the Dragon path, constantly questioning his goals about obtaining the orb, whom the former it useless. When Kenji leaves for Dragonspire, he decided to forcibly claim part of the territory from the Wolf/Lotus Clan in an attempt to restore the Serpent Clan behind his back despite Otomo's protests. Unlike most examples, he eventually turns on Otomo after he deems Kenji too weak to rule and has Otomo executed for good measure. | |

Sucker Punch plays with this in the character of Sweet Pea. She plays the part of Sour Supporter perfectly, even going so far as to Opt Out at one point. The trope play comes in when she rejoins the team and ends up the only survivor by way of the rest of the team's Heroic Sacrifices, which "redeems" her of her sourness. | |

Serpico as a part of Guts' new entourage in Berserk. He's the most cynical person in the group next to Guts himself, but he's wrapped in a sarcastic layer of goodness that prevents him from deserting the group, primarily for his half-sister Farnese's sake, but it goes without saying that he does care for his other companions. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Sokka is cynical, started out thinking Aang could be a Fire Nation spy, and initially objected to going on this journey, but by the end of the series, through Character Development, he becomes a great leader and warrior. Lampshaded at one point when Sokka complains that apparently the rest of the team has decided he is the "Plan Guy" and he always has to be the one to come up with something to save the day. Toph points out that he's also "the Complaining Guy", but Sokka says he is actually OK with filling that role. Katara also becomes this at the start of the second half of Book 3 when Zuko joins the Gaang; understandably, she's not happy since he's tried to capture and/or kill them for a while and betrayed Aang and Katara the one time she let her guard down. She makes it vocal that she isn't happy Zuko is there (even when he saves them from Azula) and it's only when Zuko aids her in finding her mother's killer that she finally trusts him. |

Kratos from Tales of Symphonia. He's a world-weary mercenary who doesn't much care for Lloyd's idealism, seeing it as just being naive. Raine shares Kratos' sentiments, but she does get him to admit that he'd rather things work out okay. It turns out he's The Mole, and has resigned himself to his fate. Luckily, some more pressure from Lloyd and company eventually brings Kratos around to their side. | |

Amarant in Final Fantasy IX joins Zidane's party after being defeated by him, but he is absolutely puzzled as to why Zidane wastes so much energy sticking with his friends when Amarant believes the strong works alone and how people could get things done if they just did it themselves instead of relying on others. At one point, he ditches the party after beating Zidane in a race to see who could reach a specific room in a castle first, but after falling into a trap, Zidane runs back to save him, causing Amarant to rethink his logic after seeing Zidane had gone out of their way to save him just because he needed help. | |

This is what makes James Acaster so entertaining on Series 7 of Taskmaster. The other contestants, consisting of the goofy Phil Wang, the fun-loving Kerry Godliman and Jessica Knappet, and the batshit insane perverse Troll Rhod Gilbert, are all generally having a good time, enjoying themselves, joking around, and overall rolling with the punches. James, meanwhile, is a downright bitter sourpuss who seems to genuinely be having a bad time, frequently has a scowl on his face, and goes off on several tirades and delivers a couple of The Reason You Suck speeches to his contestants and even the Taskmaster himself. His funniest running gag is his utter refusal to even acknowledge Alex Horne at the beginning of tasks: while everyone else will respond in kind to Alex's greeting, James just walks past in silence and reads the task. | |

Eb from Tyranny is this. She joins the party after you defeat the rebels she was aiding because she knows her only other alternative is death, and spends the rest of the game in resignation that she is now helping the Player Character and the armies of The Empire piss on the ashes of what was once her homeland. If the Player Character conscripts the rebels instead and sides against The Empire's armies, however, she turns into more of a Sarcastic Devotee: Still extremely pessimistic about the whole thing but at least supportive of the idea. | |

In the first season of Recess, Vince was a mild case of this to T.J. Whenever T.J. came up with a plan, Vince always insisted it was crazy at first and tried to point out the reasons why it wouldn't work. This eventually faded, and was given to Spinelli on a few occasions instead. | |

Many of Rand Al Thor's supporters in The Wheel of Time behave like this. The man is the Chosen One (of several prophecies and groups) but none of his disparate groups of supporters trust the other ones, and many regard him as nothing more than a loaded cannon they need to further their own ends while regarding him as an idiot who messes everything up that they need to step carefully around. To be fair Rand is pretty insane by this point, and can act idiotically, but he is a lot more competent than they give him credit for and were it not for the prevalence of this trope he would have managed to do a lot more by now. Interestingly enough, Rand actually tries to play the groups against each other in order to get rid of some people that are hindering him. Its a safe bet that at least one of them will bite the dust but Namely High Lord Wieramon. It never works. | |

Fraggle Rock: Boober is the anti-Fraggle; an often grumpy, cowardly guy who finds pleasure in his life from laundry and cooking, and a notorious germaphobe who typically shuns the fun-loving style in which other Fraggles love to indulge. Still, he's a good friend to Gobo, Mokey, Wembley and Red, and if the others are in trouble, he will (temporarily) put his fears aside and save the day. | |

Branch in Trolls. He's very outspoken about the trolls' general frivolity, and when it comes back to bite them just as he predicted, he'd rather hide out in his bunker than do anything to help. Poppy manipulates him into joining her quest, but he spends most of the time grumbling about it, fully expecting them to be captured and eaten. | |

Lance of Sym-Bionic Titan often falls victim to a two to one vote. Specifically, in Under The Three Moons after saying he doesn't want to go to the school dance, Ilana and Octus make him go anyway. The same thing happened in the matter of whether he brought a date or not. In A Family Crisis, after the trio get a distress call from Soloman, Lance brushes it off and asks for more cake. Ilana and Octus, however, think they should save him anyway even though they agree with Lance that Soloman's a jerk and doesn't deserve saving. |

Gwen Tennyson in the original Ben 10 series was this mixed with Sarcastic Devotee towards her cousin's Idiot Hero tendencies, with their interactions mostly being arguments and insults toward each other interspersed with regular Thicker Than Water moments.

Final Fantasy: Cid in Final Fantasy VII only joins the party because you took and crashed his plane, and because he doesn't see a reason to hang around Rocket Town anymore. He calls the party numbskulls and constantly complains about them, but states that he likes the idea of fighting Shinra and undergoes Character Development to become a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. He ends up commanding the Highwind airship crew for the player and even is promoted to party leader at one point. Amarant in Final Fantasy IX joins Zidane's party after being defeated by him, but he is absolutely puzzled as to why Zidane wastes so much energy sticking with his friends when Amarant believes the strong works alone and how people could get things done if they just did it themselves instead of relying on others. At one point, he ditches the party after beating Zidane in a race to see who could reach a specific room in a castle first, but after falling into a trap, Zidane runs back to save him, causing Amarant to rethink his logic after seeing Zidane had gone out of their way to save him just because he needed help. |

Warhammer 40,000 Expanded Universe: In Sandy Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain novel Death Or Glory, when discussing difficulties getting through a mountain range, the guide Sandy Kolfax says it hardly matters since they will all die before they get there, and later Cain catches him drinking and he professes that it does not matter, as they will all die. But he does lead them. To the mountains, even. Where he dies. In Graham McNeill's Ultramarines novel Dead Sky Black Sun, when Uriel urges a group of Space Marines and two Imperial Guardsmen to help him, Vaanes, the leader of the group, was the last to agree, with the observation that he knew Uriel would be trouble. After they leave, he carefully ensures that Uriel knows they could all die. He finally decides that Uriel's plans cannot work, and that honour is not good enough to die for. |

Nick in Left 4 Dead 2 fits this trope to a T. He sees Coach as a foolishly optimistic and finds Ellis so incredibly naive and stupid that he won't care if Ellis gets left behind. He also constantly complains about everything, between mud from the swamps and flooding from a storm. Despite all this, Nick stays with the group because being alone would get him killed by the zombies. | |

Avon from Blake's 7, who later inspired similar characters like Tyr from Andromeda. He's a rare example of a Sour Supporter who's averted The Complainer Is Always Wrong at least once. He strongly argued against blowing up Star One, which turned out to cause pretty awful collateral damage for very little benefit to the rebellion, though admittedly the alien invasion didn't exactly help either. | |

He's not happy about it, as he never lets the other characters forget. However, he's also one of the most reliable and loyal fighters in the company, and even pulls off a You Shall Not Pass!

If you allow her to join, she repeatedly states that she does so in order to get the pleasure of seeing you die. Though after the final war, if you ever speak to her, it sounds like she got better and sees you in a more positive way. Flik. He's at first really pissed that you got his lover Odessa killed. But he joins you anyway, and his mindset is "Let's see if you're worthy of replacing Odessa." It wasn't until Gremio's tragic death that he starts letting off with you and eventually develops further until he's the series' Ensemble Dark Horse. |

Kai Shiden from Mobile Suit Gundam. Like many of the heroes he's a civilian who was effectively press-ganged into becoming a soldier and Humongous Mecha pilot; unlike many of the heroes, he spends a good portion of his screentime grumping about the situation and being backhandedly respectful towards authority figures like Bright Noah. However, this goes away after his Character Development, and while most of his friends stick with the military after the One Year War is over Kai goes on to become an Intrepid Reporter, which suits him far better. | |

Barbra from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues. She's one of the most enthusiastic when it comes to exploring the group's acquired superpowers, but at the same time will needle at any faults she finds with their plans. | |

Xan, the clinically depressed enchanter in Baldur's Gate. He is very vocal about how your quest is futile, but he helps you anyway, presumably because he sees everything else in the world as equally pointless. | |

In The Silver Chair, Puddleglum professes, every step of the way, that they are certainly doomed to failure and death. His notion of cheering the children up is to tell them that they don't have to worry about something because they are likely to die first. Puddleglum is also said to be unusually optimistic and cheerful for a Marshwiggle - just imagine what the others would be like! | |

Kirby from The Brave Little Toaster certainly didn't keep his objections to himself when the group set out to find the master. | |

Sailor Moon has Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Unfortunately (fortunately?) for them, the SM-verse is a real Sugar Bowl at times, and everything really can be set right with The Power of Love, so really, their sourness just makes them look Wangsty sometimes. | |
