A character that has to be perfect at what they do, or at everything they do. There's a variation when some sort of special event is going on, where there's usually one crazy organizer who takes charge and the rest just go along. This chief organizer has a pretty good chance of becoming an overbearing perfectionist. Of course, said person obviously needs to learn that nothing is perfect in life. After all, if it was, it'd be pretty boring. Whether or not the message gets through is up to the character. In a Four-Temperament Ensemble, this character is Melancholic. Compare and contrast the Ultimate Life Form and Go-Getter Girl, who is "perfect". Also compare the Broken Ace, who often overlaps with this character. See also the Consummate Professional, who strives for perfection in their work. A character with Ridiculously High Relationship Standards is like this with their romantic partners. Contrast Deliberate Under-Performance, when a character goes out of their way to not be perfect at something. |

Genshin Impact: Noelle is hyper-focused on passing the knights selection exam flawlessly. In one of the scenarios of part II of her Hangout Event, if she passes Cyrus' mock-up entrance exam for the Adventurer's Guild with only few mistakes, she'll slump into disappointment that she didn't get the perfect score and head back to the Favonius HQ library to study more books, thinking that her "success" didn't qualify as one. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): In this Godzilla MonsterVerse fanfiction, the Many are a gruesome variation. When a being is infected and being assimilated by the Many, it gives them this sense that they're somehow broken and lost, and that only becoming another facet in the Many's whole will cure them. | |

In Bleach, although one would expect him to be one considering his love for experimentation, Mayuri Kurotsuchi makes it quite clear that he absolutely loathes perfection. To him, perfection means there is no place left for additional knowledge and abilities and thus nothing else left for him as a scientist to strive for. This puts him in contrast with Szayelaporro Granz, who boasts about having become a perfect, immortal being; this earns him the contempt of Mayuri, who denounces him as a fellow scientist after putting him through a Cruel and Unusual Death. Much later, when Nemu is killed during the Quincy Blood War, a vision of Szayelaporro calls out Mayuri for having the audacity of being distraught at her death, taking it as a sign of Mayuri thinking that she had become perfect. Mayuri admits that Szayelaporro is right, before turning his own logic against him and boasting that he will simply make a new, superior Nemu to replace the old one. | |

A Certain Magical Index has Shizuri Mugino, at least before her Heel–Face Turn. Shiage Hamazura noted that if she hadn't been obsessed with a perfect victory, she would have been able to kill him in an instant. Instead, she toyed with him while waiting for the perfect moment to end the fight, allowing him to counterattack. He also describes her as someone who will freak out if they beat a video game without doing 100% completion. | |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: Awakening The Avatar aims to have no war casualties and will consider any mission a failure, even if the mission was successful if one of his/her units dies. Fitting considering how most gamers play Fire Emblem. Cordelia is by nature a genius who is perfect in every way, as noted by her comrades. Though she mutters to herself that she became a pegasus knight because she's a lousy runner. Discussed by her daughter Severa, who dealt with the fact not even being perfect saved Cordelia's future self from death. Severa has tried to be like her mother, but her death pretty much kicked Severa into depression. Fire Emblem Fates Sakura's retainer Tsubaki is known to boast how perfect he is at everything he does that he takes it very seriously to make sure to never show any flaws. Cue several occasions when his perfect nature reveals weaknesses. His daughter Caeldori (an obvious younger Expy of Cordelia) turns out to be 100 percent perfect, which forces Tsubaki (and Selena, should she marry Tsubaki in Revelations) to stay on top of things so he never falls behind her. Roy in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade has a similar attitude to his troops, as revealed in a support conversation with one of his cavaliers. |

Played for tragedy in The Platform, as the chefs preparing a 'truly perfect' buffet every day are unaware that their work is used to justify starving hundreds to death, and disregard a symbolic message of their food being rejectednote the film goes on to explain that the message is about rejecting the very food that enslaves and dehumanizes the prisoners because they believe the hair on top was their error. The head chef is angrily criticizing his team for a simple mistake instead of wondering, for five seconds, why anyone would care about a single dessert on a smorgasbord eaten by two VIPs and/or over 400 people. | |

David Byrne has a reputation for this, and it's not entirely undeserved; during production of Remain in Light, he spent a significant chunk of the recording sessions training his bandmates in Talking Heads to play the exact same rhythms on an indefinite loop, due to sound engineering technology in 1980 not allowing for looped rhythms to be done by computer (tape loops existed, but they were of variable reliability due to the greater amount of moving parts and the natural degradation of magnetic tape when played repeatedly). While the idea seems easy on paper, it was physically and mentally exhausting for the band due to Byrne's demands for mechanical precision from human musicians. This was just one of many elements of Remain in Light's Troubled Production that drove producer Brian Eno from ever working with Talking Heads again, and Byrne's continued perfectionism on the band's following output is generally believed to have been a significant factor in their acrimonious breakup in 1991. | |

To her, a true master can never fail. However, it's rather telling that she seems to look up to Joichiro Saiba (Soma's father) as the ultimate chef because she believes him to be similarly obsessed with victory, unaware of how different he is in real life. | |

In Medaka Box, Kurokami Medaka is a super-talented girl who can't help but try and "complete" herself. Whatever she does, even if it's an absurdly amazing accomplishment, she always worries and questions how she could have done it better (even if she doesn't let her worry show on her face). To her chagrin, she's actually AWARE that trying to become a perfect human being is both impossible and foolish, but her Abnormality compels her to keep on chasing self-perfection anyway, kept in check only by her friends keeping her grounded. Her compulsive self-completion manifests in her Skill, "The End", which instantly learns and completes any Skill. | |

Detective Amy Santiago in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, who describes herself as "a little OCD". This is a little like saying that the Atlantic Ocean is "a little wet". Detective Jake Peralta is an interesting case, in that he initially appears to be a lazy slacker who doesn't take anything seriously, but he can be surprisingly intense when it comes to doing his job successfully; he just has slightly different standards of 'perfect' than others. | |

Static Shock: Although briefly seen, the father of one of Virgil’s classmates has shades of this, evidenced that he is disappointed in his son for getting a, 99%, on his essay. He even gets annoyed that Virgil and Richie stop by to say hello to his son because it distracts him from studying for history test. Unsurprisingly, this pressure combined with social isolation results in severe emotional problems, causing him to lose his patience over minor slights ( and that’s not even including the fact that the boy is a Hulk Expy). | |

In Terra Ignota, the Utopians are an entire quasi-nation of perfectionists due to attracting this particular type of members. They always take the time to do everything perfectly, no matter how small an error or how long it takes. For example, the worldwide transit system is controlled by the Humanist Hive and is the safest, fastest, and most efficient transit system in human history. There was an accident that resulted in a number of Utopians (and others) dying. Everyone else accepted it as an unfortunate statistical error, but the Utopians removed themselves from the Humanist system and created their own transit system. It is slower and smaller, but it has never caused even one death. | |

Keladry from Protector of the Small is aware that any sort of failing on her part will be taken as proof that girls can't be knights, and so pushes herself to succeed in everything she can.

She also becomes a meticulous director of a community theatre production.

Fire Emblem Fates Sakura's retainer Tsubaki is known to boast how perfect he is at everything he does that he takes it very seriously to make sure to never show any flaws. Cue several occasions when his perfect nature reveals weaknesses. His daughter Caeldori (an obvious younger Expy of Cordelia) turns out to be 100 percent perfect, which forces Tsubaki (and Selena, should she marry Tsubaki in Revelations) to stay on top of things so he never falls behind her. |

BlazBlue: Relius Clover is a horrific perfectionist, as he is also a Mad Scientist with a penchant for Mind Rape and possessing complete Lack of Empathy. He's trying to achieve perfection and his goal was to create the "Perfect Doll". And he has never suffer a crushing defeat... until BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, where he witnessed his plan to reset the world completely obliterated by the hands of Bang Shishigami. As this was his first time taking utter, unsalvagable defeat right on his face and his plan cannot be prepared again in a short time, Relius ends up suffering a quiet, but massive and well-deserved Villainous Breakdown that he's willing to let himself be beaten down to near-death (he was just about ready to get himself killed) by his rival, and then lets himself be put on the leash by the very son he deeply traumatized nonchalantly in his quest of perfection and the woman whose emotions and love he just recently manipulated just so he could get extra fodders. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Canonically in most settings, it's a traditional mentality of elves. This means they spend centuries to improve some or other art, craft, or fighting style as far as they can.

Shirogane from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is obsessed with maintaining his perfect student council president image. He takes studying very seriously, and any shortcomings he may have (of which there are a lot) are painstakingly rooted out and overcome. Part of this effort is motivated by his desire to stand as Kaguya's equal and prove that he's good enough for her. The rest is because he was abandoned by his mother as a child when he didn't meet her insanely high standards. | |

Graceful execution, deadly precision, power, and striking speed... but a single hair out of place. Not satisfied with being "almost perfect", Azula's shown compulsively retrying her technique. Later down the road, it turns out that being Daddy's Little Villain doesn't save you from being used in Ozai's schemes, and Azula's cool demeanor breaks, culminating in a colossal Villainous Breakdown. | |

When cooking, for example, he's actually distressed to find that although most of the pieces of radish he sliced are exactly equal, there's one on the end which isn't. Zheng, who never bothers to even try, is bemused. | |

In Noob, Saphir, Justice guild's recruiter, has to make sure only the best players join the guild. She hence requires candidates not only to be maxed out on any in-game feature one can think of but to have a spartiate lifestyle outside of it. Requirements include no job (e.g. either living with one's parents or living off unemployment benefits), no romantic relationships, not requiring too much sleep, having only one meal per day because having three is lost time in her opinion. She also seems to have a bane for interviewing players in Dead Character Walking form. | |

However, he is specially aware of how his herbivore status limits certain areas he is not proud to admit and thus does everything in his power to avoid showing any sort of weakness to avoid getting pitied. It doesn't help his past practically had him be herbivore meat fodder at a young age until he was saved, adopted, and raised to be the man he is today. | |

Although this is also Played for Laughs, like when she stabs Steven's teddy bear that was sitting on a tower of school supplies: This is White Diamond's motivation for villainy. She sees herself as the Ultimate Lifeform and wants to make the universe as perfect as she is. She then suffers a Villainous Breakdown after finding out she's not as perfect as she thought. |

Amara in Fleuret Blanc is actually fairly successful at this, to the point that she's comfortable being a Snark Knight. Tying into the Central Theme of materialism, she tries to surround herself with only the most expensive and highest-quality of items. Interestingly, her prized possession is a reminder of an instance where she slipped up: she used the metronome to maintain her rhythm during fencing practice, but accidentally damaged it with a botched thrust. |

In practice, Vignette changes her mind on a whim if she thinks something about her costumes or her designs aren't absolutely perfect, which leads to those who work under her getting easily frustrated. In Sunset's Backstage Pass, the band PostCrush is revealed to be this, particularly Kiwi "K-Lo" Lollipop. K-Lo insists on using the Time Twirler to redo their performance at the Starswirl Music Festival over and over until they get it perfect, much to the dismay of her bandmate Supernova "Su-Z" Zap. It wouldn't be until Sunset Shimmer destroys the artifact and talks her out of it that K-Lo decides to accept that Perfection Is Impossible. |

He just murdered a man using an Artifact of Doom? That's... it's... It is good. It has to be good. He has to be good.

Boimler from Star Trek: Lower Decks desperately needs his efforts to be rewarded, and strives for perfection in whatever task he's assigned. On the one hand, this makes him efficient and he's the only one who can function without "buffer time", on the other, this means he won't stop until he makes a perfect score. This actually ends up saving the ship in the second season; not only does he pass a rigged simulation, his repeated attempts to bump up his score and avoid The B Grade mean that the bureaucrat trying to disband the ship can't submit the crew's score until he's done. This may also explain why he failed the infamous Kobayashi Maru test 17 times, if a line from his rant in "Reflections" is any indication (presumably he didn't realize it was supposed to be a no-win scenario and kept trying it over and over). | |

Dark Heresy: Forge World Selvanus Binary, run by High Fabricator Dinuum, practices an extremely orthodox interpretation of the Universal Laws, and its priests' attention to detail in manufacturing is second to none. Everything is built to extremely exacting tolerances, and anything that deviates even the most minor amount from these tolerances is grounds to discard the entire thing and start again. As a result, Selvanian products have a reputation for extreme quality, but their rate of production is so necessarily slow that their overall level of output is well below expectation for a Forge World of its kind. The Quorum Primus tries to argue that Selvanus Binary needs to balance its quality of production with quantity of production, but Dinuum rebuts that any intentional compromise in quality would be blasphemous to the Machine-God, a point his critics cannot in good theology disagree with. | |

Kill Six Billion Demons: Solomon David, appropriately as a Demiurge of Pride. He's enough of a perfectionist Control Freak that he's the only Demiurge that bears no scar at all, and is the greatest and only practictioner of Ki Rata, an entire style of Dangerous Forbidden Techniques where losing control of even one's own breathing for even a millisecond can kill the user. He's just as harsh on himself as he is on others, too, as the moment he's called out on breaking his own social contract of utter control over others in exchange for perfect protection (Jagganoth made a mockery of the whole idea by nuking his realm), he basically self-destructs in one last mad rush at Jagganoth in an attempt to make up for it. | |

Anne Sieber in Boarding School Juliet demands that her subordinates put forth nothing less than their absolute effort in every task, even if that task is as small as pinning up posters (they must be uncreased and perpendicular, she says). When Romeo questions this mindset, she fires him, preferring to do all the work alone rather than accept inferior help. This makes her really hard to work alongside, despite her considerate nature. | |

In Naruto, the Sunny-Side Battle! OVA has Itachi attempting to make breakfast: every single one of his eggs is a failure in some way. Everyone else would just pick the eggshell out of the yolk or, if that seems too squicky, settle for the egg whose yolk dripped out. But Itachi is having none of that. His sunny-side-up egg has to be absolutely perfect. | |

Gaichû in Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong is a mild example, mentioning that his role in his former team was to be the one to hone the team to perfection in the minutiae and never being satisfied, thus keeping them constantly drilling. This meant that, when he was exposed to The Virus and became a ghoul, he became affixed on mastering his new form as if it was any other kind of handicap. Note that Imperial Japan's superiority complex convinces them that they are already perfect humans, and the training is meant to cut them into new styles of perfection. Gaichû realized this was just self-serving bullshit when he managed to fight off two of his former teammates while zombified and blind, because they had convinced themselves that killing a 'sub-human ghoul' would be a milk run, and refused to cut their losses and forgive. The moral of the story is that convincing yourself you are entitled to perfection means you'll always lag behind while striving to improve yourself regardless of whether or not you can achieve perfection means you'll be a step ahead. |

In Where Talent Goes to Die, Reiko Mitamura is an honors student with an upstanding reputation who feels great pressure to stay that way, especially after being recognized for her talent as the Ultimate Proofreader, which fits her personality. This is also her undoing. Afraid of what would happen if she got a bad grade, Mitamura cheated on a test, and after Monokuma threatens to release the information, she commits murder in order to graduate and keep said information secret. | |

In The Bible, it's stated that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God", and that mankind's best actions and accomplishments are "as filthy rags" to God. To hear some theologians tell it, if you have ever done even one bad deed or had one bad thought at any point in your life (including so much as being grumpy or cranky as a baby), then you deserve to be tortured for all eternity in Hell. Naturally, this damns every single human being (save Jesus). The only loophole is worshipping Jesus, which gets you into Heaven, even though you don't actually deserve it. | |

On the other hand, his perfectionism is one of the major reasons he is aware of everything that goes on around him and what makes him a deadly strategist. | |

Warhammer: One of the domains of Slaanesh is how the obsession over perfection can utterly ruin a man's soul and lead them to depravity. Slaanesh will encourage its followers to seek perfection in experience and personal skill; artists will starve themselves obsessing over making their paintings just right, or experiment with bodily fluids (willingly donated or otherwise) to see if they can give the hue they're looking for, to give just one example. Dark Heresy: Forge World Selvanus Binary, run by High Fabricator Dinuum, practices an extremely orthodox interpretation of the Universal Laws, and its priests' attention to detail in manufacturing is second to none. Everything is built to extremely exacting tolerances, and anything that deviates even the most minor amount from these tolerances is grounds to discard the entire thing and start again. As a result, Selvanian products have a reputation for extreme quality, but their rate of production is so necessarily slow that their overall level of output is well below expectation for a Forge World of its kind. The Quorum Primus tries to argue that Selvanus Binary needs to balance its quality of production with quantity of production, but Dinuum rebuts that any intentional compromise in quality would be blasphemous to the Machine-God, a point his critics cannot in good theology disagree with. Warhammer Fantasy: Dwarfs are notable perfectionists and will not accept shoddy or 'good enough' work from themselves or anyone else — if a dwarf is not giving 100% to whatever they're doing, they're dead. Dwarfs whose work fails to live up to their own (or their masters') standard are dishonoured. Those whose works harm or kill another Dwarf through shoddiness (such as a cannon that misfires, or a light fixture that falls down) are expected to take the Slayer's Oath. |

Earth's Children: Rydag is a rather fastidious person with a keen eye for detail. This makes him an excellent artist, though he also gets rather anxious or frustrated when things he puts effort into don't turn out completely the way he wishes. The first time he and Ayla have sex, he's particularly flustered over the fact he climaxed and Ayla didn't; even though Ayla says she still found it enjoyable, he berates himself for being too hasty and insists on trying again so it will be "perfect" for her. When Ayla breaks up with him, he apologizes for not being perfect for her, only for Ayla to state she never wanted or needed him to be perfect, and that this isn't the reason she's leaving. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Rarity, as a fashionista, is a bit of a Hollywood case. Though considering the clientele she keeps (a famous songwriter and dancer, a model, and several fashion moguls), her perfectionist tendencies tend to be rather justified. Twilight Sparkle has the version of perfectionism you find in Real Life in people who did very well in early schooling... and thus never got used to getting less-than-perfect scores. The mere thought of not having a friendship lesson prepared for Princess Celestia and being tardy causes a meltdown that results in her brainwashing half the town in an attempt to engineer a friendship problem. Applejack likewise has an episode ("The Last Roundup") devoted to this character trait. Although in this case, it was less to do with the fact she didn't do perfectly in and of itself and more that the fact that she didn't do perfectly meant she didn't get the money she promised. She was less concerned about the fact that her performance was flawed and more that she made a promise to someone who was counting on her. We later see that Diamond Tiara exhibits the negative aspects of this trope, courtesy of the pressure put on her by her mother Spoiled Rich. The reason she acts like a bully is because of the pressure on her to be the best and her less-than-graceful handling of it when she isn't. The moment she turns around completely is when she lets go of being a "Well Done, Son" Guy in favor of actually making friends with her classmates and listening to the positive reinforcement from the CMC instead of the negative criticism from her mother. |

Miki Aono/Cure Berry from Fresh Pretty Cure! usually peppers her words with "Perfect" to the point her catchphrase is "I'm perfect!". As an aspiring model, she usually goes out of her way to keep up with her perfect appearance and manner, but unlike most of the examples here, she could take failures better, by lamenting "I'm not perfect...". Also, if she really perceives that something is really her fault or there's bigger stakes at hand, she'd ignore whatever imperfect look she had, in order to fix that fault or solve that stake. Unlike most examples here, however, Miki remains a positively good and sane girl despite her 'perfectionist' stance. | |

This normally results in him exacting his murderous wrath on anyone when an imperfection turns up. He has also created a Police State where everyone has to follow the instructions, otherwise they will be put to sleep, connected with his hatred of Master Builders who are a lot more chaotic and individualistic than his system is.

Their games tend to be of extremely high quality, but have very long production times and often have a lot of removed content. There are several cases where dataminers have discovered cut content that works just fine and would have improved some aspects of the game, but was removed for not passing Rockstar's insanely high standards of quality. For example Halfway into the production of Red Dead Redemption 2 Rockstar redesigned most of the northern mountain range, allegedly to improve the story's flow - but while only a small section of the story takes place in the area, the redesign removed a good chunk of the map, a ton of roads were blocked off making it significantly harder to move around the area, and the game files suggest that a point of interest, a gang hideout, a collectible, and even a sidequest were removed to make way for this change. | |

Manfred von Karma from Ace Attorney, who maintained a perfect win record for over 40 years through perfectly coached witnesses and perfectly prepared evidence, disregarding petty things like "legal ethics" and "fair play" to keep his streak. When defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth manages to land a penalty on him, von Karma enacts a revenge that defines Disproportionate Retribution. His perfectionism leaves him with an ego so large that he believes there is no way he could lose to the likes of Phoenix and Maya as well as an inability to cope with a situation not perfectly under his control, leading to his downfall. Manfred's daughter Franziska takes her perfectionism to a neurotic level because she believes she has to uphold the Von Karma family creed, which is to be absolutely perfect in everything she does. At the end of the second game, she finally drops her high and mighty attitude around her brother Edgeworth and cries, admitting that she's not perfect but has been forced to try to be because her father would accept nothing but the absolute best from her at all times and wouldn't give her the time of day otherwise. Klavier Gavin is not a perfectionist in court, where he's one of the few prosecutors who aren't at all amoral. When it comes to his career as a rock star, on the other hand, he won't tolerate even the slightest error in his band's performances. The Dual Destinies character Robin Newman holds himself (actually, herself) to ridiculous standards, referring to himself as a "second-rate" artist even though his sculptures alone were chosen to decorate the school concert, and smashing to the ground any pieces that don't adequately express the emotions in his heart. Since those emotions are so intense, it's a miracle that he's ever created anything he's satisfied with. This may have to do with Robin's asshole parents, who forced her to dress as a boy against her will. Luckily, Robin's friends- Hugh and Juniper- understand the pain of having to live up to high standards. |

Battleborn: The Jennerit in general are this. Anything they deem imperfect must be fixed or destroyed. If the Jennerit need to manipulate the laws of the universe in the process, so be it. | |

Katheryn from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues is a perfectionist to a fault. She refuses to use pens because their mistakes aren't as easily fixable as a pencil, and won't hand in tests unless she's sure that they're perfect. | |

Fire Emblem: Awakening The Avatar aims to have no war casualties and will consider any mission a failure, even if the mission was successful if one of his/her units dies. Fitting considering how most gamers play Fire Emblem. Cordelia is by nature a genius who is perfect in every way, as noted by her comrades. Though she mutters to herself that she became a pegasus knight because she's a lousy runner. Discussed by her daughter Severa, who dealt with the fact not even being perfect saved Cordelia's future self from death. Severa has tried to be like her mother, but her death pretty much kicked Severa into depression. |

In Sunset's Backstage Pass, the band PostCrush is revealed to be this, particularly Kiwi "K-Lo" Lollipop. K-Lo insists on using the Time Twirler to redo their performance at the Starswirl Music Festival over and over until they get it perfect, much to the dismay of her bandmate Supernova "Su-Z" Zap. It wouldn't be until Sunset Shimmer destroys the artifact and talks her out of it that K-Lo decides to accept that Perfection Is Impossible. | |

In Rollercoaster of Friendship, Vignette Valencia cops to this during a Motive Rant, where she wonders why anyone can like something that's not perfect. In practice, Vignette changes her mind on a whim if she thinks something about her costumes or her designs aren't absolutely perfect, which leads to those who work under her getting easily frustrated. | |

In The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan, Nova Shine is a textbook case, coupled with a large side-helping of Heroic Self-Deprecation when he fails to live up. He's immensely self-critical of how he was able to match Twilight Sparkle's spells during their first assessment but not the ease at which she could cast them, punishes himself for yelling at Twilight after she pushed his buttons one too many times, exiles himself to her basement for a whole week after he failed to make peace with his parents (even though his only goal earlier that day had been to make peace with a completely different pony, which he did succeed at), and won't even talk to her during that time. | |
