The world can seem like such a joyless, gray, dark place, empty of hope, where dreams are ephemeral lifelines, where joy and passion seem pointless and fake, and pain is the only thing that's authentic. Yet, sometimes, meeting the right person, witnessing the right moment, can teach one that there's more to life than suffering—can teach one to smile again. This doesn't mean that they've acquired better morals, or even that they gained hope: they may instead be Conditioned to Accept Horror, stop worrying, and love the bomb.
The character, either a Broken Bird, an Ice Queen, a Shrinking Violet, The Stoic or any other kind of less cheerful character, becomes more cheerful over time. Can be due to Character Development, or a Heel–Face Turn.
Compare Defrosting Ice Queen and Took a Level in Kindness. Lots of Love Redeems stories fall under this trope. The Power of Friendship, The Power of Love and The Power of Trust may be involved, in that the character may feel the need to reciprocate those gifts.

Ai Haibara from Detective Conan was raised and Forced into Evil by The Syndicate, but managing to flee from them and being influenced by newfound friends like her Parental Substitute Hiroshi Agasa, Conan Edogawa and Ran Mouri has begun to help her heal. She's not likely to become a Genki Girl in a long time, but she has stopped to wish for death and is now able to live the normal life she never had...

Advice and Trust:
Shinji and Asuka became happier and less gloomy after getting together. Shinji even stopped needing his headphones to escape from reality because he was glad and at peace.
Rei stopped taking her feeling-numbing medication per advice of Asuka. Afterwards she started bonding with her fellow pilots and she also became happier and smiling more often (covertly so that she did not clue Gendo or Ritsuko in on her changes).

Thanks to the fact Teen Titans Go! is a full-on comedy and is Denser and Wackier, Raven has gotten this treatment in comparison to Teen Titans. In many episodes she isn't even remotely stoic or reserved.

Supergirl:
Post-Crisis Kara felt confused, irascible and pretty miserable upon arriving on Earth. Several months later she'd adapted to Earth and learned to be a hero, and she was pretty happy with her life.
Her Post-Flashpoint self found out that Krypton, her family, her friends, her old life... were gone right after crash-landing on Earth. For a long time she was a upset, lonely, angsty teenager struggling through her abandonment and anger issues and her inability to fit in with humans. After undergoing character development, which ironically involved a Red Lantern stint, she let her anger and confusion go and become a happier and more optimistic person.

RWBY:
Weiss Schnee goes from a grumpy, arrogant, slightly self-centered young lady to one that while still quite uppity, cares about her teammates' well-being, will joke around with her teammates (much to their dismay), and has no problem openly fawning over a Precious Puppy.
Blake Belladonna goes from being a deeply stoic and broody young girl with a Deadpan Snarker attitude in Volume 1, to being rather positive and sociable (though she's still quite reserved by comparison to her teammates) by Volume 3. Then inverted completely at the end of Volume 3 with the return of Adam Taurus, which leaves her traumatized, prone to sudden bursts of shouting and irrationality, paranoid, and easily embarrassed. She starts to get over it over the course of Volume 4 with help from Dogged Nice Guy Sun, though.

Evangelion 303:
Asuka goes through this several times: at the beginning she was very distressed and glum because her performance was slipping. Then she met Shinji, after a while -and several fights- they got together and her mood got sunnier to the point that everybody commented on it. Later she fell on very hard times and she became angrier, loathful and depressed. After getting over her issues she became again happier and bolder.
Rei became emotionless after an accident and had a hard time reconnecting with her squad mates (and everybody else). After the Love Triangle tangling Kaworu, Saburo and herself up got resolved, she started to smile more often.

Takeo starts out Takeo-chan Bukkairoku distant and disinclined to open up to people. This is largely due to the curse that causes her to be Born Unlucky and makes her The Jinx to everyone around her. The youkai she lives with discover that the key to surprising her, and thus causing her to expel the negative energy within her for them to devour, is happiness, because she's felt it so rarely that it's a genuine shock to her system when she experiences it. As a result, they dedicate themselves to making her happy so they can feed off her energy and, despite this being completely counter-intuitive for the majority of them, they are successful and Takeo eventually reaches a point that she can declare she will not give in to despair ever again.

The Child of Love:
After finding out she was pregnant, Asuka spent several weeks feeling angrier and more depressed than usual. After that time her mood changed again due to her physical shifts and she started to behave in a more joyful, cheerier fashion.
Shinji also became happier after Asuka and him got together.

In Homestuck, when Aradia first enters the comic, she's completely unable to feel emotion because she's actually a ghost. She insists that she doesn't mind this state, but everyone else finds her depressing to talk with. Then she gets better. Able to feel emotion again, she chooses to look at the bright side of everything and becomes unrelentingly happy. So happy that she regularly creeps her friends out.

Fluttershy in Royal Business, as Spike notices when he runs into her in mid-air. She's friendly, smiling and even mischievous with Rainbow Dash after they re-bonded and became friendlier than ever before with Rainbow Dash in Dragonshyness. This is Fluttershy's normal reaction to discovering that somepony loves her, as we also see (four years later) regarding Bulk Biceps in "Equestria Games".

Doing It Right This Time:
Before the timeline restarted Asuka was so infuriated, hopeless and fed up with everything she just wanted to die. When she woke up in her room back in Germany, three months before the beginning of the War, and realized she had another chance, she was absolutely giddy.
So did Rei. Not having her emotions dampened, gaining a decent big sister figure, and developing a closer relationship with her teammates improved her erstwhile somber mood a lot.
Shinji... Well, he still has a way to go, but he's getting there.

PJ from Goof Troop starts out depressed and hopeless in the pilot. In the main part of the series and the first movie he's mainly a world-weary Nervous Wreck with some despondent moments and relatively frequent contentment. By the end of the second movie, he's the happiest guy around. These changes occurred because of the positive influences of befriending Max and leaving home and finding a girlfriend.

Mahou Sensei Negima!:
Setsuna started as cold as ice due to seeing herself as a Failure Knight, but after the events of the Kyoto Arc, she opened up a lot more and became friendlier and happier. Lampshaded by Evangeline during their match in the Mahora Festival Tournament Arc, where she told Setsuna to give up her newfound happiness because it made her boring and weak.
Asuna was originally a smart-mouthed Emotionless Girl typical of Mystical Waifs like her, but frequent, violent interactions with her Unknown Rival Ayaka turned her into the Fiery Redhead Tsundere of today.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All, Adrian Andrews is at best stern and unapproachable, and a psychologically crippled person who needs someone she can look up to for emotional stability. By the next game, Trials and Tribulations, she's cheered up considerably thanks to Phoenix's involvement in the last case in which they met, and is now a cordial and cooperative museum curator.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Twilight Sparkle started off the series as an acerbic recluse, and uninterested in socializing in favor of her studies for Princess Celestia. After the events of the pilot, she comes to appreciate the importance of friendship, and slowly becomes more cheerful and friendly (if still sometimes snarky). It's rather odd to watch earlier episodes compared to those of later on, where she is sometimes extremely perky and even a bit naïve.
Pinkie Pie used to be a very dour, American Gothic kind of little girl, but then she witnessed something amazing, and felt herself smile for the first time. Inducing this in others is Pinkie Pie's Life Mission.
The Season 5 episode "Make New Friends but Keep Discord" ends with Princess Celestia heartily reveling in how much excitement Discord and the Smooze brought to the Grand Galloping Gala. This included spreading magic-resistant ooze all over everypony and threatening to banish one of the guests to another dimension. This is the first time she allows herself to be seen as anything other than The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask.

Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton: Developing powers and becoming a super-heroine made Asuka a happier, more cheerful and more positive person who did not need to pilot a giant robot to feel her life was not worthless.

Cohle from True Detective, spends the whole season this close to complete nihilism, yet he manages to find a sense of hope and optimism by the end.

Noah from Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race starts out as a Deadpan Snarker. After he falls in love he still snarks, but is overall a lot more cheerful.

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
At the beginning of the Oak's Summer Camp Gaiden, Serena is not happy to be left at the titular camp while Grace is busy with a Rhyhorn Racing Cup in Kanto. However, after she meets Ash, she quickly grows to like it and at the end admits she had a lot of fun.
Misty in the main story as well. When introduced, she has a rather cynical attitude due to her terrible childhood and being kicked out of her home by her sisters. A few months of traveling with Ash help her develop a more positive outlook of life, enough that while aboard the S.S. Anne, she's not above engaging in some playful teasing by dragging him into a swimsuit-shopping spree.

Nico di Angelo in The Trials of Apollo. While he's not all puppies and butterflies by any stretch, he's far more cheerful than he was at the end of The Heroes of Olympus, likely thanks to his relationship with Will.

Saori from Wandering Son has a Friendless Background but when she met Nitori she began making friends. She however regressed when she became jealous of Takatsuki's friendship with Nitori, not helped when Nitori told her she confessed to Takatsuki, and Took A Level In Jerk Ass that lasted most of middle school. Eventually they all made up and Saori is noticeably less moody come high school. She smiles more and is quite friendly with Takatsuki.

Higher Learning: The three pilots are hit with this thanks to Kaoru's lessons and counseling. Shinji becomes hopeful for the future, Asuka gets less angry and less introvert, and Rei starts enjoying her life.

Azjel in Dora Wilk Series. When seen in book two of the series, he's a dour, emotionless tykebomb. Thanks to Dora Care Bear Staring him by accident, by the time of short story Eternal Pen, taking place a year after the book, he's positively a Genki Guy.

A Crown of Stars:
After going through a war, the end of the world and surviving in a wrecked world, Asuka was mentally broken, exhausted, bitter and angry with everyone and everything. When she arrived on Avalon, people cared about her, offered counseling and helped her to set several things right, and as a result Asuka's mood improved considerably. When Shinji saw her again after several hours he was shocked because she was acting more like the bold, cheerful girl she was when he met her.
Shinji, too. Hooking up with his life's love, getting his mother, family and friends back and fighting for a worthy cause -for once- cheered him up tremendously.

In The Second Try:
After meeting Aki, Rei becomes more cheerful and smiles more often.
After saving the world and meeting their daughter again, Shinji and Asuka are happier and less burdened.

Super Smash Bros. does this with Princess Zelda. Melee uses her Ocarina of Time iteration, while Brawl and 3DS/Wii U use her Twilight Princess iteration; both iterations are as somber and stoic as they were in the Zelda games. Ultimate, in contrast, uses her A Link Between Worlds iteration, who is more cheerful and energetic.
