Not All Bad

A positive alternative to a villain being Not Always Nice, a hero or heroine can prove he or she is Not All Bad. This means that the protagonist or some other good guy character can prove there is more to him or her than meets the eye. In other words, this type of hero is a book that should not be judged by his cover. For instance, a spoiled rich girl can prove herself a compassionate friend or a scary monster can have a heart of gold.
