These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

* BigSisterInstinct: Riko eventually forms this kind of bond with Haruhi, and eventually begins referring to her as ''imouto''. ("Little sister")
* BrilliantButLazy: Riko is a bestselling author known for her acclaimed ''Adventures of Ami'' series. To say that her house is untidy, however, is a massive understatement.
* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Of the friendship variety. [[spoiler:Masami, Riko's best friend, is at first ''livid'' when she finds out that Riko was dating Takashi and lied to her about it. She gets over it when Umi and Chiko come to talk to her about it.]]
* CharacterDevelopment
** Riko, by the end of the series, is much more willing to stand up for herself rather than keep her head ducked down. She also becomes considerably more open.
** Masami eventually gets over her ItsAllAboutMe attitude and reforms her relationship with Riko after their BreakUpMakeUpScenario.

''Awkward Silence'' is an ''Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' fanfiction by Clockwork's Apprentice.
The story follows Riko Shibata, another crossdressing student at Ouran Academy. Riko prefers to spend her time writing her novels than socializing with others, but when her mother makes her a deal to leave her be for a week if she joins a club, she takes her up on the offer. You can guess which club she decides to join.
The story can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11302032/1/Awkward-Silence here]].

* AbusiveParents
** Akane Shibata, lovingly referred to as "Ursula" by Riko. She degrades and insults Riko on a daily basis, insulting her about everything from her appearance to her voice to her interests. [[spoiler:We later find out that, when she discovered her brother-in-law had raped Riko, she did nothing because she was having an affair with said brother-in-law and just became furious at Riko. In the final chapters, she assaults Riko in a fit of rage, which ultimately leads to her downfall.]]
** Not that Riko's father is much better. [[spoiler:He immediately left Riko behind with her mother (whom he KNEW was abusing her) simply out of disgust and anger - and didn't bother to come back afterwards.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Riko, ''God bless.'' [[spoiler:We find out around halfway through the story that she was raped by her uncle (several times) when she was younger. Her mother, who was having an affair with said uncle, did nothing other than slap her for telling her. Her father left soon after out of disgust. Needless to say, Riko was...fazed.]]
* FluffyTheTerrible: Riko has a pet snake and a pet tarantula named Cuddles and Bubbles respectively.
* HatesBeingTouched: Riko, as a result of her above DarkAndTroubledPast. Tamaki ends up learning this the hard way when he becomes overly touchy with her and sends her into a panic.
* RealityEnsues: Several times.
** [[spoiler:When Riko's father explains his reasons for leaving his daughter behind, it is NOT a heartfelt reunion with hugs and kisses. Riko is furious, rightly so, and wants nothing to do with him.]]
