** Adrien honestly wants to befriend Marinette, but as Misterbug he wants to capture Cheshire, her alter ego, and retrieve her Miraculous.
** Adrien can't help but compare the status of his civilian identity as "Paris's Golden Boy" with the cold reaction of the Parisians to his hero self, Misterbug.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36471028 Treading Along A Familiar Catwalk]]'': {{Downplayed}} while still PlayedForDrama. Adrien steps down as Chat Noir; unaware of his SecretIdentity, Ladybug then presents him with the Cat Miraculous, and he becomes Catwalker. While Chat Noir wasn't outright ''hated'', Catwalker earns more respect by maintaining his refined, professional and well-mannered model persona instead of joking around and flirting. Nino also [[SecretSecretKeeper knows that he's Adrien]], so he's much friendlier with him as Carapace; Ryuko considers him to be much more professional than his predecessor, and he and Ladybug enter a romantic relationship just like he'd always wanted... [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor at the cost of]] having to MaintainTheLie and keep up his false facade. Despite how unhealthy this is, he's willing to go through with it.

* In ''Manga/GushingOverMagicalGirls'', despite [[AscendedFanboy Utena]]'s ShrinkingViolet nature, Tres Magia in their civilian selves overall seems to feel a desire to interact with and get to know her, possibly even be her friend, which Utena appreciates but feels weirded out by. Meanwhile, in their magical girl forms the trio constantly work to stop [[VillainProtagonist Magia Baiser]] due to her service in Enormeeta, though the feeeling isn't mutual since Baiser utterly loves it when they triumph and beat her.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': in the sequel, Ron understandably ''despises'' the Winter Soldier because [[YouKilledMyFather he killed his father]], even though it was a MercyKill (Arthur was facing a FateWorseThanDeath at HYDRA's hands and knew it). On the other hand, he respects and admires the quietly wise Bucky Barnes, bodyguard to his best friend. It helps that he, like most of the rest of the world, believes the Winter Soldier is dead. It's hinted that he will eventually find out, and the fallout will ''not'' be pretty.

** ''Series/KamenRiderAgito'' serves as the template for later versions of the story. Ryo Ashihara is good friends with Shoichi Tsugami but wrongly believes Agito killed a girl he liked. When Ryo confronts Shoichi about it some time later, he's convinced that a MonsterOfTheWeek killing her, despite Shoichi's efforts, would make more sense.
