* ''Webcomic/BetterDays'': Throughout his early childhood, Fisk Black continues to engage in a number of unchildlike behaviors that are ignored by his adult peers, or turn out to be helpful enough to shift attention away from the inherent awfulness. This includes fighting off his mother's attempted rapist with a baseball bat, losing his virginity to another girl in elementary school, and beginning an incestuous relationship with his sister.

** When we see Azula in a flashback to when she was about 8 years old, she engages in typical activities such as teasing her brother and her friend who has a crush on him, doing cartwheels, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick throwing rocks at animals, throwing fireballs at people, hopefully suggesting that her uncle and cousin might die in battle so her father can inherit the throne, setting dolls on fire, mocking her uncle for leaving a battle after her cousin died]], [[spoiler:cheerfully telling her brother and mother that her father has been ordered to murder her brother]]...

** We first see Azula, aged eleven or twelve, in a flashback, smirking with glee as her brother and father have a fight. [[spoiler:That ends with her father calling his apologetic son a disrespectful traitor before ''burning off half of his face'' for refusing to fight back.]] At age fourteen, Azula isn't much better. She constantly lies and is as cruel as ever. Her introduction scene has her threatening to throw a man off a boat, and by the end of the season [[spoiler: she graduates to ''murdering'' her 12-year-old adversary.]] In the end, [[spoiler:Azula ends up having a VillainousBreakdown during a life-or-death duel against her brother]]. Unlike other examples, it is darkly fascinating as a study. As Azula felt neglected or treated like a monster by her mother, she ended up emulating her father, like children tend to do sometimes. It gets a bit gray as to how much of Azula's cruelty is a byproduct of neglect and Ozai's (and by extension, her environment) upbringing and how much was legitimately her own doing.

** Probably [[AxCrazy Revy]]. From what can be gathered from the tiny flashbacks, she was raised on the streets of [[BrooklynRage a less-good place in]] UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity and probably learned her gun skills from gangsters, and killed someone, [[spoiler:her own father, to be exact,]] using a pillow as a silencer when she was still pretty young.
