Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope!
Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Shrinking Violet Launcher of a Thousand Ships Despair Event Horizon Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him Blue-Collar Warlock Pop-Cultured Badass Your Soul is Mine One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Crutch Character A Taste of Power Magikarp Power Joke Character Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Stone Wall Glass Cannon Lightning Bruiser Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Giant Space Flea from Nowhere Game-Breaker Grand Finale ...

Today's trope is B***h in Sheep's Clothing. Here is the link:https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BitchInSheepsClothing
You meet someone you think is a really Nice Guy/Girl, or perhaps you meet a favorite celebrity for the first time, thinking that they'll be just as warm-hearted and cool as they are on camera. However, something happens to show their true colors, revealing an immature brat, total Jerkass, or even outright villain. Congratulations. You've just met the Bitch in Sheep's Clothing the polar opposite of Hidden Heart of Gold. The Wounded Gazelle Gambit is a favorite tactic of this sort of antagonist, and if they are genuinely evil, expect them to be a Villain with Good Publicity. It's also worth mentioning that this trope isn't exclusive to female characters. The title is a play on "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," and can apply to any gender. All it requires is a person appears to be nice, but is actually cruel and/or manipulative. TL,DR: A character who seems nice at first or in public, but they're not nearly as pleasant when they reveal their true colours. Nominations: New Brian (Family Guy) Ferris Boyle (Batman: The Animated Series) ... Copied to Clipboard!
