Envious

For heroes[]

Not every hero is perfect, envious heroes are an example. These kinds of heroes mostly lose their way when they get jealous over someone for something they don't have.

Note: Envious heroes can only be Pure Good if they are in a calm/good way, care for others at the same time and not go too far in their enviousness. Envious heroes that take their jealousy too far (such as anger and hatred) cannot qualify as Pure Good unless the former emotion is minimal and strictly limited (e.g. Princess Zelda in Breath of the Wild)

For villains[]

Villains who are motivated (at least partially) by envy or jealousy, these are villains who revile and despise the hero or someone else for possessing something that they lack, be it a physical possession or something conceptual and abstract, such as success, popularity, love, wealth, power, or something else entirely. Envy is a common motivation for villains even to the point of obsession. Fittingly, it is also one of the Seven Deadly Sins and is actually considered to be second only to Pride in severity. Being severely envious of someone else can also lead to early stages of mental insanity.

They can be tragic or insecure in that they are motivated, hardworking and conscientious characters who genuinely have very little success or constantly fail at their goals, all the while being forced to spend their lives constantly confronted by others' wealth and success (e. g. Aki Myojin).
