Though Pure Good heroes lack corrupting qualities, they may not have always started out this way. Some may have been villains in the past, or some may have possessed unpleasant or pernicious traits, like being a heroic jerk or arrogant.

Hence, these types of Pure Goods can be described as Wholly Reformed, as they have changed for the better and realized the wrongs of their corrupting qualities. They may not have started out as heroes, but they certainly have become better than that.

Redeemed Villains who become Pure Good automatically fall under this category for obvious reasons: however not all characters under this category are redeemed villains. It could also be a From Zero to Hero.

Please do not add Pure Good heroes here who have only faked corrupting qualities. For example, Pure Good heroes such as Haku, Captain Celaeno, Horace Nebbercracker, Esmeralda, and Bruno Madrigal are not allowed to be added to this category since they were never implied to have had actual corrupting qualities, even if they seemed that way to other characters. Those heroes should go under Misguided Heroes and/or False Antagonist instead. However, characters from any category can go here as long as they once had genuine corrupting qualities.

Also, heroes who originally had other prevention such as being too standard, incompetent, amoral, or reliant on fridge brilliance, but got more admirable, competent, motives and/or chracterization should not be added here either (e.g. Rosalina). This category is only for heroes who once had genuine corrupting qualities but ended up subverting and/or losing them.

Their Pure Evil equivalent is Wholly Debased. See also the Reformed category, which is about non-PG-heroes who end up subverting their corrupting qualities.
