Villainous Loli Characters In Anime (Has it ever happened?)

[Kaioshin Sama]

I don't think so to be honest. Every series I've seen where there has been a battle between the supposed good side and the supposed evil side, if there's a loli character involved they've either been on the hero's side, or have switched sides to be on the hero's side, or have just plain never really been evil regardless and were fulfilling some naive ideal or just playing or whatever.

Really though, has anybody ever seen a series where a loli character has been portrayed as wholly evil (with both the intent and the act of being so) and beyond redemption like the children of the damned or something?

[Demi.]

Yes, Fate Testarossa from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. She is the perfect example of what you're looking for. Although she wasn't beyond redemption.

Also, Gretel from Otogi Jushi... Sortof.

Yes, correct. This is exactly what you're looking for, but only in the first season.

[Sorrow-K]

Wrong, people. Read the OP post. Fate Testarossa is precisely not what he's looking for.

First thing to spring to mind was Rifa from Idolm@ster: Xenoglossia. (Although, in all honesty, my instinctive answer to this question is "who cares?")

[Kamui4356]

Even from the start Fate wasn't evil. She was collecting the jewel seeds because she wanted to please her mother. Doing that was impossible, but Fate was still trying to be accepted, even as her mother abused her.

[KholdStare]

That's what we get after knowing her story. I did read the OP. I will argue that Fate never switched to the "hero's side," fighting against Nanoha until the very end. I'm starting to think that it's you guys who didn't read the OP.

Fate is exactly that. She's never switched sides, and she's never really been evil and just fulfilling her mother's wishes, but she was portrayed to be evil throughout the first season, and that's what matters.

[Lanner Falcon]

The Aizen Twins from Shakugan no Shana. They may have loved each other, but they were villains till the end.

Well, one was a shota, but the other still counts…

[yezhanquan]

Priscilla from Claymore fits part of the description, but her mind seemed to have regressed back to that of a child. Still, I think she might be what you're looking for.

Muda muda muda muda mudaa!
Deep breaths, KholdSecks.
Here's the quote for reference:

You're supporting that she wasn't ever on the hero's side, and she didn't really switch sides, because she was never really evil, but Kaoishin-sama said:

That's exactly what Fate was, though.
That she was portrayed to be evil doesn't really matter, since it means she wasn't actually evil at all, and by the end of the series, the viewers' empathy/sympathy/atrophy would let them realise it.

Lots of fun with italics in that post. All right.

There we go.
It was even Yukari Tamura, so even more loli points there.

Well you are actually right as I think Fate was one of those side changers. As for who cares, people who find it curious that they seem to be the one character "class" (shall we say) that is never really evil and always seems to have some manipulation story behind them at worst. I think the trope was called Tyke Bomb. Although Riffa comes close perhaps to being a truly evil loli character in never really progressing beyond sociopathic tendencies towards axe murdering. Though again that came across in the end as one of those stories of a child that was never taught the rules of right and wrong judging by the fact that she seemed to think it was all a game her "mother" cooked up.

And obviously you care too as you deigned to answer.

wat about Illyasviel von Einzbern from FSN? she did play the evil role until her hero was defeated then was a live-in vistor in shirou's house.

[KholdStare]

I don't know what qtip just did, except quoted me and said that I'm right while saying I'm wrong.

Well it's up to each person to say if Fate is changes side or not.

That's an example of side-changing though.

I said that you said about Fate was right (even though I personally think Fate was a side-changer to some extent) but that because you were right, Fate wasn't an evil loli because it contradicted what the terms of being an evil loli.

And I don't think it's possible to have an evil loli with no strings attached.
Children always have that childlike innocence, so unless it was an older mind/soul/whatever in a younger body via immortality, magic, etc., it wouldn't be possible.

[KholdStare]

Qtip, if you're really bored, you can try to animate snow for me~.

EDIT: Wait, I think I won this thread. Machi from Nagasarete Airantou fits.

Snow falling down on a Nagisa lying down as opposed to falling down on a screen with an overhead view?
Yes, I stalk.
I can try, depending on how many frames I'm allowed.

And what am I talking about?
Mariko/Number 35 from Elfen Lied was pretty evil.

[KholdStare]

You can have as many frames as it takes so that Nagisa doesn't look like a monochromatic lump of coal. Since the background is mostly gray, we can get by with less colors. Transforming the snow layers so that it makes a falling down to center effect is hard though.

Oh, and since I have nothing else to say, I second Mariko, even though...well she never switched sides, but she...is weird.

It's hard not to make Nagisa not look like a lump of coal.

Ha!

And yes, I can try.

Okay, I'll e-mail you someday after I marathon CCS again. Didn't I just do that like a month ago?

And to be on topic, Sakura is not what the OP is looking for.

[Kaioshin Sama]

Ahem, guys, that is what PM's are for.

And if Mariko is the character from Elfen Lied, didn't she end up going all daddy's little girl once the scientist showed up to take her away and then they were going to live happily ever after until.....well. I don't know, that's yet another example of lacking the knowledge between right and wrong more (lacking the mens reas) than truly evil tendencies and seeing things as a game. She had the opportunity to off the doctor though, but didn't because he was her father, so that I think shows a capacity towards compassion and love. The twin from Shana may actually qualify though, I never thought of that.

[KholdStare]

Well, one can say that Mariko was evil because she wanted to be accepted by her father, so she was evil until the very end. The fact that she's going to live happily ever after doesn't mean she switched sides.
