When a character that was once bad at the start of the story ends up turning good by the end. A bit of a simplification but that's the idea. The most notable one that a lot of us here know is Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender, where he was the main bad guy of season 1 but went through much hardships and self reflection during the series until finally joining w/ Aang and co. by the end of season 3. There's also Darth Vader from Star Wars who was a bad guy throughout the movies, but came to at the end of Episode 6 and threw the Emperor into the shaft.
What are some other noteworthy redemption arcs that you've seen in TV, movies, or video games?
Sticking to Nickelodeon, one quick one I thought about was Suzie Crabgrass from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. In season 1, she was primarily among the stuck up popular crowd. But she gradually got more friendly w/ Ned and Moze until she finally left behind the popular kids to be w/ Ned. Then they kinda wrote her off in the last season but that's a different topic.
