Pure of Heart

"My mission is noble, my heart is pure I have nothing to fear!"

- Samurai Jack Opposed to what you would think, being pure of heart doesn't mean being a perfect, flawless hero. Basically, the Pure of Heart is the direct opposite of the Complete Monsters (a villain who is the most evil and depraved, without being redeemed). It means that they want to make the world better, or at least keep it from getting any worse. Not for themselves, but for everyone that lives in it. A Pure of Heart's heroic deeds are as natural as living and breathing; he or she is also identifiable through these traits:

Older pure of heart characters started off as pure of heart, while in newer times, characters become pure of heart during character development. That's why some categories (like Antiheroes and On & Off heroes, with FEW exceptions) do not fit this one. It is also known as "Incorruptible Pure Pureness". '''Important Note: For future reference the following categories are by and large not compatible with Pure of heart, and should be remembered before listing a character as this: Heroic Sociopaths, Sadistic Heroes, Heroic Murderer, Heroic Assassins, Morally Ambiguous. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule but they are exactly that: exceptions. If a character fits any of these, think twice before listing them as Pure of heart because chances are they don't fit it.'''
 * Pleasant: The character is basically nice and reasonable with any other character, and tries to get along with anyone who interacts with him, even if they are hostile to him.
 * Selfless: They think about others before themselves, and wouldn't hesitate to risk their lives to save others, sometimes even people they don't know.
 * Incorruptible: No matter how many times they are tempted, or how much pains they go through, a pure heart doesn't surrender to his inner demons, like anger.
 * Forgiving: They give their enemies chances and allows them to redeem themselves. Sometimes, they even save their enemies, after being their victims.
 * Reluctant to kill: Some never kill any foe, no matter how cruel they are. Yet some do, though only in self defense (or in an equitable fight), in last resort, and with remorse. Heroes who have fun killing cannot be labelled pure of hearts, if they kill more than one person at least in a limited number.
 * Acts: A true hero shows his courage through actions, such as saving lives, or at least making life much easier for people in need. And most importantly, they expect no reward, and that goes for certain greedy heroes who can show their nice side.
 * Naive: Sometimes, the hero just can't grasp unto most concepts, such as technology, money, or intercourse. Mostly, this is why they aren't interested in power or greed. Heroes that have this trait often are children or grow up in a primitive society.
 * This term has been taken from TV tropes. For more information, see the original article.

Sliding Scale of Heroes
This wiki currently recognizes four different overarching standards for a hero's morality. We of course recognize several more types there in that may overlap but each of the above sum up overarching character and should not be entered lightly. Please note by it's nature no one can recover from being a sociopath if they can, they were never sociopaths in the first place. And while Pure of heart can be former villains they can not fall back into said habits willingly as by nature once Pure of heart a hero is incorruptible.
 * 1) The Pure of heart: Those who are above petty selfish behaviors and act entirely for the sake of others and are incorruptible in their pursuits.
 * 2) Outright Heroes: The standard hero model, not incorruptible and possibly even less than heroic on occasion but over all virtuous and true.
 * 3) Good Hearted Bastards: Those who may appear brash, selfish or uncaring but are beneath the surface caring and well intentioned heroes.
 * 4) Heroic Sociopaths: Those with no conscience or moral center incapable of functioning on a moral level but whom still assist the forces of good either for practical reasons or as a circumstance of story.

 * MV5BMTk4MzY1NjQ4MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODI1MjE1OQ@@._V1_.jpgIchabod Crane, the protagonist of the storyline, is the First Witness in the Biblican prophecy as well as a duty driven man ever since he was young. First fought for the British Army, Ichabod was highly disturbed by the diablolical tyranny committed by the British Army so that he had a change of heart, and soon he joined Washington to fight for Patroits and freeing the slaves and oppressed citizens in colony. While being captured, Ichabod was forced by General William Howe to gave him the names of every single colonial spies in exchange of being pardoned. Despite being tempted by the offer for a very short while, Ichabod immediately made a noble choice to refuse Howe's request, and yet the feeling of guilt always haunted him, even to the point of horror due to the fact that he was once near the point of no return. Later, under Washington's order, Ichabod was on a mission to assassinate Howe, but with respected to his former master, Ichabod first mercifully pleadged Howe to leave Manhattan before Howe refused to do so - much to his dismay. When Benedict Arnold became a turncoat, Ichabod deduced that Arnold was tempted by the evil forces and start feeling his betrayl as a sad event he tried to avoid for all his life. After the attack of the Horseman against the Van Tassel family, Ichabod had made a wrong judgement but soon came to rescue his wife and friends as soon as the truth was unfold, eventually sacrifising his own life to defeat the Horseman... for the first time. After being revived with the Horseman 232 years after his demise, Ichabod teamed up with Abbie and raced against time to save his beloved wife, Katrina, even knowing the risk it might take. After knowing his son, Jeremy/Henry Parrish, became the Horseman of War, Ichabod denied Abbie's order to slay Henry. Instead, Ichabod pleadged Henry to leave Moloch, take his own life and leave others alone so that Henry could find peace, being the polar opposite of Moloch who treated Henry as a expendable pawn and let him fight the Witnesses to death. Ichabod's heroic deeds even made a corrupted Henry to forgave his parents he had been hated for more than two centuries, making Henry to defeat Moloch and saving others. Being a soldier, Ichabod knew the right thing to do to save the entire world, in contrast to Abbie & Jenny whose emotions nearly blinded their judgements.
 * Mckey_mary-eunice_9763.jpgSister Mary Eunice is the Big Good of the storyline and one of the most selfless spirit guides in the story. Being a kind, naive and pleasant nun, Mary Eunice had a natural beauty as well as an ability to please everyone. Her mentor, Sister Jude, cared for Mary Eunice very much despite being strict to her, and she had saw her naive personality as purity, a purity full of selfless virtue which had even moved the cruel and sadistic Dr. Arthur Arden, a former Nazi mad scientist, making him to fall in love with her. Sadly, her purity caused her disastrous effect when a Devil invaded Braircliff and posssessed her, trying to use her purity as a shield and twisting her personality, trying to the asylum and even the entire Catholic Church, breaking Sister Jude's mind, flirting with Dr. Arden (to his sheer anger) and using Oliver Thredson (Bloody Face) as a psychological doctor to taunt Lana Winters... During this time, the real Mary Eunice felt those horrid torments and was tormented that even she tried to kill herself since she was too weak. Eventually, breaking the Devil's control, Sister Mary Eunice used the last ounce of her sanity to release her soul from the Devil, becoming a wiser soul guide who built the Team Witness. Being the good counterpart of many other villains, Sister Mary Eunice is selfless, helpful as well as encouraging. In The Corbin Files, when Katarina Couteau and her friends came into the past, Sister Mary Eunice became their guide "if [her] Red Haired Demon commands". She is also awared of the situation, knowing what was the best choice if she had to make one, so she refused a Hexemeister agent's request to make Katarina staying in Sleepy Hollow, knowing the red haired warrior was the key person who will stop Eckidina KnightWalker from destroying the world in future. Always refusing to succub to failure, Sister Mary Eunice encouraged Katarina whenever she lost their hope, cheered her up whenever she fell depressed, and she was always came to help Katarina out as long as she existed in existence, eventually gaining Katarina's respect. In the eyes of Katarina and Ichabod, Sister Mary Eunice is like a guide, a mentor, an true angel as well as a friend in need - therefore a friend indeed. Like Monsignor Howard said, the Devil shall never defeat Mary Eunice since her purity was still inside and was never tarnished despite all the Devil's horrid deeds.
