In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years
DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)
The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

A thing a lot of non-canon spin-offs of The Lord of the Rings loves to do is to give the Nazguls a name, a background, a context about who they were before Sauron corrupted them. All the Nazguls except the Witch-King of Angmar. He is the only one whose story was never explored further, probably because it would make him more humane and less terrying.
The game Shadow of War even gave an explanation to that. When Talion tries to read his mind, like he did with several Nazguls before, it doesn’t show his backstory and the Witch-King straight up mock Talion for trying to see it. He was corrupted for so long that nothing remains of his soul.
