Turning over a new leaf is hard. Especially when no one believes that you're sincere about it, and/or won't forgive willingly. This is the companion trope to the Falsely Reformed Villain, who pretends to have reformed, but in reality is only biding his time while he plots his latest nefarious scheme. The hero, however, is not fooled. By contrast, the desire of the Reformed, But Rejected character to leave his evil ways in the past is completely genuine — but the hero still refuses to be "fooled."
