ll heroes and villains alike are obviously dynamic, meaning they go through minor to major changes in terms of personality traits, abilities, and lastly, morality. It is possible for any kind of hero to commit a Face–Heel Turn, meaning they have turned to the dark side through various causes, such as corruption, persuasion from other villains, etc. Whereas villains perform a Heel–Face Turn, through other methods like purification, and again, persuasion from other heroes in order to win them over to the side of good. However, at least sometimes, a character will decide to join the side of neutrality instead, and because of that, the individual never joins sides, whether it would be factions, or various corporations alike through whatever reason may be.
Now granted, this is quite an unusual choice of action since it is quite rare for a malevolent as well as a benevolent character to join the forces of neutrality, even though neutrality usually avoids getting involved in conflicts and just wants to solve problems for the greater good, keeping things in balance, and as well as their utter capability to reform evil and pacifying good. Like all neutral characters, those that go through a Heel-Neutrality Turn, tend to be far more mature than ever, and they tend to focus on objectives of keeping everything in balance.
This trope mustn't be confused with the other trope, Heel–Face Revolving Door, which is where a character is constantly dynamic whenever it comes to their own very morality, whereas those that commit a Heel-Neutrality Turn, will remain roughly in the middle despite the fact that they don't join sides. It's also not to be confused with Retired Monster, since it talks about characters that have retired from being villains, whereas Heel-Neutrality Turn talks about either villains and heroes deciding to join the forces of neutrality.
This is in contrast with Adopt the Dog (which simply means the neutral character does something good and joins the benevolent side), and Neutral No Longer (which means that the neutral character finally chooses a side). Compare with Team Switzerland, which is when a third party refuses to join either side of a conflict.

The Bible:
In the Book of Genesis, the old and barren Sarah asks her husband Abraham to have a child with her slave Hagar, resulting in the birth of Ishmael. Considering that Sarah has authority over her servant, one can question whether or not Hagar was ok with the arrangement as the text never says that she was consulted for her consent.
David's affair with Bathsheba in the Books of Samuel. The facts that we know: David was on his palace roof when he saw her bathing nearby. He fell in lust with her and they slept together, even though she was married to David's general, Uriah. There are some people who will insist Bathsheba must have been trying to catch his eye if she was bathing where he could see her, some who will insist that David raped her, but the Biblical text leaves these details to your imagination.
Likewise, Absalom's going into his father David's ten concubines during his act of sedition against his father later on in 2nd Samuel can fall under this, as the concubines have little to no say of whether they would want to sleep with Absalom under such duress.
Many modern readers find the circumstances surrounding Mary's Mystical Pregnancy uncomfortable, even going so far as to call it rape, even though there was no actual sex involved. They question whether a mortal could truly give free consent when a deity requests to impregnate them. They also point out that Mary was most likely anywhere from 13-16 years old, and therefore would be considered a minor in our time. (Though she would have been considered an adult in her era.) On the other hand, the fact that God waited for her to give the okay before impregnating her, would, given the treatment of women in her society, have been downright Fair for Its Day.
In Celtic Mythology, Aífe attacks her rival (and sister, Depending on the Writer) Scáthach. Scáthach's student Cú Chulainn jumps into the fight and eventually has Aífe begging for her life. Cú Chulainn agrees to spare her under two conditions—she drops her beef with Scáthach and also bears him a son, to which she agrees. Also, Cú Chulainn was apparently ten when this happened?note
