Line 120:
* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'' revolves around this trope. Yui is raped basically within 5 minutes of her second trip there, and becomes a vengeful, hateful villainess, primarily because of her {{spoiler|bishonen bodyguard Nakago, who warped her mind to the point where she blames her best friend Miaka for the rape, since she wasn't there to help her. Eventually, it turns out that Yui was never actually raped, but the entire thing was a [[Gambit Roulette|ridiculously complicated plan]] by Nakago to pit them against each other as a part of a larger plan to stage a coup in Genbu. Later he tries to rape Miaka as well but fails, though he ''does'' get her to believe that it happened until someone else explains the mess.}}
** Also, that whole arc where {{spoiler|Yui drugs Tamahome to make him betray Miaka, who was temporarily broken until she breaks the spell with [[The Power of Love]]. Then, Miaka's own mistakes make everything ''worse'' for her, Tamahome, and their friends}}
** Chiriko, Chiriko, Chiriko. This is a ten-year-old boy who initially [[Refusal of the Call|Refused the Call]] when he realized he was a designated Suzaku warrior, because he was terrified of going to war (like any normal child would be). His final fate, in which {{spoiler|HE STABS HIMSELF IN THE CHEST as a [[Taking You with Me]] attack on an enemy warrior}}, is so heartbreaking that even his adult comrades Tasuki and Mitsukake are brought to tears by witnessing it.
** Suboshi and Amiboshi, impoverished twin orphans who have the misfortune of being recruited by [[Manipulative Bastard]] Nakago. Suboshi deals by becoming a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Jerkass]], later crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] and thereby losing his "cutie" status ([[Draco in Leather Pants|for most fans, anyway]]); Amiboshi fares much better, but even he still has {{spoiler|a [[Driven to Suicide|suicide attempt to his name]], and only reaches happiness when [[Tear Jerker|his memory of the preceding 15 years is completely erased]]... thanks by Suboshi, [[Pet the Dog|as his last act of kindness ever]].}}
* Misuzu from ''[[AIR]]'' arguably qualifies, since a lot of time and effort is put into presenting her as a sweet, lovable, although somewhat peculiar girl—only to {{spoiler|have her suffer enormous pain in the last few episodes and die in the arms of her adoptive mother, her aunt Haruko. Her final moments are still [[Tear Jerker|gruesomely beautiful]], though}}.
Line 293:
* Please don't be a female lead in a [[Mayu Shinjo]] manga. And ''specially'', don't name yourself [[Haou Airen|Kurumi Akino]] or [[Sensual Phrase|Aine Yukimura]]. Because you'll end up horribly broken not just by your boyfriend's rivals/enemies/scorned women, but [[Bastard Boyfriend|by your own boyfriend]].
