Broken Bird: Difference between revisions

** Yuki Nagato, too. She lives out 2 weeks repeatedly for more than 15,000 times in Endless Eight. That's nearly 600 years, according to Kyon's calculations in the anime and in the novels. In both versions, Kyon sees her sadness easily, and worries, because she is usually [[The Stoic]] turned [[Up to Eleven]]. That experience gave her emotions, and made her {{spoiler|steal Haruhi's powers and create an alternate universe where everyone is normal and Haruhi is [[Put On a Bus]].}} It also nearly led to her deletion by her boss. If you thought 8 episodes of Endless Eight was bad, just imagine going through the whole thing more than 15,000 times, with no breaks, and each episode lasting 20,160 minutes instead of 23 minutes.

* Vietnam, according to some ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' [[Fanon]] based in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Vietnam the country's Real Life History]. In it, she was once an innocent young fisher-girl, but years of suffering as a plaything to China, France, America, and other larger powers forced her to become a battle-hardened soldier. Exactly ''how'' broken and embittered she is, [[Alternate Character Interpretation|is left to imagination]]: sometimes she's an unstable [[Dark Action Girl]], sometimes, she's the [[Team Mom]] to the younger Asians. (The canon leans more towards the second interpretation, as she's shown to be rather quiet and mature but with slight self-image issues.)

** It's also a popular portrayal of Hungary (the local [[Hot Amazon]]), Ukraine (the Slavic [[Team Mom]]), Belarus (Ukraine's younger sister), Belgium (Netherlands's sister), and Taiwan (Vietnam's sister and [[The Cutie]] from the Asian group) in [[Dark Fic|Dark Fics]]. Vietnam and Taiwan's "brother", Hong Kong, is sometimes made into a male [[Broken Bird]] in fics.

** China himself could also qualify as this, [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|considering how long he's lived]], [[The Woobie|what's he's lived through]], [[Useful Notes/China|and how much the actual country itself has suffered throughout the years]], [[Yaoi Fangirl|fangirls]] don't hesitate to put him in this position.
