Line 8:
* It's debated on the forums, but Syphile from ''[[Drowtales]]'' started as a [[Jerkass]] with slight hints of [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], but then she left Ariel in a room with her pet cat for a week with no provisions for the calls of nature, resulting in Fuzzy becoming very sick with Ariel unable to do anything about it. When Syphile came back and saw what had happened she blamed Ariel and took that cat away, and then when the cat bit her she slammed his head against the wall and killed him. To top it off, when Ariel was understandably upset about this Syphile beat her to make her stop crying. Earlier versions of the story had portrayed Syphile somewhat sympathetically (possibly [[Unintentionally Sympathetic|unintentionally]]) but this act cemented her as a total bitch in many people's minds.
** Quain'tana crossed it for many people at the realization that {{spoiler|she had ordered her own daughter raped in an attempt to conceive an heir}} and then {{spoiler|stole the baby Mel managed to have with Zhor}} on top of the many, ''many'' [[Abusive Parents|horrible things]] she's done to her other children, but those particular moments seemed particularly callous and cruel compared to the others.
*** And now we have [https://web.archive.org/web/20171008055845/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7838 this]. Now we, as the audience, know that her paranoia and distrust of Mel is actually not unjustified since she's literally in bed with the enemy, but breaking your own daughter's arms? That's ''way'' too much. Even worse in that she originally wanted Lulianne, one of the few people Mel can call a friend, to do it, but later did the deed herself. At least {{spoiler|Syphile}} attacked her with the express intent to kill, making her death more justifiable.
** And of course the biggest and undisputed moment in the series happened in the backstory during the Nidraa'chal War, when {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune, Sarv'swati and Zala'ess Vel'Sharen}} orchestrated the entire war and the deaths and forceful demonification of hundreds if not ''thousands'' of people in order to {{spoiler|kill their mother Val'Sharess Diva'ratrika by sealing her in her own throne room until she died, and frame their sister Sil'lice and force her into exile}}. And while a case could be made for [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}} was sent even further beyond the horizon at the revelation that {{spoiler|1=[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1275 she's deliberately given faulty demonic seeds to many of her followers that will slowly kill them within 25 to 50 years until only a few of her choosing are left]}}. It's not a matter of if it's going to catch up them as when since the plot is starting to fall down around them.
* In ''[[Scary Go Round]]'', former [[Designated Hero]] Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte's psychopathic jealousy of universally popular heroine Shelley Winters finally drives her to arrange Shelley's death via [[All Bikers Are Hells Angels|biker gang]]. The author confirms her crossing of the M.O.E. by having her sell her soul to the devil and [[Put on a Bus|skip town]]. When she returns a few years later, it's only to have [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|a bridge dropped on her]].
