Line 83:
* Merrill in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' has a lot of this in her backstory, and even more in-game, especially if you take the Rivalry path.
* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' isn't nice on anyone and nobody makes it through the series without marks (literally with Garrus, who loses half his face in his case), but following the themes of the series, they all learn to cope with it. Because there really is no coice. Some have it worse than others, though:
** While Liara takes the death of her estranged mother reasonably well, she is barely recognizable after Shepards return from the dead two years later. From a hopeful and socially akward scientists, she turns into a ruthless and occasionally mean leader of her very own spy ring [[Took a Level
** Kelly is probably the minor character for which Cutie is the most appropriate. In the third game you can find her again and she refuses to set foot on the Normandy due to PTSD, but she still manages helping refugees who had it as bad as her.
** And then there's Talitha, one of the few minor characters that you can comfort, and given the utter hell she's gone through -- {{spoiler|being captured from Shepard's village by Batarian slavers at the age of six after watching her parents burned alive and spending thirteen years as a slave during which she was abused severely}}—she definitely needs it.
Line 100:
* Ezio Auditore in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' watched helplessly as his father and two brothers were executed as part of a conspiracy, and spent the next twenty years hunting down those responsible. It's painful to watch his transformation from the carefree, wise-cracking son of a banker into a revenge-driven assassin, and he only barely manages to avoid becoming just like his enemies. The execution scene is especially heartrending, because as soon as Ezio shouts "I'll kill you!", you know there is no going back to the way things were before.
** Also, {{spoiler|his girlfriend Cristina}} was shown to be killed in Assassins Creed Brotherhood in one of the flash-back missions.
* Almost every, single, girl in [[
** In [[Cute Monster Girl|Mak]][[Ms. Fanservice|oto]]'s notoriously nightmarish [[Bad End]], Relius does this via prolonged and precision-guided [[Mind Rape]]. Makoto apparently [[Your Soul Is Mine|does not survive the experience]].
** On the male end of the spectrum, there is Carl Clover, who witnessed his sister being turned into a machine by his father, and was scarred for life.
