Line 52:
* [[Collection of Sacrifices]], a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|MLP: FiM]] fic, has Jadie. In the first two chapters alone, she's torn away from her family, kidnapped and forced into the army, forced to watch a public torture session on someone she presumably looked up to, has no friends in the camp (so far), and we leave off at chapter two with her being attacked. The one character who provides her '''any''' sympathy is still a rather large [[Jerkass]]. It seems like this many twists wouldn't work well, but the author(s) manage to pull it off spectacularly.
* Speaking of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' fics, many of them portray [[Fan Nickname|Derpy Hooves]] this way, even though in canon, she's just one of several ponies who appear in the background, who just happens to have a strabismus. "[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/story-bubbles.html Bubbles]" and "[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/story-today-tomorrow-and-forever.html Today, Tomorrow, and Forever]" are two noteworthy examples.
* If you thought [[Shrinking Violet|Shifty]] [[Precious Puppy|Dingo]] was a sympathetic character in [[Blinky Bill|The Adventures Of Blinky Bill]] the fanfic [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190822113606/https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7782580/1/ Scars Are Forever] takes this trope and cranks it [[Up to Eleven]]. In the first chapter, he is verbally abused by Blinky to the point where he breaks down in tears and all he wanted to do is give Blinky a cookie to cheer him up. In the 3rd chapter, {{spoiler|he is kidnapped and tortured by Jeromy, a [[Complete Monster]] villain who [[Cold-Blooded Torture|burns him with matches, cuts his tail off and uses his severed tail to strangle him.]] He spends the entire 4th chapter in a coma because of this}} and in the 5th chapter {{spoiler|He finally wakes up and Nutsy and Danny Dingo tell him they killed the [[Complete Monster]]. Shifty then [[What the Hell, Hero?|chews them out for fear they will be arrested and locked up]], cries himself to sleep and [[Heroic BSOD|becomes mute for TWO WHOLE WEEKS only communicating with heartwrenching whimpers.]]}} Oh yeah and in the final chapter, {{spoiler|Danny Dingo commits suicide and [[Tear Jerker|Shifty cries hysterically at his grave]]}} At least Nutsy is there to comfort the poor little dingo.
** Splodge also gets the [[Break the Cutie]] treatment, considering the fact he has to be babysat FOR A MONTH by his psychopath cousin who plays Russian roulette with him. Jeromy is so terrifying to poor Splodge that he manages to reduce Splodge to tears and vomiting.
** Danny Dingo easily qualifies as a [[Jerkass Woobie]] in the fic after he {{spoiler|gets infected with AIDS/HIV}} In the final chapter, his tragic past is revealed, he {{spoiler|had an abusive father who locked him in a closet and once threw him off a cliff just cause Danny was born with black fur. Furtermore, Ma dingo bartered him off in exchange for sex only to buy him back after his father was institutionalized.}} No wonder Danny because such a scheming jerk.
