Line 43:
* Amy herself hasn't had an easy time of it- abandoned by the Doctor as a child, growing up obsessed and thought to be mad with ''four'' psychiatrists, gets [[Mind Rape|mind raped]] by an angel, gets dragged underground thinking she's going to be buried alive, fails to save van Gogh, has {{spoiler|her boyfriend die in her arms before being erased from history}}, then she {{spoiler|finds him apparently revived, and just after she manages to remember who he is, is shot and killed by him. To top it all off, her family got eaten by a crack in time before she ever met the Doctor.}}
** No wonder Eleven/Amy/Rory has become such a popular [[One True Threesome]] in fandom. These 3 Woobies suffer so ''beautifully'' together.
*** Then there was "A Good Man Goes to War". [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Dear]] [[Tear Jerker|God]] was she put through the wringer in that one. And just watch this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2LZomoBipI&feature=BFa&list=FLLksSqKDDR33Io0fu4YI47g&index=1 prequel]{{broken link}} for {{spoiler|''Let's Kill Hitler''}}.
*** "The Girl Who Waited" and "The God Complex" make a near-perfect double whammy. After "The Girl Who Waited", {{spoiler|you want to hug Rory and the two Amys}}. Not so much the Doctor, but don't worry, he's likely added it to the near-endless list of things he hates himself for. Then comes "The God Complex": {{spoiler|The Doctor breaks Amy's faith in him, and breaks a part of himself too}}.
* A [[Lone Dalek|Dalek]] as a Woobie? Tortured into near-insanity; alone in the universe of space and time; cut off from orders and companionship; forced to pollute itself to regain power; adapts to survive, in the process becoming "no longer pure Dalek". Cannot kill its enemies; admits fear and disgust at itself. Then is finally [[Driven to Suicide]]. "This is not life. This is sickness." A different set of values, but ''definitely'' a Woobie.
