* ''Fanfic/TalesOfKarmicLiesAftermath'': As Adrien points out in [[CallingTheOldManOut an argument with his father]], Gabriel subjected him to FinancialAbuse by blocking him from having any access to the money he earned modeling for his company. In fact, he didn't teach his son ''anything'' about money management or any other useful skills, resulting in Adrien being RichInDollarsPoorInSense.






* In ''Fanfic/ReBoundRWBY'', Neo's parents were killed by Raven's people. Raven took her in and raised Neo as an assassin.

* "''Meanwhile, in Sarasaland''" sees Daisy decide to rely on one as a precaution in case she gets caught trying to sneak into the Mushroom Palace. She'd tried to blend in with the crowd once when she was younger, which didn't work. The Mushroom Palace has the Launch Star she needs to reach Rosalina's location. If she did get caught in anything else she'd [[NeverLiveItDown never hear the end of it]]. Through never hearing the end of it if she were caught wearing anything else and her previous failed attempt at blending in with a crowd, she decides her best chance would be to make her footsteps slower and louder by wearing her royal garb (which consists of a floor-length yellow-and-orange gown and orange stiletto pumps), as it gives her the excuse of being there on royal business.

* Discussed with Handsome Jack in ''Fanfic/BoopTheSnootForCriticalDamage''. After learning about Handsome Jack's former occupation (debugging [=CL4-TP=] robots), Blake comments that it's no surprise he became a megalomaniac when one learns that he had to spend all his days programming those annoying robots. Angel immediately states under her breath that he was always "an evil piece of scum long before that."

Much like in [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy the original reality]], Miss Bustier sees Chloe as a deeply troubled girl who keeps lashing out and bullying others in response to her personal problems. But the root of her issues is nothing like what Bustier assumes.

** Marinette's mother is ThePerfectionist due to her own mother constantly hammering into her head the importance of always being the best. This has damaged her relationship with her daughter, leaving Marinette with incredibly low self-esteem and struggling to recognize her own successes since her mother refuses to acknowledge them as such, always insisting that they're either just what's expected of her or not quite good enough.

While Marinette recognizes ''why'' Sabine treats her this way, seeing her as somebody who's [[ParentsAsPeople doing her best]] despite her own issues, her friends aren't nearly as forgiving.



* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'': Many of Chloé's issues stem from her desperately trying to prove that she's just as "exceptional" as her mother Audrey, who [[ParentalNeglect couldn't seem to care less]] about ''either'' of her daughters. Chloé mimics her mother's mannerisms and casual, callous cruelty towards others; since her father [[PushoverParents caters to her whims]] while her teacher outright ''refuses'' to punish her for any of her bullying, instead [[BlamingTheVictim pressuring her victims]] to 'take the high road', she's become an entitled SpoiledBrat who keeps getting worse and worse. And when her actions start having consequences, she has absolutely no clue how to deal with them, thanks to how she was coddled by her father and Mme. Bustier, doubling down on her rotten behavior.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded''
** Star Strong parents are divorced and her mother lives in France with another man, while her father is a high-paying lawyer who, because of his career, does not spend a lot of time with her. It's mildly implied that Star's original bitterness was partially due to her familial situation.
** It is hinted that Stella Bevier's stuck-up attitude is due to her own upbringing which caused her to place top importance on her privilege. "Visited" definitively proves this to be the case, but it's revealed to be even worse than previously implied--Stella's mother Beatrice was [[AbusiveParents very controlling and emotionally abusive]], forcing her to be a ProperLady from an early age. It's to the point that Stella still struggles to meet her mother's expectations as an adult.
** It's implied that Colette Bevier nasty attitude stems from her mother leaving them, her father spoiling her, and his constant remarriages.
*** This was confirmed in Blackmailed, where it's revealed that she keeps in contact with her biological mother and stepmothers to manipulate them. It is revealed that she both resents her mother for spending so much time on her charity projects and misses her because she prioritizes those projects over spending time with her. Despite refusing to admit it, it is clear that she was affected by her departure.
*** It is also later revealed that she kept in contact with each of her former stepmothers to use them for her plans, and she plays the part of the loving daughter to them while rejecting their attempts to make her into a better person.
*** It's implied that she has no real attachment to any of her stepmothers because she knows that their marriage to her father will never last.
** It's also implied that her father negatively influenced her growing up, teaching her that her wealth and status made her "better" than others.
*** It heavily implied that she is the way she is because of a mix of her father's negative influence, her mother's departure and neglect, and her father's remarriages and implied infidelity, which warped her greatly and left her with a twisted view of the world and relationships.

* ''Fanfic/{{Stray}}'' discusses this - it's set in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' universe, land of villains with unhappy childhoods, and at least two characters (including one of the protagonists) are former {{Tykebomb}}s. However, Adamska (one of the tykebombs in question) eventually rejects the idea that a person's essential nature can be changed by the actions of other people.

Billions of years ago on an alien world, [[spoiler:Ghidorah was caught in a trap and taken out of its environment by alien AbusivePrecursors, who viciously experimented on and changed it; [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil torturing Ghidorah's heads into feeling virtually-perpetual anger and hate]], and hardwiring TerribleTicking into the three heads with an underlying "standing order" demanding that Ghidorah constantly "'''Kill Them All'''". Upon being let out of its cage, Ghidorah [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turned against and exterminated its tormentors in revenge]], but the Terrible Ticking and the trauma they'd done to Ghidorah stuck. Over a long time, Ghidorah [[PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery committed mass destruction after mass destruction to try and make the Terrible Ticking stop torturing it]], until it grew completely desensitized to what it was doing, then it started to find ''joy'' in what it was doing, and finally it became the sadism-fueled OmnicidalManiac with a lust for domination and destruction that Ghidorah is today]].

However, they were raised from birth in captivity in an underground laboratory, being groomed by a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] {{narcissist}} on one side to aid his evil plan, [[spoiler:and being psychically groomed by Ghidorah on the other side to aid ''Ghidorah's'' evil plan]], so it's no wonder they've turned out the way that they have.
