* In VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony, we have Miu Iruma, who is crude, obnoxious and is TheFriendNobodyLikes. However, Kaede notes that Miu has NoSocialSkills, so she isn't actively malicious and merely blurts out whatever she's thinking without filtering herself. This personality drives people away from her, but because Miu has a FriendlessBackground, she has no idea how grating people find her. On top of that, beneath her LargeHam behaviour, she's actually a ShrinkingViolet who adopted her personality to cover up her insecurities, but it doesn't take much to make her panic and revert back to her timid ways. [[IJustWantToBeLoved She also very clearly wants people to like her]], but her inability to realise that she tends to act in terrible taste inhibits this. [[spoiler: Her death is a result of trying to kill Kokichi in the Virtual World, only for him to find out and counter it by having Gonta kill her. However, Miu's goals were actually noble as she wanted to get to the outside world to help people she believed were suffering and her paranoid tendencies had led her to become increasingly mistrustful of her fellow students. Had she more friends outside of Ki-bo, she may not have gone through with her attempt at all.]] Her Love Suite Event also shows some other sad characteristics about her, like how she is secretly very lonely and has major abandonment issues; her ideal is a childhood friend, someone who continues to care for her since they were kids and can see through her act and knows the real her. She then begs her childhood friend to make a baby with her because she does not want him to abandon her too.

** [[TroubledAbuser Rosa Ushiromiya]]. Presented from the beginning and constantly as an AbusiveMom who [[ParentalNeglect neglects her 9 year old daughter]] half the time while in the other she does not hesitate to fill her with slaps and blows when Maria disobeys her (regardless of whether she does it on purpose or less). So it didn't take long for [[HateSink many readers to hate her]] to the point of being happy when she regularly fell victim to CruelAndUnusualDeath and TheManyDeathsOfYou, seeing it as a highly deserved karmic form of KickTheSonOfABitch. However, as the story goes on, as her personality deepens, interesting backstories about her are revealed; starting first of all by saying that she is a StrugglingSingleMother who became such after Maria's father deceived her into signing a loan to finance his business trip and leave her alone while she was still pregnant without ever returning, consequently forcing her to work very hard in the over the next few years in an attempt to raise the money needed to pay off all debts. As if that weren't enough, she was born under the black star of all those children who grew up in families with numerous [[WellDoneSonGuy siblings who were extremely talented and dedicated to pleasing the exaggerated expectations of their icy parents]], [[SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome without being able to distinguish themselves from the others in any way for their qualities if these qualities did not conform to ideal canons]], resulting as a consequence [[FreudianExcuse to being abused in the same way as nowadays she abuses her daughter]] not only by her father Kinzo and [[EducationMama her mother]], but also by [[BigBrotherBully her older siblings Krauss, Eva and Rudolf to the point that even now that they are all 4 adults who they contend for the inheritance of the family, Rosa is seen and treated as the outsider and constantly belittled and derided]]. Not to mention that the reason why she is a FantasyForbiddingMother and she reacts particularly badly when Maria talks about witches and Beatrice is because Kinzo raised her by traumatizing her with the legend of this legendary witch who lived in the forest of the island that would have punished her if Rosa went and looked for her [[spoiler:and also because when she actually met and befriended Beatrice as an adolescent, she then innocently induced her to climb down a cliff during their escape from their sadly lives which ended with the tragic death of the witch girl]].

** Kevan, the [[FieryRedhead temperamental]] Earl of Io, seems to be [[HotBlooded fueled only by rage]] and turns into a LeeroyJenkins whenever his family seems to be even remotely threatened. He kills people without having proof of their guilt and honestly doesn't seem to care much about their innocence. Turns out that the reason for his behaviour is that he was [[spoiler: sexually abused by his stepfather from his early teens (possibly ''pre''teens) until the day his younger half-brother Thaddeus walked in on them, traumatising the poor kid and driving a serious wedge between the family. His mother eventually had the stepfather killed, but Kevan, suffering from StockholmSyndrome, became estranged from her and moved in with his older sister. The two then proceeded to develope a very unhealthy [[BrotherSisterIncest incestuous affair]].]] Elodie can interfere and possibly redirect his fanatical loyalties from his family to herself, but all she really succeeds in is becoming his LivingEmotionalCrutch and it is strongly suggested that [[spoiler: he would kill himself]] should anything happen to her..

* ''VisualNovel/BoyfriendToDeath'': By the second game, Ren Hana. He's really been through a ''lot'' since childhood, but that doesn't change the fact that he's ''incredibly'' mentally unstable and can kill you at the drop of the hat if you so much as provoke him the wrong way.

** Franziska von Karma. Despite her rash demeanour in court, you've got to wonder what it was like to be raised by [[AmoralAttorney Manfred von Karma]].

** [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss Beatrice]]]] has turned into this, starting out as [[spoiler:the CardCarryingVillain BigBad of the series, gloating over new ways to sadistically kill [[TheHero Battler]]’s family and screw with his head]] before gradually losing dignity and becoming one of the biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]] in the series apart from [[spoiler: Natsuhi]]. For starters, at the end of [=Ep4=], [[spoiler:she is impaled with several blue wedges but cannot die because [[ManBehindTheMan Lambdadelta]] has shackled her to the game for all eternity.]] As a result, in the beginning of [=Ep5=], [[spoiler: she becomes an EmptyShell who can't do ''anything'' by herself -- she can't eat or speak, hell, she can't even ''lift up a cup of tea'']]. And to make matters worse, [[spoiler:when Battler tries to come up with an explanation to the mysteries that denies the involvement of magic, she suffers. [[{{Sadist}} Bernkastel]], being the [[SarcasmMode charming]] person that she is, makes a point of saying so]]. [[FromBadToWorse And to top it all off]], [[spoiler:after having her former title stripped, she is sentenced to a rather [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrible death]] by [[BigBadDuumvirate Lambdadelta and Bernkastel]], and tries to go down laughing but ends up sounding like a human denying agony (which, sadly enough, she is), and even when Battler steps in to save her, he loses, and she begs him to not leave her alive]]. And who could forget [[spoiler:her touching death scene]]? And then, in [=Ep6=], after [[spoiler: being revived with no memories of her former self or her game with Battler, she gets treated like dirt by Battler all because she doesn't act like the Beatrice he knew]]. It's all you can do to not want to give the poor creature a hug. Not to mention, [[spoiler:she was actually helping Battler all along, and just wanted him to figure out the mystery and remember his promise to her]]. Episode 7 puts all of the above in the perspective and only ups the {{Woobie}}-ness aspect UpToEleven.

** While Toko is antagonistic towards people and assumes the worst out of people, she was constantly bullied back at her old school causing her to have low self-esteem. Not to mention the fact that [[spoiler: she has a SerialKiller SplitPersonality making it seem that she pushes people away from her just to keep them safe.]] With Komaru's help, She goes through Character Development.
