** Zelda in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask for various]] [[BrainwashedAndCrazy reasons]].

** Evanine and Persey of Tales of Arterra, the first a [[spoiler:princess]] whose family was killed and who was forced onto the run by a stereotypical evil uncle, the second a [[HornyDevils succubus]] sold to a mortal who used her as the star attraction in a brothel and possessed of little or no concept of self-worth.

** The [[IllGirl eponymous character]] of ''VisualNovel/KanaLittleSister''.

*** The fan manga FanFic/TouhouTonari cranks her(Yuyuko's original incarnation) woobie-ness [[UpToEleven up a lot]].

** What about Ellia, who only wanted some excitement in her life [[spoiler: and ended up killed for it, not allowed to just die but instead turned into a defenseless brand of undead by the fact that only about ten minutes ago she'd been forced to place an enchanted artifact, one of the necessary items to prevent a future apocalypse, until someone else found her a millennium later and she was finally able to pass it on?]] Or better yet Anthony, whose only goal was to serve his king and got a vital chance to do that after [[spoiler: [[YouGotMurder getting cursed by a scroll he was meant to deliver to him]] and fighting to warn him about treachery [[ImpededMessenger only to find out that he wouldn't be allowed to do so unless he took the most drawn-out, inconvenient route possible, gradually turning into a zombie as he went]], and after completing that, finding out that he was too late
and that the king was already dead? And even that wasn't the end of it.

Prince Tolten from Lost Odyssey.
Chibi-Robo: The pleasantly bubbleheaded, lives-to-dance Funky Phil averts this. His admirer Dinah and not exactly acknowledged son Freaky Phil... not so much. To say the least, something always seems to come up to disturb the former's peace of mind, usually related to Phil, and as for the latter, he's the odd one out of his siblings, seems to be a little stupid, is somewhat implied to start off as not much of a dancer, and accidentally "kills" his father, and his body language after Dinah finds him dead and asks the kids what happened suggests that he knows it was his fault. Though he's eventually revealed to be fine, in a rather hilarious fashion.

Dragon Age Origins: Zevran
Dragon Age 2:
There's the main character, Hawke, who is forced to flee his home to one of the most despicable cities in the world and loses almost his entire family over the course of the storyline; Merrill, the adorable, scatterbrained Elvish blood-mage who is demonized by her own clan for her experiments and bullied viciously by Fenris and Anders; Aveline, the hard-as-nails guardswoman who's forced to perform a mercy-kill on her own husband; Anders, the renegade mage who's driven mad by the corrupted spirit possessing him... in fact, the only people who manage to keep relatively light-hearted are Varric and Isabella, and they spend most of the game playing Team Dad and Cool Big Sis to the others.
Even Isabela's past is rather depressing and Varric ends up betrayed by his own brother and left in the Deep Roads to die, either forced to mercy-kill him later or spending years trying to nurse him back to sanity (probably in vain). There's also Sebastian... Pretty much everyone the man could call family by the end of the game has been murdered.

NieR: the Shades.
Except for Rucks, every character in Bastion has some kind of tragic backstory. The Kid served a turn on the Rippling Walls to raise money for his sick mother, only to find out when he came back that she'd already died and someone ran off with all of the money. Zulf lost his fiancee in the Calamity, and then found out that Caelondia, who he'd been working with all this time to foster peace between them and his own race, the Ura, had accidentally caused the Calamity in an attempt to wipe the Ura off the map. Zia and her father were immigrants to Caelondia and were the victims of racism against the Ura, and her father was forced to be the one who pulled the trigger on the superweapon that caused the Calamity after a failed attempt to take her and flee back to their homeland.
VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'': Everyone to some extent: Deionarra and Dak'kon deserve special mention though.

* And then... there's [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Xion.]] [[TraumaCongaLine Poor]], [[BreakTheCutie poor,]] [[CloningBlues Xion]].
** The Relyimah in ''Myst: The Book of D'ni''. Even the bitter psycho Ymur.
* The [[IllGirl eponymous character]] of ''VisualNovel/KanaLittleSister''.
* Heather from ''VideoGame/SilentHill3''
* The lack of dialogue makes this highly reliant on AlternateCharacterInterpretation, but in ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'', Madotsuki's dreams (which make the entirety of the game) are filled with [[NightmareDreams nightmares]] that may or may not be indicative of a past involving isolation, gender identity disorder, neglectful or possibly abusive parents, and possibly rape. Any of which may help explain why she [[{{Hikikomori}} refuses to leave her room when awake]].

** And she doesn't even hold a candle to some of the other decent, normal people thrust into a living nightmare by the Ancients. What about Ellia, who only wanted some excitement in her life [[spoiler: and ended up killed for it, not allowed to just die but instead turned into a defenseless brand of undead by the fact that only about ten minutes ago she'd been forced to place an enchanted artifact, one of the necessary items to prevent a future apocalypse, until someone else found her a millennium later and she was finally able to pass it on?]] Or better yet Anthony, whose only goal was to serve his king and got a vital chance to do that after [[spoiler: [[YouGotMurder getting cursed by a scroll he was meant to deliver to him]] and fighting to warn him about treachery [[ImpededMessenger only to find out that he wouldn't be allowed to do so unless he took the most drawn-out, inconvenient route possible, gradually turning into a zombie as he went]], and after completing that, finding out that he was too late

*** Alex & Ellia [[spoiler:still succeeded in their missions]], & Anthony[[spoiler:'s soul eventually found rest once Paul performed rites on him]]. In fact, with one exception, [[spoiler:all of the characters succeed, die, or both]]. That one exception is the biggest ([[StoutStrength literally]]) woobie in the game, Max Roivas, [[spoiler:who is attacked by the possessed servants of the cursed mansion he just inherited from his father who died fighting the Darkness. Max is forced to kill all of his servants after discovering the ancient city full of monsters beneath his home, not knowing how many of them were actually possessed (some weren't). After [[CassandraTruth trying to get help in attacking the monsters]] and the discovery of the murdered servants, he is thrown into an asylum for his trouble, where he spends the rest of his life having to wallow in his madness and in the sorrow of his own failure.]]
