* Denethor of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' certainly has real sorrows to contend with -- losing his son and watching civilization apparently crumble around him. But he's definitely a fatalistic old bugger on top of it, thanks to [[spoiler:repeatedly using a palantír and getting into mental fights with Sauron, and operating under the false belief that Sauron already has the ring back (which really would make things hopeless)]]. In both the book and the film he sums up his attitude towards humanity's future in the splendidly morose line: ''"Go now and die in what way seems best to you."''

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Haruhi herself is a downplayed example, or at least was this trope before the beginning of the series. Being fed up with the boring world, just wishing for something interesting to happen when it just doesn't seem to happen, despite her efforts. In the end (or rather [[AnachronicOrder in the middle]]), she's so frustrated she subconsciously [[spoiler: begins to destroy the universe and create a new one]]. Of course, most of the time she's a genuine GenkiGirl.

* Hami acts much this way in ''Literature/DogAndScissors''. She ApologizesALot, and often talks about killing herself for being alive and being an inconvenience to others.
* Along his more violent forms of [[MoodKiller Mood Killing]], Sousuke in ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'' has a habit of regularly ruining his friends' enthusiasm for a fun trip, usually by relaying a tragic war story it reminds him of or highlighting all the (highly unlikely) ways it can go horribly wrong. Kaname usually finds these almost as infuriating as the explosions.

Then it becomes a ZigZaggedTrope when the next day she is quite happy, to Marle's surprise. The reason being that a band she absolutely loves is giving a concert that day. However, she reverts to her negative personality later on.
