History TheScrappy / Literature

*** By contrast, Egwene has begun to fall into this role as she does everything from single-handedly re-uniting the Aes Sedai to rediscovering how to manufacture cuendillar. She also manages to drive away, isolate, abuse, disrespect, insult, and otherwise screw over all of her friends.

*** Very debatable, actually. While Nynaeve filled this role at the beginning of the series due to her constant nagging, as the series has gone on she's evolved into a competent and powerful Aes Sedai who (unlike nearly every other female character) actually respects men and trusts Rand implicitly.

* The FiveManBand in BlackDogs liberate a girl from the service of an evil magician, and as she tags along with them, she quickly becomes TheScrappy to both the characters in the book and the reader. The nicest character treats her with a polite indifference, and most of the other characters dislike her to some extent because of her [[TheLoad uselessness]], [[CultureClash ignorance of their customs]] and tendency to fawn sickeningly over the only humanoid male in the party. When she is finally killed she is not mourned by anyone.

* Pick a character from ''{{Twilight}}''. Any character. For every person who loves them...there are at least 7 people who [[FanHaters hate their guts and hate you for liking them]].
** Let's face it, ''{{Twilight}}'' is a [[PeripheryHatedom Scrappy]] ''[[PeripheryHatedom SERIES]]''.

** It might be easier to list the characters who are ''not'' really hated by anyone or at least are only hated by a nonvocal minority. Out of the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters in the series, this pretty much comes down to book!Hermione (movie!Hermione, however, is a highly divisive character), Hagrid, Neville, Cedric (making it extra annoying that [[RobertPattinson his actor]] went on to become [[{{Twilight}} Edward Cullen]]), Luna, and the Weasley twins.

* In ''HarryPotter'', Dobby gets tagged with this, especially the film version.
** ''Every'' character in the series is considered TheScrappy in at least fandom circle. [[FanDumb It's]] [[BrokenBase that]] [[UnpleasableFanbase kind]] [[RonTheDeathEater of]] [[DieForOurShip place]].

** Ron gets a bit of this as well, since many wanted to see Harry end up with Hermione, and many also felt that Ron and Hermione's relationship sort of came out of nowhere.
*** Ron has received plenty hatedom from others than Harry-Hermione shippers. Not entirely without reason, as his inferiority complex is overplayed throughout every single novel. An inferiority complex he doesn't keep inside of him, making him generally whiny.
**** Alright, maybe Ron has his detractors, but there's no way he's commonly regarded as "The Scrappy" by fans of the series. And few thought his relationship with Hermione "came out of nowhere" since their crush on each other has been canon since basically Book 4. If we say that roughly half of fans wanted Hermione with Harry and half wanted her with Ron (which... frankly, is probably not the case, Harmonians have always been the minority, but whatever, we'll go with it) that still doesn't even come close to making Ron, the secondary protagonist from the get-go, "the Scrappy."
***** It gets worse. This troper and his friends figured, since two well-beloved characters had just kicked the bucket, that it wasn't unlikely that one of the Trio would die. We didn't think it'd be Harry. It's a teen's/young-adult series built on Love. Why would the Hero die? Nor Hermione. As we saw in COS, Ron and Harry would be lost without her brains. Besides, J.K. had already told us that Hermione was a lot like Dumbledore, since, "Dumbledore know's everything and Hermione's read it somewhere." That left Ron. He isn't even a good fighter. Neville and Luna (hell, even his SISTER) were more adept. He was really just comic-relief. And, sure, I did wanna see him and Hermione get together, but that doesn't save him. Then when DH came out, it turns out that Ron, is in fact, necessary. Why? Because apparently Harry and Hermione can't get by without him... suffice to say, that's a bit of a wallbanger.
**** While Ron is not a Scrappy ''per se'', he does have the largest {{Hatedom}} among human characters considered good. If you don't believe it, just google "Why do people hate Ron Weasley" and behold the flood of answers. There ''is'' a reason why the [[RonTheDeathEater Ron the Death Eater]] trope exists (and why his name is in the title), ya know. As for the person who said he's whiny and his inferiority complex is "overplayed".... well, speak for yourself when you actually ''HAVE'' (or had) that severe of an inferiority complex. It ain't pretty, and something tells me Jo has had first hand experience with it, since her portrayal is near spot-on.

*** Not really. Alice has even hase a likeable fanbase from the Twilight haters. Charlie, movie version mostly, has been getting some sympathy from him since some of them considered him too good a father for Bella who comes off as a ungrateful brat towards him. Basically one comment from a Twihater comments that "Charlie is one of the few Twilight characters I didn't want to strangle"

* Pick a character from ''{{Twilight}}'' too. Except Jacob, though now that Jacob's a pedophile, yeah.

** Firestar and Squirrelflight are the least popular, according to [[http://www.myadopts.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1272&page=5 this forum game.]] Then again, the list contains almost exclusively characers that appear in The New Prophecy, and Daisy isn't on the list. And Purdy had a negative score at one point, so he was removed from the list.

** Let's face it, ''{{Twilight}}'' is a [[TheBarney Scrappy]] ''[[TheBarney SERIES]]''.

* In ''HarryPotter'', [[TheUmbridge Dolores Umbridge]] is a rare example of an ''intentional'' scrappy
** Also, ask just about any Harry/Hermione shipper [[DieForOurShip what they think of Ron and Ginny]]-and by extension, all the Weasleys.
** Or for some, any character that isn't Luna Lovegood.
** Percy was also an example of an intentional Scrappy, although he later admitted he was wrong, it didn't change some people's opinions that he was still a douche.
** Fudge is also sort of an intentional Scrappy, since throughout the whole series, all he does is hinder Dumbledore and Harry, act like a total asshole, and authorize Umbridge to set up an authoritarian dictatorship in Hogwarts.

** Face it, ''{{Twilight}}'' is a Scrappy ''SERIES''
** [[TheBarney There is a trope for that.]]
