Including events such as Scorponok being essentially frames for attempted rape by Blackarachnia and manipulated into doing nothing by Tarantulas in the hope of regaining his standing at some vague future date, it culminates in Megatron dismissing the memory of Scorponok after the quantum surge, focusing on the latest battle to the point of threatening to test his new weapons on Waspinator even when Waspinator tried to speak up in Scorponok's defence.

Things seemed about to improve when Emily became pregnant in the second year of their marriage, but after she suffered a miscarriage one night while Ross was out with some colleagues from work, she and the rest of her family and friends spent most of the next year blaming Ross, until he returned to New York for Monica and Chandler's wedding and was given sufficient encouragement to end his relationship with Emily for good and start to rebuild his life in America. When Rachel learns about the miscarriage, she makes it clear to Ross that even if she regrets what Emily went through, neither she or her family had any right to act as though Ross was the only one at fault when he was genuinely trying to make the marriage work.

* Creator/CoeurAlAran:
** ''Fanfic/ArcRoyale'': The [[Fanfic/NotThisTimeFate "Fate"]] iteration of Jaune in the multiversal conflict is bitter, cynical, snarky and abrasive to everyone around him, and he's outright abusive to the "main/default" Jaune; but it's because like in his home story, he's carrying a truly ''inhuman'' level of mental and emotional trauma from his GroundhogDayLoop, having tried and failed to save his teammates and Team RWBY from dying horribly in every loop over and over again for thousands of years, and he carries a ton of self-loathing which he projects onto his gathered alternate universe counterparts (with the main Jaune standing out because he's literally the same as Fate was before he started looping). [[spoiler:Fate is ultimately revealed to be a TragicVillain in the conflict: seeing the reality-changing wish that the Brother Gods have promised the last surviving Jaune as his only real chance to end his loop and finally save all his friends in his own universe, he's been sabotaging his allies orchestrating the deaths of other iterations in the game, and he's willing to (with great pain and hesitance on his end) cross the ''one'' line that he'd never cross in his own universe to ensure his victory: trying to kill his friends]].
** ''Fanfic/CaptainDragon'': Yang, recovering from the Fall of Beacon and the loss of her arm, spends the fic fighting a ''steep'' uphill battle to overcome her handicap and realize her dream. Much of her previous emotional support is gone as her original teammates go behind her back and hide things from her "for her own good"... but ''she'' isn't making things any easier for herself on that front as she constantly lashes out in fury.
** ''Fanfic/KnightOfSalem'': Leonardo Lionheart may be a coward and a mole for Salem's faction as per canon, but the fic makes it clear (in the most hilarious way possible) that because of his mole status, ''every'' waking hour of his existence is a living hell for him, as he's under constant stress and terror that his cover will be blown and the most powerful man on Remnant will come for him, or that the equally most powerful woman on Remnant will dispose of him without a second thought.
** ''Fanfic/{{Null}}'': Blake. She's a huge moral {{hypocrite}} throughout the fic, and she's committed a cowardly, cruel and completely vile betrayal [[spoiler:of [[TheWoobie Jaune]]'s trust when she abandons him in Vale to be arrested, killed or recaptured by Chivalric Arms]], making Jaune's subsequent fury and grudge against her completely justified. That being said, she's not portrayed as unsympathetic when karma does catch up to her [[spoiler:-- she's distraught when her past actions have gotten her Beacon teammates horribly maimed and almost gotten Ruby killed by a vengeful Jaune (which in turn leaves both Weiss and Yang justifiably angry at her), and she's quite upset and regretful to see that the hurting boy she remembers and who she betrayed has since turned into a ruthless killer partly because of her cowardice]].
** ''Fanfic/ProfessorArc'': Jaune may be an elaborate liar and self-serving conman who's exploited a national tragedy to get his job, but his fear of his cover being blown, and his growing guilt for his deceit as he comes to consider the people around him friends, make him sympathetic.
* ''WebVideo/IRewroteRWBYVolume8'': Hazel Rainart. As per canon up to the end of Volume 7, he's one of Salem's top enforcers who's been assisting her faction's campaign of terrorism against the kingdoms, just so he could avenge Ozpin's role in his sister's death by Salem's Grimm, [[spoiler:but also because Salem promised him that she would resurrect his sister as reward for his services (unaware that Salem can't do that)]]. However, once the Grimm siege of Atlas and Salem's full-scale assault on Mantle are truly underway, Hazel spends much of the rewrite in a state of perpetual horror at the genocide as he fully realizes just ''what'' it is that he's truly signed up for. [[spoiler:Worse yet, the heroes reveal to Hazel that his sister Gretchen didn't really die on the training mission she disappeared on at all -- instead, Salem captured her and forcibly turned her into [[AndIMustScream the Hound]] without Hazel's knowledge]].

Asuka had been forced to be a child soldier after losing her mother and being ditched by her surviving father. Agreed, she was rude and obnoxious, but who could blame her?

Finally she manages to snap out of that vicious cycle, but for then everyone but Shinji hate her. On top of that, her father declares that she is not his "trouble" anymore -for reasons completely unrelated to her personality, behaviour and actions-, and she and Shinji are being targeted by hired assassins.

* In the ''{{Literature/Twilight}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheNotSoShortSecondLifeOfBreeTanner'' and its companion piece ''Ashes through an Hourglass'', the offered back story of the Volturi's evil twin enforcers, Alec and Jane, helps rationalize their monstrous personalities in ways that elicit understanding and pity from the readers without undermining their sinister deeds. This more applies to Alec, though, since he has been featured far more than Jane and has demonstrated occasionally redeeming qualities through an amoral lens.
