** Maya Fey rules this trope. [[spoiler:Her mother disappeared when she was very young because the murder case she was called in for [[ISeeDeadPeople to channel the victim]] didn't go in the way of public opinion, and it disgraced their clan so badly that she left in an effort to keep the negative attention off of her daughters. As a teenager, she's framed for her sister's murder. She's kidnapped, starved, and held for ransom, her life being used as a bargaining chip so Phoenix will be compelled to get a guilty man off the hook in court. Her aunt tries to frame her for murder ''on two seperate occasions'' so she'll be executed and leave a power vacuum in the clan for her younger sister Pearl to take. Her cousin Dahlia Hawthorne both possesses her and tries to kill her in the second murder plot by her aunt, and to top it all off, her mother is killed while trying to protect her from the murder plot -- and if that's not bad enough, Maya didn't even recognize her during the few hours in which they spoke, because she both hadn't seen her so long and her mother was using a pseudonym. And yet, despite everything, she does her damnedest to keep a smile on her face and crack a joke when she can. After all's said and done in the final case of the third game, after Maya has been through absolute physical and emotional hell, Franziska just marvels at her optimism and wonders aloud how she manages to stay so strong.]]
