YMMV / Sonja Blue

• Iron Woobie: Sonja herself suffered from being sexually assaulted and turned by her sire, left amnesiac on the streets of London, prostituted for decades, and only later discovering that she is a vampire. She then ends up getting knocked out by Catherine Wheele's goons and kept in a mental hospital for years on her father's orders. And just before the events of the first book.
• Jerkass Woobie: Catherine Wheele is a sleazy televangelist who does horrible things to our protagonist and her own men, manipulating them with Mind Rape and sexual fantasies while blackmailing Jacob Thorne with his vampire daughter's existence. She's also lived an absolutely shit life with being sexually abused by her father, controlled by her abusive husband, and tormented by the ghosts of her dead family.
