What is the difference between The Woobie and Moe? Is it the cause of audience sympathy, the treatment of the character within the story, or are they the same?

Moe is just cute. Woobies are sympathy magnets. However, a lot of examples for the latter are cute.

I think Squidward was only The Woobie in 2 episodes: "Band Geeks" and "Can You Spare A Dime?". However, in the latter, he became a Jerkass Woobie by making Sponge Bob his slave.

I would say Squidward is a Jerkass Woobie due to his role as the Only Sane Man.

Poor Woobie page, being made into a YMMV. I feel so sorry for it. =(

What's the trope namer for this, or is there one?

Perhaps Judy Prava from Phoenix Wright Devil's Attorney counts as a woobie, given her revealed backstory. Not sure where she would fit in though.
