* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Every incarnation of Spider-Man goes through some form of trauma before/as a result of becoming a superhero. Petra Parker is no exception, as she not only lost her parents as a toddler, but she watched her uncle [[DeathByAdaptation and aunt]] be gunned down by an armed robber...''when she was four''. The incident traumatized her so badly that she didn't talk about it for ten years, even after she was adopted by [[InterspeciesAdoption Splinter]].

** Unlike what happened to Peter in ''Anime/MaryAndTheWitchsFlower'', Crystal Prism reacts to being kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a monster as well as one would realistically expect -- he becomes withdrawn and melancholic, and he has nightmares about [[ForWantOfANail actually dying instead of being revived by the magic he devoured]]. He would also develop a hatred towards Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker (both [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Madam Mumblechook and Dr. Dee), to the point of having "terrifying" rages whenever he encounters similar people. Fortunately, he's getting better through divine psychiatric help and the support of his friends and family.

* ''Fanfic/Team8'' is a ForWantOfANail fic with an altered history that makes Naruto and Hinata's life struggles significantly worse. The villagers are even more antagonistic to Naruto [[spoiler:and there is even hinted to be a conspiracy against him]], and Hinata's parental abuse is far worse. Consequently, both of them start out much more cynical and insecure than in canon. [[spoiler:At separate points, they both even have ''suicidal'' thoughts.]]

* ''Fanfic/TimeToDisinfect'': While the game implies that canon Mari wasn't quite as well-adjusted as she appeared[[note]] via details such as her worsening perfectionism and possibly suffering from insomnia[[/note]], she was generally remembered as a cheerful and easygoing person. This fic meanwhile not only brings her issues to the forefront, but compounds them with an [[AbusiveParents emotionally abusive upbringing]] that leaves her with repressed neurotic tendencies and self-loathing. [[spoiler:She eventually has a full-blown mental breakdown that drives her to SelfHarm.]]

Breath Of The Wild is now a redirect link, and adding examples from Codex Equus


* ''Fanfic/BreathOfTheWild'' adapts the events of the namesake game, and gives a hell of an upgrade to the already-horrible agony that its lead duo suffers.
** Link. In canon, he has to deal with the pressures of being Hyrule's chosen hero, which he does so by being stoic. His AgeLift grants him time to learn to cope with it, but with this extra time comes greater agony. The fanfic goes into greater detail about his emotional reaction as he slowly recovers his memories. At one point, he almost breaks down [[spoiler: because he realizes he had a daughter...100 years ago, meaning she must have died in the interim. His daughter isn't dead, because her mother is Mipha of the long-lived Zora. That comes with its own pain: the pain of knowing that his daughter will spend a massive chunk of her life without him. 100 years earlier, he pained over knowing that he'd never see her grow up because of this lifespan difference.]]
** Zelda. Her emotional turmoil over her failures is expanded upon to include the pain and resentment towards her father for never really being the father that she needed. She lashes out at him viciously for this, calling him out on it. This leads into her regrets when she leaves for Mount Lanayru, where she expresses profound sorrow for her last interaction with her dad, and admitting to exaggerating the negative. [[spoiler: And because she's in a romantic relationship with Link, when he dies in her arms, after losing her father, kingdom, and friends to Calamity Ganon, Zelda doesn't just cry...[[DespairEventHorizon she gives up and waits to die.]]]]



* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'':
** In ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the Emperor of Mankind's well-meaning yet xenophobic, cruel, and ruthlessly pragmatic behavior is explained here as the result of fighting Morning Star and his forces of Fallen Alicorns for ''ten Ages'' (i.e. millions to perhaps billions of years). Fighting for that long, combined with [[GoMadFromTheIsolation prolonged isolation]] and [[ThereAreNoTherapists no proper psychological treatment]], would turn Golden Scepter into an extremely ShellShockedVeteran, resulting in a slew of mistakes that got him wounded during a coup against him and sealed away in the Imperium era. He also had to deal with the pain and guilt of his many mistakes, including his former relationship with Morning Star himself/ Fortunately, with Luminiferous' help, he would atone for his actions and walk down the path of benevolence again.
** In contrast to canon, where he acted like a {{Jerkass}} PrinceCharmless to Rarity, the Codexverse version of Prince Blueblood behaved that way because he dated mares who either [[LovingAShadow loved the romanticized version of him]] or [[GoldDigger wanted him for his money and status]], which led to messy breakups, scandals, and heartache. He was also constantly roadblocked by corrupt Canterlot nobles whenever he tried helping their Equestrian subjects, forcing him to act as bad as them in order to get around them no matter how miserable it made him feel. And unlike his canon counterpart, Prince Blueblood grew up with emotionally abusive parents who tried indoctrinating him into becoming the "ideal" Unicorn noble (i.e. canon Blueblood), which thankfully ended early when Princess Celestia discovered this and had Blueblood's parents investigated and arrested by royal decree.
** Unlike what happened to Peter in ''Anime/MaryAndTheWitchsFlower'', Crystal Prism reacts to being kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a monster as well as one would realistically expect -- he becomes withdrawn and melancholic, and he has nightmares about [[ForWantOfANail actually dying instead of being revived by the magic he devoured]]. He would also develop a hatred towards Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker (both [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Madam Mumblechook and Dr. Dee), to the point of having "terrifying" rages whenever he encounters similar people. Fortunately, he's getting better through divine psychiatric help and the support of his friends and family.
** Many things were given to make Midnight Bell fit in the Codexverse, things that her character inspiration, [[Anime/MaryAndTheWitchsFlower Mary]], did not have in the movie. She was sent to the Grittish Isles because her mother wanted to protect her from her tribalist relatives, who would disapprove of her being an Earth pony on top of being illegitimate. This is what would give her an inferiority complex on top of being bored and lonely with nothing to do. Her adventures were also more or less the same as Mary's, save for one difference -- she would come out of it extremely traumatized, and for a time would develop [[ItsAllMyFault a guilt complex]] towards ruining her young neighbor's life with her lies.
** Blacktip is portrayed in the Codexverse as an intelligent and good-hearted Dragon who hid his true self with masks in response to bigoted, anti-intellectual Dragons scorning him for wanting to become a scholar. He also suffered from self-loathing for being born a Dragon and initially believed that all Dragons are destined to be greedy, civilization-destroying savages.
** Urtica was bullied by other young Changelings for being shy, [[SpeechImpediment having a stutter]], and wanting to become a historian despite Changelingkind's reputation for [[MysteriousPast secrecy]], which led to her becoming a ShrinkingViolet by the time she meets Princess Twilight in the Convocation of Creatures. This wasn't apparent in the IDW comics.
** In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'', Knight Shade hated himself for being Arabus' minion and broke down crying over it when captured by the heroes. While that still happened here, it's noted that he spent exactly two years as Arabus' slave and was so miserable during that period that he was tempted to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] to escape. His father's abandonment of him and his mother spurred him to become a musician, but also became a sore spot for him and led to him being a 'blank flank' until his teens since his desire to perform was based entirely around supporting his mother.
** The Third Age's Rarity, now Princess Arcus Unicornia, was deeply affected by both the cataclysmic end of the Third Age (including the destruction of her home kingdom, Unicornia) and her realization that absorbing the Rainbow Nexus gave her so much power, she could potentially end the world if she didn't master it. She fell into a Heroic BSoD and remained in the ruins of Unicornia, until her friends found her and helped her grieve, allowing her to move on. This didn't happen to the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 canon version of Rarity]].
** All of the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]] have gone through their own tragedies and hardships, though unlike canon, the implications of this are treated much more seriously. Their negative experiences also affected their overall personalities, behaviors, and relationships with others compared to their canon counterparts.
*** Unlike canon, the past of Gotaro Kujo (Jotaro Kujo) is further explored here -- he UsedToBeASweetKid until years of bullying for being autistic and of mixed nationality wore him down, turning Gotaro into the bitter, angry teenager who would violently deal with bullies, abusive teachers, and other lowlifes. Neighpon's ableist attitudes at the time also left Gotaro feeling like an unwanted burden, motivating him to repress his autistic traits so he could fit in better. His journey to Neighgypt also had a more pronounced effect on his mind, as he was stressed out from trying to cure his sickly mother and defend himself from assassins at the same time. This led to a RageBreakingPoint when Gotaro learned that one of his allies, Khadim Madh, had betrayed his trust by [[FakingtheDead faking his own death]] and manipulating him from the shadows.
*** Unlike in canon, this version of Hol Horse was physically abused by his father as a colt, leading to him manifesting his Stand, Emperor, for the first time and fatally shooting his father while still young. The act itself and the fallout it caused affected him so much that he [[TraumaInducedAmnesia blocked all memories of his deed for many years]]. Hol Horse's time as one of Dio Brando/Godly Brand's assassins also added to his trauma, as Dio Brando/Godly Brand was such a BadBoss that Hol Horse was constantly raped and subjected to horrific mind games to enforce his loyalty to the former. Even after [[MistreatmentinducedBetrayal betraying Dio Brando/Godly Brand]] and helping take him down, Hol Horse developed a deep-seated fear of failure and had panic attacks when triggered by things associated with his former boss, like the word "useless". He also didn't tell his friends of his rape-related trauma until after Dio Brando/Godly Brand died because he felt ashamed of his own "weakness" as a stallion.

* ''Fanfic/{{The Moon Cries in Reverse|Naruto}}'' has this happen to Naruto, Sakura and especially Shikamaru after they're [[TeamMemberInTheAdapation assigned to Anko]] after graduating from the Academy. Their new jounin instructor swiftly decides that they're all potentially dangerous, since Shikamaru's intelligence reminds her far too much of Orochimaru. Ibiki and Hiruzen agree, so the trio is put through TrainingFromHell, effectively ''held hostage'' by T&I and [[ChildrenForcedToKill forced to learn torture and interrogation techniques]]. It takes nearly ''half a year'' before anyone else who actually gives a damn about Team Ten to learn what they've been going through.

* ''Fanfic/TheEchoRemainsButTheSongIsNotTheSame'':
** Naruto is hit much harder by Mizuki revealing his status as [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan the Nine-Tailed Fox's jinchuuriki]], as he struggles with the notion that he [[IAmAMonster is actually monstrous]]. He also leans harder into acting like a StepfordSmiler as he sees how [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Shikamaru]] is [[PunishedForSympathy punished for trying to protect him]] from the open, flagrant abuse he receives from most of Konoha's residents.
** Hinata lost her status as the Hyuuga clan's heiress shortly before graduating from the Academy, and lives in fear of her [[AbusiveParents father]] completing the process by having the Caged Bird seal tattooed onto her forehead and shunting her off into the Branch house. She [[ItsAllMyFault blames herself]] for enemies who covet her family's Byakugan targeting her teammates, and grapples with guilt over how she avoids going home as much as possible, knowing that leaves her little sister Hanabi to deal with their clan's cruelties all by herself.
** Asuma swiftly realizes that Hinata was [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation assigned to his team]] as a political power play, straining his already awkward relationship with his father -- he didn't want to become a jounin instructor, but has to stick with Team Eight in order to offer Hinata some protection from her abusive clan.
** Kiba lives in fear of his mother, who's become an {{Abusive Parent|s}} towards him. This is so severe that Kiba has been [[spoiler:secretly stockpiling supplies in his room in case he ever needs to become TheRunaway]].
** Ino's mother passed away when she was younger, and she's not especially fond of her stepmother, seeing her as an unwanted replacement.

* ''Fanfic/Ben10Unlimited'': In canon, no matter how bad things got for Ben, he had his cousin, his best friend, his girlfriend, his family, and the Plumbers to back him up. Yeah, not here. In this fic, the story starts out with ''everyone'' Ben has ever loved being murdered by [[spoiler: Vilgax]]. This is after a smear campaign led by Will Harangue made Ben one of the most hated individuals on the planet. Things got so bad that Ben was trying to commit suicide, [[InterruptedSuicide only being stopped]] by Professor Paradox catching him in a portal and sending him to the DCAU, where he met the Justice League, helped them save the Earth from the Thanagarians, and regained his will to live. Still, the trauma he's faced haunts him for years, and is only made worse when he's exposed to Black Mercy and has to watch the people he loved die in front of him...again.

Secondly, he had to rescue Toothless from a public execution, rather than being used as a tool to find the nest. After making a home in the Encanto, Hiccup is ImproperlyParanoid at the thought that one false move or bad decision will cause everyone to hate him. This even leads to him trying to keep Mirabel from confessing her feelings to him under the assumption that he would somehow hurt her beyond repair. By the time the Madrigals meet Stoick and the others, they are all immediately hostile towards him just from the number of times they had to help Hiccup move on from their abuse.

* ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'': Harry Potter in canon was treated terribly by his aunt and uncle, but the abuse is played up in this fic.

He manages to find his way (completely by accident) to Equestria, where the CMC find him and get him to the hospital, saving his life. Even though he's in an environment that's a thousand times safer than his old one, Harry is still terrified and suspicious of any/everything around him, even having a panic attack when he meets Pinkie Pie because she got in his face, shouted that she was happy to see him, and tried to shake his hoof (Pinkie apologizes immediately after, not realizing that this would scare him).

As Cheshire, Marinette is routinely hounded by all miraculous users (Master Fu's heroes because of the Black Cat's bad legacy and Hawkmoth for his own agenda). This results in a sweet and selfless girl with massive self-esteem issues.
