History BreakTheCutie / WebOriginal

*** Frailine is also an example as per these statements:
** She was imprisoned for being criminally insane after the events of [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=little+girl Little Girl's Revenge when she almost killed Toki and damaged the border between this world and the next. Kind of a Disproportionate Retribution, compared to what Toki did to her (abused her and then, sometime afterward, she sent to Alaska attached to a bus by a magnet with no means of getting home)

* WebVideo/BennettTheSage tries to break WebVideo/JesuOtaku twice ForTheEvulz, first by making her review ''{{Eiken}}'', then later on with ''MasterOfMartialHearts''. In the latter case, JO admits to being broken after seeing [[TorchTheFranchiseAndRun the ending]], [[SubvertedTrope but quickly recovers]] once she realizes that it's just a bad work of fiction and that she has better things to do than let it get to her. She then skips out the door to enjoy a beautiful, productive day outside. Sage, on the other hand, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard quickly spirals into despair]] once he starts reflecting on what ''MasterOfMartialHearts''' existence says about [[HumansAreBastards the state of humanity]].

* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', Marya Aurelac is a kind character but after her husband [[AntiVillain Kagetsu I]]'s sealing she is forced to live her life as a wandering prostitute. Things get better for her for a while when she is reunited with Kagetsu but then the warlock [[CompleteMonster Arawn]] kidnaps and rapes her both for pleasure and to keep Kagetsu from rebelling against him. Marya is saved but only gets to spend a little while with Kagetsu who is later killed in battle. Marya is an immortal but her beloved Kagetsu is now dead so she realizes that she has to [[WhoWantsToLiveForever live her life without him for all eternity]]. This finally makes her snap, and she turns into a cold, ruthless individual who later kidnaps and corrupts Prince [[EvilPrince Geraden Aurelac]] of Maar Sul, her descendant, going even so far as to [[{{Ephebophile}} boink]] him in order to control him. Once she's made sure Geraden can take over Maar Sul without needing her to guide him any longer, Marya suffers from guilt of all the nasty things she's done and finds a way to properly commit suicide with poison which bypasses her curse of immortality in order to finally be reunited with Kagetsu in the afterlife.

* For a LetsPlay example: DeceasedCrab's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qcTBp8gpNM&feature=channel_page playthrough]] of ''{{Eversion}}'' slowly [[DarthWiki/{{Eversion}} but surely]] tramautizes the normally happy-go-lucky [=LPer=].
** Actually, he was already long-since broken. All the way back to the [[LaMulana second game he LP'd]]. And in particular, its BonusLevelOfHell.

* Before Season 9 of ''RedVsBlue'', few would guess that [[TheComicallySerious Agent Washington]] was anything but a stone-cold, die-hard badass. The more we see of him pre-[[spoiler: Epsilon unit]], though, the more it seems like he was a WideEyedIdealist who was even kind of {{Adorkable}} before he was broken beyond repair between seasons.
** Then one realizes the breaking kept going even after the Epsilon breakdown and he hid every bit of it. For the rest of his freelancer career he was hated by most every other agent in the project, was forced to harvest equipment from their corpses after they died, and kept working for a project he hated more than anything. Then, he had to brutally fight his former best friend on multiple occasions (eventually leading to that friend's death), found his former lover dead in the sand, and is constantly betrayed by nearly everyone he knows. If there's one thing that goes with Wash, it's tragedy.

** Still {{Badass}} though.

* WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic. Apparently he was a sweet enough kid to get into boy-scouts but his [[AbusiveParents parents were abusive enough]] to be drawn as monsters, his eighth grade classmates pitied him for being a brat and he hid in the cupboard whenever he got scared. He once broke up with someone three times and they went [[StalkerWithACrush psycho-stalker]] on him and he got date-raped (and it would have to be similar to how Spoony acted on ''Spooning With Spoony 2'' so... ouch) on his prom night. With all that, wouldn't you be cynical and not doing so well on sanity?

* WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaChick was a sweet kid too, with friends, a love for honorable men and wanted a huge wedding when she was six. But due to a lot of disappointments, she's now a lonely alcoholic who needs to abuse people to make herself feel better.

** And then there's [[LoveInterests Penny]]. She start the movie as a WideEyedIdealist who tries to makes up for her bad life by [[NeutralGood improving others' life]] . Then, in act III, she finds out that [[HeroAntagonist Captian]] [[JerkAss Hammer]] is actually a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk who carries a speech\song about how much he is [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech better than anyone else]] (especially the homeless)and telling everyone she sleeped with him, nobody in the crowd calling on his jerkish behavior (even joining the song), the place being attacked by a [[VillainProtagonist supervillain]],and THEN the villain is revealed to be her [[DoggedNiceGuy cute]], [[ShrinkingViolet shy]], [[HollywoodNerd nerdy]] [[LaundromatLiaisons laundry buddy]] Billy. Really, after all that [[FamousLastWords "Captain Hammer will save us"]] sounds more like she's trying to comfort herself

* [[http://narutofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Hibiki_Ōtori Hibiki Outori]] from a Naruto RP. Similarly to Sasuke Uchiha from the canon, Hibiki was a sweet, naive child, loved by his parents and just wanted to do his best. After witnessing his parents murder, he not only killed the murderers, but now flashes back to it from time to time, and, aside from his teammates and his adoptive mother, he can be quite cold and heartless, which he certainly was not as a child.

* The CerebusSyndrome laden fourth step of ThereSheIs just devotes itself to breaking poor Doki. As if getting harassed for dating Nabi wasn't bad enough, [[spoiler: she gets beaten to a pulp by an angry mob, who (whether it was an accident or not is never made clear) kill her pet hedgehog, and just to top it off, Nabi dumps her for her own safety.]]

* ViridianDreamsQuests - Vampire Quest is basically one long string of heartbreak with the player character we, in our foolishness, made a lovely, normal girl trying to bring a little happiness to the CrapsackWorld setting. Surrounded by pre-broken cuties and heading that way herself very quickly.

* Poor Maion from TheSalvationWar series gets hit with this trope bad, she's a young angel who when we first see her, has been addicted to heroin and forced to beg for more, then she gets forced into exotic dancing and later prostitution, then [[spoiler: she ends up in a concentration camp where she gets tortured to the brink of death and she and her mate have to flee to Earth to seek medical treatment from humans, oh and then it turns out her shattered wings are never going to heal properly and they have to be cut off, fortunately for her, angels have a HealingFactor in this 'verse and they grow back]]
