** In-universe, this is intentionally invoked (but more PlayedForLaughs) regarding the fate of Prince Merkimer, Bean's [[PrinceCharmless obnoxious]], [[TheCasanova womanizing]] fiance who [[BalefulPolymorph accidentally turns himself]] [[{{Animorphism}} into a pig]]. Several episodes later, it's shown that Merkimer has fallen into a deep depression and wallows in self-pity over his transformation, due to no longer being able to woo women as a sad, fat pig.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Xenoblade Chronicles]]'': Two more examples are Dunban and especially our hero, Shulk. Both have lost someone very dear to them, [[spoiler: Fiora]]. Dunban was nearly crippled from using the Monado, and Shulk's [[spoiler: an orphan who was taken in by TheDragon. Not to mention he constantly suffers through both his friends who have lost many comrades and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders since only he can wield the Monado after Dunban is crippled. Later on, it turns out he was a puppet for the BigBad and is shot in the back and killed by Dickson, the one man who was like a father to him. He's brought back to life, but ''damn''. The BigBad proceeds to attempt to destroy the entire world because he's [[JerkassGod god]] and he can do what he wants. Shulk finally ends up making everything right in the end by wishing for a world without gods.]]

* The Clockworker's Doll in the Franchise/EvilliousChronicles. Even though the wheelchair has no bearing in her woobie-ness, she's still a major example. [[spoiler: Although she did get out of it as of Capriccio Farce.]]

*** Beavis could be seen as a JerkassWoobie, as well. Not only is he the (slightly) nicer of the two main characters, he's also the one who puts up with the most abuse. Not to mention, the strongly-implied rape scene in the episode "Drones," and he might be a full-blown [[TheWoobie woobie]].

She stops going to school and even leaving the house as a result. [[spoiler:Episode 12 even reveals that the incident traumatized her so badly she developed amnesia from it, creating a whole slew of other problems between her present self and her history.]]

** Makoto himself, at least his VN and manga versions, though they often tend to be overshadowed by his {{Jerkass}} anime counterpart. His ''Cross Days'' manga version is perhaps the only incarnation who's too horrible to be considered either a Woobie ''or'' a JerkassWoobie.

** Kotonoha still gets extra points for being fucked around with by her fellow upperclassmen.
** Yuki too is a major woobie, because he is '''the''' NiceGuy in the entire series and how sometimes the things he do to prevent the tragedy backfire on him.
