* If you read the Expanded Universe, Alexstrasza the Life Binder has led a really bad life too. She lost her brother before becoming an Aspect; was betrayed and manipulated by her fellow Aspect Deathwing; kidnapped during the Second War by the orcs serving the Burning Legion to forcefully lay dragon eggs for them to conquer Azeroth and killed the drakes when no longer of use or else they would smash her unhatched eggs and smear the yolk on her face. She finally escaped by the effort of her consort Korialstrasz but later has to slay TWO of her fellow Aspeccts Deathwing and Malygos in order to protect Azeroth, not to mention one of her alternative universe counterparts briefly thought that Korialstrasz has betrayed the Red Dragonflights when he destroyed the corrupted dragon eggs. What does she get for leading Azeroth to stop Deathwing? [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Losing her powers and dragonflights became a]] DyingRace [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished in Azeroth at the end of the expansion]]. Then there's also the fact that she is the guardian of all lives in Azeroth, meaning that every death caused by her corrupted children and all of the above events hit her much harder than anyone can understand. And yet, throughout all of those tragedies, she [[IronWoobie still remains]] the BigGood of Azeroth; treasures all lives equally (she ''forgave'' the orcs for their horrible treatment of her) and helpful to the world when the need arises - an impressive feat on its own given the fact that she was one of the most powerful Dragons while each of the other Dragon Aspects suffered from FantasticRacism toward the "lesser race" and remain secluded (Nozdormu and formerly Malygos), a homicidal maniac (Deathwing and Malygos again) or favored one specific race over the others (Ysera with the Night Elves).

** Worth noting that Jaina was one of the few people in all of Azeroth who was both loved and respected by both factions and ''still'' fighting for peace between the Horde and the Alliance. Not so much now the latter, thanks to Garrosh.
** In ''Mists of Pandaria'', [[spoiler:her efforts to help the Kirin Tor remain neutral get derailed by the Sunreavers using Dalaran's portal network to escape with the stolen Divine Bell, causing her to feel betrayed.

* How often do you pity a dragon? Kalecgos loses the girl he loves, and he watches his ruler go batshit.
* Anveena. She's abducted by almost every villain with a lust for power, she finds out that her parents were never real, and she has to sacrifice herself (and give up her love for Kalecgos) to help the party defeat Kil'jaeden. The poor girl never seems to catch a break.
* Sunwalker Dezco went to Pandaria after his wife saw visions of Garrosh leading the Horde to ruins, only to lose her in childbirth, then he loses his blood brother to a mogu's spiteful last attack, [[spoiler:and even his infant children weren't safe; he's now lost both his sons, one dead, the other taken by the Golden Lotus, unable to see his family again until he's grown]]. And depending on how the fallout of Siege of Orgrimmar goes, Taran Zhu may chase him and the Horde out of the Vale, even after Dezco swore to his wife's spirit that he'd give his life to protect it.
