* TheWoobie: Aida, natch. First, she is torn between her Egyptian lover and her Ethiopian father and realizes that she cannot pray for the one while cursing the other. All she can do is pray for the gods to have pity on her. Then, Amneris figures out that Aida is in love with Radames and goes ClingyJealousGirl on her, again reducing Aida to praying for pity. After that, when the Pharaoh announces that Radames may marry Amneris, his daughter, Aida despairs of ever seeing her fatherland again. Not even Aida's own father, [[ScaryBlackMan Amonasro]], will give her a break; instead of respecting her refusal to extract the Egyptian strategic maneuvers from Radames like a [[GoodParents good father]] would, he forces her to believe that doing so is a matter of life and death for her nation by [[AbusiveParents intimidating her to the point of tears]]. When she does seduce the vital information from her lover, Radames is promptly accused of treason and sentenced to be BuriedAlive, whereupon Aida, whose father has already been killed, [[TogetherInDeath decides to die with her lover]].

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Amneris tends to be this in a lot of productions, and many critics have even said that the title of the opera could easily be called ''Amneris'', instead of ''Aida''.
