** Towards the end of Season 10, [[spoiler:BiggerBad the Director starts growing shades of this. He's always been quite the Jerkass, but then you finally see him in the present. He endlessly watches the last video of his dead girlfriend, who he has been trying since her death to rebuild. The most significant copy of which rebelled against him and destroyed everything he had built. He also learns that his daughter has been relentlessly hunting him with the intent of murdering him for his crimes. Plus the epic ShutUpHannibal by fellow JerkassWoobie / torture victim Church about everything horrible he has done. And then it's almost 100% certain he was DrivenToSuicide immediately afterwards. Yikes. Can't help but feel sorry for the guy, despite all the horrible things he's done.]]

* Max from ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' officially becomes one following "Parents Day". It was hinted before that his parents were neglectful, but this episode confirms it. He spends most of the day being a brat and acting out of jealousy upon seeing all the other kids hanging out with their parents and other loved ones. Then, not only do his parents never show up, it's revealed they didn't even sign him up for a specific activity. They just didn't want him around. The reminder of this is enough to bring Max to ''tears''.

** Weiss. A lot of her toxic and hostile personality traits early on are explained as the result of a very troubled childhood, where her dad is implied to take his frustrations out on her and she often saw friends and family go missing or worse '''be executed'''. Worse, she feels shame that her family name is being dragged through the mud but she's powerless to do anything. Volume 4 gives us a deeper insight into her home life and ''its actually even worse than she was letting on'' - her mother is a depressed alcoholic, her father actually ''hits her'', she has no positive influence in her life beyond Winter (who is rarely around) and the kindly family butler Klein, and eventually [[spoiler:she is disowned and effectively imprisoned, her bratty younger brother gloats in her face over it, and she has to flee with nothing but the clothes on her back.]]

* Qrow Branwen of {{WebAnimation/RWBY}}. He is a bitter, grumpy alcoholic who enjoys provoking other characters and is quick to provide scathing opinions about people he doesn't like, but does care very deeply for the people he does like (particularly his two nieces). His ability to literally bring bad luck and misfortune to others around him adds to his already impressive skills as a Hunstman, but because he can't turn this ability off or control who it effects, he's forced to keep his distance from his family and few friends he does have. Add in the fact that his old team (consisting of his sister, brother-in-law, and said brother-in-law's now deceased second wife) was broken apart by the aforementioned sister, and the general CrapsackWorld that he lives in, and it's no wonder he's always drunk.

** Agent Tex, to a lesser extent. She's got a frequent habit of backstabbing the Blues (though this is mostly PlayedForLaughs), and during her time at Project Freelancer she was an antisocial jerkass (albeit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a softer side]]). But after an operation to retrive [[spoiler:the armour of CT]] goes wrong, she discovers [[spoiler:the fact that she is an AI, not a real human being, then tries rescuing the Alpha but can't help him because he's too broken to come along with her]], before being chased away by [[spoiler:Sigma, who has now taken over Maine's mind]]. After this, she gets killed by Donut, loses one of her few friends left from her Freelancer days ([[spoiler:York, if you must know]]), then [[spoiler:gets wiped out by an EMP unit, brought BackFromTheDead involuntarily, fails to discover what her purpose in life is, loses a fight to the BigBadDuumvirate of Season 8 because ''she's always doomed to fail'', then gets wiped from existence]].
** Agent Maine as well. While [[AxeCrazy ber]][[BloodKnight serk]], he's loyal to his teammates. Then he [[TakingTheBullet takes a sniper shot to the throat, followed by several pistol shots]], making him TheVoiceless. After this, he gets given the AI Unit known as Sigma, who [[spoiler:completely takes over his mind and takes the AxeCrazy part of him UpToEleven.

* Flippy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''. He's an adorable bear who suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder due to his time in war. While his "good" side tends to be one of the kinder and more sociable of the Tree Friends (aside from moments of cannibalism), his "evil" side will emerge whenever he sees or hears something that reminds him of war or death. Once in his evil state, he turns into an AxCrazy killing machine, slaughtering everyone around him in sadistic glee. One episode had him getting some therapy in an effort to overcome his disorder but the doctor was the TooDumbToLive Lumpy who's stupidity prevented him from effectively helping Flippy. He's also just as much a ChewToy as the rest of the cast (meaning that he tends to get killed in horribly gruesome ways if he's not the one doing the killing) and is shown looking terrified every time he comes out of his AxCrazy states to see the violence that he's committed against his friends.

** [[spoiler: Towards the end of Season 10, the Director starts growing shades of this. He's always been quite the jerkass, but then you finally see him in the present. He endlessly watches the last video of his dead girlfriend, who he has been trying since her death to rebuild. The most significant copy of which rebelled against him and destroyed everything he had built. He also learns that his daughter has been relentlessly hunting him with the intent of murdering him for his crimes. Plus the epic ShutUp,Hannibal! by fellow JerkassWoobie / torture victim Church about everything horrible he has done. And then it's almost 100% certain he was DrivenToSuicide immediately afterwards. Yikes. Can't help but feel sorry for the guy, despite all the horrible things he's done.]]

** Agent Tex, to a lesser extent. She's got a frequent habit of backstabbing the Blues (though this is mostly PlayedForLaughs), and during her time at Project Freelancer she was an antisocial jerkass (albeit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a softer side]]). But after an operation to retrive [[spoiler:the armour of CT]] goes wrong, she discovers [[spoiler:the fact that she is an AI, not a real human being, then tries rescuing the Alpha but can't help him because he's too broken to come along with her]], before being chased away by [[spoiler:Sigma, who has now taken over Maine's mind]]. After this, she gets killed by Donut, loses one of her few friends left from her Freelancer days ([[spoiler:York, if you must know]]), then [[spoiler:gets wiped out by an EMP unit, brought BackFromTheDead involuntarily, fails to discover what her purpose in life is, loses a fight to the BigBadDuumvirate of Season 8 because ''she's always doomed to fail'', then gets wiped from existence]].
** Agent Maine as well. While [[AxeCrazy ber]][[BloodKnight serk]], he's loyal to his teammates. Then he [[TakingTheBullet takes a sniper shot to the throat, followed by several pistol shots]], making him TheVoiceless. After this, he gets given the AI Unit known as Sigma, who [[spoiler:completely takes over his mind and takes the AxeCrazy part of him UpToEleven. This ends up turning him against his friends and completely erasing the person he used to be, to the point that he forgets who he was and is left following a pointless mission.]]

* Flippy from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''. He's an adorable bear who suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder due to his time in war. While his "good" side tends to be one of the kinder and more sociable of the Tree Friends (aside from moments of cannibalism), his "evil" side will emerge whenever he sees or hears something that reminds him of war or death. Once in his evil state, he turns into an AxCrazy killing machine, slaughtering everyone around him in sadistic glee. One episode had him getting some therapy in an effort to overcome his disorder but the doctor was the TooDumbToLive Lumpy who's stupidity prevented him from effectively helping Flippy. He's also just as much a ChewToy as the rest of the cast (meaning that he tends to get killed in horribly gruesome ways if he's not the one doing the killing) and is shown looking terrified every time he comes out of his AxCrazy states to see the violence that he's committed against his friends.
