I\\\'m not pulling this because I don\\\'t think there are any examples here, but because most of the examples seem questionable and some belong on JerkassWoobie instead (which are already there, I checked.) If someone who knows the show better than I do wants to put them back on, go ahead, but please add more or better context. Also, aversions and redundant generalized statements don\\\'t belong.
** To a lesser extent, [[OnlySaneMan Dr. Scratchensniff]].
Scratchensniff is not really a woobie from what I can recall. If he is, he needs better context anyway.
* Squidward and Plankton from \\\'\\\'SpongeBobSquarePants\\\'\\\'. The latter mainly due to recent [[CharacterizationMarchesOn characterization]]; he was always an IneffectualSympatheticVillain but he \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' enjoyed being evil. Now he just wants one customer and some success, even by honest means, and constantly winds up failing and sobbing while Mr. Krabs [[JerkAss laughs at him.]]
** Spongebob in some episodes (specially in the first season). Even SQUIDWARD feels sorry for him on certain ocassions.
Spongebob is almost always well-off and happy. He\\\'s not the woobie; he has isolated TearJerker moments. The other two are {{Jerkass Woobie}}s and already listed on that page.
* Though not usually Woobies, The Twins of \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}\\\'\\\' had a moment of this in the season finale after being kidnapped by the pornographer. \\\"We don\\\'t want to talk about it.\\\"
** A more conventional Woobie in \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}\\\'\\\' would be Jared. Poor guy.
The twins are declared non-examples. Jared has no context. I don\\\'t watch the show.
* Starfire, Raven, and Terra from the animated \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/TeenTitans\\\'\\\'.
** I think that Beast Boy can be seen as one as well, mainly in Seasons 2 and 5.
I don\\\'t watch WesternAnimation/TeenTitans enough to expand these {{Zero Context Example}}s.

Really. Honest.
** Red Alert, as well.
** Wasp(inator). Full stop. No matter what continuity he\\\'s in, he will suffer miserably - and we absolutely love him for it.
*** I think that Wasp(inator) is more of a ChewToy.
*** \\\'\\\'TransformersAnimated\\\'\\\'\\\'s Wasp might be a bit closer to the role, but [[JerkJock his]] [[BreakTheHaughty case]] is...[[FreakOut complicated]], making Wasp a whole different kind of [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds woobie.]]
I don\\\'t watch Franchise/{{Transformers}} at all but I can\\\'t overlook this pile of ZeroContextExample, {{Natter}}, and chained {{Sinkhole}}s. Someone who does can rewrite the examples that fit better.
* It\\\'s been generally agreed that most, if not all of the \\\'\\\'WinnieThePooh\\\'\\\' characters are this, though perhaps Rabbit, Owl, Beaver, Christopher Robin, Darby and certain other incidental characters less so.
** Christopher Robin becomes a bit more of one after you see the end of \\\'\\\'Pooh\\\'s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin\\\'\\\', and notice how similar it is to the end of the last \\\'\\\'Winnie The Pooh\\\'\\\' story - specifically Christopher Robin and Pooh talking about how they never will forget each other, even if they can never see each other again. The last book strongly implies that Christopher Robin is being sent to a boarding school and can never visit the Hundred Acre Woods again, and the movie very well could have been suggesting the same thing. At the very least, the implication that the kid will grow up and have to leave his childhood behind is quite sad.
** Rabbit at the very least is a tall order JerkassWoobie. [[CatchPhrase Why do these things always happen to him? Why, oh, why, oh, why?]]
This should probably be rewritten so that it explains why exactly Piglett, Eeyore, Pooh, etc. are woobies instead of just listing the exceptions. I have limited familiarity with the characters so I imagine my context would be incomplete.
* Can we get an \\\"amen\\\" for Fred Herman Jones on \\\'\\\'ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated\\\'\\\'? At the end of season 1, he finds out the Mayor of Crystal Cove wasn\\\'t his \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\' dad as claimed, so he breaks off his engagement with Daphne to find his real mom and dad. Then in the season 2 premiere, his trap to catch the episode\\\'s villain, Crybaby Clown, fails as Daphne (who had gone on to get a new boyfriend) wasn\\\'t at the spot called for so the thing could work.
This was in the wrong place on the list and it honestly sounds like a non-example (isolated TearJerker). But admittedly I don\\\'t know this version of the show, so if it is an actual example, please put it back on the page (but under tbe S section.)
Now, even if the trope is broken, we can at least say this page is less broken than it could be.
*** Averted big-time with Toph. You\\\'d think being small, blind and a runaway who felt deprived of her parents\\\' love and support is instant woobie, just add tears. But the writers instead chose to focus on her being a CuteBruiser LittleMissSnarker.

** Rabbit at the very least is a tall order JerkassWoobie. [[CatchPhrase Why do these things always happen to him? Why, oh, why, oh, why?]]
This should probably be rewritten so that it explains why exactly Piglett, Eeyore, Pooh, etc. are woobies instead of just listing the exceptions. I have limited familiarity with the characters so I imagine my context would be incomplete.
* Can we get an \\\"amen\\\" for Fred Herman Jones on \\\'\\\'ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated\\\'\\\'? At the end of season 1, he finds out the Mayor of Crystal Cove wasn\\\'t his \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\' dad as claimed, so he breaks off his engagement with Daphne to find his real mom and dad. Then in the season 2 premiere, his trap to catch the episode\\\'s villain, Crybaby Clown, fails as Daphne (who had gone on to get a new boyfriend) wasn\\\'t at the spot called for so the thing could work.
This was in the wrong place on the list and it honestly sounds like a non-example (isolated TearJerker). But admittedly I don\\\'t know this version of the show, so if it is an actual example, please put it back on the page (but under tbe S section.)
Now, even if the trope is broken, we can at least say this page is less broken than it could be.
*** Averted big-time with Toph. You\\\'d think being small, blind and a runaway who felt deprived of her parents\\\' love and support is instant woobie, just add tears. But the writers instead chose to focus on her being a CuteBruiser LittleMissSnarker.
**** It\\\'s to the point that it\\\'s [[AffectionateParody poked at]] when she tries to tell her life story melodramatically to Zuko after the others had been able to spend the time to get to know him. Doesn\\\'t really work out, so she just keeps on kicking ass immediately afterward.
** Zuko. The poor guy has been TheUnfavorite since the day his mother dissapeared \\\'\\\'protecting him\\\'\\\', subjected to mind games by his sociopath of a sister growing up, got half of his face burned off and banished by his own [[AbusiveParents father]] for \\\'\\\'speaking out of turn\\\'\\\', and then got sent to [[SnipeHunt find the Avatar, who, by the way, hadn\\\'t been seen for one hundred years.]] And then goes through hell trying to catch him when he turns up. [[http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep19/ep19-720.png I think this kid needs a hug.]]
*** That\\\'s rough, buddy
**** [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/112/632.jpg Poor]] [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/119/504.jpg guy]] [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/201/608.jpg really]] [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/207/459.jpg needs]] [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/311/578.jpg a]] [[http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/atla/319/502.jpg hug.]]
** [[spoiler: Post-VillainousBreakdown]] Azula. Seriously, the creators somehow managed to turn her from the evil, scary, indisputable [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] and MagnificentBastard to the [[TearJerker heart-wrenching]] [[TheWoobie woobie]] in the course of oh, I don\\\'t know, thirty minutes? See also JerkassWoobie.
** On a slightly more humorous note, what about the Birthday Guy from the finale? Just check out his sad face after he gets dumped out of the airship and into the water. On his \\\'\\\'birthday.\\\'\\\'
*** Oh, you know that captain guy who\\\'s probably an ass? Yeah, he\\\'s throwing you a party. Except he\\\'s not your captain. And also there\\\'s no party. Also get off the ship alright bye.
** Sokka and Katara. They lost their mom when they were small children, and for two years they had to be the sole providers for their village when their Dad and all the other men in their Tribe go off to fight in the war, Katara\\\'s not allowed to be taught by the only Waterbending master they\\\'ve found because she\\\'s a girl, Sokka\\\'s love interest dies in his arms, Katara was forced to bloodbend to save Aang and Sokka, Sokka almost loses Toph during the final battle, and almost dies himself. These two seriously need a hug.
*** So basically everyone who\\\'s ever served as a main character in Avatar is a Woobie.
** How did we forget about Cabbage Guy? [[http://funnymama.com/store/120716/91690_v0_600x.jpg Jeez...]]
I\\\'m not pulling this because I don\\\'t think there are any examples here, but because most of the examples seem questionable and some belong on JerkassWoobie instead (which are already there, I checked.) If someone who knows the show better than I do wants to put them back on, go ahead, but please add more or better context. Also, aversions and redundant generalized statements don\\\'t belong.
** To a lesser extent, [[OnlySaneMan Dr. Scratchensniff]].
Scratchensniff is not really a woobie from what I can recall. If he is, he needs better context anyway.
* Squidward and Plankton from \\\'\\\'SpongeBobSquarePants\\\'\\\'. The latter mainly due to recent [[CharacterizationMarchesOn characterization]]; he was always an IneffectualSympatheticVillain but he \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' enjoyed being evil. Now he just wants one customer and some success, even by honest means, and constantly winds up failing and sobbing while Mr. Krabs [[JerkAss laughs at him.]]
** Spongebob in some episodes (specially in the first season). Even SQUIDWARD feels sorry for him on certain ocassions.
Spongebob is almost always well-off and happy. He\\\'s not the woobie; he has isolated TearJerker moments. The other two are {{Jerkass Woobie}}s and already listed on that page.
* Though not usually Woobies, The Twins of \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}\\\'\\\' had a moment of this in the season finale after being kidnapped by the pornographer. \\\"We don\\\'t want to talk about it.\\\"
** A more conventional Woobie in \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}\\\'\\\' would be Jared. Poor guy.
The twins are declared non-examples. Jared has no context. I don\\\'t watch the show.
* Starfire, Raven, and Terra from the animated \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/TeenTitans\\\'\\\'.
** I think that Beast Boy can be seen as one as well, mainly in Seasons 2 and 5.
I don\\\'t watch WesternAnimation/TeenTitans enough to expand these {{Zero Context Example}}s.
* \\\'\\\'Everyone\\\'\\\' on \\\'\\\'WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland\\\'\\\' has at least one Woobie moment, which is quite understandable considering what they go through [[ButtMonkey on]] [[TheChewToy a]] [[LoveHurts regular]] [[AmusingInjuries basis.]]
Almost no one on this show actually qualifies as a woobie except for probably DJ and maybe Gwen (the latter of whom is a BaseBreaker). Most of what is listed is either played entirely for laughs and not misery-inducing (except perhaps for annoyance) or entirely the characters\\\' own faults.
* Perceptor from \\\'\\\'TransformersGeneration1\\\'\\\'. Anyone [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4186016/1/Outspoken who]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/978725/1/Dust_to_Rust has]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/302634/1/A_Touch_of_Human_Kindness ever]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4381542/1/Where_Has_Forever_Goner read]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4583693/1/Resonance anything about him,]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1167833/1/Sueage fanon or]] [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Perceptor_(G1)#Cartoon_continuity otherwise,]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4642685/1/Sparklings_Secrets knows]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4353689/1/The_Last_and_Alone that]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3710194/1/Naturalized everyone]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4107815/1/Revelation who]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4672944/1/Sarsrra likes]] [[http://calger459.deviantart.com/art/Woobie-96550554 him]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4043117/1/Salvation at]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1249200/1/There_Youll_Be all]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1052152/1/Silver_Thread makes]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/972331/1/Teeth_of_the_Lab_Rat him]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4311239/1/Broken_Ties suffer horribly]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4853376/1/Vista in]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4376754/1/The_Last_and_Alone_Secret every]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2581389/1/Transformers_Reloaded_The_Strength_of_a_Friend possible]] [[http://community.livejournal.com/tf_bunny_farm/tag/perceptor way.]] But we love him. Really. Honest.
** Red Alert, as well.
** Wasp(inator). Full stop. No matter what continuity he\\\'s in, he will suffer miserably - and we absolutely love him for it.
*** I think that Wasp(inator) is more of a ChewToy.
*** \\\'\\\'TransformersAnimated\\\'\\\'\\\'s Wasp might be a bit closer to the role, but [[JerkJock his]] [[BreakTheHaughty case]] is...[[FreakOut complicated]], making Wasp a whole different kind of [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds woobie.]]
I don\\\'t watch Franchise/{{Transformers}} at all but I can\\\'t overlook this pile of ZeroContextExample, {{Natter}}, and chained {{Sinkhole}}s. Someone who does can rewrite the examples that fit better.
* It\\\'s been generally agreed that most, if not all of the \\\'\\\'WinnieThePooh\\\'\\\' characters are this, though perhaps Rabbit, Owl, Beaver, Christopher Robin, Darby and certain other incidental characters less so.
** Christopher Robin becomes a bit more of one after you see the end of \\\'\\\'Pooh\\\'s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin\\\'\\\', and notice how similar it is to the end of the last \\\'\\\'Winnie The Pooh\\\'\\\' story - specifically Christopher Robin and Pooh talking about how they never will forget each other, even if they can never see each other again. The last book strongly implies that Christopher Robin is being sent to a boarding school and can never visit the Hundred Acre Woods again, and the movie very well could have been suggesting the same thing. At the very least, the implication that the kid will grow up and have to leave his childhood behind is quite sad.
** Rabbit at the very least is a tall order JerkassWoobie. [[CatchPhrase Why do these things always happen to him? Why, oh, why, oh, why?]]
