The Tragic Character List

So I had this in mind since I mentioned it in my last post:

"Yoite is just such a tragic character... Not most tragic, but he defiantly make the top ten list."

So I here some suggestions I got from my friends and then my Top 10 List.

FYI - This post is filled with spoilers. Read at your own risk.

• Lost his parents at age four
• Got sold to a slave trade caravan
• His life only got worse when he got older

JD: Vash "Vash the Stampede" of "Trigun"

• All he does it save lives and yet his whole world only sees him as a destruction bringer.
  

Phan-man: Kurei of "Flame of Recca"

• Considered a cursed child by his people and exiled with his mother
• Adopted and told to throw away his emotions by his new father who ends up killing own adopted daughter who Kurei falls in love with.
• His mother is a hostage who he loves and wants to save so he uses his power to kill
  

Sting: Tsukasa of ".hack//SIGN", ".hack//GIFT" and ".hack//Unison"

• He gets sucked into a virtual "world" and its really depressing, life sucks
• Wakes up in the real world and finds out he is really a 'she' whose mother is dead and is living with a sexually abusive father
  

Dot: (had two characters)
- Kyo Sohma of "Fruits Basket"

• Mother committed suicide because she gave birth to him and his father abandoned him because he blamed him for his wife's death.
• Always criticized and picked on
• Cursed: considered with hatred and disdain for his monstrous appearance, none of which was ever his fault

- Aikawa Hinako of "Bitter Virgin"
