Jerkass Woobie/Visual Novels

And then, in Ep6, after  It's all you can do to not want to give her a hug. Not to mention, she was
 * Umineko no Naku Koro ni
 * has turned into this, starting out as before gradually losing her dignity and becoming one of the biggest Woobies in the series apart from   For starters, at the end of Ep4,   As a result, in the beginning of Ep5,   And to make matters worse,   And to top it all off,   And who could forget
 * Episode 7 puts all of the above in the perspective and only ups her Woobie-ness aspect Up to Eleven and to Beyond the Impossible levels.
 * Rosa Ushiromiya. Your Mileage May Vary, but it's pretty hard to deny just how screwed up her life is, and, at least as far as we know at this point, how relatively little of it is her fault. Of course, it doesn't change the fact that she treats her daughter, Maria, miserably.
 * Eva Ushiromiya. She treats Natsuhi, her long-suffering sister-in-law, and Shannon, the object of her son's affections, like crap...and then we get flashbacked to her youth and find out that she pretty much got the exact same treatment from Kinzo, right down to the "borrowed womb" speech she gave to Natsuhi. She's one of the few siblings who is Happily Married and adores her son, but in half of the murders, she loses one or both of them and utterly snaps. In the Bad Future of 1998, not only is she suspected of murdering her family (being the sole survivor of Rokkenjima), but  Not to mention that she has a power-hungry Literal Split Personality who loves to make her suffer. Eva's life SUCKS. Perfectly illustrated here.
 * Although it's often overlooked due to inherent awesomeness, Archer in Fate/stay night is quite woobilicious and also quite the asshole. Before, his rather brutal nature is quite apparent. Even apart from any violence, his attitude and speech are also quite a bit darker and more straightforward than any of his allies. Much of this is quite Harsher in Hindsight, considering both his backstory and just who, exactly, he is.
 * From Fate/Zero: Kiritsugu Emiya.
 * Yet another 07th Expansion example, proving that Ryukishi 07 is fond of this trope: From Ookamikakushi, we get Sakaki. While he may hold a horribly racist attitude towards the Kamibito, abandons Hiroshi  when he refuses to go along with his plans, and   in the story’s true end, he has also been put through his share of tragedy: He lost his fiancée to the old laws of the town, found her mutilated corpse, and has spent the past four years feeling as though he has no real reason to be alive other than for the sake of living. The only thing that gives his life any purpose at all, according to him, is the thought of avenging his fiancee’s murder. His arc, in particular, is a master with this trope, showing him at both his most despicable and most sympathetic.
