Line 42:
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' has 9-year-old Maria Ushiromiya regularly killed off alongside the rest of the cast. While the first four times were relatively nice ({{spoiler|explosion, explosion}}, strangulation, poison), the fifth time was a gaping neck wound, and the sixth was brutal decapitation. She keeps coming back to life due to a [[Groundhog Day Loop]].
** Maria's mother, Rosa, also physically beats her.
* Its predecessor, ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', does this even more often. Although some instances are "simply" teen-on-teen, {{spoiler|almost every}} world ends with little [[Oracular Urchin|Rika]] being disemboweled by {{spoiler|Takano, who is an adult woman}}, and in one of the most gruesome arcs of the series, [[:Category:Yandere|Shion]] first does a full-blown crucifixion of [[Bratty Half-Pint|Satoko]], then stabs her repeatedly to death.
** Another straighter example, especially notable for featuring an adult woman, is when Rina attempts to strangle Rena after beating her up.
** Shion also brutally beats up Satoko for being too clingy to Satoshi, until Rika and Rena pull a [[Go Through Me]], and then she gets [[Punched Across the Room]] by a ''very'' pissed off Satoshi. While Satoko ''was'' extremely dependent on Satoshi, it's still no excuse for Shion almost killing a little girl in the middle of a Yandere tantrum.
Line 217:
* [[Darren Shan]] [[The Demonata|just]] ''[[City Trilogy|loves]]'' this trope.
* Many of the villains of the ''[[Redwall]]'' series are like this, the most notable being Slagar the Cruel, who kidnaps children and sells them into slavery, not hesitating to abuse and torment them along the way, often just [[For the Evulz]]. And of course there's the guy that he's selling them to, Malkariss, who keeps hundreds of children as slaves in his underground kingdom, ruthlessly abusing and overworking them for the rest of their lives. Vilaya the Sable Quean also does a similar thing when she is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to kidnap the Redwallers' children as ransom for the Abbey. She takes it a step further when she mercilessly kills one of them with her poisoned knife and threatens to do the same to the rest of them if they don't behave. Then there's Razzid Wearet, who makes it a point that he enjoys ''eating'' children. Cluny the Scourge also makes a passing thought about eating some young rabbits that he sees. And minor villain Warpclaw threatens to and almost kills a baby shrew. Mokkan also gives a viable threat about killing a baby mouse. One of Tsarmina's captains suggests torturing a pair of young hedgehogs for information. Ferahgo the Assassin sentences two infant badgers to death by freezing winter conditions. And Swartt Sixclaw- You know what, let's just say that any and every villain in this series would hurt and/or kill and/or eat a child.
* [[Stardoc]]. Well, let's see: The Hsktskt {{spoiler|(or at least, [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|many]] of them)}} are the obvious ones. {{spoiler|[[:Category:Yandere|Ktarka Zamlon Torin]]}} would have killed Fasala (who was about five at the time)—or at least left her to die—without a qualm; ''any'' {{spoiler|member of her adoptive clan}} was fair game. And then, there's what Joseph Grey Veil did to {{spoiler|the male clones}}.
