Anime Question
Which anime heroine do you consider to be the most tragic and why?
Kind of a strange question but I'm a little curious.
-SPOILERS AHEAD-
I find Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo to be one of the most tragic heroines of anime. When she was younger, Enma Ai was a strange little girl who had no friends besides her cousin who vowed to protect her. She was the sacrifice to her village's deity but was hidden away by her cousin because her parents didn't want to loose their child. After about six years, the village found out and had Enma Ai and her parents buried alive. Her cousin was the first one to throw dirt onto Ai, causing her once brown eyes to become red. Overtaken by revenge, she made a contract with the devil (Enma) to burn down her village but, in return, works as his helper, ferrying one's tormentors straight into the depths of hell without showing any emotion towards the victim or their target for over 400 years.
Other nominations go to-
Takano Miyo, Shion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, Rena Ryuugu, and Satoko Houjo from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.
Sayaka Miki, Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Kyouko Sakura, and Madoka Kaname from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
Shirley Fenette, C.C., and Euphemia li Britannia from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.
Kanna and Misuzu Kamio from AIR TV.
Lucy/Nyu/Kaede from Elfen Lied.
