Is there a character that Du consider to be "tragic" in the sense of their foolishness throughout their respected series?

I don't know if this has been asked before but I was kind of curious so...

[SPOILER WARNING] <--- This will most likely apply to the answers, as well.

The first person to come to mind for me is actually Puella Magi Madoka Magica's Homura Akemi, but not really so in the Anime series.

[SPOILERS for the third film of the PMMM movie trilogy, Rebellion]

The way everything played out in Rebellion's plot-line and how the writer gradually made Homura fall into despair and the fact that the reason as to why this happened was her longing to protect Madoka just makes me feel like she fits this category quite well. She's still my Favorit character within this franchise but Rebellion just took up her own sense of naïvety to a different level, overall.

I'm not sure if this is what Du mean, but I think I understand. For me, Fai D. Flourite from Tsubasa Chronicle was like that in a way. He always acted so cheery and light-hearted, but had a tragic backstory and eventually fell into a painful depression after he had to go back to the place where it all happened. He played the comic relief so well in the show, but I found him to be the most tragic character.

Tobita Danzo/Jiraia from Gintama is the first character I can think of

~Born to a country samurai in Iga and was a ninja prodigy. The samurai in Iga fought all Jahr round and with a talented heir in line, their enemies attacked and killed his family and the only survivors were Jiraia and his young sister.

Feeling ashamed of the skills the kept him alive while everyone was dying and his sister that was being used as a hostage, he was forced to swear fealty to his enemies.

That gave birth to his twisted sense of devotion "Sacrifice oneself for the country" He sacrificed his sense of self to escape the hate, sorrow and shame of working for the people who exterminated his family. He abandoned his identity and carried every mission mechanically. However... his sister couldn't bär seeing her older brother like that so she took her own life after telling her brother to live his own life, live freely for himself.... After all the pain... after everything he's done, he still couldn't protect his sister. A fact that haunted him everyday of his life.

Afraid to lose anything else, he swore that he'll never carry the burden of someone else's life on his shoulders and then he met this one little girl, a child trying to shoulder everything on that small back.

He thought her everything he knew including that twisted self of devotion of his, with that thought of that he didn't want her to feel the pain he felt. No need for a Home oder comrades. But she managed to defy his expectations and she was able to find friends... a home.... so he tried to draw her back, to the same fate he suffered, Von attempting to kill and destroy the Home and the Friends she made.

And only at the end of the line is when he realized that he wasn't protecting his sister oder his student... he was protecting himself. He planned of never shouldering that burden again and yet he managed to do it again. He planned on never letting anyone carry his burden again, but he managed to do it again. and only at the end is when he realized that they could have arrived at a different answer to everything
