-
Ultear Milkovich
Taken away from her mother for no reason, experimented on and constantly tortured, finally escapes only to see that her mother took in Gray and Lyon. I thought Jellal and Erza's pasts were sad until we saw Ultear's.

Erza Scarlet
Erza Scarlet is an S-Class Mage from the infamous magic guild Fairy Tail. She starts off as a lone wolf who strictly follows the rules. As the story develops, Erza changes into a loving, strong, and independent mage.
Her terrible past haunts her, and she initially ignores her nakama's calls for... read more
Erza and Jellal's past is so depressing! I mean, her mother, Irene Belserion, was conceived 400 years before the Dragon King's Festival. Then, Erza stayed in the womb because of magical means, since Irene had the physical traits of a dragon for several hundred years. After Erza was born, Irene considered her worthless because she'd regained her human form by enchanting herself onto her unborn child. Irene discarded Erza in the back alleys of Rosemary Village, where she grew up with Kagura and Simon.
Rosemary Village was later attacked by a cult that followed Zeref. Erza saved Kagura by hiding her in a crate, but was captured and enslaved by the cult to help build the Tower of Heaven. They intended to use it to resurrect Zeref, even though he was still alive and their plan never could have worked. She met Jellal there, and they were both enslaved along with Simon, Sho, Wally, and Millianna. Jellal gave Erza the last name Scarlet because of her scarlet red hair, so he would never forget her. She became close to them and formed a strong bond with Rob, an elderly Fairy Tail mage who taught her about magic, requip, and swordsmanship.
One day, Sho came up with an escape plan, but they were caught. Sho was sent to the tower's disciplinary chamber. Erza wanted to take the blame for him, but Jellal did instead. However, the guards still believed Erza was the mastermind and tortured her in the chamber, where she lost her right eye. Jellal saved her but was captured soon after.
Erza then led a revolt to free everyone and rescue Jellal. At first, it seemed successful, but the tower's mages struck back. Simon's jaw was blasted off in front of her, and Rob sacrificed himself to protect her. In a rage, Erza awakened her magical powers and used the surrounding weapons to defeat the guards.... read more

She is the older sister of Lisanna and Elfman, and she possesses "Take Over" magic, which allows her to transform into animals, other people, or powerful demonic forms known as "Satan Soul." Mirajane holds the rank of S-Class... read more
Okay, based on my username, I'm kinda biased, but still. Mirajane's parents died when she was twelve or thirteen. A while after that, she helped defeat a demon in a nearby church. Unaware of her powers at the time, she accidentally took over a part of the demon, its arm, to be specific.
When the people in her town found out, they were mortified. They started harassing her, Elfman, and Lisanna. They looked down on them and called them monsters, mostly directing the hate toward Mirajane. After a while, they decided to flee the town.
Fast forward a few years later, during that S-Class quest, Elfman accidentally "killed" Lisanna. After the incident, both Mirajane and Elfman changed completely.
If you tell me that your parents dying when you're twelve or thirteen, being harassed because you helped in something, and your little sister (if you have one, also you Lisanna haters better not say that the dying little sister part is not sad) "died" in front of you isn't sad, then either you don't have a heart, you've gone through so much that it doesn't even phase you anymore (sorry for your loss), or I have no idea what will make people sad.
