Fairy Tail Characters with the Saddest Pasts

The Top Ten
1 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.

2 Jellal Fernandes Jellal Fernandes is a childhood friend of Erza Scarlet. When he lost his own memory, he was a Dark Mage who desperately sought to revive Zeref via the R-System. Jellal served as the main antagonist of the Tower of Heaven arc and is currently a member and co-founder of Crime Sorcière.
3 Erza Scarlet Erza Scarlet is an S-Class Mage from the infamous magic guild Fairy Tail. Erza starts off as a lone wolf and stays loyal to following the rules. As the story develops Erza changes into loving mage strong and independent. As her terrible past haunts her she ignores her Nakama's calls that they want help. ...read more.

Erza and Jellal's past is so depressing! I mean, her mother, Irene Belserion, and was conceived 400 years prior to the dragon king's festival. Then, she stayed in the womb because of magical means and because of Irene's several hundred years long because she had the physical stint of a dragon, then she got born and Irene just decided she was worthless because Irene had gained her human form from Zeref again by enchanting herself onto her child who hadn't even been born yet. She discarded her in the back alleys of Rosemary Village, and she grew up there alongside Kagura and Simon. But then Rosemary Village was attacked by a cult that followed Zeref and she ended up saving Kagura by hiding her in a crate, but then she got captured and was enslaved to a cult and was forced to build the Tower of Heaven so they could resurrect the dark mage Zeref, even though he was still alive and there was no point in doing it and it would never have worked. She met Jellal there, they had both been ...more

5 Mirajane Strauss Mirajane Strauss is the elder sister of Lisanna and Elfman, who possesses “Take-Over” magic, which allows her to take shape of animals, other wizards, or her “Satan Soul” forms. Mirajane is also an S-Class wizard who was rivals with Erza Scarlet when they were both young, often challenging her to fights. While she was young (before Lisanna's pseudo death) she was rambunctious, rebellious, and wore punk-like, revealing attire. She was also quite infamous, known amongst guilds as the ‘She-Devil' due to her vulgar attitude and take-over shows. After her sister's 'death' her attitude and looks changed and she took the 'innocent' look and turned much more lady-like. However, Mira still ...read more.

Okay, based on my username, I'm kinda biased, but still. Mirajane's parents died when she was twelve-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 people of her town found out, they were mortified. They started harassing her, Elfman, and Lisanna. They looked down upon them. They called them but mostly directing to Mirajane, monsters. 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-thirteen, being harrased 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) that "died" in front of you is not sad, either you don't have a ...more
