almost all the characters have had some tragic event:

Shadow: Maria killed before his eyes, he had to sacrifice in SA2, was deceived by Black Doom and betray his friends, and worst, I think he still suffers from amnesia. Silver: lived all his life fighting in the future was as chaotic and sacrificed her friend.

Tails: he had to sacrifice Cosmo to save the universe.

Chris: a lonely childhood. Ellie: his father died and was sealed to Ibilis.

Amy: she does anything for sonic but would never go to his attention. Sonic: the tragic story resides in the real world and as SEGA to ruin his reputation Squeezing every last drop his mascot.
