Do you think all tragic back stories are bad? My character, Ichiro has a tragic back story b/c he was raised by a abusive devil master. But the reason for this is supposed to be a main part of the story: Why Diehauser Belial allowed her to take him, the church after Ichiro for things he done in the past, his parents, Ichiro learning to trust Rias/Sona, etc.

The only type of tragic backstory characters I hate are the ones who give the characters a tragic backstory but never touches upon their past again. For example: I once read a fanfic similar to Ichiro's backstory, stray devil who ran away because his master was abusive then he got reincarnated as the pawn of Rias Gremory and they never talked about this tragic past again. No development. He just openly trusted Rias Gremory despite the fact that she was the same as his master (they both came from the Gremory family). That story was the reason I was inspired to write my story, who is a stray devil.
