Via Registan comes this Japanese anime character:

She gets picked on? She has bad luck? If countries were anime characters, which they are in this case, then this seems to be accurate. Here, for example, we see a panel where Afuganisu-tan gets pushed on the swing by Pakisu-tan.

One more thing……Meriken!
