Right on the button! Every fandom has one character who in fan fiction will be the one who gets abused/cancer/sent away/ect. Without fail it will be the nicest, (usually) youngest and probably already in need of a hug character. One of the more worrying thing is the syndrome is worse in fandoms with a lot of young authors like Foster's or Yu-Gi-Oh!
