Wybra — one whose hardship, borne without complaint, makes others fond of them.

Notes

Not pity, which looks down, and not admiration, which looks up. A Wybra is someone a person wants to stand near and do something for, and the wanting is often more about the person feeling it than the one felt about.

Said warmly and heard uneasily. A person who knows they are being treated as a Wybra generally does not enjoy it, and saying so tends to make it worse.
