Scapegoat sibling

This is the sibling who has been through a lot. Maybe they were bullied? Or the family gaslights them? But at the end of the day this is the sibling who asks out. Who rebels the most. Often they are used as the family’s ‘punching bag’. Often the family will shift its focus from the real issues to this child. The family priorities pointing out this child’s mistakes to the real issue. They are the child that the family reflects their insecurities onto. They get blamed for their family’s mistakes.
Shame she’s the scapegoat of the family

That poor kid has to put up with her family’s crap! What a scapegoat sibling.

Our perpetually suffering scapegoat

Oh? There are open-air prisons all over the place but the big mean violent (and often intolerant) people are making it hard for them to not imprison them. Welp... I guess no one gets to complain about their perfectly externally (and only externally) fixable problem now... Or ever... Forever!
Hym "And as long as we have our perpetually suffering scapegoat we get to say 'Well, yeah, that's happening and, yeah, I don't want it to happen to me but... Look at Jesus over there... See? I'm that's way worse right? So, I gUeSs We CaN't Do AnYtHiNg AbOuT iT,, Right Cody Johnston? (I forgot a coma on the last one so I added 2 this time)"

Scapegoat

A scapegoat is not the same thing as a villain. A scapegoat is closer to a fall guy for the real criminals. The one that does their bidding for them and doesn't get away with it.
The scapegoat wasn't always going to be there to go to jail for the real criminals, then they would have to find another scapegoat, sucker, servant, or bitch, whichever way they phrased it in their tongue.

Scapegoat

The one that takes the fall for something negative (like a bounty scandal or worse), the face of something negative.
Though his entire band participated in it, he ended up being the scapegoat until the band got popular again, at which time they replaced his face with their own, front and center.
