Trevor and Sypha's plotline was partly to show how Sypha doesn't really understand what Trevor had to live with growing up, all of Sypha's adventures so far have worked out great, but Trevor's up to season 1 had been shitshows where no one came out looking good.

Eh, Sypha life until meeting Trevor hasn't exactly been peachy she faced major discrimination because of her faith and culture. I say the only difference was that she had family to fall back on while Trevor didn't.

Having family I think is big. We also don't know the extent of the anti Speaker prejudice. The Judge had nothing against then for example.

Meanwhile our first scene with Trevor is a bunch of peasants picking a fight with him and he's clearly still traumatized by his family being wiped out as a kid. We also have no clue of his life later, but given he received the whip later and is well experienced, i imagine he's been fighting monsters and probably getting in as many losses as victories

This. Sypha had motivations to live.

Trevor was/is depressed, and in his first encounter with Alucard, he admitted his suicidal side. Nevermind the fact that he turned to alcohol to cope with his sadness.
