| Bonding over Missing Parents | comment |
Alice has just met Bob, and although the two of them come from very different backgrounds, they have one very important character trait in common: both of them have missing parents. It doesn't matter what the circumstances (although the circumstances might be very similar if only for plot convenience); one might have a Missing Mom and the other a Disappeared Dad, or maybe both of them have parents who were killed due to war violence, or maybe one or both of them never even knew their parents. Whatever the circumstances, this link between them is key to their relationship together. Often, the "bonding" part of this trope is done in a scene designed to stir up some emotion, with the two characters alone together, maybe sitting on a hillside or something, and something in the conversation leads them to talk about their parents. Variations of this can cover any missing relative or anyone who is sufficiently close enough to a character that they consider each other family. A relatively common twist on this trope is a revelation that the two characters are missing the same exact person. (e.g., Luke and Leia learning that they are brother and sister.) A Sub-Trope of Commonality Connection. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

In the Aftermath of the Games universe, this was how Sci-Twi and Dog Spike bonded during their backstories; Spike was the Sole Survivor of a horrible case of rabies that wiped out his family. He went into such a deep depression that none of the humans would consider him as a pet because he wasn't as energetic as the other dogs. Around the same time, the 13-year-old Sci-Twi's parents were killed by a Drunk Driver, so Shining Armor and Cadance decided to get her a pet in order to help ease her grief. When Sci-Twi heard what happened to Spike's family, she chose to adopt him, and in the present day they are completely inseparable. | |

In Bones, one of the first times Brennan is shown sympathizing with another human being is when she reveals to a foster kid (whose foster brother had been killed) that she had been in the foster system too. Eventually subverted as he presumes to make a romantic move on her based on this connection and she immediately shuts him down hard. | |

An odd example from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Karai is giving April a Curb-Stomp Battle as April, near the breaking point, begins recounting all the weirdness and trouble she's had, ending with her (previously unmentioned) Missing Mom. Something about this causes Karai (who also has no visible mother in her life) to hesitate for just a second, allowing April to knock her down a staircase and escape. But in a later episode, she still tries to kill her. | |

Community: In "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas", Abed makes some emotional headway on the train with Annie and Troy. Abed tells them that while his Palestinian dad is a staunch Muslim, his Polish mother loved Christmas and would always come to visit him on the 9th to celebrate it even after the divorce. Annie (who is Jewish) then relates that she's also a child of interfaith divorce, and that she celebrated Christmases with her Episcopalian father before he left. | |

In chapter 4 of Evangelion 303, Shinji talks to Asuka about his parent issues: he tells her how his mother died when he was a little child, his father foisted him on a caretaker alleging that he was protecting him, and he doesn't get along well with his father's girlfriend. After hearing his history, Asuka reflects that they're not that different after all. | |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: In chapter 8, Shinji and Asuka talk about their respective mothers' demises and how they feel about their loss, and as a result of it, their relationship improves. Asuka didn't like Keiko and she thought that that girl shouldn't be a pilot. In chapter 9, Keiko reveals that she lost her mother and explains how she was affected by it, leading Asuka to, in spite of herself, feel pity for her. |

If a Neon Genesis Evangelion fic features (or is focused on) the Shinji/Asuka pairing, this is inevitable: Shinji and Asuka in Advice and Trust, which helps solidify their Relationship Upgrade. They started bonding when Shinji mentioned that his father abandoned him right after his mother's death... and Asuka muttered that the same thing happened to her. In Ghosts of Evangelion, Shinji and Asuka often talk about their mothers and their motivations. Their talks help them to get closer. In Thousand Shinji, after challenging Asuka to a duel and winning, Shinji demanded that she told him why she was always so hurt and angry. Asuka told him about her mother's death -which reminded Shinji of his own mother's death-, and he told her that he was an orphan, too. Their relationship got better since that point on, and they eventually got together. In the seventh chapter of Children of an Elder God, Shinji and Asuka do this. Shinji told her that his father abandoned him after his mother’s death and then he asked her what her parents were like. She replied that they were dead, and they talked about how they lost their respective parents. During the After the End episodes of The Second Try, Shinji and Asuka's relationship strengthened -among other things- because they opened up to each other and talked about their respective mothers' loss. In chapter 4 of Evangelion 303, Shinji talks to Asuka about his parent issues: he tells her how his mother died when he was a little child, his father foisted him on a caretaker alleging that he was protecting him, and he doesn't get along well with his father's girlfriend. After hearing his history, Asuka reflects that they're not that different after all. In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: In chapter 8, Shinji and Asuka talk about their respective mothers' demises and how they feel about their loss, and as a result of it, their relationship improves. Asuka didn't like Keiko and she thought that that girl shouldn't be a pilot. In chapter 9, Keiko reveals that she lost her mother and explains how she was affected by it, leading Asuka to, in spite of herself, feel pity for her. Last Child of Krypton: Asuka and Shinji do this when they start living together, and they talk each other about their missing mothers. Once More with Feeling: After defeating Gaghiel, Asuka asks Shinji about his mother. He answers that she’s dead, and Asuka feels guilty and asks how she died. When Shinji tells her the story, she realizes that she empathizes with him. The Child of Love: When Misato told Shinji how Asuka’s mother died, he felt he could understand Asuka better now because he was also an orphan. Later on, Shinji opens up to her and talks about his mother’s death, and Asuka says he’s the only one she can trust because he’s the only one can understand her. In Read the Fine Print (Evangelion), Shinji and Asuka become pen-pals when they are kids. In his first letter, Shinji mentions he is living with a teacher, causing Asuka to ask what happened to his parents. Their relationship only grows thicker from that point on. |

Cinderella (2015) enhances Cinderella and Prince Kit's relationship with some of this. The King is mortally ill in this version, and at the ball, the long-orphaned Ella shares a moment of sympathy with the prince over this fact. In a deleted scene, they also talk about their deceased mothers together, and the film's final scene shows the royal newlyweds gazing together at portraits of their parents, now all four dead, and Ella remarking that they would have loved each other before they emerge onto the palace balcony to greet their people. | |

In Thousand Shinji, after challenging Asuka to a duel and winning, Shinji demanded that she told him why she was always so hurt and angry. Asuka told him about her mother's death -which reminded Shinji of his own mother's death-, and he told her that he was an orphan, too. Their relationship got better since that point on, and they eventually got together. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender loves this trope, usually with regard to Katara and Sokka's mother (who was killed in a Fire Nation raid of their colony): Katara and Haru, as Haru's father was taken away from his family by the Fire Nation due to laws against earthbending in his town. This leads Katara to help him and his dad, who is on the same prison rig as Haru is taken to, when he gets arrested for the same reason. Jet attempts to use this to manipulate Katara and Sokka into destroying a town occupied by the Fire Nation. Katara and Zuko, during their Locked in a Room scene in the season 2 finale; when Katara mentions that the Fire Nation took her mother away, Zuko says, "That's something we have in common," and tensions cool for a while, until Zuko's Friend-or-Idol Decision between siding with Azula or making a Heel–Face Turn leads him to completely ignore all that bonding and side with Azula. As a result, when Zuko sides with the Gaang for good, Katara's the last person to trust him until he helps her find her mother's killer. Mako and Asami continue the tradition in the Sequel Series The Legend of Korra. |

Blue Diamond's proper introduction in Steven Universe has her crying over the loss of Pink Diamond. Greg (who's helping Steven investigate) introduces himself and tells her he knows how she feels, as he's also lost someone. Blue Diamond is so touched by his empathy, she decides to save him from the Cluster by bringing him to the Human Zoo. Of course, if Greg had mentioned that he was mourning Rose Quartz, who happened to be the person who shattered Pink Diamond, the scene would have gone differently. And then it turns out that they actually were mourning the same person. | |

Batman: Batman and the first two Robins bonded over their parents being violently killed in front of them. He also bonded with Green Lantern Hal Jordan the same way; for all the different ways they're at odds with each other, they're still boys who lost their fathers early on. There's even some symmetry in how their fathers died and what they did about it: Bruce's father was killed by a criminal, so Bruce fights crime. Hal's father died in a plane crash, so Hal became a test pilot (who also fights crime, but the test pilot thing is more integral to his personality). |

However, the two do end up slowly becoming acquainted after discussing their lost family: Michael having lost his wife and daughter, Alanna also having lost her and Adam's daughter, Aleea, during the war. This dynamic ends up carrying to the end of the series when it's revealed that Aleea is actually alive as part of Adam's scheme to fake her death to stave off the war — Alanna will have to deal with the consequences of Adam's actions behind their back, yet she finds beauty in the straightforward, honest nature of Michael recovering from his tragedy. | |

In one episode of the first season of Tangled: The Series, Rapunzel tries to get Eugene and Cassandra to bond by locking them in a cell together for a day. Eventually, the two get into a discussion about Cassandra's father, the Captain of the Royal Guard, and Cassandra reveals that he is her adoptive father and she has never met her real parents. Eugene also reveals that he was an orphan as well, having never met his parents either. Then Eugene tries to invoke this trope to bond with Cassandra, asking her what she did fantasize her parents were, but Cassandra tells him she doesn't want to discuss this with Eugene. Eugene feels very offended and accuses Cassandra of defying this trope, but the audience will discover in the third season that Cassandra did this not to deny Eugene of bonding, but because she is repressing the painful memory of being abandoned by her mother the day she kidnapped a baby Rapunzel. | |

A one-sided version in One Piece. In Usopp's introductory arc, Usopp, whose father had left his family to become a pirate and whose mother died of illness sometime afterward, befriends Kaya to help her get over the recent death of both of her parents, having first-hand experience of what she was going through. However, the usage of this trope isn't brought up until the arc is over and Usopp has left the island both of them were living on, and not by Usopp himself, but by Kaya's butler, who had learned Usopp's back story from the other villagers and figured it out. | |

He also bonded with Green Lantern Hal Jordan the same way; for all the different ways they're at odds with each other, they're still boys who lost their fathers early on. There's even some symmetry in how their fathers died and what they did about it: Bruce's father was killed by a criminal, so Bruce fights crime. Hal's father died in a plane crash, so Hal became a test pilot (who also fights crime, but the test pilot thing is more integral to his personality). | |

As in canon, Lost in Camelot sees Arthur and Merlin (Merlin (2008)) have a bonding moment when they talk about how Arthur never knew his mother or Merlin his father. Prior to that scene, Merlin had shared a similar moment with his lover Bo (Lost Girl) where the two acknowledge that neither of them know their fathers (although in Bo's case, she's glad of that ignorance given that her father was almost certainly her mother's rapist). When Gwen learns more about the circumstances of Arthur's encounter with Morgause and how she revealed a secret involving the death of Arthur's mother, she reflects that another thing she and Arthur have always shared is the gaping hole left in their lives by the absence of their own mothers. | |

When Spoiler innocently says that his parents must be worried, Spider-Man says that he doesn't have parents.

In Young Justice (2010), Zatanna's mother isn't in the picture, and she suddenly loses her father when he sacrifices himself to become the vessel of Doctor Fate, and prevent him from keeping hold of Zatanna. While Robin has been forbidden by Batman to reveal his secret identity (and, with it, the fact that his parents were murdered when he was nine), he's usually the one shown grieving with or comforting her. He had a crush on her already, but the show seems to imply that his empathy was what pushed them towards their kiss in the finale. | |

House of the Dragon: Alicent Hightower lost her mother some time ago, and her best friend Rhaenyra Targaryen loses hers in the first episode. This strains Rhaenyra's relationship with her father, Viserys. Alicent's ambitious dad Otto sees an opportunity and has his daughter offer words of advice and comfort about missing a mother...to Viserys, not Rhaenyra. Viserys becomes fond of Alicent, and she has become Rhaenyra's new stepmother by the third episode. | |

Star Wars Rebels: In the first episode of the series, when Ezra gets mixed up with the Ghost crew, he befriends Sabine, the crew member most closest to his age. Ezra asks her what happened to her parents, to which she simply answers, "The Empire.", and she asks what happened to his, but is called away to a meeting before he can answer. Later in the episode, Ezra reveals that he doesn't have any parents either. Then later in the season, when Ezra refuses the opportunity to discover the fate of his parents (because his thought process is that if they're dead, then they're gone, but if they're alive, then they never came back for him and/or he could have saved them), Sabine urges him otherwise so he can find closure. Much later in the show, the two switch roles, with Sabine being the one reluctant to see her estranged family and Ezra telling her that she can still make amends with them while he'll never be able to see his parents again. Kanan touches on this with Ezra in one episode. Ezra is upset with people getting in the way of him finding out more information about his parents, and when Kanan tells him to calm down, Ezra tells him that he doesn't know how it feels. Kanan says that he's right because as a Jedi, he was taken from his parents as a baby. Ezra apologizes and Kanan tells him that it's okay, it's too late for him now, but not for Ezra. |

Rather than leave Ricky with his mother (who is obviously very drunk), he offers to let him stay over for a few days and winds up arranging for Ernie to be his foster parent. | |

Primal (2019): Inverted. The thing that bonded Spear (a caveman) and Fang (a tyrannosaur) was that they both lost their families. One day while hunting for food for his family, Spear hears screaming and runs to see his wife and children being eaten alive by a pack of Horned Tyrannosaurs. Then after some time has past, he sees the same Horned Tyrannosaurs attacking Fang and her babies. Spear steps in and teams up with Fang to fight them. When it appears that they have slain all the Horned Tyrannosaurs, Fang's babies come and gently play with Spear's hair. Then the Horned Tyrannosaurus alpha appears and before Spear or Fang can do anything, it eat Fang's babies alive, to their shock and horror. Spear and Fang fight together and kill the alpha. Neither of them are satisfied, having both failed to protect their families. Fang just lays down while Spear sadly walks away. Later, while walking on a beach, Spear sees Fang following him, and after a moment of consideration, Spear accepts Fang, and the two head off into the night as a new family. | |

Ace Attorney: Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Miles Edgeworth and Kay Faraday. Both of their fathers were lawyers who were killed in the courthouse when they were about ten years old. This parallel does not go unnoticed by Edgeworth. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies introduces Apollo Justice's best friend, as they got to know each other by sharing their grief over the loss of their mothers (although Apollo didn't lose his, she only went missing). Too bad he's the concerned case's victim. |

Amphibia: In "Hopping Mall", Anne spends the whole episode looking for a present to give to her mother. At the end of the episode, Sprig wakes up in the middle of the night to find Anne awake and on their hotel room's balcony. He asks her about her mother, leading Anne to admit that she misses her mother more than she was letting on. Her admission leads Sprig to reveal to her (and the audience) that his and Polly's mother passed away when they were very young. He admits that he doesn't know exactly how Anne feels, but he can relate because, even though he never knew his mother, he still finds himself missing her. Anne grabs him in a hug. | |

In House of Anubis, Jerome and Joy managed to go from being sorta-friends, sorta-enemies, to genuinely loving each other, and one of the scenes that helped their relationship along was when they were washing Mara's dog and talking about their parental issues. Jerome casually mentions his father, who'd been in prison the season before, and then it starts the conversation, culminating in Jerome encouraging her to not judge her own father for the mistakes he made. | |
