Discworld Parodied (with a partial reference to John Major's backstory, see below) in the novel Making Money. It turns out that Mr. Bent, the Obstructive Bureaucrat chief cashier was the illegitimate son of a particularly famous clown. Because of his natural talent for clowning, he was asked to perform after he reunited with his father; alas, he was traumatized because everybody was laughing at him, and they somehow neglected to warn him that it was supposed to happennote Of course, being laughed at is actually an unusual experience for a Discworld clown, and opinion seems to be divided as to whether it's even a desirable one. Bent ran away from the circus and joined a group of Traveling Accountants, swearing off laughter, humor, and "silliness" for decades. After escaping from an Orphanage of Fear, the two-bodied Miss Level from A Hat Full of Sky spent the rest of her childhood at Monty Bladder's Three-Ring Circus as Topsy and Tipsy, the Astounding Mind Reading Act (and the Astounding Bohonkus Sisters, who juggled plates) before eventually leaving due to a Noodle Incident with a clown and becoming a witch. |

InCryptid: Frances Brown was left as a Doorstop Baby at the Campbell Family Carnival, and raised by the carnies. She ended up becoming their star performer until she left with Jonathan Healy, but she stays in touch with her friends there, and Jonathan even arranges for the Carnival to come to Buckley for their wedding. Fran and Jonathan's grandchildren Kevin and Jane were also raised by the Campbell Family Carnival, though not because they were orphans — their mom was off in Another Dimension searching for their dad. |

Ty Lee of Avatar: The Last Airbender fame is this, by way of the 'ran away to join the circus' variant. It's implied she did this to stand out from her nearly-identical sisters-though it would be understandable if she did it to escape Azula. This leads to her having traits of both I Just Want to Be Normal and I Just Want to Be Special. |

He even ended up using his sizable trust fund to buy them out to save them from financial ruin. He's generally regarded as the best acrobat in the world. Originally Jason Todd, as Dick's Suspiciously Similar Substitute, was also this. He was given a completely different backstory after the Crisis reboot. |

The Fairly OddParents! : There's an episode where Timmy runs away from home and tries to become this for a nearby circus. With the help of Cosmo and Wanda he becomes such an amazing performer that the circus stars get angry and try to kick him out. They're actually fairies themselves, and they specifically created a circus to catch runaway kids and send them back to their families. Cosmo and Wanda knew it and sent Timmy to their circus to convince him to go back home. School's Out! The Musical is a movie spawned from the series. Flappy Bob's childhood life as a clown and his secret love for it, despite his boring Pixie-life, is a vital part of the plot. Few after Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda convince him to embrace his desire to be a clown rather than a lawyer, they find out that the Pixies tricked Bob into thinking that his clown parents had abandoned him, and he decides to help Timmy retaliate against them. Once everything's said and done, Bob is happily reunited with his family. |

Razputin from Psychonauts, which is used to justify his acrobatic abilities. In an inversion, he ran away from the circus. He had a strict upbringing because his father was trying to prepare him for encounters with their family's many enemies, who were hinted at in a Sequel Hook that eventually took off. The sequel also has Raz's siblings, who are also circus acrobats. | |

Ellis from Battle Arena Toshinden. Thanks to horrific events in her past, her father sent her to be raised anonymously as a dancer in a Turkish traveling circus in order to keep her safe from the mysterious organization hunting them. As a result, she became an extremely skilled Dance Battler, arguably one of the fastest playable characters in the game and capable of jumps and acrobatics that actually makes players think she can fly. | |

The Greatest Showman details the first circus, so naturally, there aren't many in Barnum's act who had been in the circus before. Regardless, the Wheelers are implied to have some sort of previous acrobatics and trapeze experience, and Anne is one of the youngest in the show. | |

This seemed to be the case for one-shot character Espa Roba from the original Yu-Gi-Oh!. He and his younger brothers were former carnies (Espa presumably a carnival psychic, given his methods of dueling later), with Espa getting a Promotion to Parent for his siblings via some unknown incident. | |

The title character of the 1923 musical Poppy (and that of its silent film adaptation, Sally of the Sawdust) is a Heartwarming Orphan brought up in the circus as a Fortune Teller by Professor Eustace McGargle (portrayed on stage and screen by W. C. Fields), a magnificently hypocritical Con Man. | |

School's Out! The Musical is a movie spawned from the series. Flappy Bob's childhood life as a clown and his secret love for it, despite his boring Pixie-life, is a vital part of the plot. Few after Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda convince him to embrace his desire to be a clown rather than a lawyer, they find out that the Pixies tricked Bob into thinking that his clown parents had abandoned him, and he decides to help Timmy retaliate against them. Once everything's said and done, Bob is happily reunited with his family. | |

Jeagar a clown-like villain from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. He was the oldest son in a family of circus performers, but business was bad, so they couldn't afford to feed themselves. (Given the fact that they lived on Cup Ramen, a traditionally inexpensive food, this suggests that it was even worse than Jeagar suggested.) As a result, Jeagar, being the eldest son, left the circus and went to Neo Domino where he became a member of Sector Security, and managed to keep his family well-fed with a much bigger salary. Unfortunately, that led to him becoming a member of Yliaster, and ultimately, an accomplice to morally questionable deeds he later regretted, especially when his family was in danger as a result. | |

Ashita no Nadja: Rita Rossi. Twice, actually: the circus owned by her parents got burned down, and since they died in that same fire she was taken in by the Dandelion Troupe, the people that the Rossis entrusted her to before perishing. Kennosuke and Nadja themselves. They weren't raised in the circus, but work there. |
