Conveniently an Orphan	comment	All people come with a past, a family, friends, a heritage, and more. Every person has roots! This past can become a large burden on the character: They need an excuse to leave their family behind, or need to constantly visit their parents and other family members in between adventures. Otherwise the hero can't believably be a social, likable good guy. Orphaned heroes, on the other hand, never have to deal with all that. They do not need an excuse to go on wild adventures or stay away for days on end, they don't have anyone waiting around for them to come home! Conveniently, these heroes can answer the Call to Adventure because they don't have other responsibilities. Often used as character backgrounds in tabletop adventures: Such a character's background often consists of "My parents were killed by (insert Always Chaotic Evil race here), so I'm out for revenge." Aside from conveniently leaving no 'annoying' ties to the past to keep the character away from the Call to Adventure, it can also result in a You Killed My Father moment should the villain race (or the Big Bad if he's responsible) appear. Handily prevents the sadistic Game Master from exploiting 'weak links' that can get kidnapped or killed off. If the fates of the missing parents are left nebulous, it also opens the door for that infamous twist where one of them turns out to be a villain. You know the one. Oddly enough, family outside of parents is never mentioned. Apparently no one ever has grandparents or cousins, although having an uncle (and sometimes aunt) as surrogate parents is common. Siblings (if they exist at all) seem to only show up for plot-based reasons — and not Promotion to Parent, which would give them responsibilities. One wonders how the world manages to get populated when every couple only has one child. Surrogate parents show up more regularly in the form of Raised by Natives, they tend to die a lot too. The hero's orphaning is also a nice triggering point for the hero's journey. This part of the Hero's backstory is often covered in a Flash Back. If the orphaning happens at the very beginning of the story, instead of in the background, it's usually covered by Doomed Hometown. If the character does have parents, but they have so little influence on their life that they behave as if they have no family responsibilities anyway, or it just isn't talked about period, it's Parental Abandonment. May lead to Tell Me About My Father. Contrast with Orphan's Ordeal, where the loss of parents is the plot (or at least a subplot), rather than simply enabling the plot. If the parents happened to be Good Parents before their death, so much so that they continue to affect the main character even after they're dead, then you've got Deceased Parents Are the Best. Not to be confused with Self-Made Orphan.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: several characters have been orphaned as a plot point for their origin. Bennett was orphaned shortly after he was born; he calls the older adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild his "dads". Dehya was orphaned before her adoptive father found her, and he later died too. Diluc's father Crepus being killed is the major factor why he is the one Pyro-vision bearer to be moody, and why he and his foster brother Kaeya have a strained relationship at best. Having been stuck in a trap for a hundred years, Faruzan's family have long been dead by the time we are introduced to her. Hu Tao is the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor due to the death of her father, althro the death of her grandfather is more important to her story. Kazuha is the last member of the Kaedahara clan. Kaveh's father is dead, but his mother is living with a new husband in a foreign land. Being a zombie for a few hundred years, Qiqi is naturally orphaned. Razor was raised by wolves, and it is assumed that both of his adventuring parents are dead. Shenhe was to be sacrificed to save her mother's life, but at the end she survived but both of her parents died and she was raised by Cloud Retainer.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_1682583	comment	Kamille Bidan starts off his story with both parents alive and well, but quickly loses them within a few episodes. His mother is loaded into a transparent capsule by the Titans and chucked out into space in front of Kamille as bait so that Jerid will have a clear shot at him — except Jerid, having been falsely briefed that the capsule contains a bomb instead of a person, shoots the capsule instead of Kamille in an attempt to catch Kamille in the nonexistent bomb's explosion and wonders what the heck is going on when there's no explosion but there is one royally pissed Kamille screaming bloody murder at him. Kamille's father is also taken into custody by the Titans and told that he'll be let free if he infiltrates the Argama; unfortunately for him, his attempt to hijack a mobile suit and escape back to the Titans is cut short by Kamille. Aside from allowing him to work full-time for AEUG without having any relative the Titans can go after, his mother's death in particular sets up the Cycle of Revenge between Kamille and Jerid that kills several other people down the line on both sides of the conflict, ending with Jerid himself.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In the Dragon Age series: Averted to a certain degree for most of the Origins in Dragon Age: Origins; played completely straight for the Human Noble, however, whose parents are murdered during the course of the origin story. Regardless of background, the player character always has relatives or unrelated persons who fill the parental role in their lives, and most of them do survive the origin stories. For practical purposes, though, it still amounts to the same thing, as the player is taken away to join the Grey Wardens and is effectively cut loose by the plot. Played straight with some of your companions (Leliana, Zevran, etc.), and in Alistair's case, it's even a plot point. Parodied in the elven Alienage, where the number of "orphans" is directly proportional to the amount of money you're giving the beggars. In Dragon Age II, Hawke's father Malcolm passed away a few years before the events of the game, but his/her mother Leandra is alive and well and accompanies the family to Kirkwall, living with Hawke. And then this trope kicks in full-force. The others tend to mention their parents in passing. Anders had a good mother who gave him a pillow, before he was taken to the Circle; supplemental material confirms that his parents loved him dearly right up until his magic manifested, after which his father at least wanted nothing to do with him. Isabela had a terrible mother, who sold her to a slaver in a very bad marriage, and never mentions her father at all. Fenris remembers having a mother (eventually), but her fate is unclear. Merrill's parents are never mentioned, but she was 'traded' by her birth clan to the one in which she grew up when her magic manifested. Varric spent his childhood caring for his alcoholic mother, whom he really only mentions once when he's talking about Bartrand; his father died when he was a baby. When Hawke is mourning his/her mother, Aveline tells him/her about her own father's death to comfort him/her, and notes that her mother died when Aveline was too young to remember her. Sebastian (who is DLC exclusive) loses his parents shortly before he's met in the game, as much of his character arc centers around finding those responsible for their murders. Dragon Age: Inquisition leaves it up to the player exactly what their character's family is like; regardless of background, no family members are ever encountered in the course of the game. The human Inquisitor averts this trope, however, as Josephine explicitly mentions reaching out to their parents for support. The trend continues for some of the Inquisitor's companions. It's particularly a plot point for the elf Sera, who was orphaned young (she doesn't seem to remember her birth parents) and was adopted by a human noblewoman, who has also since died. Cassandra's backstory is an especially tragic example, as she lost both of her parents when she was a child; they were executed for attempting to overthrow the king, and then when she was twelve her adored older brother was also murdered. It's not mentioned explicitly in the game, but this is also Cullen's backstory, as his home village of Honnleath was besieged by darkspawn during the Fifth Blight and both of his parents were killed — meaning that he left home for Templar training at the age of thirteen and never saw them again.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_1bdeba5a	comment	Several mutant characters from Marvel's X-Books are orphans; sometimes by abandonment, sometimes by death, by murder, or by parents becoming a demon bear... Wait, what was that last one?! Danielle Moonstar, known as the illusion-casting Mirage before House of M, lost her parents to the 'demon bear' and knew it would come for her. After her big confrontation with it, it turns out that they were the bear and she was able to free them. No, they haven't been properly killed off since... yet. This makes her one of the exceedingly few X-characters to have both parents, despite having a standard-issue dead parent origin when we met her!

The rest of Velvet's family is eventually stripped away as well. Other human party members Magilou and Eleanor are orphaned as well, also to be blamed on the daemons. Rokurou isn't orphaned, his family just comes from extremely far away but he's hinted to have to become a Self-Made Orphan to succeed the head of his family someday. As with the seraphs in Zestiria, the malakhs are spirits born spontaneously from the world or reincarnated from those who die in specific circumstances.

This leaves her free to pursue any of the possible story paths without having to worry about a family. One story path results in her being Happily Adopted, although only the Golden Ending reveals that she's not an orphan at all — she's the kingdom's long-lost princess. Cute Knight Kingdom: She was Happily Adopted as a baby by the local candlemaker and her husband. They're quite content to let her pursue whichever story path makes her happy, however. The 'true' ending reveals that she's not an orphan either. Instead, she's a princess from outer space — with multiple mothers and fathers!

Conveniently an Orphan / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: The series as a rule enjoys making their main characters an orphan at some point in the game. Their mothers are rarely mentioned but when they are, they're dead. Their fathers will die at some point in the story for some reason. The sole exception to this so-far is Eliwood, Roy's father in The Sword of Seals who lives throughout the game but is severely bed ridden. On the other hand, both Roy's and Lilina's mothers passed away before the game starts, and Lilina loses her father Hector early on, playing this trope straight in her case. The prequel, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, viciously delights in killing off family. It's gotten to the point that if a character has a parent/sibling/uncle that loves them, nine out of ten times they're dead before the game is up, if not killed before it. Lyn's parents were both killed by bandits, Hector's parents and brother die of disease, Eliwood's dad is killed by Nergal, Raven's parents committed suicide when their house was attacked, Lucius's father was killed and his mother died of sickness, Serra's parents abandoned her, Erk's are absent, both Jaffar and Nino have dead parents, Lowen probably takes the cake though, having lost first his parents, then his grandparents in fairly quick succession. The worst part of Nino's family situation: Her adopted family are all bosses late in the game. The worst part of it is, they're not bad guys at all, and some of the conversations if you force Nino to attack them are pretty heart wrenching. Worse still, their dead bodies are reanimated in the last level, which means she has to kill them TWICE. What about the other part? When she faces off against Sonia, the woman she thought of as her mother her entire life and who she only wanted to please, the bitch is quite happy to tell Nino how she slaughtered the girl's real parents for their knowledge on dragons and Nino's real mother died shielding her. Oh, and the only reason Sonia didn't kill Nino as well is because she figured Nino might be useful later. Pretty much every character in Genealogy of Holy War due to the entire playable cast save Fin, Adeen and Brigrd being wiped out half way through the game leaving their orphaned children to continue the fight seventeen years later. Many other enemies are also orphaned by the player and are out for revenge.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_2247a14a	comment	In The Chronicles of Prydain, it's a plot point that Taran does not have parents, nor a name or title of his own, and his master Dallben will tell him nothing of his history. He is eventually known as "Taran Wanderer," when he spends the fourth book on a quest to find his heritage. It's not until the very end of the last book, however, that the truth is revealed. Or rather, unrevealed. Taran really is an orphan, but even Dallben doesn't know who his parents were — he found a baby alone near a battlefield where there were no survivors. Having no family meant that he fit the parameters of the Book of Three's prophecy that Prydain would be ruled by a great king who had no origins, so Dallben took the baby home and raised him in the hopes that this was the great king. It was.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_23945975	comment	A frequent trope in the Disney Animated Canon: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Snow White's mother died when she was a baby, and at some point her father remarried the Wicked Stepmother. The film doesn't make it explicitly clear that her father has since also died, but the Queen is always seen ruling by herself (and it's hard to imagine that the King would allow his only child and heir to be turned into a scullery maid), so it's heavily implied. Cinderella: The title character's mother died when she was very small, and she was indulged by her doting father, who eventually remarried in order to provide her with a mother's care. He, however, died some time afterward, at which point her stepmother's true colors were revealed. Sleeping Beauty: Aurora is raised by three fairies and, as far as she knows for the first 16 years of her life, has no living parents. Subverted on her 16th birthday when the fairies reveal her true heritage to her, and that her parents are alive. It was necessary for her to be separated from her parents for so long, because an evil sorceress was out to kill her. Aladdin: The original folklore version had a dead father but a living mother. The Disney Aladdin has neither parent, which makes it even easier for the audience to empathize with him for his harsh life as a "street rat". Subverted in the third movie when it's revealed that his father only disappeared. According to Word of God, Aladdin was originally supposed to have a mom, who functioned as his conscience of sorts; however, it was decided that the Aesop would be more meaningful if he learned it on his own. Tangled: Flynn Rider has this trope as part of his backstory. His motivation behind being a thief is because of growing up poor in an orphanage. Subverted in the series, when he finds out his father's still alive, but had to give him up when he was a baby. Frozen: The sister protagonists become orphans within the first ten minutes, thus allowing them to have a strained relationship with only each other. This serves as a major plot point, exacerbating the loneliness of the leads. Big Hero 6: Hiro and Tadashi are orphaned at a young age and raised by their Aunt Cass, but then Tadashi is also killed.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_247422c7	comment	Thomas Theisman from Honor Harrington was raised in an orphanage in the People's Republic of Haven, which quite conveniently means the government doesn't have any loved ones to hold over his head. Not so coincidentally, once he gets the chance, he puts a brutal and awesome end to the Committee of Public Safety and resurrects the old Republic, elected President and all, that had lain in ashes for two centuries. He does not, however, become President, being quite content to stick to the military side as Secretary of War and Chief of Naval Operations; that lovely duty goes to Eloise Pritchart, Theisman's fellow conspirator and firm believer in the old Republic and the Constitution.

He later discovered that not only were they alive, they were also bigots who'd deliberately staged the fire to kill him. For many years, Venus Dee Milo believed that she'd accidentally killed her entire family when her powers first manifested. It later turned out that she'd merely teleported them to a surprisingly hospitable pocket dimension, where they were all still alive.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_25d97c04	comment	James Bond is an orphan. Used as a (possible) plot point; he was chosen because he's an orphan, so family is not a factor upon training/traveling, nor will it be leverage should he be captured. The Daniel Craig films suggest that MI6 recruits orphans because they can exploit the particular brand of psychological scarring that results. It makes recruits more malleable to training and conditioning, since the bosses can frame themselves as a Parental Substitute — the Judi Dench version of M very explicitly does this with Bond.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_2d644371	comment	A recurring element in the Tales Series: In Tales of Phantasia, several party members including the leads Cress and Mint are orphaned very early in the game, several because their parents were a previous generation of heroes who sealed away Dhaos, and who are being targeted for the keys they hold. In Tales of Vesperia, everyone in your entire party is an orphan. With most of them, all we get is either the parent left or the parent died, or both, no further explanation. We only find out how one parent died, although it's implied (very very subtly) that several of the mothers died in childbirth. In all honesty, it feels a little ridiculous at times. Sorey in Tales of Zestiria, as he was a human raised by seraphs, which was what gave him a strong enough resonance to be the Shepherd. The seraph party members never had family, as spirits born from sites of natural power except Mikleo, who as a baby died in the same event that orphaned Sorey but immediately reincarnated as a seraph and raised alongside Sorey. His mother's technically still alive but in no position to have raised him. Exactly what orphaned Velvet, Laphicet, and Celica Crowe before Tales of Berseria is not fully explained, but can probably be blamed on the daemons that plague the world. The rest of Velvet's family is eventually stripped away as well. Other human party members Magilou and Eleanor are orphaned as well, also to be blamed on the daemons. Rokurou isn't orphaned, his family just comes from extremely far away but he's hinted to have to become a Self-Made Orphan to succeed the head of his family someday. As with the seraphs in Zestiria, the malakhs are spirits born spontaneously from the world or reincarnated from those who die in specific circumstances.

He's an orphaned refugee who is being cared for by the Qowat Milat sisterhood, whose members are friends and allies of Picard, so this creates the opportunity for the young Elnor to bond with his idol as a surrogate son since the Admiral (who happens to be childless) is the only positive male role model in his life. Although Picard would abandon Elnor for fourteen years, and the young man is very resentful over this long neglect, he nonetheless changes his mind after his initial refusal of Picard's request when his father figure's life is threatened by the townspeople. Whatever negative feelings Elnor harbours, his love for Picard is stronger, so Elnor saves him and vows to be his qalankhkai. This decision cements Elnor's place on Picard's team.

Like most orphans, she does have an "uncle" who was a friend of her father's taking care of her, although it's only financially. It turns out that he never even knew her father, and believes that because she is an orphan, few will have to mourn her once she's sealed away with the Book of Darkness. Fuuka and Rinne grew up together in an orphanage, and no mention is made of what happened to their biological families (biological being the operative word, as Rinne's adoption into the Berlinetta family plays a major role in the backstory).

Their mother's death is the Plot-Triggering Death that leads to Alphonse's soul in armor. Chapter 15 of the manga reveals that this is also Roy and Riza's mutual backstory. Riza's mother died when she was a little girl, leaving her to be raised by her Mad Scientist father, who died of a lingering illness not long after his alchemy apprentice — Roy — left to join the military. With both parents gone and no other relatives of whom she's aware, there was nothing to stop her from following Roy, which she's done ever since. Roy himself is implied to have been orphaned, as the woman who raised him is eventually revealed to be Chris Mustang, his paternal aunt. Exactly what happened to his parents is never made clear, but it's indicated that Riza's father, as his alchemy tutor, is the closest thing he's ever had to a father figure. As an adult he does his best to hide his relationship to Chris (for her safety), making it look as though he has absolutely no one in the world besides his underlings, which helps with his carefully constructed reputation as a womanizer and gadfly.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_39fe00f1	comment	Dragon Age: Inquisition leaves it up to the player exactly what their character's family is like; regardless of background, no family members are ever encountered in the course of the game. The human Inquisitor averts this trope, however, as Josephine explicitly mentions reaching out to their parents for support. The trend continues for some of the Inquisitor's companions. It's particularly a plot point for the elf Sera, who was orphaned young (she doesn't seem to remember her birth parents) and was adopted by a human noblewoman, who has also since died. Cassandra's backstory is an especially tragic example, as she lost both of her parents when she was a child; they were executed for attempting to overthrow the king, and then when she was twelve her adored older brother was also murdered. It's not mentioned explicitly in the game, but this is also Cullen's backstory, as his home village of Honnleath was besieged by darkspawn during the Fifth Blight and both of his parents were killed — meaning that he left home for Templar training at the age of thirteen and never saw them again.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Son Goku of Dragon Ball. Some time before the series began, he accidentally killed his adoptive grandfather after transforming into a giant were-ape. As for blood relatives, Dragon Ball Z reveals that his race was wiped out along with their home planet. For that matter, Raditz himself is an orphan, but unlike Son Goku, their father Bardock was alive by the time their planet was obliterated, yet he took little interest in the well being of his sons. Raditz himself failed to earn respect from any of his fellow Saiyan survivors. However, a recent Retcon has their parents send Goku to Earth in order to ensure his survival. Vegeta himself is also an orphan who was in turn was adopted by the tyrant that killed his father and ended his race. Most, if not all Z warriors have no parents whatsoever; Yamcha is introduced as a teenage desert thief with no parents or guardians mentioned; Krillin was raised by a monastic order on where he was bullied; Tien Shin-Han and Chaotzu seem to have been raised by Crane Hermit; Yajirobe was introduced as a teenage wanderer without mentioned family. The unnamed Namekian (the original Namekian survivor that later divided himself into Piccolo and Kami) is himself an orphan who is mentioned to be the son of an individual named Kattas. He spent a great deal of his youth waiting for his parents (or parent, for that matter) to no avail. After he becomes whole once again, he becomes disinterested in his past and even keeps a distance from the remaining survivors of his race.

Harry of course is an orphan, raised by his aunt and uncle, but his parents' lives and deaths, particularly his mother's self-sacrifice, do serve the plot in important ways throughout the series. However, J. K. Rowling has admitted in interviews that she originally killed off Lily and James mainly so their presence wouldn't hamper Harry's adventures, and that the original drafts of the first book killed them off rather anticlimactically; it wasn't until she lost her own mother that Harry's parents' sacrifices became an important plot point.

Lampshaded/mentioned in Unseen Academicals when only people with a note from their mother are excused from playing football. Rincewind asks the Arch-Chancellor for permission to go ask his mother for such a note. "I thought you said you didn't have a mother." [beat] "Permission to go find her, Arch-Chancellor?" In Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig lost his parents at an early age and was raised by his grandfather, who died some time before the actual start of the story. Having no family connections is, indeed, convenient for Moist, who makes his way in the world as a Con Man.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_4be1bdd0	comment	In Golden Sun, the trope is very much zig-zagged for the main cast. Isaac's father and Jenna's parents and brother are killed off right in the intro. Then it quickly turns out that the brother survived and seems to be an enemy. Then in the second game, it turns out the trope is completely subverted: the parents and Isaac's dad also survived and were made hostages, and saving them is a big motivator to the quest. So the kids are not actually orphans... then they accidentally almost kill their own parents themselves near the end of the game. Poor Isaac's mother has to almost force her son to keep going on his quest and is a source of worry, as she falls gravely ill in his absence. Ivan is an orphan and his adoptive father is kidnapped as you meet him, but the trope is toyed with: you're told that you can't do anything about it and you should just leave the father behind, but Ivan worries a lot, and you get an optional sidequest to free his father and ease his mind; and in the second game Ivan's mysterious parentage is a plot point. Sheba is also an adopted orphan and joins the group because she was kidnapped, but she's an inversion of the trope: in the second game, she refuses to drop by her hometown because her worried adoptive family would force her to stay. Piers is a straight and extreme example: he spends the first half of the game trying to go home, then when he finally does, he learns that his mother just died and he quickly gets exiled. Mia would be a straight example, having simply no mentioned family at all... but she is the one character who is sad to leave (she says farewell to her two young apprentices) and it's more a case of "conveniently rid of her town-healer duties". And Garet is a complete aversion: he's the only cast member who has a large, living and functional family, but they all encourage him to save the world and fatherless Isaac gets more angst; then, in the epilogue cutscene of the second game, Garet comes home, finds the town destroyed, and thinks for a moment that they all died. The first four heroes of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn all have at least one parent still alive and caring for them — the previous games' heroes (whom the kids strongly resemble). However, the second set of heroes include two straight examples (Sveta, whose parents died in Morgal's revolutionary war, and Eoleo when his father dies onscreen), a subversion (Amiti, who doesn't have parents but lives with his affectionate and overprotective uncle, who tries to forbid him from heroics), and an aversion (Himi's parents aren't happy to see her going into danger, but they have to let her because she's the only one who knows what needs to be done anymore).

Technically speaking, John is an orphan too: both his and Jade's biological parents are long dead. He is raised by his 'father', who is technically his half-brother. Oh, and his and Jade's biological parents are John's grandmother and Jade's grandfather. Confused yet? And as of 2/19, all of the kids are orphans in both the traditional and technical sense.. Troll society is entirely like this, as the adults go off to conquer the universe while they leave the planet in the hands of the youth for the most part, leaving them to be Raised by Wolves. At least until events cause all of said Wolves to die, but they remained as their sprites. Until Jack Noir killed them all over again. In the Alpha universe, Roxy and Dirk. Even more so once it's revealed that the two of them exist on Earth 400 years in the future, and their parents have been dead for centuries and left caches of food and supplies for them.

Briar grows up in a street gang, Sandry is sent to live with her uncle after her parents die, and Daja becomes an orphan at the start of the series and goes straight to the Temples. It's in a medieval-ish society, so they could have been taken on as apprentices around that age anyway, but instead form something of a magical Super Family Team. Tris Chandler, the only one who actually does have biological relatives, is an emotional orphan, if not a physical one. Her parents didn't want her because of the destructive power of her untrained magic, and by the time she comes to the Temples, she's spent years being dumped on various relatives who either didn't want to take care of her or who treated her as an unpaid servant. And the one relative whom she likes ends up trying to kill her.

Sherry loses both of her parents during the events of Resident Evil 2 (her mother is shot and her father transforms into a tooth-covered, virus-riddled abomination and is eventually put down), and Steve Burnside loses his father to the T-Virus during Code Veronica.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_5921531a	comment	All over the place in Persona 3; the protagonist, Akihiko, and Shinjiro are orphans. Ken is probably an orphan (dead mother, no mention of father but is being supported by a distant cousin). All three members of Strega are likely orphans (Jin mentions that they, and other artificial Persona-users were all found on the streets as children). Yukari's father is dead, and her mother a hot mess incapable of being any kind of real parent. Mitsuru's mother only appears in a CD drama, and her father is killed late in the game. Junpei only has a father. Only Fuuka has two living parents, and she's estranged from them. Even Koromaru, a dog, has lost his own master. If nothing else, it makes fighting Shadows easier for them. The parental situation of Persona 4 is far better, with the only real orphan being Naoto, and even then, she had been raised by her grandfather the entire time. Kanji's father is explicitly stated to be dead, but he still has his mother, Teddie is a Shadow, and Yu's parents travel abroad frequently. Everyone else in the party is from a completely intact family. The tone of the game may help. Persona 3 is darker than Persona 4 and most of the time, the abandonment is ether a direct or indirect result of the Kirijo group's experimentation on the Shadows, with the other two members having parents that made it personally preferable to live in the dorm. This trope is mostly absent from the two earlier games, with the only cases of parental loss coming from Persona 2: Maya's father, a war journalist, died on the field, and Jun's parents, who are both dead by the end of Innocent Sin, but are resurrected when Philemon resets time. This trope also looks like it's in effect for Tatsuya and Katsuya Suou, but turns out to be entirely averted for them — their father (and indeed, their mother) is mysteriously absent from Innocent Sin, a game in which every other major character's father makes an appearance, but he later shows up in the Updated Re Release of Eternal Punishment, and their mother has been confirmed to be alive via the guide books (albeit a passive figure in her sons' lives). Persona 5 goes back to this in spades, though it is addressed more than in the previous titles. Joker's parents abandoned him to a distant friend in Tokyo when he was arrested for assault though he supposedly returns to them in the ending; Ryuji's abusive dad abandoned him and his mom; Ann's parents travel a lot; Yusuke's mom died and his father is never mentioned; Makoto's father died and she is being raised by her sister; Futaba's mother is dead and her father's whereabouts are unknown as she was born out of wedlock; Haru's father is killed during the plot and her mother is never mentioned; and Goro's mother killed herself and his father is only vaguely aware that Goro is his son. However, Yusuke, Futaba, Haru, and Goro's statuses are all plot relevant.

The fact that this is not the case for many of the children detained for the purpose of Alma's research eventually becomes a plot point. When she first tells her husband about the children, she claims most of them are orphans she's providing for. Her husbands reply is to bring up their adoptive son who's being passed off as Alma's nephew, whose biological parents were told he died in the hospital and were killed soon after they found him again by chance.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_629cd094	comment	Averted to a certain degree for most of the Origins in Dragon Age: Origins; played completely straight for the Human Noble, however, whose parents are murdered during the course of the origin story. Regardless of background, the player character always has relatives or unrelated persons who fill the parental role in their lives, and most of them do survive the origin stories. For practical purposes, though, it still amounts to the same thing, as the player is taken away to join the Grey Wardens and is effectively cut loose by the plot. Played straight with some of your companions (Leliana, Zevran, etc.), and in Alistair's case, it's even a plot point. Parodied in the elven Alienage, where the number of "orphans" is directly proportional to the amount of money you're giving the beggars.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Link is often an orphan, leaving him with no prior engagements to his adventure. The number of games that even mention his family can be counted on one hand, sometimes still playing the trope straight: A Link to the Past: Link's uncle is struck down in the beginning of the game, forcing Link to take up his sword. Ocarina of Time: The Great Deku Tree, having raised Link and the other Kokiri forest children, dies early in the game. As a secret Hylian, this actually happened to Link twice; his proper Hylian parents died in a civil war, the fatally-wounded mother wandering into the forest and entrusting the then-infant Link to the Deku Tree in her last moments. The Wind Waker: One of two aversions in the series. Link rescuing his sister is the impetus of the main quest, and visiting and helping his grandmother is a sidequest. The Minish Cap: The other aversion in the series. Link's grandfather is shown to be alive, though he plays a miniscule role in the plot. Zelda might also count in some of the games. She definitely counts in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, where her figurine clearly spells it out and an NPC early in the game mentions that her mother died, and in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, in which her father is killed shortly before the start of the game and her mother has been dead for years.

While nothing holds her back, she must constantly pretend her father exists, she must work illegally (in Poland you can't work under the age of sixteen) to pay for her house and school and she has to hide all that from her classmates.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_78e27fa7	comment	The series as a rule enjoys making their main characters an orphan at some point in the game. Their mothers are rarely mentioned but when they are, they're dead. Their fathers will die at some point in the story for some reason. The sole exception to this so-far is Eliwood, Roy's father in The Sword of Seals who lives throughout the game but is severely bed ridden. On the other hand, both Roy's and Lilina's mothers passed away before the game starts, and Lilina loses her father Hector early on, playing this trope straight in her case. The prequel, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, viciously delights in killing off family. It's gotten to the point that if a character has a parent/sibling/uncle that loves them, nine out of ten times they're dead before the game is up, if not killed before it. Lyn's parents were both killed by bandits, Hector's parents and brother die of disease, Eliwood's dad is killed by Nergal, Raven's parents committed suicide when their house was attacked, Lucius's father was killed and his mother died of sickness, Serra's parents abandoned her, Erk's are absent, both Jaffar and Nino have dead parents, Lowen probably takes the cake though, having lost first his parents, then his grandparents in fairly quick succession.

Azmaria's parents either abandoned her because of her powers, or were killed during the war, depending on which version you're following. Satella's parents were killed by a demon when she was a child. Her sister was also kidnapped by the demon — leading her on a journey similar to Rosette's. However, since her parents' deaths are such a turning point for Satella in her backstory, she leans closer to Orphan's Ordeal instead.

And sure enough, the only living parent to any of the Titans ever seen in the series is not a very nice guy: Cyborg's father is (presumably) alive. In the comics he was the one who made him a... well, Cyborg. His mother is explicitly deceased. We also get to meet Beast Boy's (adoptive) parents from the Doom Patrol. Elasti-Girl is pretty nice, but Mento is bit of a jerk. In Teen Titans Go!, Raven's mother is alive after Trigon's defeat. Robin's parents are dead as always, but this incarnation heavily implies that he even ditched his "father" Batman so he could move on. (And ended up gathering a bunch of friends around him instead, but no adults. The closest thing to a parent he has is Slade purring about what a great apprentice he could be...) We don't see Starfire's parents, either. The closest thing she has to a family adult figure is her uncle, which is good since her only other family is her sister, Blackfire...

His mother is loaded into a transparent capsule by the Titans and chucked out into space in front of Kamille as bait so that Jerid will have a clear shot at him — except Jerid, having been falsely briefed that the capsule contains a bomb instead of a person, shoots the capsule instead of Kamille in an attempt to catch Kamille in the nonexistent bomb's explosion and wonders what the heck is going on when there's no explosion but there is one royally pissed Kamille screaming bloody murder at him. Kamille's father is also taken into custody by the Titans and told that he'll be let free if he infiltrates the Argama; unfortunately for him, his attempt to hijack a mobile suit and escape back to the Titans is cut short by Kamille. Aside from allowing him to work full-time for AEUG without having any relative the Titans can go after, his mother's death in particular sets up the Cycle of Revenge between Kamille and Jerid that kills several other people down the line on both sides of the conflict, ending with Jerid himself. Banagher Links has been living on his own even since his mother took him and ran away from his father and died a few years later. He runs into his father after all those years, only for the man to die right in front of him after biometrically locking the Unicorn to Banagher, making him an orphan for real. For that matter, Mineva is an orphan too, being the daughter of Dozle Zabi whom Amuro killed all the way back in the original series. While her mother survived the war and made it to Axis, she fell ill and died a few years later; Mineva then got under the care of Haman, only for her to send the girl down to Earth and subsequently get killed by Judau at the end of ZZ. Kira Yamato seemingly has both parents alive and well, only to find out later that the woman who raised him and whom he believed was his mother is actually his aunt; both of his parents died when he was a baby, with at least his father being murdered by Blue Cosmos. By virtue of being Kira's twin sister, this applies to Cagalli as well. And in the Astray mangas, Canard Pars joins them as third, being one of Kira's failed prototype clones. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny begins with Shinn and his family fleeing from a mobile suit battle and Shinn going back to get his sister Mayu's phone when she drops it, conveniently putting him outside the blast radius when the others get blown to pieces by a stray shot and providing him with a Tragic Keepsake. This event ends up defining his personality for the rest of the series. Every single Gundam Meister in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is an orphan: Setsuna gunned his parents down to go play Child Soldier, Lockon got his blown up along with his sister in a terrorist bombing, Allelujah was picked up from somewhere by the HRL Super-Soldier research program and Tieria never had any in the first place. Nor did the Trinities for that matter. Lichty is an orphan too, his parents having died in an accident that required him to get extensive cybernetic reconstruction. Feldt's parents are revealed by supplemental materials to have been Gundam Meisters who died from GN particle poisoning caused by a drive malfunction in the Virtue's predecessor unit Plutone. She never found out about this but it may have contributed to her Emotionless Girl phase in the first season. 80% of all characters in Mobile Fighter G Gundam are orphans, major and minor characters, and a few of them have only one parent. The rest are undetermined. For many of them, this plays a role in why they became Gundam Fighters. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, most of the Tekkadan and Brewers members are orphaned children, they were considered expendable to a degree people called them "human debris" or "space rats". There is no in-universe explanation of how they were orphaned.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_8b2ba062	comment	A Cry in the Night: Played for Drama in the case of protagonist Jenny. She was adopted from a children's home and so never knew her biological family, her adoptive parents died decades ago and her grandmother recently died too. Her only family now are her two young daughters and her loser ex-husband. As a result, she's very susceptible to Erich's charms, especially as he offers her a chance for a loving family again; it also makes it much easier for Erich to isolate her after she marries him.

Both Nami and Franky, for example, were orphaned at a young age, but taken in and raised by a kind foster parent... only for them to die as well. But they've still got it better than Robin, who didn't just lose her parents, but HER ENTIRE HOME ISLAND, of which she is the only survivor. Most of the others seem to have absentee parents of one form or another; the only member whose mother and father are both seen is Usopp, a victim of both this trope AND Parental Abandonment (his dad left to become a pirate, and his mom died shortly after). For a while, it seemed that Luffy was a victim of this trope as well, his lack of parentage explained with a throwaway remark that "that kid has no parents" in the first chapter. Years later, we learned that Luffy was actually raised by his grandfather, and that his dad, at least, is alive (he's just the most wanted man in the world, which can make it tough to raise a kid). Momonosuke is also an orphan, his parents having been murdered by the Beast Pirates on Kaido's orders when they took over Wano Kingdom.

Like all orphans in Megacity One, Cassandra Anderson is given a Judge Aptitude Test at age nine, though in her case she was rated unsuitable and only let in because of her abilities as a telepath. It's not stated why the Hall of Justice prefers orphans as Judges, but the job has an extremely High Turnover Rate and requires a ruthless detachment that Cassandra lacks, at least at first. Cassandra's family is shown to be a motivating factor for her decision to be a Judge — her introductory scene shows her holding a well-worn picture of her parents and smiling at the associated memories.

Ragnor Blackmane, of William King's Space Wolf novels, is orphaned in the opening of the first.

As Rico is one of the few cyborgs who retains memories of her previous life, the occasional visit from her estranged parents is no doubt enough to reassure them that their Delicate and Sickly daughter is receiving the best of care; the Agency would have no trouble getting Rico to play along.

And then this trope kicks in full-force. The others tend to mention their parents in passing. Anders had a good mother who gave him a pillow, before he was taken to the Circle; supplemental material confirms that his parents loved him dearly right up until his magic manifested, after which his father at least wanted nothing to do with him. Isabela had a terrible mother, who sold her to a slaver in a very bad marriage, and never mentions her father at all. Fenris remembers having a mother (eventually), but her fate is unclear. Merrill's parents are never mentioned, but she was 'traded' by her birth clan to the one in which she grew up when her magic manifested. Varric spent his childhood caring for his alcoholic mother, whom he really only mentions once when he's talking about Bartrand; his father died when he was a baby. When Hawke is mourning his/her mother, Aveline tells him/her about her own father's death to comfort him/her, and notes that her mother died when Aveline was too young to remember her. Sebastian (who is DLC exclusive) loses his parents shortly before he's met in the game, as much of his character arc centers around finding those responsible for their murders.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_eb6802b4	comment	Lightning, Serah, and Snow in Final Fantasy XIII. Presumably Fang and Vanille as well, since they were in crystal stasis for several hundred years. Only Hope is the exception, and both his parents are seen during the course of the game, though his mother dies less than an hour in. Though this is averted with the Big Bad. It's unclear if, as a Mechanical Lifeform, it really has parents, but the game is fond of related symbolism in regards to it, and at the very least it was abandoned by the gods who created it. Unlike the heroes, it took the trauma of this situation rather badly. very badly actually. Unfortunately the heroes never discuss this.

This leaves her free to pursue any of the possible story paths without having to worry about a family. One story path results in her being Happily Adopted, although only the Golden Ending reveals that she's not an orphan at all — she's the kingdom's long-lost princess.

Conveniently an Orphan / int_ecd2d797	comment	The protagonist of Baldur's Gate is raised by Gorion the sage, and at the start of the game does not know who his/her real parents were. It turns out that both are dead, and that the PC's father was the deity of murder, Bhaal. The trope is subverted, since the latter part of the game, and the sequel, are about the consequences of Bhaal's attempts to avoid his coming death — which among other things resulted in the PC's birth and special heritage.

When Walter replies that she has none and is an orphan, Alucard sardonically replies, "Of course she is". However, since Seras was already an adult by the time she died, the circumstances and consequences of her parents' deaths are shown to be a major part of her character; given that the series veers into Crapsack World territory and runs on Black-and-Gray Morality, it's a justified trope.
