Maybe they grew up an orphan, maybe they have amnesia, or maybe they just grew up in a society that doesn't celebrate the day someone is born. Either way, this character doesn't have a birthday. This usually comes as a shock to their peers. Oftentimes, the character will be assigned a birthday based on an important date in their life. It may not be their real birthday but the idea is still the same. Sometimes, their friends, being shocked that they have Never Had a Birthday Party, will also throw them a party. May lead to Vague Age. If the character doesn't remember their birthday, this often relates to a Mysterious Past. One of the reasons a character may have Never Had a Birthday Party. Often caused by the same reasons a character was Never Given a Name. Compare Forgotten Birthday for when a character's friends/family forget their birthday and Forgot Their Own Birthday for when a character forgets their own birthday. This may also go along with a Birthday Hater. |

Dark Angel: Max and her fellow X5s don't know their own birthdays because they were raised as Child Soldiers by an evil government project called Manticore that didn't bother celebrating them (although The Eyes Only Dossier shows that it did make note of them). At the end of the episode "C.R.E.A.M.", Max picks the day before as her birthday in a play on the phrase "born yesterday". Alec is momentarily confused in "Freak Nation" when Normal brings out a cake and starts singing for him, since he had randomly put that date as his birthday on his job application form back when he became a Jam Pony messenger. | |

When she manages to reunite with them, she learns that she was born on July 2, 1988, not in 1989 as she'd previously believed, and is a whole year older than she thought. | |

In the first Red Dwarf book, while applying to the Space Corps, Lister gives his date of birth as "unknown", due to his being found in a cardboard box under a pool table.note As he was in the show, although in that version he eventually learned his true origins. When asked when he celebrates his birthday, he replies "most of the time". Eventually the interviewer puts 14th October, based on the fact that he was found in November and believed to be about six weeks old, but it's pretty much just a guess. | |

The Hair Bear Bunch: At the end of "The Diet Caper," the zoo animals are raiding keeper Peevly's refrigerator, which Hair Bear says as an alibi was because they were celebrating Botch's birthday. Peevly grudgingly buys it and then quips that he didn't know it was Botch's birthday. "Neither did I till Hair said so," Botch says. Hair then tells his buddies he made up the notion it was Botch's birthday and Botch couldn't blow the whistle about it because he himself doesn't remember when his birthday is. | |

BlazBlue has a variant. Noel was told by her foster-parents that her birthday was December 25, and that's where her name comes from. She was actually smelted on January 7th. The other birthday was implanted, along with all memories of her childhood, to disguise her age even from herself. The games imply her friends continue to celebrate her birthday on Christmas because that's Noel's birthday and Clones Are People, Too. | |

Wilhelm Ehrenburg from Dies Irae was born into destitute poverty during WW1 and post war Germany, and as such, there are no documents of his birth and his family was a pretty dysfunctional one as well so they didn't really keep track, something he notes wasn't uncommon during that time. He believes he was born sometime in 1917 but admits that its about the best guess he can manage. | |

Feeling playful, she first lets him believe he forgot her birthday, but he quickly figures out that isn't the case. He's pretty ambivalent to the concept of his birthday, but goes along with it for her sake. After they find his biological father, Rapunzel again pulls off a "Surprise! It's your birthday!" party now that she knows the actual date. | |

A variation occurs in Finding Carter. The eponymous protagonist, a teenager who recently learned that her "mother" actually kidnapped her when she was a toddler, thought she knew her birthday, but after she's returned to her birth family, she learns that her real birthday is nowhere near the date on which she'd been celebrating her birthday for most of her life. Her twin sister later tells her that the date she had been told was her birthday was actually the anniversary of her kidnapping. | |

In the Futurama episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On Television", Cubert asks the Professor if he has a birthday, since as a clone, he wasn't "born." They decide to celebrate the anniversary of when the Professor extracted his DNA. Dwight was born the same week, so they become Birthday Buddies. | |

In the Modesty Blaise series, Modesty was orphaned very young and doesn't know her real birthday (or anything else about her birth family; even her name is one she acquired later). In The Impossible Virgin, when Sir Giles says that at his age he doesn't bother celebrating birthdays, she says that she uses it as an excuse to celebrate her birthday three times a year. | |

Applies to Celestia and Luna in the Triptych Continuum. Justified because keeping exact time in the Discordian Era was impossible: they know they're about two years apart, but they don't have recorded birthdates because there was nothing to record them against. (Any given location was lucky to have seasons.) There are dates on which their birthdays are celebrated, but those come from the consensus of the herd. | |

In the Grand Finale of M*A*S*H, B.J. couldn't make it home in time for his daughter Erin's birthday, so the camp cheers him up with a birthday celebration for a Korean orphan whom they claim was born on the same day as Erin. They later admit that they have no idea when the Korean orphan was born, and they just selected a child who looked to be the right age. B.J. is still touched: | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses a disguised example. While Byleth's date of birth is chosen by the player, they do have a canon birthdate as well. As in, one that's always canon, revealed as part of the plot. It's hinted the player-chosen birthdate actually belongs to Sothis, which Byleth osmosed thanks to Sharing a Body. As for why he's never corrected on this despite growing up with an active and loving biological father, it's hinted Jeralt deliberately left Byleth in the dark about their own youth just in case he ever had to lie to Rhea about it. | |

Averted hard in Tangled. Despite having been kidnapped as an infant and kept completely isolated from the outside world by Mother Gothel, Rapunzel still knows her actual birthday. In fact, the plot hinges on her obsession with the floating lanterns her biological parents release in her honor every year because they always appear on her birthday. If Mother Gothel had simply lied about Rapunzel's birthday—or even neglected to teach her the concept of birthdays in the first place—Rapunzel never would have gotten the motivation to run away in the first place. | |

I Dream of Jeannie: In the two-part story "The Girl Who Never Had a Birthday", Jeannie tells Tony that she does not know her birthday. However, she does know that Neptune was in Scorpio on the day that she was born. Tony and Roger try to find out the date of Jeannie's birthday by feeding this information into the NASA computer ERIC. After several failed attempts to access the computer, Roger finds out the date but Dr. Bellows ships him off to Alaska before he has a chance to tell either Tony or Jeannie. He eventually returns two episodes later in "My Master, the Great Caruso" and tells Jeannie that she was born on April 1, 64 B.C. | |
