Everyone sometimes feels that their ordinary modern life is rubbish, and that they would rather escape to an exotic place with a new identity. The Going Native trope plays to this fantasy by having a character lifted out of his typical environment and thrust into a new one, only to become a part of that new world. Characters who start as an imperialistic Jerkass with heavy prejudices against the native group are especially prone to Going Native. Not only do they embrace the people who were once alien, they come to loathe the familiar "civilization" to which they once belonged. Their loyalties change, and they will even fight for their new friends. As soon as they feel quite comfortable, possibly having fallen in love with a native and/or learned big lessons from a mentor figure, count on their old life to come messing with them. Optionally there might be an episode of being tempted back to their "evil old ways". Or they might just rise to the occasion as a Mighty Whitey. This is also what can happen to a Foreign Ruling Class: they could take more and more of their subjects' culture until becoming entirely assimilated. In cases like these, these two tropes can heavily overlap with Led by the Outsider. Going Native is not restricted to known tribal cultures. It might involve characters involved with aliens, orcs, you name it. Overlaps may occur with Becoming the Mask. Oddly, it is almost never used in cases where it is the audience's group being joined by a more advanced figure, such as the Fifth Column in V (1983). Not to say it never happens, of course. Most real-life successful native-goers start out as extremely adaptable (e.g. Lawrence of Arabia). Dramatic requirements might call for the character to be not this adaptable to make the story of his transformation more interesting. If the character becomes more successful in his new culture than he could have ever been back home, it's Like a Duck Takes to Water. While often considered highly problematic in fiction and academics, it's not actually a bad thing in itself. During military actions in (or the exploitation of) foreign countries it can easily lead to conflicts of interests and the mainstream paradigm of social sciences is to keep observation from an insider perspective and an outsider perspective clearly separate. For individuals finding a new community to call their home, it is simply a case of successful integration. Individuals that have become well integrated into local society have come to be highly valued as interpreters and mediators, as opposed to mere translators. Compare Noble Savage, Raised by Natives, Raised by Orcs, Raised by Wolves, Mighty Whitey, Becoming the Mask, Foreign Correspondent, Lost in Character, Starting a New Life, Cultural Personality Makeover. See also Of the People. For the inversion, see Majored in Western Hypocrisy. |

In Ultimate Spider-Man, SHIELD agent Coulson is made the new principal of Peter Parker's school, in order to keep an eye on the super-powered kids there. Before long he starts fretting about the budget, even calling Nick Fury for help. The head of SHIELD even remarks "Coulson's gone native." | |

The Emerald Forest: Subverted because Tommy was forced to go native and his dad Bill did not go native. But the movie did do a fair compare and contrast between the natives and the city dwellers showing both had advantages and difficulties. (This was Very Loosely Based on a True Story involving a Peruvian worker's search for his son who had been stolen and adopted by a forest tribe.) | |

The Dragon and the Butterfly: Hiccup and Toothless, after crashing in the Encanto, quickly fall in love with the place and its people, as everything there (the weather, the location, the food, etc) is better than what Berk has to offer. Considering all of the abuse that the two suffered from the Vikings, it's no surprise that they choose to build a new life in the Encanto, with Hiccup dressing in Encanto clothes, living off of Julieta's cooking, and learning to read Spanish. | |

Justice League: The finale of the first series, "Starcrossed", reveals that Hawkgirl is an agent sent to spy on Earth by the alien Thanagarians. She betrays the League and the Earth by helping the Thangarians conquer the planet in order to institute their plan. However, during her time on Earth, she adapted to human culture, including their morality on right and wrong and equality for all, causing her to question the "By any means necessary" warrior culture of Thanagar. As a result, when she learns of the true plan to build a Hyperspace Bypass that would destroy the planet, she double-crosses her own people and helps the League destroy the device and drive the Thanagarians away. | |

A Man Called Horse, in which a white man joins the Sioux. It's considerably more honest about less pleasant aspects of Sioux traditional life, such as the torture of captives and the Sun Dancenote One of the supreme sacred acts of Native life, associated mostly with the Lakhota but not limited to Plains tradition, the Sun Dance is a ceremony of thanksgiving, self-offering, and commitment and portrayed fairly accurately here. than Dances With Wolves. However, it was criticized for still having a white main character,note It's certainly not that Native tribes including the Lakhota didn't adopt Anglo men and women: they did, quite frequently, and there was plenty of intermarriage. with practices attributed to the Sioux actually alleged to be a mix of Mandan and Crow tradition (the Crow were enemies of the Sioux, ironically). American Indian activist Buffy Sainte-Marie called it "the whitest of movies [she had] ever seen." | |

Cleo Leo, An unusual variation mixed with elements of Split-Personality Takeover. Initially 'Cleo' has an internal monologue in Leo's masculine voice indicating that the reincarnation is purely physical. As the film progresses and 'Cleo' adapts to life as a woman the 'Leo' mental voice begins to become fainter and interspersed with an internal voice in Cleo's feminine voice with 'Leo' expressing resentment, anger and reluctance to change while 'Cleo' expresses confusion but also acceptance and femininity including attraction to Bob. Eventually, half way through the movie the 'Leo' voice fades away completely leaving just 'Cleo' as she begins to think of herself as a woman. | |

Played with in the story of Norman Taylor, an 1850s American imperialist who became enamored with an indigenous Polynesian form of Sarkicism he finds. However, he still engages in White Man's Burden and feels a moral need to civilize the peoples he finds to save them from colonial exploitation. |

The Owl House: At the end of the first episode, Luz decides to stay on the Boiling Isles to learn magic and become a witch, moving in with the witch Eda and her demon roommate/child King. Most of the first season is dedicated to Luz trying to find her place in witch-society and figuring out new methods of doing magic that work for a human born without magical powers. Played straight and very tragically subverted with Caleb and Philip Wittebane. Philip entered the isles on the hunt for his older brother Caleb, who he believed to have been abducted by a witch. When he found Caleb, it turns out that this wasn't the case, and Caleb actually went voluntarily, settling in on the Isles permanently and marrying and having a child with a witch woman named Evelyn. Philip was so enraged by this that he stabbed Caleb to death, and began plotting the genocide of the entire Demon Realm. Even now, after 400 years of living in the Demon Realm and acquiring enough power to become their emperor, Philip still sees the witches around him as subhuman and evil, and starts preparing to return to the Human Realm the second he thinks he's won. |

The Victors Project: Two dozen District 4 peacekeepers side with the Rebellion, stepping aside for them to take the armory, led by the deputy head, who's noted as this specifically. Every single District 5 peacekeeper fought against Romulus Thread and the elite peacekeepers when they're ordered to decimate the district. It's left ambiguous if they were on the side of the Rebellion all along, or simply decided to a man that Thread was beyond the pale. |

Due to a nail, Enterprise and Yamato in the KanColle fic Eternity ended up switching nations after the War. Enterprise, now Yonaga, ended up serving Japan for so long that she gained the titular nickname Eien, and in her own admission this service helped her to unwind from the near permanment Roaring Rampage of Revenge mentality she had during the Pacific War. Yamato, now USS Montana, saw quite a bit action during her service, which makes her happy after being a figurehead during the War. | |

Rocket Age has one example so far. Dr Peter Sawyer, the Hairless Warrior or Kioth-Tanied, went native after witnessing the genocide of a Venusian concordat at the hands of their traditional enemies and aggressive Earthling corporations. He now leads a band while his parents worry for him back on Earth. | |

Steven Universe: Rose Quartz (or rather, Pink Diamond) grew so enamoured with Earth and humanity that she started a rebellion disguised as her alter ego hoping to convince the Diamonds to abandon it and leave it in peace. When that failed, she decided to fake her own death at the blade of "Rose" and live as her alter ego from that day forward. | |

Avatar does this — in a more futuristic way: the researchers interact with the Na'vi indirectly, via the remote-mind-controlled "Avatar" bodies. One of them literally goes native after transferring his brain into the Na'vi body. Another attempts to upload her brain entirely into her Avatar after being shot, but dies before it can happen. More traditionally played by Trudy, who lacks an avatar of her own, but sympathises with the Na'vi after the ruthless destruction of the Na'vi home and provides a lot of valuable help in the Final Battle by turning up in her gunship coated with Na'vi warpaint. Sadly, she doesn't make it. |

Sunset Shimmer in the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls films and specials is a unicorn who ran away from the source show's setting to the human world, and spends years there plotting revenge on her Physical God mentor. Even after being defeated she's forced to stay behind, but later rejects an offer to return to her home dimension, as that would mean abandoning the friends she's made. This is emphasized in Mirror Magic, where several of the opening jokes surround the fact that Sunset has all but forgotten that she was originally a unicorn, needing to be reminded that she should be walking on all fours and can use levitation magic when briefly visiting Equestria. | |

Superman: Superman was a baby at the time of his emigration to earth and hardly had a choice in the matter, but still applies, since even after he learns about and accepts his Kryptonian roots, he refuses to define himself as a Kryptonian instead of a human. In Superman Smashes the Klan, Mr. Lee constantly insists that his family speak English and act obediently to the people in downtown Metropolis after moving there from Chinatown. His insistence on being "normal" and living up to positive stereotypes gets him to try to reason with The Klan to stop them from burning his house down. His wife admonishes him for this and tells him in Cantonese, "To Hell with your English!" |

In Red vs. Blue, any Freelancer that spends too long with the Reds and Blues slowly ends up becoming just as wacky as they are eventually and just as prone to pulling antics. It is even more likely if they end up joining them permanently. Agent Washington starts off very annoyed by the Reds and Blues constant bickering and immaturity, but after they save his life and he joins the Blues he slowly mellows out and regains bits of his dorky side from his Freelancer days. Some examples include invoking his authority as a (ex-)Freelancer to give Blue Team a higher kill count than Red Team, tricks Locus in a battle by holding his helmet up by his rifle, and being just as excited about building a water park during retirement as the others. Carolina starts off even more serious than Wash originally did, thinking of the Reds and Blues as useless idiots at best or Cannon Fodder at worst. After joining full time though, she is shown to have a sense of humor following their brief retirement in season 15. She tried to get Grif to teach her how to be lazy like him, joined a band with Grif, Tucker, and Caboose just to see them squirm at her horrible singing voice, and she honestly thought the weirdest thing that happened during their retirement was Wash growing a beard. This also extends to her PSA appearances, such as embracing Grif's label of her being a 'Feminista', and going full Fangirl over Troy Baker and his role as Revolver Ocelot. |

BattleTech: Wolf's Dragoons, a mercenary unit that was, in reality, a scouting party for the Clans from somewhere deep in the Deep Periphery to determine the strength of the Inner Sphere. Eventually, however, most of the Wolf's Dragoons abandoned their original directive and warned the Inner Sphere of the imminent Clan Invasion, known to the Clans as Operation: REVIVAL. Until the Dark Age, at least, long after the Clan Invasion was over, they have continued to serve as a mercenary unit within the Inner Sphere. Ultimately played with, as Natasha Kerensky, the only Dragoon to return to the Clans when the call was sent out for them to do so, revealed that the Dragoons had actually been ordered by the now-dead Khan of Clan Wolf to stay in the Inner Sphere and help them prepare for the invasion. Phelan Kell was a young mercenary who was caught by Clan Wolf during the Clan Invasion and inducted into it, becoming a warrior and ultimately rising all the way to the rank of junior Khan before he took the Clan's warden section and fled to his family's home of Arc Royal, where they set up a Clan Enclave. While he would work closely with his cousin, Victor Steiner-Davion, who was the ruler of the Federated Commonwealth, he considered himself to be culturally part of the Clans and did what he could to preserve their heritage while stopping the aggressive crusader Clans from conquering the Inner Sphere. |

TRON: Endgame Scenario: Zig-Zagged a bit with Jet Bradley. Being mistaken for a game fighter turned security monitor and assimilating to Program customs is a lot less headache than being up front about his User status, especially given how Jet views the whole idea of being worshiped. Even with the Programs who do know what he is, he makes great effort to follow their customs, even when he disagrees with it personally because "your world, your rules." However, he sometimes inverts it with Tron and Yori; Programs do not have the same concept of family as humans do, but Jet can't come up with a better honorific than the User ones of "brother" and "sister." | |

T.E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia; originally sent as an envoy to negotiate an alliance with various Arab leaders, he begins to be more interested in their own revolution than how he can get them to fight for the British. See the Real Life entry. | |

Welcome to Night Vale: The pilot introduces Carlos the Scientist, who has just arrived in the titular town to study its many oddities. While Carlos is initially terrified by sky-high radiation levels, the decay of space-time, and a house that doesn't exist, one year into his residency in Night Vale he comes to terms with the strangeness. Six months after THAT, he's so nonchalant about a sudden suspension of the laws of gravity that he takes it as an opportunity to clean his gutters. In an earlier episode, in-universe explanation for Carlos's new voice actor was that he'd put in new vocal chords in order to prevent throat spiders...and performed the procedure himself. |

What is a promise worth?: This is what happens to Catelyn after Ned dies. In order to cement Robb's claim to Winterfell, she makes sure that all of her children are seen as Northern as possible, and by association, that means she has to be seen as Northern as well. That includes having them pray exclusively in the Godswood (which she often joins them in), making Northern matches for them, and even allowing Arya to take up arms. Eventually, she allows herself to be 'stolen' by Mance Rayder, making her his wife by Wildling tradition — which is about as Northern as you can get in Westeros. By the time that happens, she's assimilated so much into Northern culture that she's more-or-less indistinguishable from any other Northern lady. | |

Empath of Empath: The Luckiest Smurf originally considered himself a Psyche when he was raised in Psychelia since he was brought there by Papa Smurf as an infant. Over the years during his visits to the Smurf Village, he came to identify himself more and more with the Smurfs until, by the time of his release on his 150th birthday, he preferred living as a Smurf than as a Psyche. | |

The titular character from Who Am I? (1998) is the Sole Survivor of a mission in the African wilderness, where he's was rescued by an African Tribe and spends most of the film uncovering his past, looking for all sorts of clues from South Africa to Netherlands. By the time he defeated all the bad guys, though? The first thing he's going to do is returning to Africa. | |

The Maximals in Beast Wars are Mechanical Lifeforms who recently evolved the ability to copy organic life. But by the end of the show, one teammate prefers Earth's organic nature and wants to stay there as a tiger. Also, in Beast Machines, the premise becomes making Cybertron itself techno-organic, which both Megatron and Rhinox are vehemently against. | |

Little Big Man goes native early in the film but he doesn't get to stay that way. He spends the rest of his life bouncing back and forth torn between two cultures that are often at war with each other until his Native American identity is symbolically "killed" when his former childhood friend knocks him unconscious at the battle of the Little Big Horn, sparing his life but effectively expelling him from the tribe. | |

The forum tale Malê Rising had several characters who underwent this: Dietmar Kohler of Sud-Kivu was a ruthless German warlord and carved a piece of the African Great Lakes for himself during the Great War. Before long, he grew to enjoy his new position and created a new state out of his conquests, keeping everyone in check through rewards and harsh punishments and marrying a mestizo Portuguese woman. After he died, his son declared himself king. After the Great War, princess Anastasia Romanvoa was sent into exile along with her family to Eritrea. Unlike her sisters who married European princes to escape Africa, she became enamored with the continent and especially the neighboring Ethiopian Empire. After a long courtship period, she married the Ethiopian Prince Tewodros and became Empress beside him, though it did cause a giant split with her father, the exiled Tsar Alexander. |

Milo, the protagonist of Atlantis: The Lost Empire does this at the end of the film and chooses not to return to the surface with his companions (he's got a pretty sweet gig as interpreter/royal consort for the new queen). They fake his death by telling the authorities that he drowned when the submarine exploded, and they Never Found the Body. | |

Amphibia: Anne Boonchuy starts out understandably reluctant to eat the local cuisine of mostly bugs, but within a month is fine with it, much to her own horror. By season 2, she starts using the local euphemisms. In season 3, she's shown to be so used to an insectivorous diet that the idea that her mother might not appreciate cicada cookies doesn't occur to her. In the first half of season 3, the Plantars end up going to Earth with Anne, where they start adapting to the ways of humans. After returning to Amphibia and displaying human-like characteristics, Sasha notes that being on Earth "made them soft". |

Vegeta of Dragon Ball Z, having nowhere else to go, was practically forced to live on planet Earth for many years. In that time he would eventually admit that he had grown very fond of Earth. A more amusing case of this comes in Dragon Ball Super, where we're shown various other universes in addition to the one the original Dragon Ball is set in. Universe 3 is one where technology reigns supreme, and its Supreme Kai has acclimated so well he comes off more like an eager lab assistant rather than the guardian god he really is. |

Many, many examples in ElfQuest. Leetah becoming a Wolfrider to be with Cutter is the most prominent one. Any of the Sunfolk or Gliders that join the Wolfriders, the Jackwolfriders, or the Forevergreen group count; Suntop taking on a Wavedancer appearance to be with Brill; Shuna (a medieval human) being adopted by Wolfriders; Little Patch, Winnowill, and later Mender exploring human society (since the elves consider humans savages, and vice versa); Lehrigen becoming a woodland stalker to hunt elves; Rayek living as a Go-Back for a while; and last but not least, the Jackwolves living around Sorrow's End mating with the Wolfriders' wolves. Shuna decides to become part of the elf tribe. A few years later, puberty really kicks in and she goes looking for a husband in nearby indigenous human tribes - a whole new world compared to her previous medieval city life. |

Jyu-Oh-Sei draws heavily from this, with the very much civilized lead eventually outdoing the natives of Chimera. But then, he was genetically engineered to be so, which brings up a lot of nature vs. nurture questions. |

There's a short article about going native in the Space 1889 main book which discusses and averts the trope. It was normal in the 18th century, but is no longer acceptable by 1889. A British person is now expected to stay essentially British even in completely different social and physical environments. Mixed marriages are definitely frowned upon. | |

Voltes V: Prince Gohl was born into the Boazanian Royal Family. Unfortunately, he was born without horns, and the Boazanian Fantastic Caste System decrees the Hornless are to be slaves while the Horned are meant to be nobles. After launching multiple failed slave rebellions across the planet, Gohl escapes to Earth, a place where he is free from oppression. He falls in love with the woman who discovered him after his spaceship crashed, Mitsuyo Go, and has three children with her - Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi. He is recalled to Boazania by his cousin, who wants him to manufacture weapons for Boazania, and he even offers him his old position back if he does, but Gohl refuses. As a result, Gohl is imprisoned again, and his sons and wife believe him to be dead. Before he left, Gohl, his wife, Professor Hamaguchi and General Oka designed the titular robot, Voltes V, to defend the Earth in case the Boazanians invade. In the series finale, the Go brothers and Gohl finally reunite when they enter Boazania and host a successful slave rebellion. Much tears are shed. | |
