Sometimes, there are servants who get very attached to the master family, so much that their children follow in their footsteps and continue serving the family's descendants. Hence the reason why there are servants who come from a very long line of faithfully serving their masters. Because of the added familial ties on top of the employer/employee relationship, this is generally presented as a reason for the servant's Undying Loyalty. Common in anime and manga, since 'servant families' were common in Feudal Japan - some of those relationships remain today, if only symbolically, and often pop up to be played for drama, action or romance. Their masters might also have some sort of particular affection for their servants (which the servants can return), leading to relationships such as Heterosexual Life-Partners (or, less common, Platonic Life-Partners or Like Brother and Sister). Such servants are very likely to stick with the master should they ever become an Impoverished Patrician, like the Old Retainer. The servants can take any form, be it a Maid, a Butler, The Igor, the Girl Friday, or the Kindly Housekeeper. Can lead to Bodyguard Crush. Keep in mind, of course, that the trope need not extend merely to servants, and that anything from lawyers to flower girls can be subject to this, too. Note that this trope is about voluntarily serving the same family as your ancestors. It does not describe serfdom where nobles practically owned their servants and peasants for generations, nor does it include Indentured Servitude where multiple generations of a family have to serve a “lord” to work off debt. |

This isn't the first time, either - the Link of Twilight Princess is explicitly a descendant (possibly a grandson/great-grandson) of the Link of Ocarina of Time, and like his ancestor, protects Zelda. It's sometimes implied that at least a few of the other Links are related, through the Identical Grandson thing, though almost all of them (save at least for the Link of The Wind Waker) are reincarnations of the same hero, going back to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, making this a different kind of service legacy. It's also occasionally complicated by the romantic implications between Links and Zeldas, especially with the first Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword, who explicitly founded Hyrule together meaning that if there is a direct line family relationship between the Links, they might also be distant cousins of the Royal Family. | |

In Bleach, the Feng Family is a lesser house that traditionally serves the Shihouin Clan, one of the Four Great Houses of Soul Society, by joining the Onmitsukidou; those who fail the entrance exam are exiled and disowned from the family. Sui-Feng once trained as an apprentice and bodyguard to Yoruichi, but became emotionally invested in her servitude to the point that Yoruichi's abrupt disappearance left her deeply resentful. | |

Honor Harrington: Although it's only in the first/second generation it seems likely that the Clinkscales and LaFollet's will become this for the Harrington clan. In the case of the Clinkscales two generations have served her as Regent and Honor has actually formally adopted the clan as an extended part of the Harrington clan. In the case of the LaFollets at least four members of the clan have served her in various positions (two male members as bodyguards and two female members as maids/advisors). | |

In Harry Potter, house-elves seem to serve one family or household from generation to generation, unless they're freed (we never see any living related house-elves, but presumably all of Kreacher's ancestors served the Blacks as well). | |

In Amaranthine Saga, the Reavers attached to Stately House has formed into a generational pattern, with Michael being the fourth Ward from his family to serve Argent. This seems to be a fairly common practice with Reavers attached to various Amaranthine enclaves and clan houses, probably because it makes it slightly easier for the long-lived Amaranthine to form bonds within the fleeting existences of their Reaver companions. | |

According to supplementary material in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Hayasaka's family has served the Shinomiyas for generations and have earned their trust. She has served as Kaguya's valet since they were both seven. The two of them are very close to each other as a result (to the point that they consider themselves sisters) and their bond is the only thing that Kaguya considers more important than her crush on Shirogane. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Sheikah of Ocarina of Time has ever been faithful to the Royal Family of Hyrule, and has served them for generations as retainers, with Impa being the latest in a long line. We see the beginning of this in Skyward Sword, with one of the first Impa's serving and protecting Zelda - though originally, and explaining why they serve Zelda specifically and the Royal Family in general, it's revealed that they served the Goddess Hylia, who took mortal form as Zelda and was reincarnated in her many descendants. While not outright stated in The Wind Waker, a number of hints suggest that Tetra's pirate crew has been loyal to her family for quite some time. In particular, there's a portrait in Hyrule Castle of the pirates' near-identical ancestors serving as Princess Zelda's retainers. Alfonzo from Spirit Tracks was once a member of New Hyrule's castle guard, his family having served the royal family for generations. Given that he's a descendant of Gonzo, who was Tetra's first mate, this legacy of service has lasted through two different iterations of the Kingdom of Hyrule, plus the lengthy interregnum in between. Link himself in Breath of the Wild comes from a line of knights, with his father having been a member of the royal guard. This isn't the first time, either - the Link of Twilight Princess is explicitly a descendant (possibly a grandson/great-grandson) of the Link of Ocarina of Time, and like his ancestor, protects Zelda. It's sometimes implied that at least a few of the other Links are related, through the Identical Grandson thing, though almost all of them (save at least for the Link of The Wind Waker) are reincarnations of the same hero, going back to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, making this a different kind of service legacy. It's also occasionally complicated by the romantic implications between Links and Zeldas, especially with the first Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword, who explicitly founded Hyrule together meaning that if there is a direct line family relationship between the Links, they might also be distant cousins of the Royal Family. |

Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden has two examples: The Wakaosa clan has been serving Uruki's mother's side of the family for generations, which is vital when a prophecy states that Uruki is destined to kill his father ; when that's revealed, Uruki's mom entrusts baby Uruki to the then-leader Tauru Wakaosa, who raised him in her name until his own death; from then on, Tauru's son Soruen became young Uruki's Big Brother Mentor. One of the Genbu Senshi, Inami, was the daughter of a Lady-In-Waiting in the Hokkan Royal Palace and worked as a maid girl in the court too. It was not until the event of The Evil Prince Tegiru overthrowing the legitimate heir Temudan that she needed to flee the palace due to her husband being labeled as part of Temudan's army. |

Batman: The original story for Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, whose father, Jarvis, had been Thomas Wayne's butler. This particular version of Alfred was canon until Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, which established that Alfred had himself been Thomas Wayne's butler/valet, and had worked for the Wayne family since before Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed. Night of the Owls reveals that Alfred's father had hoped to dissuade him from following in his footsteps. Another comic indicates that Alfred only intended to stay with the Waynes to fill in for his deceased father until they could find someone else. He decided to stay after learning young Bruce was being bullied and bonded with the kid while teaching him self-defense. Alfred's daughter Julia has also worked for Bruce Wayne, taking over her father's role when he can't - though only his Voice with an Internet Connection duties, |

Girl Genius has two such families named so far: Violetta is a member of a family of Smoke Knights who have served Tarvek Sturmvoraus's family for generations (her family being a somewhat lower-ranking branch of his). The Von Mekkhan family has been serving the Heterodynes for generations as their Senechals, essentially family retainers who help maintain the Castle. To one extent or another, most of Mechanicsburg has a family history of serving the Heterodynes. Played for Laughs with the kid from a family of hereditary grave robbers. |

We see the beginning of this in Skyward Sword, with one of the first Impa's serving and protecting Zelda - though originally, and explaining why they serve Zelda specifically and the Royal Family in general, it's revealed that they served the Goddess Hylia, who took mortal form as Zelda and was reincarnated in her many descendants. | |

In Forrest Gump, Bubba's family has apparently been in service for at least a century. The montage which shows different generations serving seems to imply that they are serving different generations of the same family. In this case, it's treated as a bad thing, since their service originated during the time of slavery. This would be inverted when Forrest gave Bubba's mother what he felt was Bubba's share of his shrimp venture: she was now rich enough to afford a servant of her own. | |

A Blackadder always seems to end up with a Baldrick as a servant or something or other regardless of his status. What's interesting about this is that we actually see the bond being formed in the first episode, something we don't usually see in other examples of this trope. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Ishtar family has been serving the Pharaoh for thousands of years, most of that living in an underground labyrinth protecting his tomb. Resentment over this is a huge part of what fuels Marik's Start of Darkness. | |

The Infernal Devices: Thomas and Cyril Tanner come from a long line of people who've had a touch of the Sight, which is required for servants of the Nephilim. Needless to say, their family's been serving the Institute for a while. Bridget Daly's family has served the Nephilim for generations. |

Alfonzo from Spirit Tracks was once a member of New Hyrule's castle guard, his family having served the royal family for generations. Given that he's a descendant of Gonzo, who was Tetra's first mate, this legacy of service has lasted through two different iterations of the Kingdom of Hyrule, plus the lengthy interregnum in between. | |

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, House Vestra has served the Imperial royal family for generations. Hubert is the scion of his family and swears complete and utter loyalty to the Empire's princess, Edelgard, though he makes a point that his loyalty to her is personal and not simply due to said legacy. His father's betrayal of said legacy when he sided with the Imperial nobles against Edelgard's father Ionius (and in turn set off a chain of events that lead to Edelgard suffering horrific experimentation and trauma) is why Hubert utterly loathes him and sees to the Marquis Vestra's death personally when Edelgard takes power. | |

The Butler family in Artemis Fowl has been serving the Fowl family for a long time (the earliest recorded relationship between the two families dates back to the Third Crusade). The first book posits the theory that this is actually where the word "butler" came from. | |
