Maybe it's because Most Writers Are Male, but when a character has a legacy of royalty, villainy or heroics, it tends to come from the father. The implicit assumption is that if a character is going to inherit something of relevance from their bloodline, it's going to be from their father's side, never their mother's. This is applied to both sons and daughters. This is often paired with Single Line of Descent, creating a long line of fathers and sons. Compare the similar trope Never a Self-Made Woman, where important female characters ultimately owe their positions or talents to men. It may be an In-Universe reason why Nature Adores a Virgin, and why My Girl Is Not a Slut, especially if the Daddy DNA Test does not exist and neither does much in the way of reliable birth control. The idea is that it's important to know whose kids are whose, and therefore, it's important that one's wife never have slept with anyone else, usually tied to an even bigger concept that Men Act, Women Are. If the matter in question is legal inheritance, you're looking at its sister trope Heir Club for Men. Lineage Comes From The Father is concerned with the less traditional "inheritance"—for example, villainy or heroics, rather than a title or money. The prevalence of this trope is such that most examples will be subversions. In the case of a Matriarchy or otherwise matrilineal society, this trope is automatically Gender-Inverted. A Super-Trope to Gender Equals Breed, though in that trope, the daughter takes after the mother instead. Frequently overlaps with I Am X, Son of Y, when "Y" refers to the father instead of the mother. Compare Ridiculously Long-lived Family Name. |

In Dragon Age, played with a few different ways: Dwarves play this straight 50% of the time, with the recognized lineage and caste of a child being determined by that of their same-sex parent. This means that you could have opposite sex full siblings of completely different castes. In the novels this is inverted by (eventual) King Maric, whose mother Queen Moira Theirin was an unparalleled badass both on the field and behind the scenes. Maric's biggest struggle is living up to her legacy. Maric's father by comparison gets very little focus and was mostly important because he was related to the Teyrn of Gwaren. Moira was also Queen Regnant in relation to her husband, the Prince Consort. Played straight by Maric's own offspring, though. The City Elf is said to take more after their willful mother than their father. Inverted and... uh... played straight in Dragon Age II? Considering Hawke's father sort of created his own legacy (and we don't even know his past too well before he ever met Leandra, but it's implied to be not very pleasant) by aiding the Wardens, that's the straight part. The inversion would stem from Leandra's side of the family, the Amell lineage, which is noble. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, this is the reason which Grand Duke Gaspard blames for the fact that his cousin Celene, the youngest of Emperor Judicael I's six grandchildren, was able to take the throne of Orlais. Judicael's three eldest grandchildren died in their youth, and Gaspard (the only surviving grandson) was raised with the expectation that he would one day be Emperor; however, his royal parent is his mother, Princess Melisande. Celene, on the other hand, is Judicael's granddaughter through her father, Prince Reynaud. There were other factors involved in Celene taking the throne, but this trope was likely a contributor. Inverted in the case of Andraste's theorized descendants. Andraste had two daughters, and the younger one had many daughters herself, who then married into various Tevinter families, which use patrilineal naming traditions. Unfortunately, the records of these and subsequent marriages were lost in the second Blight. The Chantry believes that Andraste's bloodline is only capable of producing daughters, so a man, or anyone claiming to be descended from Andraste through their father's side, is automatically disqualified. |

Double subverted in the case of Rachel Summers. Rachel inherited her mother's powers, but she is eventually more powerful than Jean Grey thanks to her father Cyclops' genes. The same goes for her brothers, Nate Grey and Cable - while they look more like their father and inherit his chessmaster tendencies, their powers and most fundamental personalities come from their mother. | |

X-Men: Gender-Inverted in the case of Ororo Munroe/Storm. Her powers over magic and the weather are specifically said to be passed from mother to daughter every few generations, to the point where only women can rule her mother's native tribe and she is in fact its rightful heiress, causing some resentment by her uncle, who felt left out. Double subverted in the case of Rachel Summers. Rachel inherited her mother's powers, but she is eventually more powerful than Jean Grey thanks to her father Cyclops' genes. The same goes for her brothers, Nate Grey and Cable - while they look more like their father and inherit his chessmaster tendencies, their powers and most fundamental personalities come from their mother. Invoked by the Facility with another X-Men character, Laura Kinney, a.k.a. X-23. She's an Opposite-Sex Clone of Wolverine deliberately created to continue the Weapon X experiments, and therefore shares his mutation. She got her looks from her mother. |

Bleach initially plays this straight with the main protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, whose spiritual awareness and successful transition into a Shinigami are attributed to the powers he inherited from his Shinigami father, Isshin, while his mother was a normal human whose sole importance is to perform Heroic Sacrifice to protect her son. Then we learn in the final arc that Masaki was actually a powerful Quincy. All this time, whenever Ichigo tapped his "Shinigami" power, it's actually Quincy power. Ichigo has never used his Shinigami power, because he always unwittingly suppressed it; the "Hollow Ichigo" is Zangetsu, while the long-haired "Zangetsu" is his Quincy heritage manifesting in the form of Yhwach. | |

In Apparatus Infernum, society tends to believe this, which creates a plot-relevant blind spot that hinders the protagonists. They'd like to track down descendants of a certain noble House, but the official records only concern themselves with the patrilineal line — and because that line came to an end, the House is considered extinct. In fact, if you count descent from women of the House in question who married into other Houses, descendants are still quite present — just under other names. | |

Numerous forms in Crusader Kings, depending on specific inheritance laws. For the purposes of continuing the game by bloodline, it's pure male-line. In vanilla, women cannot inherit but under Semisalic inheritance laws, the son of a king's first daughter will inherit over son of a younger son. The sequel takes some measures to avert this, introducing succession laws that allow females to inherit titles under specific circumstances as well as matrilineal marriages, in which the children are considered part of the mother's dynasty rather than the father's. | |

The Fire Emblem series features three (thus far) games with parent-child mechanics, all of them fairly similar despite the radically different approaches to all of them. It plays with this trope in various ways: For Genealogy, mothers have two children each, all with fixed classes, and their skill sets, weapons and Holy Blood can change depending on who their father is. Because of the fixed classes and limited amount of first gen units with holy blood, the second generation can either be a small army of horrendously broken Game Breakers or incredibly weak. The exceptions to this rule are Seliph (son of first-gen Lord Sigurd and Dierdre), siblings Altenna and Leif (the children of Cuan and Ethlyn), Julia (daughter of half-siblings Arvis and Dierdre), and Ares (son of Optional Boss Eldigan and his NPC wife Grahnye), as they are the product of fixed pairings, although Julia's abilities are drawn from her mother. The Sniper Faval is a prominent example, as he inherits his major Ulir blood, and the holy bow Yewfelle, from his mother Briggid. Awakening has said kids tied to mothers again. Both parents lend one reclassing option each and one skill each, with the father lending their hair color to the kids this time. The exceptions are Lucina (daughter of Chrom) and a female Morgan (daughter of a male Avatar). Due to the inflated stat caps, customizable growths, and the potential to pass down gender-exclusive skills to the children, the second generation in this game is arguably an even bigger Game-Breaker than Genealogy. Fire Emblem Fates plays this straight: while the mechanics for children are the same as Awakening for the most part, the children are all tied to their fathers this time, with the exceptions being a male Kana (son of a female Avatar) and Shigure (son of Azura). While unique class combinations can be passed down (namely the Avatar's Nohr Prince/Princess class and its promotions), this game's second generation is more on par with the first due to a lack of gender-exclusive skills and the children actually having their own growths that are only subtly influenced by whatever mother is chosen for each kid. |

The Chronicles of Prydain: Downplayed. Men trace their ancestry through their father's line, but women trace theirs through their mother's. This is reflected in their patronymic and matronymic naming schemes; characters in the story include Llonio son of Llonwen, Math son of Mathonwy, and Princess Eilonwy daughter of Angharad daughter of Regat of the Royal House of Llyr. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "Lisa The Simpson" reveals that the Simpson men have a "gene" that causes a large decrease in intelligence, while the women are smart and successful. In the episode "The Color Yellow," while making a family tree for school, Lisa is horrified that she can't find a single good ancestor, and that she comes from "a long line of horse thieves, deadbeats, horse beats, dead thieves." However she only looks at her father's side of the family. Despite her desperation to find a "decent ancestor," she doesn't seem to have looked at her mother's family at all. |

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow deals with five kids who are the children of the now-deceased Avengers. For three of them, the mother's identity is not even statednote Though Word of God says that Francis' mom is Mockingbird, while fans assume that Azani's mom is Storm, due to his electrical powers. Her exclusion can possibly be blamed on legal issues.; we know that James' mom was Black Widow, but a lot more focus is put on his father, Captain America. The only Aversion is Pym: he became a Legacy Character for his mom, the Wasp, though we do know that his dad was Giant-Man (and he has both parents' powers). | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Subverted with Nanoha. Her status as a fighter clearly comes from her father's side of the family, but what actually defines her as a person comes from her mother. Inverted with Ginga and Subaru. Despite having been raised by their father, almost everything about them came from their late mother, including their fighting style, weapons, and looks. Even their genetics came exclusively from her. |

Naruto: Subverted. It becomes really clear, really early on that Naruto's father is the village hero, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. However, it turns out that the one whom Naruto really got all the important stuff from was his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto being her child is emphasized far more by the characters and the story itself. The focus on the importance of a mother's legacy becomes even more prevalent with the Sage of the Six Paths and his brother Hamura, who also gained their power from their mother, Princess Kaguya, the strongest person to have every lived. Unlike Kushina Uzumaki, she isn't the type of mother you would be proud of. | |

Wonder Woman was originally an intentional subversion of this idea: her mother is Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, while her father's identity was treated as irrelevant; her 1987 reboot explicitly stated that she had no father, having been sculpted by clay by Hippolyta and given life by the gods. Wonder Woman (2011) then Ret Conned her into being the daughter of Zeus. This is controversial for a few reasons, including the perceived subversion of the franchise's feminist themes. | |

Attack on Titan plays this straight, and Gender-Inverts it on several occasions. Mikasa's heritage zigzags this all over the place, with it ultimately proven that both her parents passed something significant on to her. Her superhuman abilities come from her father's heritage, while the "East Sea Clan" that her mother was descended from turn out to be major players on the world stage. Gender-Inverted with Levi, who turns out to be the Son of a Whore and inherited the superhuman abilities of the Ackerman clan from his late mother. That said, we don't yet know if his father is anyone of importance. Royal blood, and the unique heritage it entails, is passed down with no regards for gender. One case, Historia Reiss plays this trope straight, while the case of Zeke Yeager is a Gender-Inversion. The founding of the royal line itself is a zig-zagged version. while the first known ruler of Eldia was a male, the first King Fritz, it was through his concubine, Ymir Fritz, that the power of the Titans entered the royal line and she passed the power unto her three daughters. Reiner Braun is another case that Gender-Inverts this trope. A mixed-race child, his mother's Eldian blood is what allows him to use the power of the Titans. This seems to be the case with any Eldian: so long as they have Eldian blood to some extent they're able to become Titans, whether it be mindless Titans or shifters. It's also implied that this applies to other powers in the series, such as the aforementioned Ackermans. It's the blood itself that matters, not which side of the family it comes from. |

Tin Man follows the Oz books in inverting the trope, at least in regard to the royal family. The Queen holds the authority, and it's passed along to her daughters. Ahamo, the Queen's consort and girls' father, was a carny that lucked out and landed in Oz when his balloon went off course in a storm. It's unknown whether this extends to commoner families like the Cains. | |

Played straight in The Dresden Files. All of the royal family of White Court vampires were born from human mothers and got the vampirism from Lord Raith. Inverted for the main character himself, whose mother has so far been more important to the story than his father. This is because magic is almost always passed along matrilineal lines (it has to do with exposure to magic prior to birth — a child whose father has a talent for magic might have the genes for it, but they'll probably be dormant). Though since Harry's mother died in childbirth, his father Malcolm's kind and naïve nature was a major influence on Harry's personality. | |

In Supernatural it first looks as if this trope is played straight. Dean and Sam Winchester are two hunters of the supernatural, presumably because their father their father raised them that way. But later it turns out that it is actually a subverted trope. In actuality, their mother's side of the family produced generations of Hunters, while there father's side, with the exception of John, Sam, and Dean, themselves, produced scholars of the supernatural world, who called themselves "Men of Letters". Hunters and Men of Letters worked together to control the things that go bump in the night, making Sam and Dean the perfect amalgamation of the two. | |

In The Shannara Chronicles this trope is played very strong. The young half-elf Will is the son of a male elf and a human female. When he experienced his adventures, he hears again and again that his father was a powerful wizard and a great hero who has achieved much good. Constantly he is prompted as to be a hero, as his father was one. From his mother you do not hear much after the first episode. You do not even learn her name. Later in the story, there is also another half-elf, a young girl who also had an elf as father and a human as mother. | |

Kushiel's Legacy series: Played with; Terre d'Ange's monarchy passes patrilineally, but the king at the time of the books has one granddaughter, who proceeds to have two daughters of her own. Meanwhile, in Alba, inheritance passes from uncle to nephew, although this is later revealed to be motivated by the male rulers not trusting that their wives' sons are actually theirs, and preserving the lineage through their sisters. Meanwhile Imriel's significant lineage comes from both sides of his family. | |

Inuyasha: Inuyasha's supernatural powers and youkai inheritance comes from his father. Even his compassion for humans is stated to be from, thus making him like, his father (later reinforced by his full-youkai brother's growing compassion also being stated as coming from, and making him like, their father). In fact, there are three half-breeds who had a human mother, gain all their abilities from their father's side and had a father whose compassion towards humans essentially overshadows any contribution any of the mothers could have made even on this front. Though subverted with Izumo/Gyo-Oh, a half-demon whose father was human and his mother was a bull demon. He inherited his philosopher-like intellect (and the name Izumo for his human form) from his father's side, and his monstrous evil tendencies from his mother. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon: Played straight with Towa and Setsuna, who got their special powers from their demonic father Sesshomaru. In particular, Towa uses Soryuha, the sword attack Sesshomaru was known for when he had T�kijin (it should be noted, however, that Towa, despite her biological relationship, considers Sota Higurashi to be her real father for raising her). Zigzagged with Moroha. She is a sword fighter like her father. And she uses the same demon powers as he does, like the Sankon Tesso and the Hijin Kesso. But at the same time she also fights with a bow and arrow and with spiritual powers, like her mother. |

Young Avengers' member, Hulkling is a complicated case. He's the biological son of the deceased Kree superhero Captain Marvel and the (also deceased) Skrull Princess Anelle. Both sides of the Kree-Skrull war claim that the parent of their race is more important in determining Hulkling's role in life. Kl'rt the Super Skrull goes to desperate lengths to convince Hulkling to make a play at reuniting the Skrull Empire. A Kree officer also tries to conscript Hulkling into the Kree army by saying that because his father was Kree, he is Kree. Hulkling eventually rejects both roles since he understandably doesn't want to have any part in the insane genocidal conflict and already has a life on Earth. Power-wise, his parents are equally important: the combination of Super-Strength from his father and Shapeshifting from his mother is what helps him look like a Hulk Legacy Hero even though he's not really a Gamma mutate. | |

Momentary Weakness: Played with. Rex has three children with three different women (and they're all biologically the children of all four of them); Rex is the legendary Master Driver and Paragon of the world, and two of his wives are the legendary Aegises, the Master Blades who control all others. But most of the plot revolves around what the children have inherited from the third wife, who is "merely" a powerful Blade who ended up queen because of a legal loophole that meant she was the only one who already had a noble title. The entire family uses the queen's surname, Rex and the other wives are prince and princesses rather than king and queens, and the kids explicitly inherited their authority from her. They did receive plenty of advantages from their other parents, it's just that all their legal advantages flow from the queen. | |

Fire Emblem Fates plays this straight: while the mechanics for children are the same as Awakening for the most part, the children are all tied to their fathers this time, with the exceptions being a male Kana (son of a female Avatar) and Shigure (son of Azura). While unique class combinations can be passed down (namely the Avatar's Nohr Prince/Princess class and its promotions), this game's second generation is more on par with the first due to a lack of gender-exclusive skills and the children actually having their own growths that are only subtly influenced by whatever mother is chosen for each kid. | |

A Brother's Price takes place in a world ruled by women. A court case involving inheritance comes up, and the three families jockeying for the title each have similarly dubious claims, one being that they're descended from one of the deceased family's men. Here's what's said on an unrelated character's birth certificate. Alannon and his uncertified ancestry do end up being important, but lineage does not pass down through him. |

Hanzo's son however was murdered on the same day Hanzo was condemned to Netherrelm, meaning Cole Young's tether to his legendary ancestor instead comes from Hanzo's daughter. | |

Zigzagged with Jin Kazama. Despite inheriting his mother's surname, his paternal Mishima lineage is far more emphasized on; he inherited Kazuya's Devil Gene, while seemingly not inheriting Jun's spiritual qualities. His initial movelist in his debut game is also 90% Mishima Karate, although he does have a handful of Kazama moves. This is played up in Tekken 8, where Jin's struggle to reconcile his Mishima and Kazama bloodlines is a major plot point in the story. It is revealed that Jin actually does have the Kazama's purification powers, although they are buried deep within his mind, thanks to the Devil Gene. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In general, Avatar and its successor The Legend of Korra do a lot to subvert this trope, with characters taking a lot of traits from both parents. An Inversion would be Chief Lin Beifong, who takes very strongly after her mother (and we don't even know who her father was). The Beifong family in general. Book Three reveals that Toph's younger daughter, Lin's half-sister Suyin, would go on to found an entire city, on the foundation of metalbending. To top it off, it's outright stated that it is THE most prosperous city in the Earth Kingdom, serving as beacon of progression to most of the world. All of Su's children are successful in their own rights, including her daughter Opal, a nonbender who gained airbending as a result of Harmonic Convergence. And just like Lin, Su doesn't know her father either, all but stating that the two are Heroic Bastards. In the original series, Zuko is a titch obsessed with living up to his role as 'Prince of the Fire Nation', and his place in the grand lineage of Firelords. In the episode "The Avatar and the Firelord", he's confused that the story he's told about the titular pair of friends-become-rivals doesn't reveal the promised secrets about his great-grandfather, until Iroh reveals that the great-grandfather in question was not Firelord Sozin, but Avatar Roku, on his mother's side. By the time of The Legend of Korra, Zuko's own daughter, Firelord Izumi (who's probably an only child), has inherited the throne from him. Her son, the crown prince Iroh II , shows up a handful of times throughout LOK so he will inevitably subvert this trope. Izumi was confirmed to have a daughter as well via supplemental material but she's never once seen or mentioned in the series itself. It's not explicitly clear but Izumi's daughter is probably just younger than her son and wasn't passed over for being next in line for being a girl. Aang and Katara's children play with this. Bumi is a nonbender (only becoming an airbender later on), but Kya is a waterbender like her mother and Tenzin is an airbender like his father. Tenzin also has a personally much closer to his mother, being overly serious and quick to anger. |

Played with in Mass Effect. The asari are a monogendered race, and though they can (and often do) reproduce with other species, the resulting child is always asari. However, many asari are also judged based on their father's species, with the lowest tier being those who were fathered by other asari. The game goes back and forth in general: Ashley Williams joined the military in part because of her grandfather's legacy though she also mentions a great-grandmother who was in the military; Commander Shepard, if the Spacer background is chosen, speaks with his/her mother, who is also a military officer; Miranda Lawson has no mother, being a genetically modified clone of her father with a few bits thrown in; and many krogan proudly claim descent from Shiagur, a female krogan warlord. | |

Tortall Universe: This trope is played with in the Trickster's Duet. Luarin kings follow Heir Club for Men, but the native raka royalty runs through the mother's line and they explicitly have queens instead of kings. Aly, The Protagonist for this series, is clearly her father's daughter because she is a Guile Hero spy like him instead of an Action Hero knight like her mother. | |

The Scholomance: Played with. While El's strong moral character comes from her mother, the person she physically resembles the most is her father. In addition, most of her motivations and desires are inherited from Arjun, who had dreamed of restoring the Golden Enclaves since he was a child. El is the literal embodiment of that dream, thanks to Arjun voicing it to the universe in hopes of making it a reality, and the universe granting his wish by allowing his daughter to be conceived and gifted with the power to build the Golden Enclaves in his place. The payment it took in return was Arjun's life, which he freely gave to save El and her mother from Patience on the day of his graduation from the Scholomance. | |

In Gunnerkrigg Court, Antimony Carver's father is missing by the start of the story and her mother has just passed away, and as the story unfolds and we learn more about her parents it becomes obvious that Antimony got the really important things from her mother, including, it turns out, her fire elemental ancestry and her Life Energy, which is passed from mother to child. | |

The Wicked Years: Gender-Inverted. The throne of Oz appears to be passed by matrilineal succession, and Liir ends up picking up where his mother left off with his father barely a passing mention. It may be strong enough to be an outright inversion, especially considering that Melena Thropp's oldest daughter was not fathered by her husband, and her younger daughter Nessarose and son Shell might have been, but no one cared. Melena's children inherit the title of Eminent Thropp from her. Their legal father was an always-broke itinerant preacher. Glinda introduces herself by her mother's clan, with her surname only being revealed after the musical gave her a surname. | |

Played with due to having more generations in between, and gender-inverted in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Satele Shan is the descendant of Bastila and Revan, but she mainly takes on the traits of her great-great-etc.-mother Bastila. She also bears Bastila's last name. Then again, we never learn Revan's (if he even had one). Besides, Bastila raised their son Vaner (note the anagram name) alone, as Revan had to leave for the Unknown Regions and never came back. Satele's secret son Theron also bears her last name, but that's partly due to his father Colonel Jace Malcom not knowing of his existence until later. | |

Played with in Far Cry 4, since while The Golden Path repeatedly emphasizes that protagonist Ajay is the son of their deceased leader Mohan Ghale and refer to him as such, Pagan Min clearly cares more about the fact that Ajay is his mother Ishwari's son and seemingly doesn't care at all about Mohan being his father despite the fact that the two men were enemies. At the end of the game it's revealed Pagan has actually named Ajay his heir since Ishwari was the closest thing he had to a queen, and Min's own daughter with Ishwari, Lakshmana, was murdered as a baby by Mohan. | |

Played with with Jesus' lineage. Jewish society played this trope straight, so how could God have Jesus be both biological descendant and legal heir of King David when he has no biological human father? A popular interpretation is that the genealogy presented in Luke is actually through Mary (with the different fathers listed for Joseph being justified as Heli being his father-in-law), meaning both Joseph and Mary can claim to be descendants of the royal line of Judah, making Jesus both a biological descendant of the royal line via Mary and its legal heir via his adoptive father Joseph, who is a direct male descendant of the royal line. | |

Girl Genius: An aversion with Tarvek, who claims to be the Storm King's heir from his mother. "If the stories are true, half of Europa..." — the catch is that he's a descendant with traceable genealogy whom other royals will recognize as such. And indirectly confirmed by having more Mad Scientist talent than his father who himself was "a major player" in this department. Then there's Agatha herself, the last living descendant (so far as we know, anyway) of a powerful family of Sparks. Her family's castle wants her to set about producing some heirs, so we know that the line can proceed matrilineally. |

His father is briefly seen as a corpse, and his fight with Annie's father ending in a Mutual Kill is what led to Annie and Dog banding together and becoming close, whereas nothing is known about Dog's mother (if he even has one, considering that most if not all Titans are an ultraterrestrial form of life originating from the Hollow Earth). |

In Hush, Hush, the only reason Nora's important is because her dad's side of the family was descended from Patch's Nephil slave, making her a suitable sacrifice to make him human. This is doubly so in the later books, where it's revealed that her dad wasn't actual her biological father. Her biological father not only was the Nephil slave she could be sacrificed to kill, but he was also the leader of a Nephilim army and wants her to be his successor. This, in turn, is the main reason she's important in Finale - the army wants her to lead them to victory. | |

Sadako Yamamura from The Ring averts this at first, as her powers are stated to be a genetic inheritance from her psychic mother, Shizuko. In Ring 0: Birthday, however, Sadako's adoptive father confirms that Sadako also inherited "something" from her biological father, who may have been some kind of a sea god. The implication is that her harmless ESP powers came from Shizuko, but her eldritch killing-people-in-seven-days curse came from her father. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Westerosi inheritance law plays Heir Club for Men dead straight, though other societies (notably Dorne) have variations on the rule — see that trope for details. Lineage Comes From The Father is frequently played straight by characters as well, with famous ancestors and prophesied descendants almost always being men. However, this society-wide focus on the male line of descent obscures some interesting subtext hidden in the infamous family trees. Many major houses have historically married the daughters of defeated enemies, and when these defeated enemies have names like "the Warg King", we start to see hints for where families like the Starks and Targaryens get their magical abilities from — if a couple of fairytales are true, the Starks may even have the blood of the Others in their veins. Just like magic itself, which is poorly understood because the maesters don't like to keep records of it, magical bloodlines may be overlooked because nobody's been keeping track of the daughters. There is one notable aversion, however. The only reason Robert Baratheon is king at the start of the series, and his brothers Stannis and Renly are candidates for the Iron Throne, is because their paternal grandmother was a Targaryen princess (Rhaelle). The maesters justified Robert's Rebellion on this basis alone, since Aerys II wasn't technically deposed but "replaced" by another Targaryen descendant. The fact that Robert's "legitimate children", Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, were actually conceived by his wife Cersei out of wedlock means that they should automatically lose their birthright, because they are not part-Targaryen - so she and her family maintain that this is slander, of course. This is also the reason why Robb Stark chooses to Take a Third Option and declare himself King in the North as an independent territory, since as a vassal of the crown he wouldn't be allowed to contest the Iron Throne and would have to support either Joffrey (who had Robb's father unjustly executed), Stannis (the elder of Robert's two younger brothers; the next legitimate heir but with the smallest army) or Renly (Robert's youngest brother; with a much larger force than Stannis's but no right to the throne other than just plain wanting it). In general this is subverted with the regime in King's Landing under Joffrey, since although his surname is Baratheon it is his mother's House, the Lannisters, who are firmly in control, with his grandfather Lord Tywin as The Man Behind the Man. They don't make much secret of it either, strewing Lannister colors and banners all over the place with secondary importance given to the heraldry of Joffrey's (ostensible) father's House. Of course, as his biological father is Queen Cersei's twin brother Ser Jaime, Joffrey is pure Lannister, but even Joffrey isn't supposed to know that. Subverted tragically with Quentyn Martell. After being spurned by Daenerys Targaryen, he comes to a realization that since he is descended from a Targaryen princess (also named Daenerys), he might have inherited their control over dragons. So he enters the dragonpit to steal Rhaegal and Viserion. Bad mistake. |

Tekken: Zigzagged with Jin Kazama. Despite inheriting his mother's surname, his paternal Mishima lineage is far more emphasized on; he inherited Kazuya's Devil Gene, while seemingly not inheriting Jun's spiritual qualities. His initial movelist in his debut game is also 90% Mishima Karate, although he does have a handful of Kazama moves. This is played up in Tekken 8, where Jin's struggle to reconcile his Mishima and Kazama bloodlines is a major plot point in the story. It is revealed that Jin actually does have the Kazama's purification powers, although they are buried deep within his mind, thanks to the Devil Gene. Subverted with the Devil Gene. While Jin got it from his father, in both times it was introduced to the Mishima family, they were through women: Kazumi Hachijo (Kazuya's mother), and Reina's unnamed mother. Lars Alexandersson's background as Heihachi's son takes precedence over his maternal Swedish parentage to the point that we do not even know his mother's name, even though his blond hair and blue eyes presumably came from her. Averted with Kunimitsu II as she gets most of her techniques and traits from her mother whereas what she gained from her father is barely touched upon despite him also being a fellow ninja. |

Code Geass: Emperor Charles Zi Britannia has fathered hundreds of children, from multiple wives. Every kid is at least a half brother or half sister to each other since they all have only one father, and a bunch of them are line to take over as the ruler of Britannia. Most of them are backups, in case something happens to the first three or so "sets" of sons and daughters. Even Lelouch is nowhere near in position to inherit the throne (17th in line at the beginning). Subverted by the protagonist himself and his sister though since they mostly take after their mother and choose to use her maiden name as their surname instead of making an alias after leaving the royal family. At least one of Lelouch's allies goes out of their way to emphasize that they are only helping him because of who his mother was. Even the reason that he and Nunnally are actually his father's favorite children comes from her, as their mother is the only woman Charles has ever loved. | |

A popular interpretation is that the genealogy presented in Luke is actually through Mary (with the different fathers listed for Joseph being justified as Heli being his father-in-law), meaning both Joseph and Mary can claim to be descendants of the royal line of Judah, making Jesus both a biological descendant of the royal line via Mary and its legal heir via his adoptive father Joseph, who is a direct male descendant of the royal line. In the Torah, a lot of lineages are (in painful detail and length) detailed—but usually only on the male line. Sometimes the mothers along the way are also mentioned, but they're never recursed onto like the men. Interestingly, despite naming lineages by the men, one's "Jewishness" was passed through the mother. Hence a Shiksa Goddess is considered to be a more serious temptation than a non-Jewish man: if a woman marries outside the faith, her children are still Jewish by birth, but if a man does it, the children are not. |

Mothers don't appear at all (and are barely mentioned) in the Jak and Daxter games, and as such this trope is in full effect. Ashelin is Baron Praxis' daughter, and takes over as ruler of Haven City when he dies. Jak is descended from the ancient hero Mar through his father, who also happens to be the great warrior Damas, former ruler of Haven. Rayn is the daughter of the crime boss Krew, and stands to take over his criminal empire... which she only just learned was a thing. Except not really. She was in on his plot to eliminate their rival crime family the whole time. Even minor characters Ximon and Mizo have this to an extent: Ximon works for his father in the pest control business (which has been in the family since his great-grandfather founded it), and Mizo got into racing because of his father's obsession with it. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Implied with the royal family of Khazad-dum. King Durin the III specifies that each dwarven king receives all the combined experiences of his predecessors in his mind, and indeed all the previous monarchs were males. Disa herself wants to make sure that her husband, and not his brother, gets to pass the tradition further. | |

The Courtship of Princess Leia: Inverted for the Hapans and Dathomiri. As matriarchal societies, both don't count males for inheritance. Thus Isolder is Crown Prince through his mother, but cannot become king, although his wife will succeed her as queen. Very similarly, Teneniel's mother is the queen of the Singing Mountain Clan and she's also the heir (her father is not mentioned at all). Dathomiri Force sensitivity is also a solely female trait, as no one had ever seen a "male witch" until Luke, although they heard of them. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Giorno Giovanna and Jolyne Cujoh are the children of DIO and Jotaro respectively, and have the same Kiai as their fathers. Both of their mothers are much less important to the story and neither of them even have a name. Zigzagged with Joestar bloodline overall. While the JoJo legacy carried forward is that of the male Jonathan Joestar, the lineage is passed down to Part 3 protagonist Jotaro by his mother, Holly. |

Game of Thrones: Since Jon's mother is missing and her identity is totally unknown by most people (including him), a great deal more emphasis is put on Jon's Stark lineage because despite being the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, he's the kid who echoes Ned the most and looks the most like him, he spent his life in the North entrenched by its ways and customs, and is the least influenced by Catelyn's southern ways since he's her unfavourite. This is even a plot point by the end of Season 6 when the Northern lords are willing to overlook his illegitimacy and name him as the King in the North because Jon is the last surviving son of Ned Stark (as far most people know), the living embodiment of a Northern warrior, and the one who can lead them in the true war to come. However, it's revealed that he is the biological nephew of Ned Stark, since we learn he is the son of Ned's sister Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, and Jon's Stark lineage comes from his mother. To make things even more complicated, the Season Seven finale revealed that not only were Rhaegar and Lyanna in love, they were married, with Rhaegar even going as far as to annul his original marriage to Elia Martell to make it happen. Not only does that mean that Jon was never a bastard, his father's lineage makes him the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. That revelation has a massive effect on the events of Season Eight. |

Tristan in Stardust inverts several of these tropes. He gets his royal and supernatural parentage from his mother, and is raised by his muggle father, thinking that his stepmother is his biological mother. The fact that his sister is six months younger than he is should have been a clue. | |

The drow of Drowtales are a complete inversion as Drow society is both matriarchal and matrilineal, and while some fathers do still live with the children, including Zala'ess' mate Sabbror, it seems that most noble kids have no contact with their fathers, and it's more common for fathers to live with the family in lower-class families. Noble titles especially are exclusively passed through the mother, as are inheritance. There is one known exception: the Tions Sarghress line is carried from Rosof (a male) through his son Ein, to his granddaughter Nei'kalsa. That's two generations where the male line is actually important, but this is a special case and it's likely that the Tions line will now be carried on by Nei'kalsa and her daughters. It's likewise implied that the Illhar'dro clan still officially only cares about the mother's line, but that they'll teach children who their fathers are for political purposes, since that's how the Illhar'dro do business. | |

House of the Dragon: King Viserys is desperate to have a male heir at the beginning of the series. After losing yet another baby boy and following his beloved wife's Death by Childbirth, he decides to go against the Heir Club for Men and makes their only surviving child Rhaenyra his heir to the throne. The Velaryons find themselves in a difficult situation with the "death" (disappearance, not that they know it) of Laenor and the death of Vaemond, now having no male heir with Velaryon blood (since the three children Rhaenyra had with "Laenor" are actually Strong bastards). Rhaenyra finds an alternative and proposes to marry Jacaerys and Lucerys to Rhaena and Baela, which Rhaenys accepts, thus also going against the trope. |

Gulcasa and Emilia inherited their demon blood from their (dead and eternally offscreen) father, whose only other major contribution to anything was having been a terrible excuse for a human being. Gulcasa's inherent scythe skills and combat ability are implied to come from his mother. However, his gentle personality, sense of humanity, and all his other positive traits come from his childhood friend (and surrogate mama) Siskier. | |

Zigzagged in Boktai with Django. At first he's presented as nothing more than a complete chip off the old block like his father Ringo. You find out later his mother was Mani, a member of the immortals, and that he inherited numerous passive traits from her such as his resistance to Klorofolun (which should turn any living thing it touches undead, but merely harms him) and his ability to become a half-vampire when bitten by his now-vampiric father. | |

Child of the Storm: Played With. The immediately obvious connection is between Harry and his father, and the first book is about him exploring his relationship with his father, that heritage, and the consequences... except that the most crucial connection is actually to his mother. This is built on in the second book, with Harry's favoured powers (both his Psychic Powers and inclination towards fire magic) both coming from his mother, an increasingly noted resemblance to her in personality and mannerisms, and the main legacies that come back to haunt him actually relating to her. | |

The Twilight Saga: Zigzagged with the Quileute shapeshifting gene, which can pass through both men and women, but men are assumed to be the only ones to exhibit it. Until Eclipse, it's not even thought to be possible for women to become shapeshifters, but then Leah Clearwater comes along. She and her brother, Seth, got the shapeshifting gene from their mother, while the rest of the shapeshifter pack got theirs from their fathers. Female vampires are barren, while their male counterparts are not. This means that all human-vampire hybrids shown in the series got their supernatural traits from their fathers. In Midnight Sun, it appears to be that Bella inherited her "private mind" from her father, as Edward has some difficulty reading Chief Swan's mind. |

In XCOM 2 Chief Engineer Lily Shen owes a good chunk of her characterisation and motives to being the daughter of Raymond Shen, the Chief Engineer in the previous game. Her mother isn't mentioned at all. In the "Shen's Last Gift" DLC, the AI Julian looks down on Lily for having a mother at all, and considers itself the "undiluted" son of its designer, Raymond Shen. In that case, however, it's played more as evidence of insanity and meglomania. | |

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kamado Family: While it was rather easy to assume due the unmistakable physical resemblance and particular traits, the 2nd Databook confirmed Tanjuro as the one descending from Sumiyoshi and his children (although it isn't said from which one), thus being the one who received the legacy from his father, passing down the Hinokami Kagura to his son Tanjiro. Tokito Family: Left hanging, in the manga it couldn't even be assumed which Unnamed Parent could be the one who is a descendant from Kokushibo, the Upper-1 demon, once head of the Tsugikuni Family, due the lack of color illustrations and enough details, and the 2nd Databook doesn't specify which parent came from that bloodline; the anime, however, could be implicitly leaning towards the father, due his colored physical characteristics resembling those from that bloodline, while the mom doesn't, but in the end nothing is confirmed. |

In the Mahabharata,Draupadi is married to all five of the Pandavas, but they have rules in their relationship because of this trope. Each of her husbands gets a year with her on a cyclic basis, and only he is allowed to be with her for that year. If any of the others "intrude" on her, he's to be exiled for a year. As a result, she has 5 sons (one by each of the Pandavas), and it is known exactly whose son is whose. | |

Considering Hawke's father sort of created his own legacy (and we don't even know his past too well before he ever met Leandra, but it's implied to be not very pleasant) by aiding the Wardens, that's the straight part. The inversion would stem from Leandra's side of the family, the Amell lineage, which is noble. | |

This is a running undercurrent in Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi as the novel explores how this affects succession and expectations of Like Father, Like Son, since in Imperial China, sons are expected to inherit from fathers and continue their lineage. This causes Jiang Cheng to feel like an Inadequate Inheritor because he doesn't act as the ideal leader of the Jiang Clan like his father, acting and behaving more like his quick-tempered mother. Wei Wuxian is constantly gossiped about and looked down upon because he is the son of a servant, despite the fact that his mother is also a powerful and famous cultivator. | |

Ace Attorney: Spirit channeling abilities are passed down through the female line and only to women. Men are basically just mechanisms to make more babies, which explains the high divorce rate in Kurain. Not to mention Apollo's Perceive abilities, which come from his mother, who got it from her father. Trucy, Apollo's half-sister, also has the ability from their mother, but hers is weaker and she had to train herself. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Zigzagged and gender-inverted with Negi. The work focuses initially on his father, the Thousand Master, who he takes after and looks almost identical to comes up before then. Ultimately his character is much more similar to his mother, and his lineage from her is more important to the plot (although his lineage from his father is more important to him). | |

Subverted in The Bridge as Godzilla III a.k.a Junior is the adopted son of the second Godzilla, Senior. He did grow up to have the same powers to an even stronger degree, but he sees this quite negatively. It takes his adoptive mother, Azusa, convincing him the similarities can make him his own person without disrespecting his father's memory that Junior stops thinking of this as the case and sees his traits fully as his own and not just his father's legacy. | |

Amphibia: It's revealed that King Andrias is the son and successor of Amphibia's previous ruler King Aldrich, who groomed Andrias to be the person he is today. Andrias and Aldrich are the two latest in a long line of evil despots who ruled Amphibia's old multiversal empire in the name of the Core (a mechanical monster containing the digitized consciousnesses of all the previous rulers), acting as the Core's Puppet King in life before having their minds uploaded into its collective upon their natural passing — the late Aldrich is still watching over Andrias from within the Core in the present day. Almost nothing is known about Andrias' mother, who is never mentioned. | |

The Camp Half-Blood Series: Zigzagged with demigods, who can either have a divine father or a divine mother. Percy Jackson, upon finding out that his powers came from his divine father, Poseidon, asks Annabeth Chase who her father is. She responds by saying that her father is a college professor in San Francisco, while her mother is the goddess Athena. Frank Zhang also zigzags this. Although his father is a god, his mom had powers of her own (and could count several heroes and demigods among her ancestors), and Frank has definitely inherited some things from her side of the family. Such as the power to transform into animals. |

In Babylon 5 Expanded Universe Psi Corps trilogy, it is revealed that telepaths, especially families who have been in the Corps many generations, track their lineage through their mothers and keep their mother's last name. This is due to the discovery that telepathy is passed on only through mitochondrial DNA. The notable lineage in the books is the Alexander line, of which only women are shown. This, however, begs the question of why it is important for the father to be a strong telepath if his genes for the ability aren't passed on to the offspring. | |

Young Avengers: Young Avengers' member, Hulkling is a complicated case. He's the biological son of the deceased Kree superhero Captain Marvel and the (also deceased) Skrull Princess Anelle. Both sides of the Kree-Skrull war claim that the parent of their race is more important in determining Hulkling's role in life. Kl'rt the Super Skrull goes to desperate lengths to convince Hulkling to make a play at reuniting the Skrull Empire. A Kree officer also tries to conscript Hulkling into the Kree army by saying that because his father was Kree, he is Kree. Hulkling eventually rejects both roles since he understandably doesn't want to have any part in the insane genocidal conflict and already has a life on Earth. Power-wise, his parents are equally important: the combination of Super-Strength from his father and Shapeshifting from his mother is what helps him look like a Hulk Legacy Hero even though he's not really a Gamma mutate. Inverted by Billy Kaplan, as his powers explicitly come from and mirror the Scarlet Witch. |

Voltes V: Both played straight and inverted with Prince Heinel - while his father is Prince Gohl, the Emperor's younger brother, what is really needed to be a noble in Boazanian society are horns, which he was born without. Gohl's own father tried to commit fillicide after he was born hornless, claiming that a hornless child would shame the family, but was convinced by his wife to keep the child and raise him with prosthetic horns. After becoming the Boazanian Minister of Science, Gohl fell in love with a Horned Boazanian woman named Lozaria, who knew his secret and kept it. The child that came out of this marriage was Prince Heinel, but by the time he was born Gohl was arrested after his horns were exposed as fake, and Lozaria died in childbirth. Heinel was raised by his grandparents, who refused to speak of his father and his crime. Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi are Half-Human Hybrids, born to the Boazanian Prince Gohl and the Japanese scientist Mitsuyo Go. Unfortunately, Mitsuyo dies as well. |

Played with in Noir. While Mireille Bouquet's life was undoubtedly affected by her father Laurent and his ties to The Mafia, her mother Odette arguably winds up having the biggest impact on the story because of the promise she extracted from her own killer, who was none other than Mireille's future partner Kirika, to take care of Mireille. | |

Played with in The Hobbit as well. Thorin Oakenshield, who is a direct descendant of Durin the Deathless and the rightful King Under the Mountain, never marries and has no children of his own lineage. However, he does have a younger sister, DÃs. She has two sons, FÃli and KÃli. As Thorin's nephews and closest living relatives, FÃli and KÃli are deemed his official heirs (though as they died on the same day as their uncle, the crown actually ended up passing to their distant cousin Dain). Considering the gender imbalance of dwarves (only one-third of them are female) and how few of them are known to marry or reproduce, it's not surprising that many would have to look to female or distant relatives for blood-related heirs. | |

Captain America: Gender-Inverted for Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, who gets nearly all of his notable personality traits from his mother, Sarah, including his compassion, morality, Determinator status, and even his ability to give inspirational speeches. His father, Joseph on the other hand, was an abusive person that Steve actively tries not to be like, though (also like his mother) he still loves yet pities him, rather than hating him. | |
