The number seven is often considered magical, and in folklore, the seventh son of a seventh son is often considered to have inherent magical powers like second sight. In fiction, and sometimes song, this is often shortened to just the seventh son, though seventh sons were common enough (up until the 20th Century) that this makes little sense. A common version of the legend says that the seventh son of a seventh son will be born with a caul (actually a loose flap of amniotic sac) over his face, to signify the Seer-like powers. Characters often claim to be a seventh son of a seventh son, to help convince others that they have magical powers, even in stories where magic is not real. Traditionally, this trope was Always Male, possibly because "seventh daughter of a seventh daughter" doesn't quite roll off the tongue. (Though it's more likely for less charitable reasons.) Modern works, however, have an increasing tendency to feature the distaff version — especially in Feminist Fantasy, where the author may explicitly add a "take that!" comment about the traditional version, and some works go a step further and simplify the whole thing to "a seventh child of a seventh child." Speaking of gender politics, this trope may even overlap with Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person if these powers confirm that the seventh son is a son, or that the seventh daughter is a daughter. A subtrope of Rule of Seven, related to Lucky Seven. Compare Youngest Child Wins. |

In Son of the Desert Trisha is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, a Batsheva, which means she has a sacred place in Ishvalan society. In-universe, few people in Ishvalan society are allowed to refer to someone by their first name, and there are strict cultural rules dictating respect and deference in conversation. In contrast, everyone is allowed to call Trisha by name (and vice versa), she can speak her mind at any time to anyone she wants (including talking back, even as a very young child), and marrying her will allow someone to start a new family name. She marries the immortal Hohenheim. | |

The villain Man-Witch from Common Grounds is a deliberate case; when his mother found out her husband was a seventh son she decided to have seven sons to see if it worked. It did. Incidentally, it really is seven sons; they had somewhere around fifteen children because girls kept messing up the math. | |

In the Discworld series, the magic number is eight, not seven, so the eighth son of an eighth son is a wizard. In Equal Rites, Eskarina would have been an eighth son of an eighth son if she hadn't been born a girl, which causes quite a lot of trouble when a wizard mistakenly bequeaths his powerful wizard's staff to her under the assumption that she would be an eighth son. Women are supposed to be witches, not wizards, so most of the story is spent trying to figure out where exactly she fits in the world. In Sourcery, we learn that the eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son becomes a super-powerful "sourcerer", a wizard that is actually a source of magic, and almost too powerful for the world to bear. (This is one of the reasons wizards are discouraged from having sex.) |

In Ernest Scared Stupid, Old Lady Hackmore says "you're the seventh son of the seventh son" when listing all the auspices that make Ernest The Chosen One for fulfilling his ancestor's legacy and defeating Trantor the Troll once and for all. (It's not clear if she's being metaphorical or not, though, especially since she refers to him as the direct descendant of Phineas Worrell.) | |

Dragalia Lost is about a young prince named Euden, who is the seventh scion of the Alberian royal family. As The Hero, Euden is the one who would change the world, as he would form pacts with countless dragons and would encourage all kinds of people to unite together for a common goal. Turns out to be a subversion, since Euden is not actually the seventh scion, but rather, is a clone of him. The real seventh scion, Nedrick, was presumed to have died shortly after birth, so his father cloned him. Resentful that Euden practically took away his life, Nedrick seeks revenge on Euden. | |

He fully expected his firstborn to be a son, but he instead got a daughter. Elphaba's sex, along with her green skin, are just the start of Elphaba's life of screwing with her father's expectations. | |

The Reformed Vampire Support Group and its werewolf-centric sequel use a version of the Latin American legend that werewolves are seventh sons (though only of certain bloodlines, with no seventh-son father required). Played With a bit, since the second book's protagonist is an adoptee who was raised as an only child. | |
