All children are individuals who exhibit good and bad behavior, regardless of what their parents do for a living. Except these kids. If you're a preacher's kid in fiction, you're either a perfect little angel or—more commonly—a beastly little devil more devoted to mischief and/or promiscuity than any kind of religious study. Bonus points for being the latter while people think you're the former, an ability no doubt gained from your years of living under a household where learning to hide your extracurricular activities proves to be a tad bit more important than mathematics. It also is easy to be bad if your ordained parent is a Sinister Minister. Of course, in actuality preacher's kids run the gamut in personality traits, but their screw ups tend to be far more public. Think about it: If you're the child of say, a chef, and you're caught doing something morally ambiguous or even downright illegal, well, how many people in your town would really care? (Even if you're a bad cook, people will merely consider it amusing.) But if you're a preacher's kid? Let's hope you didn't inhale. From the kid's perspective, it might be because everything is Forbidden Fruit. Making something morally off-limits only makes it more tempting for many kids to do. Worse, this tendency to magnify even the smallest infraction makes it easy to get started on the vicious Crime After Crime cycle with a very small initial offense. In regard to such kids being portrayed as sexually promiscuous, compare Catholic Schoolgirls Rule. Note that Roman Catholicnote More precisely Latin Rite priests, as like their Orthodox colleagues, Eastern Catholic priests are allowed to have gotten married prior to ordination, thus able to have children; the same applies to Latin rite priests with special dispensations or who were widowers upon studying for the priesthood. This does not appear much in media, though, because most Catholic priests are Latin Rite priests are supposed to be celibate (as opposed to most Protestant and Eastern Churches), so any examples from that denomination are going to be of necessity illegitimate. If the writer doesn't want to go down that route, one can either (a) substitute an Anglican for the Catholic (they are, in the words of the late Anglican Robin Williams "Catholic Lite") or (b) substitute a deacon for a priest (married Catholic men are allowed to become deacons—indeed, most deacons who aren't in training for the priesthood are married—and deacons are held to a similar standard of conduct as priests). Subtrope of The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes and Strict Parents Make Sneaky Kids (for the beastly kind). In fact, the beastly kind is so widely-recognized that an old saying goes, "Minister's kids, the devil's grandkids." The film by this name, Preacher's Kid, exhibits a mixed case. |

Kyoko Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the daughter of a priest and Used to Be a Sweet Kid—until her well-intentioned Deal with the Devil (not literally, but still) ended with her father going mad and committing Pater Familicide. She became The Cynic and even The Social Darwinist, allowing Familiars to kill people just so that she could harvest their Grief Seeds later. Her arc in the show sees her recover some of her initial goodness and optimism. | |

In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye's daughter Hodel briefly expresses a bit of a crush on Mendel, the son of the local rabbi ("We only have one rabbi, and he only has one son. Why shouldn't I want the best?"). When we actually meet Mendel, however, he seems like a bit of a no-fun pedant, constantly correcting Tevye's Biblical references. | |

Blue Exorcist has both Rin and Yukio, who although adopted, still consider Catholic priest Fujimoto their rightful father. (Their biological father is Satan.) Rin appears to be the rebellious kind at first, with Yukio taking the foil as his angelic counterpart. But shortly after the series starts, it's made clear that both boys are just trying to help the people they care about, and Rin starts to look less like a delinquent and more like a brash optimist determined to kick the shit out of Satan. Yukio also starts to look less angelic as more of his hidden insecurities reveal themselves. Ryuji Suguro is also the son of a high priest (Buddhist, or at least Buddhist-ish) and a Foil for Rin—a Rule-Abiding Rebel with a Hair-Trigger Temper, loyal to his friends and with his own vendetta against Satan. He's also on par with Yukio in terms of intelligence. |

Freshman Year: Subverted. Realistically, though CJ's father is a minister, he's neither devil nor angel. After he goes to college, CJ does act in ways his parents don't like, drinking and impregnating his girlfriend. However, he takes responsibility and they help him work this out, with him remaining an upright person overall despite this. | |

Don Camillo: In Don Camillo e i giovani d'oggi, Don Camillo is forced to take in his troublemaking niece Cat—youthful rebel, lover of beat music, and ringleader of a biker gang—as her family hopes that her conservative uncle and a rural environment will "set her straight". Initially Cat behaves as provocative as possible in the hopes that Don Camillo will throw her out; when this fails, Cat seems to undergo a change of heart and starts to dress conservatively, goes to church, and has long conversations about religion with Don Camillo's young auxiliary priest Don Chichì. Her spotless record is only tainted when she confides in Don Camillo that she is pregnant, prompting him to give her money so she can move out and start a business of selling consumer electronics out of a van. This goes well because Cat's business is the only one in town to compete with Peppone's, securing her the local conservative customers who resent buying from the communist Peppone. Her livelihood secured, she asks her priestly uncle to hear her confession, which is that she has feigned her religious leanings to manipulate Don Chichì, that she faked pregnancy in order to blackmail Don Camillo to give her money, and that she is really Peppone's business partner and only pretending to be his competitor in order to fool the conservatives who believe they are hurting Peppone by buying from the parson's niece. Her confession ends with the affirmation that she actually regrets nothing of this. | |

She's not only fine with that so long as Safe, Sane, and Consensual apply, but unabashedly promiscuous (however not openly to him, as you would expect).

Joyland: Features Annie, the daughter of a popular televangelist, who in the course of her life went through all 3 types. She started as a type 1, actively tried to be a good Preacher's Kid as a teenager despite her lack of faith. She rebelled once she entered college as a young aduld, becomming a type 2, even joining the American Atheist Society. By the time the story is set however, she has outgrown this phase as well and is now mostly neutral towards religion, with most of her time being devoted to caring for her ill son Mike. She and her father are still on bad terms with each other however. | |

Creature Tech: Zig-zagged with Dr. Ong, who is the son of a quantum-physicist-turned-Baptist-minister, started out pursuing priesthood himself, then rebelled and went into hard science, atheism, and wild parties. The events of the comic reconnect him to his father and religion. The intro suggests that his father had a very similar backstory, and the end ambiguously suggests that Ong himself might be redeveloping his interest in priesthood. |

Eli from the Books of Samuel was a renowned priest and judge. His two sons by birth were corrupt ministers who had respect "neither for the Lord; nor for the priests' duties for the people; they treated the offerings to the Lord with disdain" (1 Samuel 2:12b,13a,17b). The priesthood eventually went to the adopted son for whom the book is named. | |

They aren't bad by any means, or at least no more mischievous than other children, but are held up to such high standards by the community because of who their father is that whenever they try to meet those standards, it only leads them into more into trouble, leading them to impose fairly harsh punishments on themselves, leading to youngest daughter Una fainting in church (due to her being very frail and going a whole day without food) and Carl to come down with pneumonia. They get better once their father realizes what's going on. Also helps that Rosemary West becomes their stepmother by the end. | |

Rumpole of the Bailey: Rumpole doesn't mention it often, but his father was a vicar, and his childhood home was a vicarage. As expected for the "diabolic" end, Rumpole has less use for organised religion than anyone else in the series, has a hot temper, and is fond of his minor vices, particularly wine, poetry, blue humour, and small cigars. As expected for the "angelic" end, he is tireless in his pursuit of truth and justice and a noble defender of the rights of the accused with a strict and mostly self-imposed code of ethics. | |

Dane O'Neill, of The Thorn Birds fits into this category, subverted somewhat, because he is unaware of his parentage. | |

Luke on Mom, Violet's boyfriend and the father of her baby. He's a slacker, a stoner and not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's actually a Nice Guy under it all. | |

Colin Sri'Vastra of Boy Meets Boy, Friendly Hostility and Other People's Business is gay, snarky, and cynical, with dreams of overthrowing Venezuela's government and installing himself as an iron-fisted despot. | |

The protagonists of The Night of the Hunter are the stepchildren of a preacher, though he wasn't present during their upbringing (which is probably for the best). The kids themselves are portrayed as just ordinary kids, put in a terrible situation. | |

Abena on Youngers, while not diabolical, doesn't seem to care that she is the daughter of a Pentecostal priest. Yemi finds this out the hard way when he is tasked with watching over with her when she is more interested in going to a nightclub. | |

Rev. Spence's children in One Foot in Heaven are polite, well-behaved, good kids, who still chafe at their father's strict Methodist discipline and how it constricts their lives. Hartzell says that girls are shocked when he tries to hold their hand, thinking that he's a pure-hearted preacher's son, while his sister Elizabeth complains that boys think exactly the opposite. They win a small victory when Hartzell takes his father to the movies and convinces the reverend that film-going isn't inherently sinful. | |

Angie King of Preacher's Kid starts out as the perfect angel. Twenty-two, she still spends most of her time serving her church and keeping her father, the bishop of a evangelical church. She is seduced into a life of theater and debauchery when she leaves with a traveling show. Near the beginning of the film, she complains about how preacher's children have to be perfect while Devlin continues to push the idea of all preacher's children being "the biggest freaks ever". | |

Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes has two examples: Steve Ellerby is the "devillish"/irreverent one. Played with (subverted) in that Steve is clearly a good guy from the outset and it later becomes apparent that he is not nearly as irreverent as it first appears. Mark Brittain is the angelic/"pure" one. Played with (subverted) in that Mark is nowhere near as pure as he'd like everyone to believe. |

In The Color Purple, Shug Avery is an independent and brash "loose woman"...which is why she is semi-estranged from her father, the town reverend. They begin reconciling by the end of the story. | |

Judith in The Anderssons was given up for adoption and spent her whole childhood with a religious family. Actually, her uncle (who becomes her legal guardian after her parents die in an accident) even is a priest. Judith is not really "Angelic", but she's not really "Diabolic" either. Rather, she is just a normal teenage girl. But that is terrible enough to her adoptive family, who are not portrayed in a positive light at all. So in the end, she feels that she can't fit in with them and eventually returns to her biological family. | |
