A basic plot that most likely originated with the story of Moses. It involves a character living in the lap of luxury, when suddenly he's forced to run away from home, usually due to murdering someone on accident (though sometimes the character is just sick of the people where he lives). The character exiles himself and goes on to live a carefree life without much responsibility. That is, however, until their past comes back to bite them in the butt, and they are forced to return to their old home and save the day, usually by saving his people from either their evil rulers or a new evil that has come in his absence. This story is usually An Aesop on growing up, facing the past, and taking responsibility, and goes to show the character transforming from someone who once ran away from his past returning to confront it. The original decision to leave may come from the realization that they were Moses in the Bulrushes. This is an element of the traditional "hero's journey" (in literary classes you learn that the first step in the stereotypical "heroic arc" is the "refusal of the call"). Perhaps an incorporation of the hero's journey's stages as subtropes with some of the common subversions (such as Jumped at the Call). Usually results in Rightful King Returns if the character was royalty, or A Protagonist Shall Lead Them if they were not (and if they are The Protagonist). Related to Charlie Brown from Outta Town, if they come under a different (albeit similar) identity and costume. Compare/contrast Achilles in His Tent, Refusal of the Call. Note that "prodigal" means "wasteful"; the correct definition is used in the biblical parable, but the word has come to be associated with exile and return. |

Wonder Woman (1987): While Diana is in frequent contact with Themyscira when it is not cut off from the outside world any time she returns it is treated as a big deal by the Amazons and is because there is some larger threat to her people, who miss her terribly and would prefer it if she had never left. | |

Wonder Woman (2006): This was set up, with Diana being forced to leave Themyscira after defying and denying Zeus, who has set himself up as the replacement for the Amazon's patrons, but the payoff is murky as it occurs in Wonder Woman: Odyssey and involves time travel shenanigans which lead to the reinstatement of Themyscira after its destruction caused by said time travel. | |

The story of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) character Elias Acorn is this. After being rescued by King Acorn's Secret Service, Elias was forced to be a king-in-intern after an assault on Robotropolis hospitalizes King Acorn, leading to Geoffery St. John to act as his adviser. Through Geoffery, Elias made a number of decisions that broke up the Freedom Fighters and put more emphasis on the Secret Service, which St. John was part of. These, along with his own doubts and fears, lead him to bail from Knothole and start a life away from being a member of the royal family. However, when Sonic discovered him and learned his sister Sally was being forced to marry Antoine, who was secretly his Mirror Universe Evil Twin Patch, Elias returned to the kingdom and took up the reigns once more | |

Devil May Cry 5: This symbolically happens with Dante. His greatsword, a memento of his father, is called "Rebellion", and while he's a good guy, he initially wasn't as heroic as his demon father Sparda was, and didn't think of his own demonic heritage too highly. However, the biggest problem in the game comes from his own twin brother, Vergil (i.e his family), and his first step of resolving it is to go back to the ruins of his family's house, seeking answers. There, he has an epiphany about why his father gave him the Rebellion in the first place: he thinks, if Vergil's sword (also another of Sparda's memento), Yamato, could split him into a human half and a demon half, then he questions about what Rebellion could do. Dante then stabs himself with Rebellion's remains; this, together with the Devil Sword Sparda (his father's main sword) on his back, allows him to "accept" his demonic heritage (i.e to "follow" the way of his father) and gives his demonic power a dramatic boost by having both swords "merge" into him, giving him a more powerful demonic form, as well as the ability to create his own sword, "Devil Sword Dante". Later on, during the fight with the Big Bad's empowered form, the setting is an illusory version of his old home, symbolizing Dante "going back to the past" during this fight. | |

Batman Begins presents the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Gotham as this. While Bruce is away training, Gotham's been steadily going downhill since the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne and Wayne Enterprises is being guided away from its original, philanthropic ideals. Then Bruce Wayne comes back, starts cleaning up the streets as Batman, retakes full ownership of Wayne Enterprises and puts Lucius Fox in charge, saves the city from destruction at the hands of the League of Shadows, and by the time of The Dark Knight has brought hope back to Gotham. | |

The main character of the first Knights of the Old Republic game actually is referred to as 'the Prodigal Knight' in the Light Side ending. Since they were a member of the Jedi Order who left to fight the Mandalorians and became Sith, they eventually returned to the Jedi. They're not particularly wasteful unless you count the one million things sitting in your inventory. | |

Subverted in Fallout 4 with the East Coast branch of the Brotherhood of Steel. Originally they broke off from the West Coast branch due to disagreements with their policies, and the West Coast branch was nearly annihilated a few years later. Now they've reestablished contact with the old leaders of the West Coast and are building a second-generation Brotherhood of Steel out of Washington DC. However, though this saved the Brotherhood and did stop a lot of powerful tech ending up in the wrong hands, from the perspective of outsiders this made them more villainous. They now follow a mix of the West Coast and East Coast policies. | |

All the Roofs of Uncertainty: Jason finally returns to the manor after trying to stop killing for a month and discovering it so hard that it convinces him he really needs to stop altogether, as he's realized he's just become another hypocritical murderer. Alfred even says "The prodigal returns, Master Bruce," when Bruce walks in and sees him. He manages to save Damian's life later on due to reforging his connections with his family and therefore being in the loop when Damian is in a collapsing building. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko was forced to leave home but otherwise fits here. More meaningfully for this trope is when he betrays Iroh, the only one who stood by him during his exile, and upon realizing his mistake abandons his father to rejoin Iroh's forces. He tries to give a clumsy apology speech upon seeing Iroh again, but it's cut off by Iroh giving him a hug, overjoyed that he didn't 'lose' Zuko after all. Aang fled his home after seeing It Sucks to Be the Chosen One. Returning after decades frozen in a glacier to discover that his people were wiped out and the world has been at war for a hundred years because he wasn't there. He continues to blame himself for this throughout the series until he finally stops the Fire Lord. |

This was essentially Nightwing's character arc which was a decade in the making. In the early 1980s, Bruce and Dick started to drift apart; Dick was spending less and less time in Gotham as he dedicated most of his time to college and the Teen Titans. After a mistake involving Clayface, Bruce outright fired Dick from the role. Dick assumed his own mantle end drifted to his own city to become a protector. Years later, Bruce's back is broken by Bane, and after his first choice of successor proves to be a disaster, Bruce finally repairs his relationship with Dick and Dick takes up the mantle of Batman. Interestingly, the story of this breakup differs drastically - pre-Crisis, it was very amicable, even allowing new orphan Jason Todd to take up the mantle of Robin. post-Crisis, Robin had screwed up and nearly got killed trying to ambush the Joker. | |

Legacy of Kain: Both of the series' Anti-Hero protagonists qualify as darker examples: Kain was the youngest son of a noble family, so while he grew up in luxury, he was unlikely to inherit anything and thus set off to see the world for himself. While returning from his travels, he was assassinated and resurrected as a vampire - his hometown of Coorhagen gets ravaged by pestilence, but he ends up becoming the Dark Messiah of the series destined to bring balance to Nosgoth. Raziel was the firstborn vampiric son of the aforementioned Kain, who stood by him and his brothers at the dawn of Kain's empire, serving him faithfully for over a millennium. However, when Raziel exceeded Kain in evolution by growing wings, Kain crippled him and threw him into the Lake of the Dead in an act of apparent jealousy - though as it's later revealed, Kain's reasons for doing this were far, far more complex and much less malicious than originally thought to be. |

The Avengers: The Enchantress used a love spell on Hercules to send him against the Avengers. Hercules broke free from the spell, but Zeus banished him from Olympus for making the forbidden journey to Earth. The Avengers welcomed him as a guest, and then made him a full member. And when the year passed, Hercules returned to Olympus, to request permission to stay on Earth (so it would be by choice rather than exile). However, when he returned, Olympus was empty: the titan Typhon broke free from his own exile of millennia ago and sent the Greek gods to a dark dimension. Unable to kill Hercules, he sent him as well. But, as a demigod, Hercules could be sent back by Zeus. He defeated Typhon in battle and forced him to undo the spell, returning the gods to Olympus. | |
