Fan Casting Orphan's Ordeal(Orphan Plot)

Role added by connieblackwood on February 17, 2023

Description of Orphan's Ordeal (Orphan Plot):

This trope is about fiction highlighting the unpleasant side of losing one's parents to death or abandonment. The parents have been lost recently, and the main plot (or at least a major subplot) involves dealing with this loss. This generally includes some combination of: Grieving over the loss; Finding surrogate parents or family; Discovering some heretofore-unknown aspect of the parents' lives, and investigating it; In particularly idealistic series, the parents may be unintentionally missing, rather than dead, and the plot would involve finding or rescuing them.
