Line 7:
In fiction, this is often either [[backstory]] or a [[Beginning Tropes|Beginning Trope]]. Less often, it's an [[Ending Trope]]. It's rarely an event that takes place in the middle of a series.
Sci-fi stories can achieve the same effect with an exile to a far away, inhabited planet (preferably one whose biosphere resemble actual islands).
Subtrope of [[Reassigned to Antarctica]], where the exile isn't necessarily to a literal island.
