Line 308:
* In ''[[Wild Arms 2]]'', Anastasia Valeria {{spoiler|AKA the Sword Magess}} states that she used to be a normal girl before [[The Call Knows Where You Live|destiny intervened]]. She suffers a total breakdown when it looks like {{spoiler|Ashley}} is going to leave her alone, pretty much invoking the trope by name.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', this is the whole plot of the game. The main hero, [[Kid Hero|Marche]], despite being in a [[I Wish It Was Real|world of fantasy]] that apparently has no negative consequences if he just accepts it, just wants to escape the world of Ivalice and live in reality with his friends and brother.
* Several mages in the ''[[Dragon Age]]'' franchise feel this way about their magic. One mage in the ''Origins'' prays to the Maker apologizing for her very existence and thinks she is a monster. Ander's friend Karl in the sequel says that he would gladly give up his magic if it didn't also mean being turned Tranquil. In the [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] "Legacy" Hawke's father Malcolm's lingering memories reveal that Malcolm hated his magic and hoped none of his children would share his burden.
** Hawke's sister Bethany vocalizes her desire to be normal several times in party banter.
* Shinjiro Aragaki in ''[[Persona 3]]'' would like nothing better than to be rid of his Persona - with good reason, since {{spoiler|he once lost control of it during a mission, causing the death of an innocent woman and orphaning her eight-year-old-son}}. He stubbornly rejects Akihiko's efforts to bring him back into the fight, and goes so far as to {{spoiler|poison himself with Persona-suppressing drugs}}. In the female protagonist's route in the PSP version of the game, he all but says the trope name word for word during his Social Link.
