Line 2:
Our favorite [[Heartwarming Orphan]] has recently lost his [[Parental Abandonment|beloved parents]] and is in danger of being sent to an [[Orphanage of Fear]]. But what's this? [[Evil Uncle|That uncle we've never heard of has agreed to be our legal guardian!]] The family fortune is saved! We just have to wait until we're 18 and... what's uncle doing with that axe?
This is the [[Illegal Guardian]], who may be an [[Evil Uncle]] or [[Wicked Stepmother]] or no relative at all with an [[Evil Plan]] to get all the money from those darn ''cough, cough'' beloved children.
