== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Kenzo Tenma, brain surgeon supreme, is one of these in [[Monster (manga)|Monster]].
Line 16:
== [[Fairy Tale]]s ==
* Many a princess has to flee her [[Wicked Stepmother]] or her [[Parental Incest|father who wants to marry her]] and go into service as a [[Scullery Maid]]. These include [[Joseph Jacobs]]'s "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130718151309/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/catskin.html Catskin]", "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131006101311/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/cinderella/stories/katie.html Katie Woodencloak]", "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130824043504/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/cinderella/stories/rashin.html Rashin-Coatie]", "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130802235809/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/bear.html The Bear]", [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|The Brothers Grimm]]'s "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130718151024/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/allfur.html All-Kinds-Of-Fur]", "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131020230909/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/kingdaughter.html The King Who Wished Marry To His Daughter]", and "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130718143820/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/caporushes.html Cap O' Rushes]".
* In "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130803001541/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/grimms/31girlwithouthands.html The Girl Without Hands]", after the miller's daughter marries a king, she is driven out to the wilderness, and has to live there with her baby.
** Similarly with the heroine of "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131129130936/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/armlessmaiden/stories/onehandedgirl.html The One-Handed Girl]".
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Star Wars]]'':
** Princess Leia spent years in hiding, running away from the Empire. This is a subverted trope in that she was already a member of the Rebellion before she went into hiding and going to them was logical after being captured at the start of ''A New Hope'', possibly even if Alderaan had not gone kablooey. In fact, that may have been where she was headed even before Vader thought it'd be fun to sack the Tantive IV.
Line 28:
* ''Rick's'' is stuffed to the brim with these in ''[[Casablanca]]''. This was [[Truth in Television]], for while there was no exact Rick's (or no exact Rick or Victor Lazlo for that matter), there were a number of places like it.
== [[Literature]] ==
* The [[Noble Savage|Zulu warrior]] Umslopogaas in ''Alan Quartermain''

* Alan Breck Stewart in ''Kidnapped'' by Robert Louis Stevenson.
* Aragorn in [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
Line 45:
* Sort of happens to David in [[The Bible]]. He was just a shepherd boy, but was anointed as the king of Israel by the prophet Samuel. Unfortunately, Saul was still the king, and was not very excited about this. David eventually ends up on the run from Saul.
* Aaron and Natalie Jastrow in [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance]]. Natalie is a famous scholar's niece, daughter-in-law of a President's aide and future admiral, sister-in-law of a dead war hero, and wife of a submarine ace. In America street cred like that would allow her to get into any party in the country even allowing for anti-Jewish prejudice. In Europe of course, she is simply another Jew to be sent to Auschwitz as soon as she is captured and no more [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|petty propaganda can be forced out of her]].
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' franchise, {{spoiler|Sirius Black, a close friend of Harry's parents and the closest thing Harry has to an actual father. Throughout most of ''[[Harry Potter and
== [[Live
* River and Simon Tam in ''[[Firefly]]''.
** A classic example of "seeking shelter among the barbarians and going native"
Line 53:
** {{spoiler|And again at the end of season 4.}}
* Snow White, in Once Upon A Time due to her past with the Evil Queen in the Fairy World.
* Fester Addams is this in the [[Netflix]] series ''[[Wednesday]]'', having shown up at his niece's school while on the run from the police after robbing a bank - something he does for fun, it seems.
== Mythology and Legend ==
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* [[Robin Hood]], in those stories that make him the Earl of Huntingdon or Robert/Robin of Locksley.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* Duke Senior and his men, Rosalind, and Celia in [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[As You Like It]]''
* Macduff and Malcolm end up like this in ''[[Macbeth]]''.
* The bandits in ''[[Two Gentlemen of Verona]]}}'' are all banished nobles.

== Web Comics ==▼
* Windswept Questant/White Queen of ''[[Homestuck]]''. She driven away from Prospit after [[Big Bad|Jack Noir]] attacks and becomes an Exile.▼
** Snowman is also later revealed to be the former Black Queen of the Trolls' session, and joined [[Gang of Hats|The Felt]] after Spades Slick (along with the help of the Troll players) ousted her during the game.▼
* Prince Alfon in ''[http://www.radiocomix.com/birthright/ Birthright]'' was sent to another country after his homeland of Shartoa was invaded by the Tosiu. Ten years later he returned to start a populist revolution.▼
* [[The Legend of Zelda|Princess Zelda]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is forced to go into hiding as a ninja for seven years after [[Big Bad|Ganondorf]] takes over her kingdom.
* Many nobles in the [[Fire Emblem]] series become disenfranchised and hunted before either joining or forming a massive army to reclaim their kingdoms, starting from the original [[The Hero|Marth]], and later reflected by supporting Characters in the [[Fire Emblem Tellius|Tellius]] universe in Elincia of Crimea and later Sanaki of Begnion.

* Princess Sadira of ''[[Vanguard Bandits]]'' becomes a fugitive of her own Empire after [[Big Bad|Faulkner]] usurps it.
