When writing [[Kid Fic]], it's of course necessary to come up with an identity for the child. This can be an interesting and fun experience - different traits from the two parents are passed on in unique and sometimes unexpected ways (some genetic traits even skip a generation!), forming a new, wholly original person.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
* In ''[[Hanamaru Kindergarten]]'', Sakura has blonde hair and her husband has brown hair; their daughter Anzu's hair is blonde in the front and brown in the back.▼
* Bizarre canon example from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Vivio, adopted daughter of [[Has Two Mommies|Fate and Nanoha]], looks like a perfect mix of her mothers' features, especially the face. Her blond hair is darker than Fate. However her [[Mismatched Eyes]] are {{color|red|Red}} and {{color|green| green}}, while Nanoha is {{color|purple| purple}}, {{spoiler|[[Epileptic Trees|which makes you wonder if Yuuno's]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|design somewhat involved, EVEN darker blond hair and green eyes by the way]]}}.▼
** Not to mention the voice ([[I Thought It Meant|no, not]] [[Frank Sinatra|the voice]]).▼
* From the creator of ''[[Naruto]]'', [[Word of God|Kishimoto]] confirmed that a child born between a Hyuga and a Uchiha would have a Sharingan in one eye, and a Byakugan in the other.▼
== [[Fan
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fans have crafted Roxel, the [[Mister Seahorse|child of the both very male Roxas and Axel]]. He has Roxas's and Axel's traits smashed together. During the year or so after ''[[Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts 2]]'' came out, he was all over [[Deviant ART]]'s front page; every other day you'd see fanart of him. There there are even ''cosplays'' of him.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' has numerous Sonic/Amy children who are part-blue, part-pink; if children worked this way in [[The Verse]], there must have been SOME extensive pure-breeding program in place to keep most characters a single color!
Line 54 ⟶ 61:
* One inside joke in the ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]'' fandom has it that Volkner is the Patchwork Kid of [[Big Bad|Cyrus]] and [[Big Good|Cynthia]] (never mind that Volkner is around the same age as those two...).
* ''[[Better Off Not Knowing]]'' averts this: Hakini is implied to [[Strong Family Resemblance|mainly take after]] {{spoiler|P'Li}}—inheriting the {{spoiler|[[Huge Schoolgirl|height]]}} and the {{spoiler|[[Playing with Fire|firebending]]}} at very least—although something about {{spoiler|Zaheer's mug shot}} ([[Word of God]] says it's the {{spoiler|[[Villainous Cheekbones|cheekbones]]}}) seems vaguely familiar to her. As her biological parents have {{spoiler|([[Unholy Matrimony|luckily for her]])}} [[Happily Adopted|played no role in her life]], it's unlikely that they were the ones to name her.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Late Night]] with [[Conan O'Brien]]'' had a recurring bit called "If They Mated", in which images of a celebrity couple were combined into [[Nightmare Fuel]]. (Often by the end of a segment, they would subvert this by putting ridiculous theoretical couples together and getting silly non-patchwork results—Conan himself plus ''[[Scooby

Line 84 ⟶ 85:
* In the ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Just One Bite", Squidward dreams that he marries a Krabby Patty (it makes sense in context). Their kid looks like a Krabby Patty with six tentacles.
* On ''[[Gargoyles]],'' [[Token Human|Elisa]] explicitly notes that [[Affirmative Action Girl|Angela]] looks like [[Big Bad|Demona]], but with [[The Hero|Goliath]]'s skin and hair color. A few episodes later is revealed that she is, in fact, their biological daughter.
* ''[[Kaeloo]]'': In Quack-Quack's [[Imagine Spot]],
