Line 54:
* Nefret Forth, in the [[Amelia Peabody]] series, fits this trope morally if not factually. Her parents were 19th-century explorers who discovered a remnant of ancient Egyptian civilization in a lost oasis and spent the rest of their lives there, [[Going Native]] in varying degrees. When Amelia and her family arrive, they find the 13-year-old Nefret being high priestess of Isis. Her parents being dead by the end of the book, Nefret goes back to Western civilization with the Emersons, where she has a realistically rough time fitting in.
* Nobody "Bod" Owens, hero of ''[[The Graveyard Book]]'', was orphaned just before the book starts, as a toddler, and wanders into a graveyard, where he is taken in and raised by ghosts. The whole book is a translation of ''[[The Jungle Book (novel)|The Jungle Book]]'' into the new setting, so this case wavers between Raised by Natives and [[Raised by Wolves]].
* Bria in ''[[The Last Dove]]'' is often mocked in the village of bird people where she was raised because she hasn't yet been able to change into a bird. She later turns out to be able to {{spoiler|turn into both a dove and a wolf.}}
* Etl in Raymund Gallun's ''Stamped Caution'' starts as something like an egg found in a wrecked Martian ship. Human scientists manage to raise "him", providing a good enough diet and conditions based on their knowledge of Mars and samples from the wreckage. Etl grows into an intelligent [[Starfish Alien]], who eventually accompanies the first manned mission to Mars.
