Let's say Bob is fighting a long-hated group of the side he was raised by. No tales of being affiliated with them at all in his youth or information of his origins. Now consider that Bob has just found out he is one of group he has fought against for so long. Bob decides to defect and join the side he has been fighting against. That is essentially this trope.
This is a circumstance where a character decides to make a HeelFaceTurn or FaceHeelTurn to a side that they once denigrated, oppressed, or fought against because of the revelation that the character is actually a member of the side by birth or by heritage.
This kind of situation can be seen in stories as result from the factor of there being a HeelFaceTurn but keep in mind that the side an example portrays is not always malevolent or benevolent. This trope tends to happen to characters who were RaisedByNatives or RaisedByOrcs, more often than not the consequence of a ChildOfTwoWorlds.
