* KyouKaraMaou is full of people with subtextual identity issues. The two surviving members of the HalfHumanHybrid Rutenburg division make a study in contrasts on this point:
** Yozak is the cheerful, improbably competent, muscled, crossdressing red-headed spy who seems incredibly at home in his own skin, though some of that ''might'' be coping mechanism. His mother died and he spent his childhood (i.e. about thirty years) starving because of the customary ostracizing of anyone with half-Mazoku children in Shimaron, and he harbors some resentment against Mazoku for their less virulent but still racist treatment of half-bloods. At any rate, he is very IAmWhatIAm by this point in his life.
*** Just think how big he'd be if he'd had proper nourishment in his growing years!
** His best friend and captain Conrad, though, is "the perfect guy," probably the best swordsman in the world, of practically royal lineage on both sides but unable to hold any rank higher than 'sir', gives off the creepiest StepfordSmiler vibes sometimes, especially when explaining without rancor about some other shitty thing, and has apparently, his entire life, needed to have someone else to base that entire life around. When he was a kid, he had a BigBrotherComplex around Wolfram. After Wolfram rejected him for being half human, he eventually attached himself to Julia. After Julia died, Shinou arranged for him to [[spoiler: transport her soul to Earth and make sure that the baby it became was born safely]]. And after that, his whole reason for being is Yuuri.
*** His subtextual self-loathing gets much worse after the whole...arm thing. This debacle also serves as impetus for Yuuri's relationship with Wolfram (never mind everyone's CharacterDevelopment) since [[spoiler: even after Conrad comes back his previously practically-exclusive relationship with Yuuri never quite recovers.]]

* This is perhaps the main moral behind TheNightmareBeforeChristmas. Jack Skelington, the Pumpkin King, had become bored and dreary with scaring and longed for something more. After discovering Christmas and attempting to take a shot at it, only to fail miserably, he has a BSODSong which leads to up to this trope:
''Well, what the heck! I went and did my best! And by good, I really tasted something swell! For a moment, why, I even touched the sky! And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did!

* In an episode of RedDwarf, Kryten the android becomes human. At first he's thrilled, because mechanoids tend to view humans as awesome. As he starts belittling his origins and insulting his spare heads, he starts to realize that he can't change what he is inside; an android who can't tell the difference between Popeye and Descartes. Also, it provides this CrowningMomentOfFunny:
--> Human Kryten (Hands Lister a Poloroid photograph of his penis): Is that normal?
--> Lister: What, taking pictures of it and showing it to your mates? No, it's ''not''."

* When Iago of Shakespeare's ''Othello'' says "I am not what I am" in a soliloquy, he means a couple of things. Firstly he's [[CardCarryingVillain telling us he's a manipulative bastard, and possibly a psychopath]] rather than the honest and reliable man the other characters think he is. Secondly, this statement also roughly equates to him saying that he is soulless and therefore daemonic. Iago is fine with this and he's quite happy admitting his true colours to himself and to us as the audience.

* In the canon route of ''BlazeUnion'', Garlot has it dropped on him quite abruptly that [[IAmWho he's not who he thinks he is]]--as much as his mother tried to hide it from him, he's actually a pureblooded descendant of the demon Brongaa, and his real name is Gulcasa. As this comes in the middle of a brutal TraumaCongaLine, it would probably be forgivable for the poor kid to break down from the identity crisis... but he just accepts the truth calmly and then sets about trying to find a way to use his newfound power to protect people. At the very end of the game, he puts the spirit of this trope into words, but by then it really comes off as more of a TearJerker than anything else, as several people who meant a lot to him have utterly rejected him because of this.
