* TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}:
** The bloodlines of the Dragon-Blooded have branched out so far and affected so many corners of Creation that any mortal has a chance, no matter how small, of the Dragons in their blood manifesting. Those who are not born to any great Dragon-Blooded hegemon get the moniker of Outcastes to denote that they have no built-in allegiance.

** Anakin Skywalker is one such case, discovered by Jedi Master Qui-gon Jinn in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', though the pre-Disney junior {{novelization}} stated that his mother Shmi was an untrained Force-sensitive. Anakin had no biological father, the official explanation for which is that [[MysticalPregnancy the Force itself conceived him]]. (A long-running [[WildMassGuessing fan theory]] holds that Darth Plagueis created him, but that assumes that [[VillainsNeverLie anything that Palpatine said about him]] in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was true.)

** Harry's best friend Hermione Granger is the most prominent one, and the FantasticRacism she experiences drives her to become a champion for the rights of magical minorities. The fact that she is ''the'' most talented magic-user in her generation is frequently cited as an evidence of the complete BS regarding the view held by many people (not just pure-blood supremacists) that Muggle-borns are weaker. One could say she is the TropeCodifier.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Katara is a [[PlayedWith unique example]]. She’s from the [[ElementalNation Water Tribe]], and her being a [[MakingASplash waterbender]] born to two [[{{Muggles}} non-benders]] (Hakoda and Kya) isn’t unique because being RandomlyGifted with ElementalPowers in the World of Avatar is very common. However, she’s a member of the Southern Water Tribe, which has been targeted by Fire Nation raids in order to kill and/or capture every single waterbender that was produced there during the Hundred Year War. Katara is the only one left by the time the series begins, and the 14-year-old hardly has any waterbending experience because there have never been any other waterbenders around to teach her. A major subplot of the first season is Katara finding a Waterbending master from the Northern Water Tribe (which has mostly remained intact thanks to its isolation from the rest of the world) to teach her.

** Multiple examples are also encountered throughout the series where a "half-blood" witch or wizard is descended from both a Muggle ''and'' a magical parent. [[spoiler:[[BigBad Voldemort]] himself is one, born of the [[ChildByRape unwilling union]] of a witch and the Muggle man she drugged with LovePotions to [[StalkerWithACrush force him to fall in love with her]]]], as are (his mother was a witch and his father a Muggle) and Umbridge (although she denies it, especially since she's all for pureblood supremacy).

* This is SeriousBusiness in ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy''. Allomancy is exclusively hereditary and meant for the nobility only. Ska (commoner) allomancers represent the single most credible threat to the Final Empire, a regime that's hell-bent on maintaining a one thousand year MedievalStasis. The Empire is so serious about it that official policy is that if a known male Allomancer has sex with a ska woman (even by rape), she is to be executed, rather than run the risk of the union producing a child who can use Allomancy. Even so, a few get through, and their bloodlines can run dormant for generations. Protagonists Vin and Kelsier are ska Mistborn, the rarest and most powerful kind of Allomancer. They prove that the Final Empire's concerns were valid ones.
