* [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid Rene]][[CreepyChild smee]]]] from ''{{Twilight}}'' is a {{canon}} example, although YourMileageMayVary.

* Another canon example is ''HarvestMoon: Animal Parade''. Your children will be a mix of you and your spouse--they have your face and features, but your spouse' hair and eye color.

* Averted hard in ''Freefall''. "Aww. kids are so cute when they're still young enough to believe that all mammals have the same number of chromosomes."

* Bizarre canon example from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'': Vivio, adopted daughter of [[HasTwoMommies Fate and Nanoha]], looks like a perfect mix of her mothers features. For one, her blond hair is darker than Fate. However her BoatLights are Red and [[color:green GREEN]], while Nanoha is [[color:purple PURPLE]], [[spoiler:[[EpilepticTrees which makes you wonder if Yuuno's]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext design somewhat involved, darker blond hair and green eyes by the way]]]].

* Bizarre canon example from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'': Vivio, adopted daughter of [[HasTwoMommies Fate and Nanoha]], looks like a perfect mix of her mothers features. For one, her blond hair is darker than Fate. However her BoatLights are Red and GREEN, while Nanoha is PURPLE, [[spoiler:[[EpilepticTrees which makes you wonder if Yuuno's]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext design somewhat involved, darker blond hair and green eyes by the way]]]].

* Bizarre canon example from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'': Vivio, adopted daughter of Fate and Nanoha], looks like a mix of her mothers. Her MismatchedEyes are even in their colors (though her right "Nanoha" eye is more green than blue).

* Another canon example is ''HarvestMoon: Animal Parade''. Your children will be a mix of you and your spouse.

Of course, even ''this'' is beyond the grasp of certain fans, and thusly they just begin mashing up traits of the two parents. Two-toned hair? Sure! Also add in a [[BoatLights different-colored eye from each parent]]! And why wouldn't AliceAndBob name their child [[PortmanteauCoupleName Balice]]?

* In ''HanamaruKindergarten'', Sakura has blonde hair and Tsuchida has black heir, [[SarcasmMode as expected]], their daughter Anzu's hair is blonde in the front and black in the back.

* In ''[[TheLittleMermaid The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea]]'', Melody was made by taking a picture of Ariel and adding a couple of Eric's traits, such as dark hair. To be fair, it makes genetic sense for Melody's hair to be dark, as well.

** Ruby Summers, the possible future daughter of [[{{XMen}} Scott Summers and Emma Frost]], can transform into a diamond that looks red because of her optic blasts that actually look black.

* Bizarre canon example: Vivio, adopted daughter of [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Fate and Nanoha]], looks like a mix of her mothers. Her MismatchedEyes are even in their colors (though her right "Nanoha" eye is more green than blue).

* In ''[[KimPossible Kim Possible]]'' fan fiction, when the parents are Kim and her rival [[FoeYay Shego]], having children with green skin and red hair, black hair with a red streak, plasma powers, or cutting out Kim's genetics altogether and making them [[GenerationXerox clones of Shego]] is very common.

* CoriFalls loves this trope. Jessie and James's kids are not only basically clones of their parents, but the youngest daughter has her mother's love of sweets and the son wants to be an artist like his father. Jessie herself is a mishmash of her mother and father in both looks and personality.

* With TengenToppaGurrenLagann, fans are very fond of giving [[OfficialCouple Simon and Nia's]] child Nia's [[TechnicolorEyes eyes]]. Fanart tends to make fans cry, since [[spoiler:Simon and Nia never got a chance to have children]].
* Fans of the {{Super Smash Bros}} series or Nintendo in general have done this with various parings, most of them from male/male pairings. [[http://smash-children.deviantart.com/gallery/ Here are various examples.]]
[[AC:AnimeAndManga]]
* In HanamaruKindergarten, Sakura has blonde hair and Tsuchida has black heir, [[SarcasmMode as expected]], their daughter Anzu's hair is blonde in the front and black in the back.

* LateNight with ConanOBrien had a recurring bit called "what if they mated", in which images of a celebrity couple are combined into NightmareFuel.

* In OrderOfTheStick, Elan inherited his outlook (and alignment) from his mother and his love of the dramatic from his father. His EvilTwin Nale gets his outlook from his father and his love of the needlessly complicated from his mother. They both inherited their father's hairstyle and mother's hair colour.

* In {{Shrek}}, [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction Dragon and Donkey]] fall in love, Shrek 2 introduces their children, the dronkeys.

Of course, certain fans have seemed to miss out on this concept, and as such make children that simply [[StrongFamilyResemblance resemble one, or both, of the parents]], with no original or unexpected traits. This may carry over to things like hairstyle, personality traits, and [[LamarckWasRight talents]].

* Bizarre canon example: Vivio, adopted daughter of Fate and [[MagicalLyricalGirlNanoha Nanoha]], looks like a mix of her mothers. Her MismatchedEyes are even in their colors (though her right "Nanoha" eye is more green than blue).

[[caption-width:200:Congratulations! It's a... something!]]

* ''KingdomHearts'' fans have crafted [[http://kendostick.deviantart.com/art/KH-roxel-and-soriku-48761572 Roxel]], the [[MPreg child of the both very male Roxas and Axel]]. He has a lot of interesting traits, by which I mean that he has a lot of Roxas and Axel's traits. Just kind of... smashed together. During the year or so after ''[[KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts 2]]'' came out, that thing was all over [[DeviantART deviantART]]'s front page; every other day you'd see fanart of him there. It got annoying very quickly.
