I feel like BecomingTheParent would be a better title than the current quote-like working one...

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': Liara T'Soni's character arc ends up very much like her mother, Matriarch Benezia. Like Benezia, she starts off as a rather naive and idealistic individual, but is swept into the entourage of a larger-than-life SPECTRE agent (Saren in Benezia's case, Shepard in Liara's) who does whatever it takes to win the impending RobotWar, and eventually becomes a ruthless and calculating crime lord utterly devoted to her leader's cause. Of course, Liara's case is much milder, since it involves far less Reaper indoctrination, so she ends up better off than her mom.
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'': In the ''Burial at Sea'' DLC, Elizabeth pursues revenge upon [[spoiler:Comstock with such ferocity, she fails to notice when she herself becomes very much like him. Since Comstock is just an alternate version of her own father, she is appalled by her apparent adoption of Comstock's ways over Booker's and resolves to sacrifice herself to right some of the wrongs she did -- just like Booker did in the original game in order to redeem himself before her.]]
