** When Sansa Stark is undercover and disguised as Littlefinger's bastard daughter "Alayne Stone," her cover story is that her mother was a Braavosi noblewoman who died giving birth to her and entrusted her to the Faith of the Seven (a religious order), and that she was raised by septas. Her "father" gives her some religious books to read and to quote from, commenting, "Nothing discourages unwanted questions as much as a flow of pious bleating."

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': This happens a lot, considering how many characters have to go undercover or hide their identities for one reason or another. With Westeros being such a big place and the only method of long-distance communication being pieces of paper carried by ravens, getting away with it is fairly easy.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', this gets Xavin into trouble during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''. Since they are a Skrull and their homeworld was destroyed in a war with Majesdane, the other Runaways can't verify any of their claims about their past or motives, and thus when the Skrulls suddenly invade and swarm on the Runaways' location, Nico and Victor naturally assume that Xavin must have been some sort of deep-cover operative.

* ''WebOriginal/TheAmericanDreamAnAmericanOfficerISOTedToTheRevolutionaryWar'' Samuel Kim claims his parents were slaves in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseon Joseon]] who fled their homeland shortly after he was born, never staying in one place for very long due to them being paranoid about slave catchers. They eventually died on the family's journey to America, and when their son arrived, he spent nearly ten years traveling the frontier alone. Of course this is all faked, since Kim cannot tell the general public of the late 1700s colonial America that he is actually a Korean-American from the modern century sent back in time.

She also claims at one point to be born into piracy -- which in itself is this too, since ParentalAbandonment runs rife in the dangerous world of piracy and it's rare for anyone born into such a perilous business to know both parents growing up.
