* Idol series Franchise/{{Tsukiuta}}'s ChivalrousPervert and MrFanservice You Hazuki is the third son of the head monk of a Buddhist temple in the very traditional town of Nara.

** Eli from the BooksOfSamuel was a renowned priest and judge. His two sons by birth were [[SinisterMinister corrupt ministers]] who had respect "neither for the Lord; nor for the priests' duties for the people; they treated the offerings to the Lord with disdain" (1 Samuel 2:12b,13a,17b). The priesthood eventually went to the [[HappilyAdopted adopted]] son for whom the book is named.
** Also, the very first High Priest, Aaron (the brother of Moses), had two of his sons mess up in some way (Leviticus 10:1,2). The immediate pronouncement of a decree from YHWH about not drinking "wine or strong drink" when doing priestly duties has led some scholars to speculate that alcohol may have been involved.
** Apparently a real problem with the holy men of ancient Israel, as Samuel's kids also went bad (1 Samuel 8:2,3). While we don't know any details about exactly what Samuel's sons had done, it was clearly bad enough that people didn't want any of them to succeed their father as a judge. And thus, it was time for them to get their first king...

Note that Roman Catholic[[note]]More precisely Latin Rite priests, as like their Orthodox colleagues, Eastern Catholic priests are allowed to have gotten married prior to ordination, thus able to have children; the same applies to Latin rite priests with special dispensations or who were widowers upon studying for the priesthood. This does not appear much in media, though, because most Catholic priests are Latin Rite [[/note]] priests are supposed to be celibate (as opposed to most Protestant and Orthodox Churches), so any examples from that denomination are going to be of necessity [[BastardBastard illegitimate]]. If the writer doesn't want to go down that route, one can either (a) substitute the Catholic for an Anglican (who are, in the words of the late Anglican Creator/RobinWilliams "Catholic Lite") or (b) substitute a deacon for a priest (married Catholic men are allowed to become deacons--indeed, most deacons who aren't in training for the priesthood are married--and deacons are held to a similar standard of conduct as priests).

If you're a preacher's kid in fiction, you're either a perfect little angel or--more commonly--a beastly little devil more devoted to mischief and/or promiscuity than any kind of religious study. Bonus points for [[DevilInPlainSight being the latter while people think you're the former]], an ability no doubt gained from your years of living under a household where learning to hide your extracurricular activities proves to be a tad bit more important than mathematics. It also is easy to be bad if your ordained parent is a SinisterMinister.

* In TheBible, Jewish priesthood is passed from father to son, and still is today (note that this is separate from being a ''rabbi,'' which isn't). Thus, any good ''kohen'' counts as this trope.

* ''Film/{{Footloose}}'' provides an example of this with Ariel Moore who rebels against the town's and her father's rules against dancing, alcohol, controversial books, etc, but at her core is a genuinely good person, and her rebellious attitude is implied how she copes with [[spoiler: the loss of her older brother]].

* Kyoko Sakura from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' was angelic until her father committed PaterFamilicide and she became cynical, but nowhere near as mind-blowingly diabolical . She goes back to being angelic after [[spoiler:Kyubey lets slip the AwfulTruth about Puella Magi.]]

* ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' has both [[PolarOppositeTwins Rin and Yukio]], who although adopted, still consider Catholic priest Fujimoto their rightful father. ([[AntiAntiChrist Their biological father is Satan]].) [[HotBlooded Rin]] appears to be the rebellious kind at first, with [[BadassBookworm Yukio]] taking the foil as his angelic counterpart. But shortly after the series starts, it's made clear that both boys are just trying to help the people they care about, and Rin starts to look less like a delinquent and more like a [[TheBigGuy brash optimist]] determined to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulu punch out Cthulhu]]. [[spoiler:Yukio also starts to look less angelic as more of his hidden insecurities reveal themselves.]]

%%* Dane O'Neill, of ''Literature/TheThornBirds'' fits into this category, subverted somewhat, because he is unaware of his parentage.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Toki Wartooth hits both ends of the spectrum. He's the most innocent, childish, and kind-hearted member of his group... then again, his group are world-famous death-metal rock stars, and he is prone to increasingly frequent {{Freak Out}}s and bouts of UnstoppableRage.
