Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Someone is adopted, but isn't aware of it, even though it's quite obvious that they were adopted.
* '''Straight''': Bob is the TokenHuman in a family of [[CatFolk humanoid tigers]], but [[InterspeciesAdoption isn't aware that he's actually a human who was adopted by them]]. He's very surprised when he finds out.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Bob is adopted by a race of [[EldritchAbomination completely incomprehensible monsters]] and is extremely surprised when he finds out he isn't one, despite all of the magic abilities that he ''should'' realistically have if he were an eldritch being.
** All of the BeastMen in town have adopted humans, and they all get very shocked when they learn that they aren't part of the family.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob has some suspicions that he may not be related to his family by blood, but doesn't dwell on it much.
** Bob has actually been raised by other relatives besides his parents for all of his life; he just doesn't know.
