Contrast subtrope WhiteSheep, where a family member is an outcast for not engaging in the family's poor behavior. An OddballInTheSeries is often called its "black sheep". The RemittanceMan is a specific example who mostly appears in TheWestern; an unwanted scion of a prominent European (usually British) family, sent overseas to make his fortune or to avoid scandal, and paid a regular sum of money (the "remittance") to stay there.

A Black Sheep is not just someone who doesn't fit in with the family -- it's someone who rejects their role in the family, either deliberately or not. Or possibly someone whose reputation or morality is at odds with the family reputation/morality because it makes them different from the rest of the family.
The Black Sheep might be TheUnfavourite but he can also be the Favorite instead. The latter case, of course, drives TheDutifulSon crazy as to why ''he's'' the favored one.
Sometimes the Black Sheep is ''really'' bad -- AKA a criminal. Other times a Black Sheep is just considered rebellious and might be a CoolBigSis or CoolUncle. On occasion, he is actually the DefectorFromDecadence. Often, he is a MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold.

In kids shows, there's a common Aesop where a Black Sheep from one of the kids' families will show up as either a CoolBigSis (or brother) or a CoolUncle. Often the Cool Relative will inspire emulation by all the kids in town (sometimes excepting only the kid who is actually related to him). Eventually this emulation gets the kids into trouble. Either the Black Sheep helps the kids out and then delivers the {{Aesop}} that they really don't want to be like him, or he reveals himself to be a {{Jerkass}} and leaves the kids in their mess (often to be saved by the one kid who didn't emulate the Black Sheep).
