A character grows up being oblivious to the fact that they're not the biological child of one or both their parents. Then comes The Reveal: the character's parent(s) finally tell them the truth about their parentage. The reasons for keeping this a secret vary; perhaps the parents felt the child was not ready to hear the truth (especially if their biological family or the circumstances of their birth are profoundly unpleasant), maybe it was to protect them, they could've sworn to the birth parent(s) not to reveal the truth, or a combination of these things.
