What Beautiful Eyes!



"In your eyes

The light, the heat

In your eyes

I am complete"

- Peter Gabriel, "In Your Eyes"

This is where a character has very unique, "beautiful" eyes. These eyes are one of their main defining characteristics, and many people become enamored with them because of it. Maybe their eyes are an unusual color, or perhaps it's a very piercing, striking hue of a color. Or possibly, their eyes have very pure, untainted emotion inside that other people can clearly see. Whatever the reason, these eyes will be known for being gorgeous and special. In fact, characters will many times come out and tell them that their eyes are beautiful. Occasionally, the character themselves will hate their own eyes because it makes them "different."

"The eyes are the window to the soul" may be a factor.

Warning: Possible sign of a Mary Sue. Be very careful if you want to make that a character trait for one of your own creations.

See also Gaussian Girl, a type of picture that emphasizes the eyes. This trope is the bolder cousin to When She Smiles. The page name isn't meant to imply a threat. Probably.

 * Recent anime puts this on Nobita too on the rare case that he doesn't wear glasses. He got it from his mother instead of his father's dotted eyes.
 * Train from Black Cat has yellow, cat-like eyes. In the anime, both Saya and Creed tell him repeatedly that his eyes are so beautiful. And they both fell for him.

 * Sousuke from Full Metal Panic- see the picture. Although their color isn't unique, he does have big, pretty Gray Eyes, which were especially noticeable when he was a child. Gauron became enamored with him initially because of his eyes. To quote Gauron: "Anyone would say they're beautiful."
 * Tsuzuki from Yami no Matsuei has Purple Eyes. Muraki constantly reminds him of how much he loves those beautiful eyes, telling him that he fell in love with him at first sight when he saw his eyes in a photo. Tsuzuki, on the other hand, hates them.

 * This is why Nanoha decided to befriend Fate in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. She was fascinated by her "beautiful sad eyes" and wanted to help her. But Fate being the bad guy meant she wasn't going to open up and start chatting, so Nanoha decided she would get powerful enough to beat her so that she would tell her why she's sad so Nanoha could fix it.
 * Their daughter Vivio seems to be going down a similar route in Vi Vid with a sparring session that had Vivio commenting to herself about Einhart Stratos' eyes, except they're not quite as aggressive against each other as Nanoha and Fate were... yet. Einhart's disappointed when Vivio doesn't try her hardest during their fight.
 * Yuki Nagato in Suzumiya Haruhi. Kyon does mention her eyes at times, often saying they look like liquid helium. In the anime, no other character has so many close ups of their eyes as Yuki. Yeah, she got pretty eyes. Don't ask why Kyon reflects in it, though.
 * Kyon himself, acording to

Currently, the only survivor of the clan is Kurapika, who has to hide his eyes using plain contacts so no one knows he's one.

Later in chapter 7 when Sakuya reveals to Aine how his blue eyes are connected to his Dark and Troubled Past, Aine hugs him and reassures him "I love your blue eyes! Beautiful, clear, straightforward...I love them!"

When Guts and Casca "formally" meet the next morning (with a punch from her), he instantly recognizes her eyes.
 * In Fate Zero, one of the things that keys Irisviel in about Lancer's identity (Diarmuid Ua Duibhne of the Love Spot) is the "impressive brilliance" of his eyes seems to be accentuated a little too well by that Beauty Mark of his, as if magic had some hand in it.

Comic Books

Film
"Sid: You have beautiful eyes.\"

 * Jokingly told to Manfred by Sid in the first Ice Age movie.

Manfred: Get off my face! ""I know a girl there. She's the daughter of a sea captain. She had the most beautiful, Green Eyes. The greenest eyes I ever saw. Like yours. When I stared deep into them, they'd just change color in front of me. All the colors of the sea.""
 * Parodied in Short Circuit 2. Benjamin attempts to use this line (on the advice of his self appointed business partner) but gets it wrong since she has brown eyes and he uses a stock line which specifically mentions blue.
 * Bambi's big, innocent eyes. In fact, it managed to spur the creation of the phrase "Bambi Eyes," which describes someone's eyes as being huge and innocent.
 * In Escape From LA, the freaky Surgeon General of Beverly Hills looks deep into Snake Plissken's eye and says breathlessly: "What a beautiful blue eye - a pity there's only one..." Granted, since Snake Plissken is where Naked Snake was made an Expy from, it makes sense that this would be something they have in common.
 * In the 2007 remake of Three Ten to Yuma, Ben Wade tells this to Dan Evans' wife while flirting with her. She ends up becoming rather... bewitched by him after he says this to her, which ends with Dan pretty much coming over and getting alarmed about WTF Ben Wade is doing with his wife.


 * Said by Dame Vaako about Riddick's eyes.
 * In Memoirs of a Geisha, Sayuri's eyes are what captivates many other characters. When the Chairman asked her where she got them, she explained that she got them from her mother.

 * Alisa, the heroine of Guest From the Future, has stunning blue eyes that fascinated many a viewer. These really are the eyes of the actress Natalia Guseva.

Literature

 * Roland Deschain's eyes are described as preternaturally blue, clear and murderous. They're also too finely tuned to see the picture on a TV screen.
 * Sayuri/Chiyo's blue-grey eyes in Memoirs of a Geisha are given a lot of focus. Many characters describe them as rather startling, that they're the first thing that captures your attention. That they're like "the color of a mirror" and that you could easily see yourself in them.
 * Besides the lightning shaped scar, Harry Potter's most notable and frequently commented on physical trait is his green eyes, which he got from his mother, Lily. Pretty much everyone remarks about it.
 * To add to the Harry Potter example, in the epilogue
 * Also of note is the fact that Harry finds Ginny's brown eyes to be very beautiful.
 * Griet's eyes from Tracy Chevalier's book Girl With a Pearl Earring appear to have an entrancing affect on a few characters, all who say something along the lines of: "You have very wide eyes." They're given a lot of attention in the book, also being described as "quite luminous", like "liquid were spilling into them". In the movie version, Scarlett Johansson plays Griet, and her bright green eyes are shown often in close up. They really are very beautiful eyes, to be honest.
 * Bella makes much of Edward Cullen's eyes in Twilight. They're an especially good example because they change color (gold to black) according to how HUNGRY he is...and since his vampire thirst for blood is conflated with his lust for Bella, it sometimes has to do with how turned on he is too.
 * Also, Bella herself is insecure about her big, beautiful, chocolate brown eyes though Edward finds them fascinating. She loses them when she becomes a vampire, but not before she passes them on to baby Nessie.
 * Bella's actress actually did that same thing in Zathura, when their house flying in space picks up a stranded astronaut, and she spends a moment or so gazing into his eyes.

 * He's not described as beautiful, but Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is only ever portrayed through the eyes of others, gets his intimidating glowing red eyes mentioned a lot by the Imperials working under him. His eyes and blue skin, both standard for his species, set him very much apart from the almost exclusively human Empire, and they certainly don't hurt his reputation.
 * Flim, the Con Man who impersonates Thrawn in the Hand of Thrawn duology, mostly uses makeup, but imitates his eyes using "self-powered surface inserts". Just like with the real thing, he is never the viewpoint character and his eyes get mentioned more often than any other feature.
 * In Death Star, there's a Zelosian character, a very human-looking plant alien with green eyes described as remarkable and gorgeous. By his love interest, admittedly.
 * In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy slowly finds himself being more and more attracted to Elizabeth, starting with her beautiful eyes. "No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes." Along with mentioning them yet again in his conversation with Miss Bingley: "I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
 * Anne from Anne of Green Gables. Countless times, her grey eyes have been described as "shining" and "glowing" through the eyes of other people. And in Gilbert's case, he immediately got a crush on her when he first saw her during her first day at school, wanting that girl with "the big eyes that weren't like the eyes of any other girl in Avonlea school" to pay him some attention instead of ignoring him.
 * In The Snow Goose, Fritha is utterly ordinary except for her violet eyes. She is the only one to befriend a crippled artist.
 * Subverted somewhat in Dostoevsky's The Idiot with the character of Mrs. Epanchin -- "her gray, rather large eyes sometimes had a most unexpected expression. She had once had the weakness of believing that her gaze produced an extraordinary effect; that conviction remained indelible in her", and she carries on melodramatically flashing her eyes when she tries to have influence over someone.
 * Among other things, Humbert gives a lot of attention to Lolita's beautiful gray eyes.
 * Action Girl Brienne of Tarth is infamous for being ugly... except for her gorgeous Blue Eyes.
 * Also in A Song of Ice and Fire, the Targaryen dynasty in general are famous for their beautiful Violet Eyes, and for just being generally gorgeous.
 * Garath Bryne chased after an oath breaking Siuan Sanche in The Wheel of Time, ostensibly because he wanted to know why she had broken such a strong oath, but his narration includes several references to her pretty blue eyes which suggest another reason.
 * Many characters in JRR Tolkien's Legendarium are notable for their clear, light filled grey eyes. The fact that Edith Tolkien was a dark haired grey eyed beauty may have had something to do with this.

 * Several characters in Beyond the Western Sea think about how beautiful and fascinating Maura's Blue Eyes are.
 * Drizzt Do'Urden's purple eyes fascinate others from the moment of his birth, including his sister, who gets a little too fascinated. They remain one of his most distinctive and remarked-upon traits; even when he's disguised as a surface elf, his eyes stay the same colour.
 * An extra drow example would be Liriel Baenre, whose golden/amber eyes are commented upon - she even catches a ball of faerie fire and turns it a matching colour for fun as a child, to her father's surprise.
 * A Wrinkle in Time: The first time Calvin O'Keefe sees Meg Murry without her glasses, he tells her to go right on wearing them because he doesn't want anyone else to see what "dreamboat eyes" she has. The characters wind up married (although not in that specific book).
 * In The Bible, Leah is described as having "weak" eyes. The word, however, may more accurately be translated as "delicate," "lovely," or "gentle," to present her greatest asset before comparing her to her younger sister Rachel.
 * In One Hundred Years of Solitude, Little Remedios has very pretty Green Eyes. Similarly, one of The Seventeen Aurelianos (Aureliano Amador) also has striking Green Eyes, contrasting with his extremely dark skin.
 * The first thing that Fernanda notices when she sees Mauricio Babilonia is how he possesses deep and soulful Brown Eyes (which the narrative points out as possibly hinting at him being a descendant of the Roma groups that often pass by Macondo.) Subverted in how the effect lasts just for a second and she throws him out of the Buendia home.
 * Similarly to Aureliano Amador, 's son in Like Water for Chocolate is a dark-skinned young boy with stunning Blue Eyes.
 * In Tales of Kolmar, Akhor the Lord of the Kantri has Green Eyes which aren't seen as particularly remarkable by his own Kindred, but humans find them fascinating and hypnotic - "the eyes of a dragon are perilous deep". When he becomes human at the end of the first book he keeps the eyes, and it's repeatedly remarked on that they are still startling, and can show the weight of his long life.

 * Since Clare's main change in Season 10 of Degrassi was losing her glasses, most compliments to her have had to do with her eyes. First from Alli when Clare was thinking about getting the eye surgery, later that same story her first meeting with future boyfriend Eli was punctuated with him telling her that "she had pretty eyes." Fiona uses the same line when she shows up drunk to lunch with Clare. Aislinn Paul has very distinctive blue eyes.
 * Suzanne Sugarbaker (Delta Burke) of Designing Women has really blue eyes with a catlike shape to them.
 * According to Burke's biography, when her mother first saw her eyes, they reminded her of her pet cat, Delta, and thus Delta came to be named Delta Ramona Leah Burke.
 * Parodied in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody when Cody is dating a French girl, with Mr. Moseby as his translator. They're at a loud club, and Cody tells Mr. Moseby to tell his date that her eyes are beautiful. He can't hear, so Cody says it again. Mr. Moseby still can't hear, so Cody says, with the entire club watching, "YOUR EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL!!" Being the Deadpan Snarker he is, Mr. Moseby reacts as so...


 * In Wizards of Waverly Place, Harper (that is in Alex's body and has a huge crush on Justin) tells Justin that she might faint because he is staring at her with those eyes. David Henrie's eye color is quite ambiguous and really enthralling, as it can be seen from many close-ups.

Music

 * Taylor Swift's song "Beautiful Eyes." The narrator never actually says what makes the eyes beautiful. However, she does repeatedly call them beautiful, and says she'll dream about them.
 * Another Taylor Swift song, "Teardrops On My Guitar," mentions this. The narrator mentions that she hopes the girl Drew likes "Look[s] in those beautiful eyes and know[s] she's lucky..."

 * The glowing eyes thing is a trait shared by all members of Soldier (Shinra's Elite troops/ super-soldiers) due to being injected with Mako to enhance their abilities. The game's villain Sephiroth has them as well, though they just make him look creepy.

 * One-upped by Zack Fair, whose eyes literally glow blue. Aren't they just something?
 * In particular Aerith at one point describes them as "wide and beautiful like the sky".

 * Big Boss (Naked Snake) from Metal Gear Solid 3, who has . Brought up in-game by Volgin, who angrily orders The Boss to blind him. "Cut out his eyes! I don't like those blue eyes of his. There is nothing more important to a soldier than his eyes." The fact that Volgin notices that Big Boss' eyes are such an asset (to the point that he knows it would be the ultimate torture to take it away) says something. As are everyone else's horrified reactions to it.

 * In Kohaku's route of Tsukihime when goes Yandere, Shiki has to fight her to save Kohaku and uses his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception on her. Her reaction? "What beautiful... blue eyes."
 * Which is actually rather disturbing, since when almost anyone else sees his eyes they're terrified. Which is understandable, because they look pretty much evil.
 * It's less obvious in Tsukihime, since you never get to see Shiki's eyes, but in Kara no Kyoukai, the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" are indeed, quite beautiful.
 * Rin of Katawa Shoujo


 * Shizune's "deep and alluring blue eyes" also qualify
 * Incidentally, both Saber and Ilya often get loving descriptions of their eyes in Fate/stay night. Tohsaka's eyes are quite pretty as well, but this isn't commented on as much.
