Blue Eyes: Difference between revisions

* Blue-eyed characters in ''[[Baccano!]]!'' usually fit into one of two groups: harmless and ([[Black and Gray Morality|relatively]]) innocent ([[The Ingenue|Eve]], [[The Ditz|Isaac]], [[Token Mini-Moe|Carol]], [[Damsel in Distress|Mary]]) or completely off their rocker ([[Ax Crazy|Ladd]], [[Mad Love|Lua]], [[Talkative Loon|Graham]], [[Psychopathic Manchild|Christopher]]).

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'': several characters, for various reasons. All three of the Gods (Athena, Poseidon, and Hades), Hyoga for being [[An Ice Person]], and most of the Gold Saints. Strangely adverted in the Manga with Aquarius Camus who, despite being [[An Ice Person]] as well, had red eyes.

* The Arume of ''[[Blue Drop]]'', natch. Since they're aliens, they get the glowing blue variant.

* Kiba's human form from ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' has eyes that look either blue (icy, piercing variant) or blue-gray. It denotes his [[Chosen One]] status, since the other wolves keep their [[Eyes of Gold|amber eye color]] even in human form.

* In Kate Griffin's ''[[Matthew Swift|A Madness of Angels]]'', much is made of Matthew's formerly dark eyes having changed to a bright, unsettling blue.

* In ''[[Mara Daughter of the Nile]]'', the titular character has blue eyes, which are extremely rare in [[Ancient Egypt]]. Most characters, including her love interest, see them as exotically beautiful, making them a type 1, but a few of the characters find them creepy or demonic.

* In [[Dune]], anyone exposed to the spice for long gains blue eyes with no scleras.

* Granny Weatherwax and Susan Sto Helit from ''[[Discworld]]'' have the piercing kind. Susan may have inherited them from [[The Grim Reaper|her grandfather]], although, in his case, they're a [[Glowing Eyelights of Undeath|blue glow within hollow eye sockets]]. Jonathan Teatime in ''Hogfather'' has ''one'' blue eye. With a pinpoint pupil. And he's completely [[Ax Crazy]].

* [[Mad Scientist|Ter Borcht]] in ''[[Maximum Ride]]'' has "pale, watery blue eyes"...and repeatedly states that the flock are overdue to be terminated.

* [[Professional Killer]] Anton Chigurh from ''[[No Country for Old Men]]'' has eyes that are described as the color of Lapis and are supposedly very unsettling.

* In C.S. Goto's ''[[Blood Ravens]]'' trilogy, Ahramin has burning blue eyes — burning with sorcery.

* In [[Tamora Pierce]]'s ''[[Tortall Universe|Provost's Dog]]'' series, Beka's ice-blue eyes are piercing, especially when she's angry.

** [[Kid Icarus|Pit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

** [[Metroid|Samus]] usually has the icy blue variant.

* Garrus Vakarian from ''[[Mass Effect]]'' has extremely pale blue eyes. Then again, he ''is'' an alien. Liara T'Soni has bright, innocent blue eyes, matching both [[The Ingenue|her personality]] and [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|her skin color]]. [[Player Character|Commander Shepard]], of course, can be customized to just about any eye color you want, including several shades of blue.

** Liara's eyes make for an interesting commentary on her alignment throughout the series. In the first game, she had the innocent blue variety, in stark contrast to her mother's darker, more piercing shade. In the second game, Liara's eyes become a darker but no less vibrant shade of blue, reflecting her hardening nature as she becomes more ruthless and vicious while hunting the Shadow Broker. It is most noticeable in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, where her face is visible without being lit by multiple orange holographic displays. However, if you carried a relationship over from the first game and re-established that relationship after the mission, she's back to the same baby blue she had before - perhaps reflecting your influencing her back to her old, optimistic worldview.

** Early teasers and concept art indicate that piercing, creepy blue eyes were a characteristic of Alex from his first incarnations onward. A trailer depicts his irises glinting from beneath his hood's shadow and his shapeshift sequence changing every aspect of his body but leaving his eyes until last.

* Lucifer Cyril of ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story]]'' has piercing, cold blue eyes.

** Carl and Tsubaki, however, have blue eyes by nature. Carl can be type two at times, but for the most part, both are the shining type one. Carl's sister, Ada, also had blue eyes (also type 1) before being turned into Nirvana.

* Tear and her brother, Van, from [[Tales of the Abyss]] are more of the piercing type. The former [[Defrosting Ice Queen|loosens up]].

* In ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'', all the Autobots have blue eyes, while all the Decepticons had [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]. ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'' continues this tradition, with a few exceptions (like [[Playing with Fire|Jetfire]], whose eyes are orange, and [[Honest John's Dealership|Swindle]], who has [[Purple Eyes]]).

* Bubbles from ''The [[Powerpuff Girls]]'' has [[Innocent Blue Eyes|innocent light blue eyes]] and Boomer, her [[Evil Twin]], has darker blue eyes.

* Cheatball (the Cheat's anime alter-ego) from ''[[Homestar Runner]]''.

* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'': [[Legacy Character|Kid Flash]] was portrayed with blue eyes, like in the [[DCAU]]. It's in stark contrast to his comics depictions, where he's a [[Significant Green-Eyed Redhead]].
