The [[Red Right Hand|treatment of albinism in fiction]] is often [[Acceptable Targets|startlingly harsh]]. The condition seems to have been declared officially creepy with ''[[Moby Dick]]''. The most common depiction of people with albinism in fiction is that of the inimical, violent villain, especially the hitman, assassin, sociopath or crime boss. A whole lot of them have names or nicknames that reference their albinism, if a name beyond "The Albino" is even bothered with. This should tell you about where this trope falls on the Sliding Scale of Creativity.

Notable aversions and subversions of this trope should be listed under [[Heroic Albino]].
{{examples}}
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Kaworu from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is frequently assumed to be an albino. Some artists hypercorrect this aspect in fanart: white vs blue hair, red eyes vs blue eyes. The original character designer tends to use one when he thinks it looks cool, Hideaki Anno [[Jossed|nixes the idea]] (re: Kaworu and Rei) that's anything more than [[Captain Obvious|cueing the audience they're odd characters]], and show up well in animation.
* Angelo Sauper from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]]''.
* Accelerator {{spoiler|([[Heel Face Turn|formerly]])}} from ''[[
* In a sense, Enishi from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]''. {{spoiler|He's not properly an albino as he had black hair as a kid, but it turned white after his beloved sister was killed.}}
* Dilandau from ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'' is one of the greatest examples in anime. It's a shame that Bat Shit Insane Albino isn't a trope.

== Fan
* Widget Hackwrench, from the ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' fanfic "[[The Nowakverse|Under the Bridge]]" (part 1 msted [https://web.archive.org/web/20101221201017/http://svamcentral.org/ewic/mstings/Bridge1.txt here]), was Gadget Hackwrench's twin sister, born albino and missing an arm, and dropped from an overpass by Monterey Jack when she was a baby. She was "raised" by an abusive street mother who called her "Li'l Freako" and used her to get handouts before ODing, and had to fend for herself on the streets, building her own artificial limb. Thus, she comes to obsessively hate her more fortunate sister Gadget ({{spoiler|before eventually having a [[Heel Face Turn]]}}). Yes, it's a [[Darker and Edgier]] version.
