Everyone buzzes about eye colors; they look good and they can be used to determine how a character might act like, but what about the rest of the eye? That's where this trope comes in, where characters can have vastly different pupil shapes and/or sclera colors, with the optional, but corresponding eye shadow. The reasons could vary from just being added level of exoticism, to a condition (sickness or otherwise), a reaction to something, or a way to identify that you're not entirely human. The iris' inclusion only counts if they ''intentionally'' [[Kaleidoscope Eyes|change color]] as a response to something.
Line 24:
* The characters in ''[[Xabungle]]'' all have minus-driver (flathead) screw pupils. Since both the Civilians and Innocents have them, it's a property of the inhabitants of this work's Zora (Earth).
* The Otherselves in ''[[Black★Rock Shooter (band)|Black★Rock Shooter]]'' have gear-like pupils. Probably something to do with their [[Blue and Orange Morality]].
