* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' examples: [[Hot Scientist|Yui Ikari]], [[Mr. Exposition|Ritsuko Akagi]], ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'''s newest [[Ace Pilot]] [[Blood Knight|Mari Illustrious Makinami]] (though hers are blue-green) and ''[[Everything's Better
* Klaus von dem Eberbach of ''[[From Eroica
* Ginko from ''[[Mushishi]]'' has almost disturbingly vivid green eyes, especially in a world that doesn't make use of [[Mukokuseki]]. It's the first sign, [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|apart from his hair]], that he's not quite normal.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has Ayaka, to differentiate her from the rest of the (very brown-eyed) Japanese cast and Chachamaru, in a light, unnatural shade of emerald to emphasize her robotic nature.
Line 31:
* Maes Hughes; his wife, Gracia; and his daughter, Elysia, from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' all have green eyes. It seems to run in the family.
* Yomi and Dead Master from the ''[[Black Rock Shooter]]'' OAV; this may actually be an indicator of the [[Green-Eyed Monster]], despite the usual distance.
* James from ''[[Pokémon (
** As well as [[Curtains Match the Window|green-haired]] Cilan in ''Best Wishes'', although he's more noticeable for being one of only two characters in the show with [[Skintone Sclerae]]. He's one of Ash's most trustworthy friends in the series and just a bit [[Large Ham|hammy]] at times, but he has his [[Beware the Nice Ones]] moments.
** Though he was seen with [[Blue Eyes]] once, Gary Oak has been shown to have [[Green Eyes]] when they close up on them.
** Isamu and his Clefairy from ''[[Pocket Monsters (
* Cain's eyes in ''[[Godchild]]'' are described as emerald with gold in them and are seen as beautiful and mysterious.
* Many of the Grey Wolves in ''[[
* Hisoka of ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' has very striking ones. [[What Beautiful Eyes!]] comes into effect a couple of times.
* [[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch|Rina]] has these eyes while in mermaid form or [[Magic Idol Singer|idol form]]. In human form, she has [[Gray Eyes]].
Line 55:
*** And then there's his [[Opposite Sex Clone|female clone]]/daughter figure, [[X-23]], who also has green eyes.
* Catwoman has always had green eyes canonically, though she has been played by non-green-eyed actresses; she fits the concept to a "T", being mysterious and associated with cats. [[Batman|Poison Ivy]] does, too, but that's mostly because she's part plant.
** They aren't the only Batman characters with green eyes, either. With [[Depending
* [[Lex Luthor]] has green eyes. This served as a plot point when his doppelganger from another universe turned up dead: he was differentiated by having blue eyes. Luthor is also known to dope up on Kryptonite-based steroids, which make his eyes seem unnatural. And of course, [[Green-Eyed Monster|given Luthor's intense jealousy of Superman]], they're thematically appropriate.
** Oddly enough, Smallville gave Lex blue eyes (traditonally the color of Superman's eyes) and Clark's looked a lot greener.
Line 72:
** Scar from ''[[The Lion King]]'' is an example of the black hair + green eyes = evil combination.
*** Though his green eyes might have represented envy as well. Kovu, from the sequel, on the other hand, plays with it a bit. He's certainly feisty. At first, he also fits the untrustworthy role, considering that he was sent to kill Simba. Later, however, due to a [[Heel Face Turn]] thanks to [[The Power of Love]], he ends up genuinely wanting to join Simba's pride, therefore making him a traitorous and untrustworthy figure to the Outlanders. Later, said Outlanders ambush Kovu and Simba. And Simba is then convinced that Kovu led him into it.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|Doctor Calico]], the villain of the [[Show Within a Show]] from ''[[
* Esméralda from the Disney adaptation of ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' possesses the positive qualities and her name even means emerald.
** She, despite being the film's heroine, was actually also modelled after several female villains from earlier Disney films, who all have green eyes, so that she can actually be portrayed as evil by [[Complete Monster|Frollo]], the film's real [[Big Bad]], while to the viewers, she's actually on the side of good. This is actually done to show the fact that she is hated by the villain because he thinks that she is evil, even though she really isn't.
* Some of the Disney cats have green eyes, including Gideon from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'', Mittens from ''[[
** Lucifer from ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'' has green eyes with yellow sclerae (the whites of the eyes).
** Figaro from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' normally has [[Eyes of Gold]], but his eyes occasionally appear light yellowish-green.
* [[
** The only other blonde-haired, green-eyed Disney characters are Witch Hazel from the [[Donald Duck]] cartoon "Trick or Treat", Cody from ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'' and Madellaine from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]] II''.
* [[Megamind]]. Which also becomes a way of {{spoiler|telling it's him when he's sometimes disguised.}}
* Aisling from ''[[The Secret of Kells]]'' has green eyes, which fits the "magical" aspect of this trope since she's one of [[The Fair Folk]]. She's also something of a [[Nature Spirit]], being fiercely protective of the forest outside Kells.
Line 87:
* Irena Gallier in ''[[Cat People]]'', for which [[David Bowie]]'s eponymous song was written (see quote at top of page), has green eyes and is a werepanther. Her brother, however, also a werepanther, has [http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/161378/alex-de-large-bordered-31000.jpg violet eyes].
* In ''[[Big Trouble in Little China]]'', David Lo Pan, the Big Bad, has to sacrifice a woman with green eyes in order to undo a curse that keeps his true form immaterial. Un/Fortunately {{spoiler|the love interests of both the main protagonist and his kung fu buddy have green eyes, so they have to go defeat Lo Pan's crew in a wire-fight to the death.}}
* The Mad Hatter, in [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Alice in Wonderland (
* [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Commodore Norrington]]'s eyes, while not commented on, are quite green and expressive. Though his hair, however rarely it is seen, is dark.
** In contrast, POTC [[Fanfic]] writers ''frequently'' comment on Norrington's eye color. The preferred description, by far, is "emerald green".
* Loki, in the promotional material for ''[[Thor (
* In ''[[Rise of the Planet of
* DS Barbara Havers of ''[[The Inspector Lynley Mysteries]]''. True to type, she's both redheaded and a spitfire.
* In the film version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Pippin has green eyes.
Line 99:
* In a very famous Turkish novel called "Calikusu (lit. The Wren)" by Resat Nuri Guntekin, the heroine's unfaithful fiancé has alluring green eyes, which become a symbol for both his charm and his betrayal, as a foil to the ostensibly frivolous but deep down painfully loyal personality of his fiancée, who has [[Hazel Eyes]].
* [[Jane Eyre]] had green eyes. The morning after they first became engaged, Mr. Rochester paid her extravagant compliments, including that her eyes were "[[Hazel Eyes]]", which was followed in the exposition with "I had green eyes, reader; but you must excuse the mistake: for him they were new-dyed, I suppose."
* The Lady, [[Discworld]]'s goddess of luck, has eyes that are all green, edge to edge. (Although an illustration in [[Discworld
* The fact that [[Harry Potter]] and his mother, Lily, who had red hair, both have green eyes is emphasized repeatedly. [[Chekhov's Gun|With good reason]].
** In [[Harry Potter (
** {{spoiler|Albus Severus Potter, Harry's middle son, is described as the only one of his children to have inherited their grandmother's eyes, completing a rare triple-[[Generation Xerox]].}}
* The ''Sexton Blake'' stories feature [http://www.sextonblake.co.uk/plummer.html George Marsden Plummer], a recurring villain whose eyes turn green whenever he's excited or under stress.
* In [[Peter S. Beagle]]'s novel ''[[The Last Unicorn (
* Tavi of the ''[[Codex Alera]]'' has green eyes, although he is neither magical nor catlike. {{spoiler|By the end of ''Furies of Calderon'', so does Kitai, who is both.}}
* Percy from ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' has sea-green eyes, because he is the son of Poseidon. In fact, it seems to be fairly common in the series with a good portion of named characters having green eyes.
* According to Sax Rohmer, [[Fu Manchu]] has "long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green" -- which seems somewhat improbable for a Chinaman.
* Jasmine of ''[[Deltora Quest]]'' is described as having "almond-shaped green eyes", definitely fitting with her [[Raised
* The green eyes of Scarlett O'Hara (a classic vixen) in ''[[Gone
** Note that "green water" generally means you've got a dirty fish tank or your ship is in heavy seas. Probably counts as [[Did Not Do the Research]] on the author's part.
*** Actually, the fact that green water is a sign of a dirty fish bowl was probably another one of Rhett's backhanded compliments (of which there are countless). It's all a part of his and Scarlett's [[Slap Slap Kiss]]/[[Masochism Tango]] relationship. Mitchell also probably meant to compare Scarlett to the fishbowl--it looks clear and pretty, that green water, when it's, in fact, disgusting and filthy.
* Green eyes are a classic [[A Song of Ice and Fire|Lannister]] family trait, paired with lovely blonde hair. Lord Tywin has green eyes flecked with gold, his twin children, Cersei and Jaime, have matching emerald ones and Cersei's three children all inherited the emeralds -- understandable, considering {{spoiler|who their father truly is}}. Tyrion, [[The Unfavourite]] of Tywin's brood, has only one green eye; the other is black.
** The Lannisters aren't the only morally ambiguous people to have green eyes. Resident [[Magnificent Bastard]] Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish is frequently described as having "laughing grey-green eyes", which fits considering that {{spoiler|he cause an entire continent to go to war out of jealousy towards the man who married his childhood crush and his insatiable greed for wealth and power.}}
* Most of Firestar's family (and at least one other major bloodline) in ''[[
* The main characters in ''[[The 39 Clues]]'', [[The Smart Guy|Amy]] and [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Dan]] Cahill, are said to have jade green eyes.
* In ''[[
* In ''Sewer, Gas & Electric'', a racist-engineered plague was released to wipe out everyone of black African descent on Earth. Because the [[Complete Monster]] responsible suspected that he, too, might have a remote black ancestor, he designed it to spare anyone with green eyes like himself, regardless of ethnic background. After the plague ran its course, the only black people left were ones with green eyes, a miniscule fraction of the population.
* Briar (a plant mage) from the ''[[Circle of Magic]]'' series has green eyes. His student, Evvy (a stone mage), described him once as the "jade-eyed boy".
* [[Roger Zelazny]] loved putting green-eyed characters in his works. How much? It shows up in one fan's Roger Zelazny [http://where-there-had-been-darkness.blogspot.com/p/roger-zelazny-drinking-game.html drinking game].
* In [[Michael Flynn]]'s ''[[Spiral Arm
* Finny from ''[[A Separate Peace]]'' possesses a pair, empathising his free-spirited nature. [[Ho Yay|Gene is fond of]] [[What Beautiful Eyes!|pointing them out]].

* In the new series of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the main cast of the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams all have green eyes.
* [[
* Dean Winchester from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has green eyes and certainly fits the 'spitfire' characteristic to the letter.
* DS Barbara Havers of ''[[The Inspector Lynley Mysteries]]'' has a lovely and expressive pair of sage green eyes. Yes, she is a spitfire, and yes, she is a [[Fiery Redhead|redhead]].
* In the classic ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic]]'', Apollo is the only character in the main cast to have green eyes.
Line 146:
** Nick also has a song called simply "Green Eyes".
* When we [[Eyes Always Shut|finally see]] [[Blinding Bangs|Noodle's eyes clearly]] in the ''[[Gorillaz|El Manana]]'', they're bright green.
* The [[
* Dark Moor has a song called "Green Eyes".
* "Green Eyes" by Crucifixion.
Line 154:
== Video Games ==
* [[Alice in Wonderland
* Alex from ''[[Lunar:
** Which is a strange thing to say when you consider the fact that Dyne has ''brown'' eyes.
*** It's never actually stated that Dyne has green eyes in the game, though there is a line where one of the dragons tells Alex that he hasn't "seen eyes like those since Dyne." The line likely refers to the determination in Alex's eyes being like that of Dyne, rather than the eye color.
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] has intense green eyes. Older art pieces show Sonic originally had brown/black eyes. These changed to green when he became Super Sonic in the Genesis games.
** Rouge the Bat fits this trope very well [[Depending
* All the [[Metal Gear Solid|Snakes]] have green eyes. Solid Snake is paler than his father or his brothers and has an almost sage-green color, while Big Boss' is more blue-green. Liquid in the [[Updated Rerelease|Twin Snakes]] has the deepest shade. Notably, they're all considered sexy by people in and out of their games.
* Luke Fon Fabre and Asch from ''[[
* [[Ratchet and Clank]] has emerald eyes. Clank had teal-ish eyes until the Future Trilogy, throughout which he sported bright, lime-green eyes.
* In ''[[Sword of Mana]]'', main antagonist Julius has green eyes. Perhaps not surprisingly, he's a cheerfully [[Yandere]] [[Manipulative Bastard]] [[Deadpan Snarker]] who has [[The Virus|complicated]] [[The Woobie|issues]]. The same game also has a handful of heroic green-eyed blondes.
* No mention of [[Star Fox (
* Green eyes seem to be common in the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' universe, at least compared to the present day. ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' features Yeoman Kelly Chambers as Shepard's new personal assistant. She's a green-eyed redhead bombshell in [[Star Trek:
** Both the original and the new default for female Commander Shepard make her a green-eyed redhead.
* While it's not easy to see in the original ''[[
* A very different use of green eyes happens in ''[[Max Payne (
* All three main characters in ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' have green eyes of the same shade. In the first game, it was a hint that they are all blood related despite having different family names. Each of them has unnaturally high aptitude with armagus (although Ragna needs the titular BlazBlue).
* Parsee Mizuhashi has, by far, the most defined eye colour of any ''[[Touhou]]'' character, because she ''is'' the [[Green-Eyed Monster]].
* In ''[[Beyond Good
* Ishida Mitsunari from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' is the only character in the series with green eyes, which are light and almost yellow at times. With his white skin and hair, they look very striking and may represent envy or corruption.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', Rikku is the only Guardian in Yuna's pilgrimage to have green eyes. One of Yuna's heterochromatic eyes is green as well.

* ''[[Wooden Rose]]''
** [http://www.woodenrosecomic.com/comic/chapter1/19.html Mr. Thorne. With close ups to make it noticeable].
Line 196:

** Weirdly, ''all'' the non-Caucasian characters have green eyes and some even have [[Purple Eyes]].
* [[Super Mario Bros.|Luigi]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. (
* ''[[Exo Squad]]''. A minority of Neosapiens, most notably [[The Dragon|Battle Minister Typhonus]], have green eyes.
* Evangelyne from ''[[
* In the ''[[
* Flora from ''[[Winx Club]]'' has green eyes, which fits, seeing how she's the fairy of nature.
** Tecna has kinda green-blueish eyes as well.
* [[Planet Eater|Unicron]] from ''[[Transformers]]'', for some reason, has green eyes. Decepticons normally have red eyes.
** In ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'', when [[Big Bad|Megatron]] gets upgraded with the Armor of Unicron somewhere between the events of [[Transformers Energon|''Energon'']] and this show, his eyes turn green, just like, um, guess who.
* According to her driver's license, [[
* Beast Boy of ''[[Teen Titans (
** Jericho also has green eyes. They're the last thing you see before he takes you over.
* T.J. Detweiler from ''[[Recess]]'' had green eyes in the pilot (where everyone had a different character design). However, by the time the show premiered, he was given the standard black-on-white eye style (though, according to [[Word of God]], he has [[Blue Eyes]]).
