Line 27:
* Nei in ''[[Avenger]]'' has heterochromia to indicate that {{spoiler|she (or he, it ain't exactly clear, either) is both a [[Robot Girl]] and a real human. Well, actually, she/he is neither but has the potential to become one of the two.}}
* Sven from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' has one eye (his left) that's orange and one eye (his right) that's green. It's rather surprising that the green eye (which is a normal color for a human to have) is the special foreseeing eye, whereas the unusual orange colored eye doesn't have any powers.
** His mismatched eyes are also [[Justified Trope|justified]] in a
* In ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', Balalaika is occasionally shown with her right eye glowing yellow-ish.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Nenene]] and [[Handsome Lech|Toki]] from ''[[Code Breaker]]'' both have one blue and one brown eye. This almost gets Nenene killed when fire<s> bender</s> controller Oogami mistakes her for his despised teammate Toki {{spoiler|who is Nenene's long-lost brother. Nenene does not seem to notice the resemblance, even when Toki is standing in front of her while Sakura says "This is your brother!"}}
* {{spoiler|Jeremiah Gottwald}} in ''[[Code Geass]]'' ends up as this after he is made into a cyborg, with one orange eye and the replacement one being green. Arguably, Geass users as well, as when the [[Power Incontinence]] hits, it's usually only in one eye at first, meaning one eye will be its normal color, and the other will have the Geass symbol permanently imprinted on the iris.
* Almost-example: Spike's eyes on ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' are slightly different shades of brown. It's very hard, but possible, to notice this before he brings it up to Faye. The reason is that one is a [[Artificial Limbs|cybernetic replacement]] for an eye he lost in a very symbolic and personal tragedy.
** Spike's
** This feature was brought up rather explicitly in the climax of episode 20, "Pierrot le Fou", where it is revealed that {{spoiler|the cat that was present during the title character's horrific experiments (and was responsible for his [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|ailurophobia]]), had heterochromia, leading to him freezing up at a crucial moment during the final showdown with Spike due to the light making his cyber-eye glow in a similar fashion to the cat's, allowing Spike to defeat him}}.
* Allen Walker from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' has one gray eye and one [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red cursed eye]]. Note that his eye is only red when an Akuma is around, otherwise it is the same gray as the other.
Line 41:
* Urumi Kanzaki from ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' is heterochromatic and {{spoiler|was conceived via artificial insemination}}.
* Allelujah Haptism from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has a [[Gray Eyes]] and a [[Eyes of Gold|gold]] one. His hair always obscures one of the two, cluing any viewers into whether it is he or his evil [[Split Personality]] Hallelujah that is currently in control. {{spoiler|In the end, he ends up pulling his hair back to reveal both eyes, allowing both [[Split Personality Merge|personalities to simultaneously control his body, giving him the reflexes of two people]].}}
* Albireo from ''[[.hack//AI buster|.hack AI Buster]]'' has one blue eye and one gold, which has to do with his
* The [[Artificial Human]] [[Onmyodo|onmyouji]] Abe no Yasuaki and his [[Expy]] Abe no Yasutsugu from the ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'' series both have the light-brown/green combination. [[Fetish Fuel|Somebody must have a thing for this]], since the trend dates back to ''Haruka'''s [[Romance Game|sister franchise]] ''Angelique'' (see above).
** The fifth game in the series seems to be continuing the tradition with Amami (blue and purple). (It's a lot more obvious on Tohko Mizuno's illustration than on the CG image.)
Line 67:
* Ramses from ''[[Red River]]'' has one brown eye and one golden eye.
* In ''[[Rosario Plus Vampire]]'', we have something of a subversion with the villainous Kiria, who, while not sporting different colored eyes (at least, not to my knowledge. It's hard to tell in a black and white manga.) instead sports eyes with rectangular pupils. Normally this wouldn't qualify for this trope, except that one of Kiria's pupils is COMPLETELY PERPENDICULAR to the other.
* In ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' Suiseiseki has red and green eyes, and was originally nicknamed "Boatlights-chan" by fans before she became known as simply "[[Verbal Tic|Desu]]". Her twin sister Souseiseki, introduced later, has the same eye colors but reversed. Appropriately, they are [[
* ''[[Saint Beast]]'': Goh
* One of the characters of ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' has this, and {{spoiler|if Mihoko [[Eyes Always Shut|opens her right eye]] to reveal it to you during a Mahjong game, you could kiss your chances of winning goodbye}}.
Line 114:
== Films -- Animation ==
* Hiroyuki Morita's ''[[The Cat Returns]]''
* A nonhuman/humanlike appearance example: in Shane Acker's ''[[9|Nine]]'', the rims of [[Mad Oracle|6's]] lense eyes are mismatched in color (one is more gold-ish, while the other is a gray color.) [[Mad Eye|They're also different sizes.]]
* Brother Aidan's cat Pangur Ban from ''[[The Secret of Kells]]'', who has one blue eye and one green eye. The viewer may be interested to know that Aisling of [[The Fair Folk]] has green eyes, and human Brendan has blue.
Line 150:
* [[The Chosen One]] in the old fantasy magazine series ''[[The Ancestral Trail]]'' had one green and one grey eye. The green eye saw only good, the grey eye only evil.
* Candy Quackenbush from ''[[Abarat]]''.
* In the ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' sequel ''Anne's House of Dreams'', a pair of cousins have identical
* At the end of the fifth ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' novel, the titular character gets one of his eyes switched with another character as a result of interdimensional travel, leaving both with one blue and one hazel eye.
** Interestingly, two books prior in The Eternity Code, Artemis has this because of an iris cam.
Line 157:
* In the book ''[[The Wild Road]]'' one of the characters, Mousebreath, is a male Tortoiseshell cat with an orange eye and a blue eye.
* In Sarah Monette's ''[[Doctrine of Labyrinths]]'', the wizard Felix Harrowgate has one blue eye and one gold eye. The blue(?) eye is a result of an injury, so mostly blind. The colors give him no specific powers, but it does freak people out.
* The horribly inbred Martense clan from ''The Lurking Fear'' by [[H.P. Lovecraft]] all have this as a distinguishing mark. They have brown-and-blue eyes apparently. {{spoiler|This is the tip-off that the swarm of [[Humanoid Abomination
* In Kristin Cashore's ''[[Graceling]]'', all "Gracelings" have this as a distinguishing characteristic. It becomes important to the plot when you find out that {{spoiler|one of the kings is missing an eye, and it later turns out that he is Graced with a very effective version of [[Charm Person]], as it can work even second- and third-hand, via rumors}}.
* The [[Known Space]] novel ''Juggler of Worlds'' by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner reveals for the first time that Nessus, whom Niven created 41 years previously, has one red eye and one yellow eye. (Being a Pierson's Puppeteer, he has two heads with one eye each.)
Line 167:
* The evil sorceress Xayide has one red eye and one green in ''[[The Neverending Story (novel)|The Neverending Story]]''.
* Evil Diogenes Pendergast from the Agent Pendergast novels by Doug Preston and Lincoln Child, has one hazel eye and one pale blue eye. It's revealed late in the series that pigment loss in the blue eye is due to an injury which blinded him.
* One ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book has the main character's best friend be a girl with
* In the [[Roger Zelazny]] book ''This Immortal'', protagonist narrator Conrad Nomikos has
{{quote|I glare at people through the cold blue one on the right side when I want to intimidate them; the brown one is for Glances Sincere and Honest.}}
* In the ''[[Keys to the Kingdom]]'' series, The Old One has one gold eye and one black one.
Line 189:
* In one chapter of ''[[Goosebumps]]'' TV adaptation, there is a girl, best friend of the protagonist of that episode who has different coloured eyes, one blue and one in a darker greenish tone. That's because {{spoiler|she is in fact a huskie dog, and all the kids in town, protagonist included, were puppies genetically modified to become human}}.
* Lieutenant Aiden Ford of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' has one eye turn completely black due to an accident during a Wraith attack on the city. This same accident also got him hopped up on and addicted to [[Psycho Serum|Wraith enzyme]], causing him to go AWOL and hunt down the Wraith on his own.
* The 1999 ITV miniseries adaptation of ''[[Oliver Twist]]'' gave Edward "Monks" Leeford one brown eye and one blue eye. Funnily enough he was played by Marc Warren, who went on to play Jonathan
* From ''[[CSI]]'', {{spoiler|Lady Heather's daughter has one brown and one blue eye. This becomes a horrific plot point when the daughter becomes a victim of an insane Mengele wannabe who prefers his women with two blue eyes.}}
** "Ian Moone", a recent villain on the series, has one blue and one brown eye. In this case, it's presumably done to make him recognizable to the audience, as he wears a skin-tight bodysuit and full-face mask.
Line 250:
* Honoka Kawai from ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]] 2'' has a green right eye and a gray left eye.
* Michel from ''[[Pop N Music]]'' has a yellow right eye and blue left eye.
* It's possible to create Orc and Goblin characters with
* Yuber in ''[[Suikoden III]]'' has one red eye and one silver one. He's also not human.
* Ragna the Bloodedge of ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' has these to indicate that {{spoiler|he is half-[[Vampire]]. However, this only applies in one particular instance of the [[Stable Time Loop]]: in all others, including the one covered by the story, his changed eye, the red one, is linked to the function of his arm, the fake Azure Grimoire. When it stops working, so does his arm.}}
Line 273:
* In ''[[Tales of Graces]]'', this is a sign that {{spoiler|Lambda is inside somebody's body}}. It happens to Richard and later {{spoiler|Asbel}}, and this carries into [[Tales of Graces]] F. {{spoiler|When lambda is inside Richard, his other eye is [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]], but when it happens to Asbel, it's actually ''purple'', signaling that Lambda has a different relationship with Asbel than Richard.}}
* Vanessa of ''[[Luminous Arc]]'' has one grey/purple eye and one red one, but this doesn't seem to indicate anything beyond being just as loud and noticeable as the rest of her.
* GLaDOS from ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' is almost always given
* Ironhead from ''[[Swim Ikachan]]'' has a right red eye and a blue left eye, although you couldn't tell the latter's colour in his [[The Cameo|cameo appearance]] in ''[[Vieo Game/Cave Story|Cave Story]]'', since it can only be seen when he's facing left.
* Johnny Powell in ''[[The Darkness (video game)|The Darkness]] 2''. They're both blue, but his left eye's abnormal.
Line 298:
* Skye from ''[[Far Out There]]'' has one green eye and one purple one. In her case, the difference is quite practical: the purple one has [http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1068887/page-166-gosh-where-can-i-get-one/ x-ray vision.]
* Prism from ''[[Flaky Pastry]]'' has one violet eye and one cyan eye.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': Sollux has [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003971 one eye that's completely red and one that's completely blue], thus making him an example of both
** It's also been stated that [[Diabolical Mastermind|Lord]] [[Humanoid Abomination|English]]'s eyes are not only mismatched, [[Up to Eleven|they also switch around rapidly]] through the different pool balls to suit his pool motif. During one author-insert [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]], Andrew's [[The Neverending Story (film)|wish dragon]] also sports these.
** Vriska also has one normal eye and one eye with seven pupils arranged in a hexagon.
Line 312:
* Anibelle from ''[[The Wotch]]'' has one red eye and one green eye. Easiest to see in [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2007-01-24 this filler comic] done by a guest artist, but can easily be seen [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2008-08-12 normally,] too.
** Oddly enough, though, these clearly mismatched eyes weren't present in her appearances prior to that guest comic. Possible case of [[Ascended Fanon]]?
* Wally in ''[[Zebra Girl]]''. One reason for this may be
* Charlie of ''[[The Zombie Hunters]],'' a [[Half-Human Hybrid]] ''[[The Undead|Zombie]].'' has one normal, pale blue right eye, while the [[A Sinister Clue|left]] eye has a [[Black Eyes of Crazy|black sclera]] and a [[Glowing Eyelights of Undeath|glowing white]] iris, like those of [[Our Zombies Are Different|most other Zombies]]. He easily conceals it with a special contact lens.
* Kimiko of ''[[Dresden Codak]]'' has one brown natural eye and one blue mechanical eye as of the "Dark Science" arc, though originally her natural eye color was blue and thus the synthetic one matched when it originally showed up. Aaron Diaz retconned it so the synthetic one would stand out more.
Line 348:
* A few characters from [[Steven Spielberg]]-produced Warner Bros. cartoons have one pink eye and one bluish-green eye, namely Dizzy Devil from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' and Pesto from ''[[Animaniacs]]''.
* Dao long Wong in ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]''.
* Coldstone in ''[[Gargoyles]]'' is a slight
* Botanica in ''[[Beast Machines]]'' has one yellow and one cyan eye while in plant mode.
* Cyborg from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has one cybernetic red eye and one normal eye, which is dark blue.
Line 384:
* [[Catherine Tate]] has central heterochromia [http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5360/tateeyes.png as seen in "Turn Left"].
* [[David Bowie]] is often mistaken as having this. Actually, one eye is just permanently dilated, after he was punched in the face in a schoolyard fight.
* An episode of "Medical incredible" had an episode that included this. While one could not tell by looking at the boy, if you looked in photographs, he had
