Line 8:
Kind Red Eyes could belong to a [[Heroic Albino]], but just as often they belong to a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire]], or may even be a literally ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Red]]'' [[Red Herring|Herring]]. Sometimes they're just pretty, or colorful, and don't have any relevance to the story.
 
A subtrope of [[Technicolor Eyes]]. Contrast [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]], with which it can ''occasionally'' overlap (especially if a character is a [[Tsundere]] or [[Badass]]). In short, the character's eyes may be red, but their eye color's lack of villainous connotation is played absolutely straight. If the character is a [[Red Headed Heroine]], expect [[Curtains Match the Window]].
 
There are two types of these:
Line 63:
 
 
=== Comic Books ===
* The [[Justice League Ofof America|Martian Manhunter]] is often depicted with red eyes, and he's the soul of the team.
* In James Swallow's ''Warhammer 40000'' ''[[Blood Angels (Literature)|Blood Angels]]'' novel ''Black Tide'', Kilian's eyes are commented on as dark red -- shortly after he has helped saved the lives of Rafen, Tarikus, and Vetch.
* [[Giant Flyer|Skybaxes]] in ''[[Dinotopia (Literature)|Dinotopia]]'' usually have yellow or red eyes. This trope is perhaps best exemplified by [http://kittiara.deviantart.com/art/Building-Trust-168608248 this fanart].
* In ''Pretties'' (of the ''[[Uglies]]'' series), Shay actually HAS RUBIES IN HER EYES.
* Hestia from the ''[[Percy Jackson And The Olympians]]'' books literally has eyes of fire, but they have the effect of a cozy fireplace.
 
 
=== Cartoons ===
* A few of the titular characters in ''[[My Little Pony]]''. No, despite what [[Dark Fic|some cynical websites will tell you]]; they aren't demonic.
* Sari Sumdac of ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. {{spoiler|This changes when she discovers she's techno-organic and upgrades herself using her key. From then on, her eyes are blue like other Autobots, although in her "human Mode" the different shades of blue are flipped around.}}
** The Maximals from ''[[Beast Wars]]''.
* Actually subverted and turned into an example of [[Red Eyes Take Warning]] with the villains of the ice-skating episode of ''[[Tuff Puppy]]''.
 
 
=== Comics ===
* The [[Justice League Of America|Martian Manhunter]] is often depicted with red eyes, and he's the soul of the team.
** [[Teen Titans|Miss Martian]] has the same thing going for her, being a [[Distaff Counterpart]] to the Manhunter from Mars.
* [[X-Men|Gambit]], kinda...
* [[Sleepwalker]]'s eyes are a subversion in that most people are freaked out by them, although that may be because they're compounded like an insect's. A few people, such as Pike and Alyssa Conover, are able to look deeper and see the kindness within them.
 
 
=== Fan Works ===
* Hanae Mitsukawa in ''[[Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy (Fanfic)|Pretty Cure Perfume Preppy]]'' has red eyes in civilian form, but she's a [[Shrinking Violet|shy and fragile]] [[Meganekko]]. When she becomes Cure Tangerine, her eyes [[Kaleidoscope Eyes|turn orange]] to match her theme color.
* Ogata Mia from ''[[Futari Wawa Pretty Cure Blue Moon (Fanfic)|Futari wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon]]'', though she starts out as an obstacle to the Cures, is a sweet red-eyed girl who becomes a friend and member of the core team even if she doesn't fight. [[Mysterious Watcher|Dawn]] also counts; although she's [[Red Eyes Take Warning|powerful and intimidating]], she's a good guy. Since the story goes with the ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' tradition of [[Curtains Match Thethe Window|Earth natives having matching hair and eyes]], the only red-haired character without red eyes is [[Eyes Of Gold|Kainatrol]], easily the most evil character.
* Like his Earth-616 counterpart, [[Ultimate Sleepwalker]] (Fanfic)|Ultimate Sleepwalker's]] glow a bright red. Some of the people Sleepwalker has helped out and who've gotten a good look at his eyes often feel strangely reassured by them, even when they know they should be scared.

Line 106 ⟶ 100:
* Buwaro from ''[[Slightly Damned]]'' is the absolute embodiment of this trope. I mean, just look at [http://www.sdamned.com/2009/11/11152009/ those big, cute, blood-red puppy-dog eyes!]
