Eyes Of Gold has been renamed to Supernatural Gold Eyes because the trope is for characters with supernatural origins that have gold eyes. It\'s not for anyone who just happens to have them. So, anything that doesn\'t fit the definition or Zero Context Examples will be removed. If the example fits, please put it back with more context.
