History Main / OccultBlueEyes

* Storm from the Comicbook/{{X-Men}} has blue eyes, which is extremely rare among non-Europeans. In her case, it's a mark of her family's magical heritage, in addition to the white hair.

* The main character of ''{{LostGirl}}'' normally has brown eyes, which turn bright blue when she uses her powers.

* In ''BlazBlue'', there's [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Mu]][[LivingWeapon -12]], whose blue eyes contrast with [[spoiler:the green eyes Noel Vermillion had before she was "tempered".]]

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' showed the eyes of those raised from dead by the Others like [[http://xe3.xanga.com/b36f9a3a34533276238728/w220100436.jpg this]].

* In ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'', according to Gamma, many of the Sky Arcobaleno characters' eyes tend to look as if they expect an event would happen. [[spoiler:It's true, since the Sky Arcobaleno have the ability to see the future.]]
* In ''AoNoExorcist'', Rin Okumura seems to fit the demonic type (being the son of {{Satan}} and all).
* In ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', Fay's magic is explicitly tied with the blue ''color'' in his eyes, which is weird.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'':

These blue eyes indicate a character who either is demonic, or possesses the EvilEye, magic or witchcraft. In the Mediterranean countries, this comes from the Demon's Eye amulet, which is always blue. Blue (or gray) is also the eye colour of choice for many wizards who are eerie or sophisticated instead of mysterious.

** Fate fits as this: He is what Evangeline called a 'doll', being a magical creation of the Lifemaker, extremely proper and TheStoic early in the story, [[SeriousBusiness but prefers to drink coffee instead of tea]].
** Evangeline herself is a blue-eyed vampire who is Really700YearsOld. [[spoiler:It was recently discovered that she herself is also a creation of the Lifemaker; exactly what kind has not been revealed yet.]]

* Having blue eyes, or at least light as opposed to dark, is very rare in the community in which ''TheGiver'' is set, and seems to be a sign that one is capable of "seeing beyond".

* In ''MaraDaughterOfTheNile'', the title character has blue eyes, which are extremely rare in AncientEgypt. Most characters, including her love interest, see them as exotically beautiful, but a few of the characters find them creepy or demonic.
* The influence of spice in ''{{Dune}}'' turns people's eyes an unnatural bright blue. The turning blue is feigned to be a normal biological reaction of humans exposed to spice. However Spice also gives psionic abilities to at least some humans which links the two together in people's minds.

* MatthewSwift had brown eyes before he died. [[FirstEpisodeResurrection Afterwards]], his eyes turn blue due to sharing a body with the blue electric angels.

* Illyria from ''{{Angel}}'' looks like Fred with her whole body turned blue: Just as Fred has brown hair, light brown skin and brown eyes, so Illyria has blue hair, blue skin...and an unnatural shade of blue for her eyes. Of course, this use of blue eyes has the effect of making her look [[EldritchAbomination as eerie as possible]].

* In ''WarhammerFantasy'', the [[HornyVikings Norse]] consider blue eyes to be a sign of favour of the [[EldritchAbomination Chaos God Tzeentch]]. Since Tzeentch is not only the patron god of sorcery, but a ManipulativeBastard extraordinaire who's even fonder of inflicting [[BodyHorror mutations]] on his favourites than his brothers are, this may or may not be a good thing.

These blue eyes indicate a character is either demonic, or possesses the EvilEye, magic, or witch craft. In the Mediterranean countries, this comes from the Demon's Eye amulet which is always blue. Blue (or gray) is also the eye colour of choice for many wizards who are eerie or sophisticated instead of mysterious.

EvilForeigner may explain the origins of this trope as blue eyes were not common in the countries it originated in.
