History Main / OccultBlueEyes

** Someone who has been raised from the dead by the Others has uncanny shining blue eyes with no life in them, usually described as looking like the cold light of distant stars.
*** Taken UpToEleven with a Wildling who [[EyeScream no longer had eyes]] when she died: her empty sockets '''''still glowed blue.'''''

* ''Literature/TailchasersSong'': Eyeshimmer is a [[{{Seer}} farsenser]] with [[ProphetEyes milky]] blue eyes.

* In ''{{VisualNovel/Tsukihime}}'' and ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'', Anti-Demon characters usually have blue eyes (if not GrayEyes), ''Melty Blood'' makes this more apparent by having their eyes glow when you select the character.

* "TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering" gives us [[MasterOfIllusion Jace Beleren]]. Every time he uses his powers his eyes glow with blue light. And another not very occult example, but magical nontheless, is [[ShockAndAwe Ral Zarek]]. When he summons a massive amount of electricity or manipulates the weather, his eyes glow with the generic electrical blue.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' showed the eyes of those raised from dead by the White Walkers like [[http://xe3.xanga.com/b36f9a3a34533276238728/w220100436.jpg this]] (currently also this page's image). The White Walkers themselves also have occult blue eyes.

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage'': Aqua's [[EnemyWithout phantom doppelgänger]] is physically identical to her save the eyes. Both are blue-eyed, but while Aqua's are a rich, inviting shade, the phantom's are pale and piercing. It has a suitably unsettling effect.

* Arthas in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'', especially after he became the Lich King. Death knights in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' also have this, along with GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath.

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

* "FanFic/ReverseFallsAU" is a popular FandomSpecificPlot for the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' fandom. It's a role reversal [=AU=] where the Pine twins are in Gideon's role while Gideon and Pacifica are in theirs. Mabel and Dipper are always depicted with CreepyBlueEyes that usually glow, and they have psychic powers. In contrast, main continuity Dipper and Mabel are usually depicted with brown eyes (though InnocentBlueEyes isn't too uncommon either).

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has season 4's Atlantean villain [[BigBad Dartz]] depicted with one yellow eye and one blue eye. The Orichalcos had infected him and changed one of his eyes from yellow to blue. In [[RealLife real life]] yellow is the unnatural eye colour whilst blue is very common but then again this is anime. The Orichalcos stones are blue and much of Dartz's attire consists of blue as well to hammer home this trope.
** Additionally, there is Kisara from season 5. She is exiled from most civilization because she has pale skin and blue eyes (very unusual for Egypt at that time), and is believed to be a witch. They aren't exactly wrong; [[spoiler: her ka is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the most powerful one not possessed by one of the six priests.]]

* {{Superman}} is said to have "unearthly" blue eyes - one very big part of why he wears extremely thick glasses when in his Metropolis-Clark disguise (they obscure and diffuse the color).

* ''Film/{{Dune}}'': Taking the mind-altering spice for a certain length of time makes a person's eyes glow blue.

* The influence of the spice melange in ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' turns the ''whites'' of people's eyes an unnaturally bright blue. According to the in-universe science, the whites turning blue (known as "eyes of Ibad") is a normal biological reaction of humans exposed to spice. However, spice also as some psychoactive effects and gives psionic abilities to at least some humans, which links the two together in people's minds. While most people have to consume large doses of spice for their eyes to change color, it's so omnipresent on Arrakis, the planet which produces it that every native has this effect to one degree or another.

* Blue eyes are considered [[CreepyBlueEyes automatically creepy]], for this reason, in ''TabletopGame/EmpireOfThePetalThrone''.
* In ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'', Tash is blue eyed, which goes with her Force-Sensitivity and appearance as a CreepyChild who knows too much. When she meets Luke Skywalker and senses their CommonalityConnection, she feels like ''his'' blue eyes are piercing and see more than they should.

* Ivo Balthasar, the incubus from ''[[Literature/TheNecromanticMysteriesOfKyleMurchisonBooth Elegy for a Demon Lover]]'' has gorgeous, but definitely paranormal, blue eyes.
* In Creator/TamoraPierce's ''Literature/ProvostsDog'' books, Bekah Cooper has "ghost eyes" that go from pale blue to ice colored when she's upset (may have something to do with her unofficial {{psychopomp}} status). She uses these to her advantage when she has a need to frighten people, usually criminals.

* In Literature/TheStormlightArchive, Kaladin ends up with these at the end of Literature/WordsOfRadiance, after speaking the Third Ideal of the Windrunners though it only lasts a few hours after each time he uses his Shardblade.
* ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'': [[Literature/AMagesPower In the first book of the series]], Tasio the Trickster expresses interest in changing Eric's eyes from the Innocent variety to one of these. Sure enough, Eric has developed [[MagicEye the "Evil Eye" technique]] and made great strides in learning magecraft.
* In ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'', [[spoiler:Hyacinthe]] the Master of the Straits' eyes turn a vivid blue that deepens and darkens towards the pupils. The change is a sign of his power over the oceans.
* In the ebook ''Literature/LockhartandTeague:TheEmptyChest'' Avalyn Teague belongs to a cult of powerful magic users and is described as having very blue eyes. However, his eye color does not seem to be indicative of his status as a magic user as others of his kind don't have them.
* A number of the WizardsAndWitches in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' have blue eyes, but Albus Dumbledore's are described as especially piercing, which goes with his WizardClassic aesthetic. Another example is Alastor Moody's magical GlassEye, which is "electric blue" while his remaining natural eye is darker in color.

* Both the djinn and angels in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' have glowing blue eyes when they use their power.

* [[MajorlyAwesome Kira]] from ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' gets these when she's [[WillingChanneler possessed by the Prophets]].

* In ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'', the [[HornyVikings Norse]] consider blue eyes to be a sign of favour by 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.

* In ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'', both you and any uruks you mind control have these.

* In Literature/WordsOfRadiance, Kaladin ends up with these at the end of the book after speaking the Third Ideal of the Windrunners.

* ''OffWhite'':

* Cloud Strife from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has these due to Mako exposure. It's noted several times in-game as a mark of the evil MegaCorp's {{Super Soldier}}s, as many characters guess his background with them based solely on having noticed his eyes.
* The [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Draugr]] from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' have glowing blue eyes.
* Arthas in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'', especially after he became the Lich King. Death knights in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' also have this, along with GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath.
* Leon from ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'' is a LittleBitBeastly Dragon Priest {{Kitsune}}/Pharaoh guy with bright blue eyes to match his FacialMarkings. Kiel also has blue-grey eyes and a magical streak a mile wide, though he falls more under InnocentBlueEyes.

* The character morphing system in ''VideoGame/FableI'' gives the Hero these if he's a powerful non-Evil mage.

* In ''YoungAvengers'', Wiccan is one of the candidates for Sorcerer Supreme, and he is usually drawn with brown or hazel eyes, despite his official bio saying that he has blue.

* In ''WarhammerFantasy'', the [[HornyVikings Norse]] consider blue eyes to be a sign of favour by 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.

* "Reverse Pines" is a popular FandomSpecificPlot for the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' fandom. It's a role reversal [=AU=] where the Pine twins are in Gideon's role while Gideon and Pacifica are in theirs. Mabel and Dipper are always depicted with CreepyBlueEyes that usually glow, and they have psychic powers. In contrast, main continuity Dipper and Mabel are usually depicted with brown eyes (though InnocentBlueEyes isn't too uncommon either).
