Basic Trope: A character's eyes are hidden by something.
- Straight: Alice's eyes are always hidden by her hair.
- Exaggerated: Alice's eyes are always hidden by anything that could obscure them, like shades, hair, masks, etc. In situations where they could be revealed, it is always covered up by something else conveniently.
- Downplayed:
- Alice's eyes are mostly hidden, but small glimpses of them can be seen at some points.
- Only one of Alice's eyes is covered up.
- Justified: Alice wants to remain hidden and unnoticed due to a reclusive personality.
- Inverted: Everything about Alice except her eyes is covered up.
- Subverted: Alice appears to cover up her eyes with her hair at first, but this is only because of the situation she was in when she was first seen.
- Double Subverted: Her eyes are actually part of a mask, and her real eyes are hidden.
- Parodied: Alice can't see because of her hair covering her eyes, and is accident-prone.
- Zig-Zagged: ?
- Averted: Nothing covers up Alice's eyes.
- Enforced: The writer wants to show how much of a Creepy Child Alice is, so her hair covers her eyes.
- Lampshaded: "How does she even know where she's going if her hair covers up her eyes all the time?"
- Invoked:
- Alice wants to look like a goth, so one of the things she does is grow out her bangs.
- Alice's eyes actually contain a power that unleashes whenever someone gazes upon her eyes, so she grows out her hair to avoid that happening.
- Exploited: ?
- Defied: "You know what? I don't really want to look like some goth who goes to Hot Topic every weekend to try and stand out. I'm cutting my bangs."
- Discussed: "Alice really likes to cover up her eyes with her hair. Probably has self-esteem issues."
- Conversed: "Why does every goth cover up their eyes with their hair? Wouldn't that just make getting around places harder?"
- Implied: Alice is never seen on-screen, but a character mentions that she "has a bad habit of hiding her eyes".
- Played for Horror: Alice never reveals her eyes because there is an evil secret hidden within them.
