History Characters / LOONA

* OminousVisualGlitch: It seems it must be difficult to focus a camera on [=JinSoul=]. Throughout her solo video, there are odd glitch-like distortions in the picture, and in [[spoiler: a certain Cinema Theory showing, [=ViVi=] focusing the camera on her [[SmashToBlack causes it to short out]].]] Throughout "Sweet Crazy Love", at least part of her face is always covered by an eyepatch, shadows, or an eye exam lens. It even extends to her dance close-ups; while Kim LIp's and Choerry's are focused on their faces, hers are off-center and only show her arms or lower body.

* MagicalEye: Their Odd Eyes give them special powers that let them interact across the two dimensions. A glowing crescent appears on the girls' eyes in their respective colors when they use it, with Kim Lip's and [=JinSoul=]'s on their left eyes, and Choerry's on her right.

* BroughtDownToNormal: ImpliedTrope in "Star," "Why Not," and video teasers for "&."

** This is further supported by "&"-era video teasers. In "&2," her Odd Eye is missing. In "&3," both [=JinSoul=] and Choerry are shown within neon rings glowing in their respective colors -- a parallel to Kim Lip's neon ring when awakening her Odd Eye in "Eclipse" -- which obviously represent their Odd Eyes, but Kim Lip is not. [[spoiler:Interestingly, in the music video itself, Kim Lip has an Odd Eye but still does not have a light ring.]]

* {{Bishonen}}[=/=]{{Bifauxnen}}: Her extra self in "Let Me In" dresses femininely, with BoyishShortHair, but in extra commentary on the photoshoots, is referred to several times as male and dressed as such. Several possible applications as to the gender of the bird version of [=HaSeul=] are possible.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Downplayed. [=JinSoul=] has the deepest voice register in LOONA, and describes herself as "untouchably dangerous" and guilty of some sort of sin.

* PurpleIsPowerful: Choerry is the most powerful member of OEC, possessing a combination of Kim Lip's red and [=JinSoul=]'s blue. Overlaps with SupernaturalIsPurple.

** This is further supported by "&"-era video teasers. In "&2," her Odd Eye is missing. In "&3," both [=JinSoul=] and Choerry are shown within neon spheres glowing in their respective colors, obviously representing their Odd Eyes, but Kim Lip is not.

** "Why Not" features Kim Lip looking confused and distressed in a green field as three moons (presumably representing ODD EYE CIRCLE) orbit around her. She cannot perceive the colors on the moons. She also sings about being trapped in a square room again (possibly the room in "Star"). [[spoiler:She later soars in the air in a parallel to [=JinSoul=] swimming her fish tank in "Singing in the Rain," and the green grass turns purple like with Choerry after she ate the cherry in "Love Cherry Motion," which may mean she regained her powers.]]

** This is further supported by "&"-era video teasers. In "&2," her Odd Eye is nowhere to be found. In "&3," both [=JinSoul=] and Choerry are shown within neon spheres glowing in their respective colors, obviously representing their Odd Eyes, but Kim Lip is not.

** This is further supported by "&"-era video teasers. In "&1," her Odd Eye is nowhere to be found. In "&2," both [=JinSoul=] and Choerry are shown within neon spheres glowing in their respective colors, obviously representing their Odd Eyes, but Kim Lip is not.

* BroughtDownToNormal: ImpliedTrope in "Star" and "Why Not."

* BroughtDownToNormal: Implied Trope in "Star" and "Why Not."

* DarkIsNotEvil: [=JinSoul=] describes herself as dangerous, is an AloofAlly represented by a hostile fighter fish, notably has ties to "fallen angel" Olivia Hye, has black as her sub-color, and is frequently in the shadows. Regardless, nothing that [=JinSoul=] has done so far indicates that she is doing anything but promote LOONA's goal of freedom.[[note]]It's worth mentioning that her representative animal, the blue betta fish, is in fact ''perfectly'' able to cohabit with other types of fish. They only tend to fight ''their own kind''. Keeping betta fish with goldfish is indeed dangerous, but likely more for the aggressive-seeming ''betta'' rather than the seemingly innocent goldfish: goldfish can grow up to 12″ and '''eat''' betta fish; goldfish are opportunistic omnivores with the tendency to eat the food of other fish and leave the carnivorous betta starving; goldfish waste puts betta at risk of ammonia poisoning. Not to mention, [=JinSoul=] pours her betta into a tank that's obviously meant for goldfish (that need cold water and are extremely filthy), meaning the water is ''barely'' warm and clean enough for her to survive. Goldfish typically provoke betta by fin-nipping as well, so it's not like betta fish just attack them out of nowhere. This is likely to represent how [=JinSoul=] is seen as dangerous and aggressive even though she herself suffers inside the loop, has justifiable reasons for appearing hostile, and is working for the same goal as the other members.[[/note]]

* ContraltoOfDanger: Downplayed. [=JinSoul=] has the deepest voice register in ODD EYE CIRCLE (albeit she is not an actual contralto), and describes herself as "untouchably dangerous" and guilty of some sort of sin.

* {{Bishonen}} / BiFauxNen: Her extra self in "Let Me In" dresses femininely, with BoyishShortHair, but in extra commentary on the photoshoots, is referred to several times as male and dressed as such. Several possible applications as to the gender of the bird version of [=HaSeul=] are possible.

* MythicalMotifs: Daedalus and Talos. In the Greek myth, Daedalus murders Talos, but Talos is reincarnated as a bird. Girl![=HaSeul=] in "Let Me In" slays the feathery [=HaSeul=], who we later see, held in her hands, as a small white bird. This also makes [=HaSeul=] an indirect IcarusAllusion.
