23Innocent "baby blues" or clear, pure and shining, these eyes are blue to symbolize youth, naïveté, inexperience, and purity of soul. In extreme cases, may indicate BlueIsCalm and HeavenlyBlue. This may derive from the fact that many babies (and not just human babies; non-human examples include cats, dogs, horses and crows) are born with blue eyes, due to them having no melanin in them, and later develop color from exposure to sunlight, symbolically "losing their innocence". Either way, [[BlueIsHeroic a popular choice for heroes, heroines]] and younger characters. In older works, gray eyes were used for this instead. Common with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold (or with RoseHairedSweetie, if the cast tends towards technicolor hair).

25Contrast IcyBlueEyes and CreepyBlueEyes. For blue eyes indicating "corruption" instead of innocence see OccultBlueEyes.

32[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
33* In ''Anime/BakuganBattlePlanet'' both the protagonists of the [[FiveManBand Awesome Brawlers]], and the [[RedOniBlueOni red and blue duo]] Dan and Shun have these big heroic blue eyes standing for innocence and purity.
34%%* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
35%%** Videl as shown [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/70c6296519907db37d75ddcc8e7d5bcb/tumblr_miedfo24jE1rtsthmo1_500.jpg here.]]
36%%** Trunks.
37%%* Belldandy of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' fits quite well -- complete with blond hair ([[PowerDyesYourHair usually]]).
38* ''Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'' has Prince Chagum, who [[spoiler:carries the egg of a benevolent water spirit]]. He also has a noble, innocent personality typical of blue eyes.
39%%* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': Sailor Moon[=/=]Usagi has big innocent blue eyes and several people comment on how beautiful they are.
40%% * ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'': the [[ThePollyanna eternally optimistic]] Amelia and the [[ProperLady kind and polite]] Sylphiel both have blue eyes of this kind.
41%% * The OVA and TV series of ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' gave Miyuki Kobayakawa the clear blue variety.
42* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': Quatre Winner has the 'innocent' type, and falls among BewareTheNiceOnes characters.
43%%** Duo Maxwell.
44%%% If you add context to the above, please also fix indentation.
45* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'''s Winry has very bright blue eyes, which she got from her parents. Her eyes probably fit the first meaning.
46* Mikado from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' is a subverted bait-and-switch of Innocent Blue Eyes. Early in the series, the audience thinks he's your average NaiveNewcomer, trusting and uncorrupted by Ikebukuro city, but later, we find out he's actually [[spoiler:been the cold and calculating [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] and leader of the dollars this whole time, has been ObfuscatingStupidity, and is the type of person you don't want to cross. On one occasion, he actually shivved a guy with a pen]]. It's at this point that you realize they were actually IcyBlueEyes all along.
47* Reinforce Zwei of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' has the [[MonochromaticEyes bluest eyes of the series]], emphasizing the childlike innocence of the character, as well as her magical nature (The first [[ArtificialHuman Unison]] [[PureMagicBeing Device]] created since the days of Ancient Belka) and her [[AnIcePerson affinity to ice]].
48* ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'': The title character has the innocent/deep-blue variant. Kimba is forced to become the king of the jungle after the death of his father and claim his authority.
49* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'''s title character is a sweet and excitable little girl who becomes a heroine to protect her childhood best friend and people like him. She has a pair of very [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/simone_5.jpg vivid blue ones]].
50%% * Yuuen of ''Manga/WildRock'' has absolutely huge blue irises of the innocent sort and golden hair to match.
51* There are several blue-eyed characters in ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' that are harmless and ([[BlackAndGrayMorality relatively]]) innocent.
52** Eve Genoard, an unknowing MafiaPrincess (she thinks the Genoard fortune comes from textiles) who is TheIngenue heiress, soft-spoken, steel-spined. She believes the very best in people, including her asshole brother Dallas. [[spoiler:Later goes right out the window when she finds out who murdered her father and brother, and tries to blow his head off.]]
53** Isaac, despite being a fully grown man, still fits due to being a combination of TheDitz, AllLovingHero, and CloudCuckooLander - while a petty criminal, his and Miria's crimes ''are'' very well-intentioned, even if they don't fully grasp the extent of their intentions.
54%% ** Carol
55%% ** [[DamselInDistress Mary Beriam]], the young, sheltered daughter of a senator.
56* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' has a couple of different examples. Siblings Rosette and Joshua Christopher both have blue eyes with golden hair--as children, they both seemed to have it to represent innocence, but as they get older, Rosette becomes TheHeroine, while Joshua [[ComesGreatInsanity goes insane]] after being recruited by the villains, and then they're ''definitely'' the [[IcyBlueEyes "icy" version]]. Joshua's eye color could also represent his lost innocence.
57* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': Ochame has light blue eyes and is TheBabyOfTheBunch amongst Kento's crew.
58* ''Anime/ADogOfFlanders1975'':
59** Nello has large blue eyes, and is good-hearted and innocent to the core, and does his best to help others even when he's drowning in poverty himself.
60** Alois has large blue eyes and is the kindest and friendliest of the family, and is nothing like her snobbish, {{Jerkass}} dad.
61* Vash from ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' has softer, kinder innocent turquoise eyes in contrast to his twin brother's lighter, icier gaze. This difference may represent their different personalities.
62%% * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': Naruto has the innocent type of blue eyes, though he does have a mischievous streak.
63* ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'': Noelle's big baby-blue eyes totally fit into the "pure and innocent" category, together with golden. Besides, she is a heroine.
64* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
65** Nodoka, the resident ShrinkingViolet, has blue eyes in the first anime series and the Ala alba OAD series. (She gets purple eyes in the manga and red eyes in ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason''.) Rarely visible in the anime series, but as she came out of her shell between it and the OAD series, you see them a lot more there.
66** The Innocent RobotGirl Chachamaru gets blue eyes in the first anime series (she gets green eyes in all other adaptations).
67* As TheIngenue, wide-eyed, superhero, it's only natural that Keith Goodman from ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' has Innocent Blue Eyes.
68* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'': Sandybell, Marc and Ricky are inncoent children who have been through heavily traumatic events involving the loss of a parent, but try to look forward to the future anyway. They all have blue eyes. Inverted with [[AlphaBitch Kitty]], who has blue eyes but is a ManipulativeBitch.
69* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
70** The personification of the USA has light blue eyes due to PhenotypeStereotype. As a child, he is a straight example of the trope. His role as a LoveFreak with ChronicHeroSyndrome put him here, but it's played with since he's also a bit of an AttentionWhore and his naivety borders on just being plain clueless sometimes.
71** England's younger brother Sealand has them, being an ''[[{{Determinator}} extremely]]'' [[PluckyGirl plucky]] CheerfulChild.
72** Denmark has blue eyes, along with an extremely [[{{Keet}} cheerful, excitable]] and [[BoisterousBruiser boisterous]] attitude; he also seems to be SarcasmBlind,[[note]]or else employing SelectiveObliviousness[[/note]] as he never notices when his [[OddFriendship friend]] [[DeadpanSnarker Norway]] mocks or insults him.
73** Played with in [[DrillSergeantNasty Germany's]] case: He has blue eyes that are [[IcyBlueEyes piercing]]. As he has a [[TheComicallySerious no-nonsense and strict demeanor]], he's less traditionally innocent: However, he is ''very'' [[NoSocialSkills inexperienced with people and social situations]].
74** Played with in France's case. He has blue eyes but is also a HandsomeLech, especially [[CharacterizationMarchesOn earlier in the series]]. Later he's shown a [[ChivalrousPervert tender, emotional and thoughtful side]].
75%% * Blue-eyed Hinako from ''Manga/BitterVirgin'' is a tragic example, considering her status as a BrokenBird.
76* Subverted by StepfordSmiler Glemmy Toto in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ''. His whole schtick is being an angelic [[{{Bishonen}} pretty boy]]. He's [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon anything but]].
77* ''Anime/PrettyCure'':
78** ''Anime/SmilePrecure'': The NonHumanSidekick and young, unreliable MentorMascot Candy has blue eyes with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold. She looks like a little angel [[spoiler:when she transforms into her human form called Royale Candy.]]
79** ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'': Subverted with [[TheDragon Regina]] who also happens to be an evil blonde girl. But with her blue eyes, she's in her ''least'' evil state, and you really don't want to see her with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] in any of her forms. She could be a good girl, but [[spoiler:her father brainwashed her back to the evil side]].
80** ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'': Princess Elle, the innocent baby who loves everyone and almost looks like a little angel, has ocean-blue eyes.
81%%%
82%%%%%%%%%%% If you add context to these examples, please also fix the example indentation.
83%%%%
84%%*** Played straight with Rikka Hishikawa alias [[TheSmartGuy Cure Diamond]] of ''Doki Doki Pretty Cure'' (Doki Doki Pretty Cure)
85%%*** Reika Aoki / Cure Beauty (Smile Pretty Cure)
86%%** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'': Honoka Yukishiro / Cure White
87%%** ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'': Karen Minazuki / Cure Aqua
88%%** ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'': Miki Aono / Cure Berry
89%%** ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'': Erika Kurumi / Cure Marine
90%%** ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'': Cure Hibiki Hojo / Melody. Melody wears pink.
91%%** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'': Kaoru Kiryuu had CreepyBlueEyes before her HeelFaceTurn and gains Cure Windy's powers ''and'' a blue costume during the GrandFinale.
92* ''Anime/PrincessDiana'': Diana has icy blue eyes and is very oblivious and innocent. She was bewildered when her friends threw a surprise party for her birthday, and loves all sorts of animals, to the point she has an AnimalCompanion in the form of a guinea pig.
93* ''Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries'': Ash's new partner Goh has these attractive, bubbly, cute, pure, yet innocent and heroic baby blue eyes. He's also a lot more naive compared to Ash when it comes to hands-on experience with Pokémon, despite being more academically knowledgable about Pokémon. Case in point, the first Pokémon he wants to be his partner is [[OlympusMons Mew]] rather Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle.
94* Armin Arlert from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has big, blue eyes, and he begins the series soft, idealistic, and naive. Subverted the more and more he gains JadeColoredGlasses.
95* Both Makimachi Misao and Kamiya Kaoru of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''. Kaoru is among the most idealistic of the cast and is inexperienced to boot; Kenshin flat-out calls her philosophy "sweet and innocent talk," though he is idealistic enough to hope her philosophy becomes truer in the new era. Misao is more pragmatic and perfectly willing to use her virginity to lure in con victims but is the most innocent of the Oniwabanshuu (she is, so far as the series indicates, the only Oniwaban agent who has never killed or tortured).
96* The blue-eyed Kotone is probably the most innocent of the cast of ''Manga/TonariNoKashiwagiSan'', often [[ObliviousToLove having trouble spotting romantic situations]].
97* ''Manga/ShonenNoteBoySoprano'' usually averts {{mukokuseki}}, however, Yutaka has bright blue eyes. He's a highly sensitive, innocent kid.
98%%* ''Anime/QueensBlade'' ''Grimoire'' has Alicia the heroine who has blue eyes. Unlike most female characters with such features, she is very haughty and abrasive to everyone.
99%% this looks like misuse. It doesn't explain how she fits the trope -- a character has to be innocent, inexperienced, naive, pure or good-hearted.
100* Hareta from ''Manga/PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure'' has blue eyes. He is an emotional WildChild FriendToAllLivingThings.
101* Tohru has blue eyes in the ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' anime (in the manga she has brown eyes, which have similar implications). She is a sweet PluckyGirl; however, she also has self-esteem issues and has some ExtremeDoormat tendencies.
102* ''Anime/DigimonFusion'': TheHero Shoutmon has blue eyes in his childlike normal form, but they become [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] or [[WindIsGreen green]] when he [[FusionDance fuses with his allies]] for battle. In the GrandFinale he enters a powered-up version of his [[AllYourPowersCombined ultimate combined form]], but in doing so transforms every part of his body ''[[EyesAreMental except]]'' [[EyesAreMental his eyes]], showing that he has truly grown into TheGoodKing of the Digital World.
103* ''Anime/{{Raideen}}'': Mari has brownish-red hair and blue eyes, and has an eager crush on Akira. She risks her own life many times, oblivious to the danger it brings, just for his sake. [[spoiler: Her innocent nature charms even the stone cold Princess Lemuria, Akira's mother]].
104* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'':
105** [[SmallRoleBigImpact The Bandit]] had bright blue eyes, befitting her role as ThePollyanna.
106** Kanna, as the most innocent of the dragons (though not ''completely'' innocent, as her playdate with Saikawa can attest), also has blue eyes.
107* Shinji Ikari from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' has deep blue eyes, which fits with the general air of innocence and nativity he has at the beginning of the story, and especially invokes sympathy when he is sad or otherwise distressed. Especially in ''The End of Evangelion'', when he is at his most broken.
108* Aladdin in ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' has blue eyes and is a NaiveNewcomer NiceGuy.
109%%* Numerous characters from ''Toys/{{Jewelpet}}'', such as Sapphie pictured above.
110* Mirai Momoyama from Anime/KirattoPriChan has blue eyes, and is an AllLovingHero.
111* Frequent in ''Anime/WorldMasterpieceTheater'':
112** ''Anime/{{Pollyanna}}'': Pollyanna has very wide, blue eyes, is a FriendToAllLivingThings and a PluckyGirl.
113** ''Anime/RemyNobodysGirl'': Remy is a GenkiGirl who helps keep the spirits of the children at the OrphanageOfFear up. She's been through ParentalAbandonment and had to watch [[spoiler:Vitalis]] die, but is determined to earn her happy ending. Many of the orphange's RagtagBunchOfMisfits have this too.
114** ''Anime/KatriGirlOfTheMeadows'': Katri and Pekka both have blue eyes. They're both children trying to keep their families out of poverty during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI Finland, but remain cheerful despite their bleak situation.
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder:Asian Animation]]
118* ''Animation/{{Mechamato}}'': Payapi has large blue eyes and acts as a friendly firefighting robot. [[SubvertedTrope It's entirely a ruse however.]]
119* Cham Cham Chakraborty of ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' has the blue eyes, but [[SubvertedTrope not the innocent attitude]], what with him being a self-centered [[TheRival rival]] to Samosa. He tries to beat Samosa in sports events simply because he hates him, and in one episode he [[spoiler:comes alarmingly close to ''getting him killed'' as part of being falsely accused of a crime]]; besides that, he's also proven to be a bad choice for mayor of Chatpata Nagar with his acting like a king and taxing everyone.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Comic Books]]
123* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': Captain America has pure blue eyes, along with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold. Very befitting for one of the purest people in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and the best known [[CaptainPatriotic Patriot Hero]].
124* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
125** Superman has blue eyes. In ''ComicBook/SupermanBirthright'', Martha Kent made him wear his iconic [[ClarkKenting glasses]] to hide them. She remarks that she's never seen eyes quite like his, eyes so brilliantly blue that looking into them is like looking into the sky. Quite fitting for the superhero that best fits the role of TheHero in the Franchise/DCUniverse.
126** [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]], originally written as a semi-naïve NiceGuy, has blue eyes (though they're not very obvious). While the naivete has fallen by the wayside, Jimmy still maintains the kindness and general good nature one would expect from [[IdealHero Superman's]] MuggleBestFriend.
127** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} has blue eyes. And she's -originally or after CharacterDevelopment- a nice, kind and compassionate young woman. Her original, Pre-Crisis self was pretty innocent, optimistic and dangerously naïve when she arrived on Earth.
128* ''Franchise/TheFlash''. The second Flash, Barry Allen, has blue eyes, is one of the nicest people in the DCU, and is a poster boy for NiceGuy.
129* This is typically not seen due to the art-style, but when Archie and Betty of ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' are shown with an eye color, they're usually blue-eyed. Archie is ([[DependingOnTheWriter normally]]) a friendly, heroic [[TheAllAmericanBoy "All American" boy]].
130* Exploited by the assassin Delia "Blue-Eyes" from ''ComicBook/SinCity''. She projects an image of helpless innocence as a DamselInDistress to lure her targets into complacency. The image is helped by her huge and striking blue eyes. The fact that she's an assassin working for the Wallenquist crime syndicate shows she's anything ''but'' innocent. They become IcyBlueEyes when she drops the act and goes for the kill. [[spoiler:Her initiation was to murder her first love who still had feelings for her. She passed with flying colors. She doesn't fare as well against Wallace who almost immediately sees through her act.]]
131* Ben Grimm of the ComicBook/FantasticFour retains blue eyes after his transformation into ComicBook/TheThing. While Ben is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold rough around the edges]] (particularly thanks to the ComicBook/HumanTorch), he has a GentleGiant core and is nicknamed "The Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing".
132* The first three ComicBook/{{Robin}}s ([[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], [[ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws Jason Todd]], and [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim Drake]]) start out with innocent baby blues but lose them due to their life experiences. Jason and Tim trade them in for almost constant IcyBlueEyes with an added dose of OccultBlueEyes for Jay.

135[[folder:Fan Works]]
136* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Shinji has "deep blue eyes" and he is pretty innocent and naïve (at the beginning).
137* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': Shinji’s blue eyes are more limpid, more childlike. When Asuka sees what looks like a younger image of her self and notices she has Shinji’s blue eyes, she starts to realize it is their daughter Teri.
138* In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', Shinji has clear blue eyes and he was a traumatized but innocent boy. He even tried to believe that his father was a decent person, despite Gendo abandoning him.
139* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'' has Shinji. He has crystal blue eyes, and he used to be an innocent, nice boy before the War, the end of the world and living in the wastelands.
140* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Shinji has very clear, bright blue eyes. He is also a shy, good-natured, well-meaning young man.
141* ''Fanfic/GhostsOfEvangelion'':
142** Shinji has clear blue eyes, and he was an innocent, shy kid before the War.
143** [[spoiler:Baby Ryuko]]'s eyes are a deep blue, and her gaze was completely innocent.
144--->Asuka looked at her daughter and found that, for a moment, she couldn't even breathe. "She's beautiful," she whispered. Her eyes were a deep blue, like her father's, and she had a shock of light brown hair. She looked curiously at this strange new person, the perfect picture of innocence.
145* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': Shinji’s eyes are a limpid, light blue. He is also a shy, soft-spoken, easily embarrassed person, even in his late twenties.
146* Downplayed in ''Fanfic/KarmaInRetrograde''. Touya has vibrant blue eyes that reflect his innocence and how he's initially unaware of all the crimes he committed as Dabi. At the same time, Dabi still has the same eyes and his mother can't even bear to look at him because of how much his eyes remind her of Endeavor.
147* In ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'' Shinji has blue eyes… and he’s the nicest and less mean-spirited person that you’ll ever meet:
148-->''His hair was an unruly mop of brown and his eyes a dark blue, hidden behind a pair of glasses he didn't need.''
149%%* Teenybopper in ''Fanfic/MyLittlePonyRockIsMagic''.
150* In ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'', Shinji's dark blue eyes are remark upon, when Hikari explains to him why the majority of the girls in the class has taken a liking to him.
151-->It was because of his eyes, she had said, because of how the pale blue always made him look sad and in turn made the girls want to console him, and because they considered him cute.
152* Prim from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' is one of the youngest in Celestine's court, characterised as TheCutie, RoseHairedSweetie and PrincessClassic, all of which are character tropes related to youth, optimism and innocent sweetness. The remastered version switches her eye colour from purple to bright blue to reinforce this impression.
153* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': Shinji has blue eyes and he used to be innocent and gullible... before going through the War in the original timeline.
154* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Shinji is a blue-eyed, innocent, naïve boy who didn't even suspect his roommate and LoveInterest Asuka was ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' until he saw it with his own eyes.
155-->"Maybe, maybe not," he said, his dark blue eyes meeting her brown ones.
156* Subverted with Shinji in ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji''. He has light-blue eyes, and he tries to look innocent and gullible if it benefits him... however, he's anything but that.
157* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'': One of the main heroic characters, Valerie Payne, has crystal blue eyes that spark like clear water. [[FamilyEyeResemblance This is significant]] because Lo Mei, [[PrecursorHeroes Lo Pei's]] daughter and Shendu's unwilling bride, had those eyes as well. This is the first hint that makes Shendu realize that [[HeroicLineage Valerie is Lo Pei's descendant]]. He actually mistakes for a moment Valerie with Mei because of her eyes, and the LivingStatue of Lo Pei does the same.
158* ''Fanfic/TheVow'': Lady Lianne, a noble [[SwansASwimming swan]] and [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2 Lord Shen]]'s love interest, has oceanic blue eyes that reflect her gentle and pacifistic nature. Her mother, the also gentle Lady Amelia, has blue eyes similar to those of her daughter. [[spoiler:Shen and Lianne's son Zian inherits her mother's eyes along with her gentle and peaceful nature.]]
159[[/folder]]
160
161[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
162* Lightning [=McQueen=] from ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' has light blue eyes with a slight hint of deep turquoise on the inner rim, which represents his love for racing and hints at the fact he learns that friendship and leadership are much more important in life.
163* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', sisters Elsa and Anna both have blue eyes, obviously a trait passed down from their parents. Anna's eyes are of the innocent kind, while Elsa has IcyBlueEyes.
164* Dopey, the most childish of the seven dwarves, from ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' has large blue eyes.
165* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}:'' Flower and Faline each have blue eyes, which help to accentuate their respective personalities: Flower as an innocent ShrinkingViolet, and Faline as a friendly GenkiGirl.
166* Joy of ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' fame has big, bright blue eyes that represent her [[ThePollyanna unending cheerfulness]] and desire to keep Riley happy.
167* Robyn Goodfellowe from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'' has large blue eyes, fitting with her spirited but naive pesonality. She still has them [[EyesAreMental in her wolf form]].
168* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'', where Kent Mansley's big blue eyes stand out in a cast where everyone else has dark eyes (or even just beady black eyes with no pupils), but he's the film's only real villain, and simply an awful person in every regard.
169* Merida from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', although her blue eyes are more along the "youthful" and "inexperienced" categories than really "innocent".
170* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Stacy has blue eyes to go with her HairOfGoldHeartOfGold and only has good intentions toward Mei when she finds her in the bathroom in her giant red panda form.
171[[/folder]]
172
173[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
174* ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'': Jim's (Creator/CillianMurphy) wide-open baby blues leave him looking innocent and rather bewildered (right up until the... [[EyeScream rescue scene]]).
175* ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'': Another Cillian Murphy film. He's a good guy (even hero) in this movie and it features lots of close-ups of his bright blue eyes... juxtaposed to images of the Sun (which is the Great Evil that has to be set right in the movie). The director and photographer of the movie said in the commentary they deliberately put images of Murphy's blue eyes next to that of the yellow/orange Sun for contrast; and not so coincidentally, the spaceship the movie takes place on, features mainly blue and green tones to remind of planet Earth, its home-base, and Murphy's/Capa's eyes match that comforting tone.
176* ''Film/{{Atonement}}'': Robbie Turner has an impressive pair of big blue eyes. It's consistent with the director's interpretation of the character being TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth.
177* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': The film version of Frodo Baggins has enormous blue eyes, which suggest the general innocence and good-heartedness of hobbits (although Frodo doesn't actually have blue eyes in the book). They also contrast against the [[RedEyesTakeWarning gigantic fireball]] that is the Eye of Sauron. Crosses over into IcyBlueEyes at times, especially when the side effects of carrying [[SealedEvilInACan the One Ring]] are shown.
178* Roger Rabbit from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' has bluish watery eyes of sound sanity. To contrast with [[spoiler:Judge Doom's [[RedEyesTakeWarning red embers of madness]].]]
179* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
180** Luke Skywalker has large, light blue eyes that express his kindheartedness, being TheHero and a WideEyedIdealist, and ([[CharacterDevelopment to start off with]]) his naivety. They can easily turn [[IcyBlueEyes icy]] if the situation calls for it, however.
181** In ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', Anakin Skywalker's eyes are blue again after his son Luke saves him from the Dark Side.
182* Michelangelo's eyes in the 2007 CGI ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' movie are blue, while the other Turtles have brown eyes. This gives Mikey a more innocent look, befitting his personality.
183* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
184** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Charles Xavier's bright blue irises represent his goodness and naïveté. After the [[BreakTheCutie events of the film]], he is still as idealistic, but has been rather blind-sided by reality and is much more cautious and reserved.
185** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Since this movie partly recycles Charles' arc from ''First Class'', his radiant blue eyes are once more a symbol of him being too optimistic for his own good.
186* In the film version of ''Film/HarryPotter'', Harry has blue eyes, connected to heroic symbolism. In [[Literature/HarryPotter the books]], his eyes are green. [[note]]Interestingly, Harry WAS originally meant to have green eyes, but Creator/DanielRadcliffe couldn't wear the green contacts that he was given.[[/note]]
187%%* Theodore in ''Film/Her2013'' has sad, blue eyes, fitting his BrokenBird persona.
188%% * Cameron Frye in ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' has the sad, wounded variety.
189* From ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', Marty [=McFly=] has big, expressive blue eyes -- which add a nice emphasis to his FishOutOfTemporalWater status with him being shocked or confused many times.
190* In the [[UsefulNotes/MormonCinema Mormon movie]] ''Film/JosephSmithTheProphetOfRestoration'', Smith himself is portrayed with bright greenish-blue eyes to emphasize his pure heartedness and virtue.
191* Nux from ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' has blue eyes, highlighting the fact that while he's a BloodKnight DeathSeeker, he's really just a kid and a victim of Immortan Joe's brainwashing. They get emphasized more and more as he develops, and [[spoiler:the best shot of them comes at the climax when he decides to sacrifice himself for the Wives.]]
192* ''Film/{{Trance}}'': Subverted with Simon Newton. His youthful facial features (which include his sparkling blue irises) tend to be highlighted, and he initially appears to be the most sympathetic character in the film, but [[spoiler:it's later revealed that Simon is an abusive, violent boyfriend and a murderer]].
193%% * The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' take on Captain America fits the description perfectly. To match the HairOfGoldHeartOfGold, Steve is the epitome of a NiceGuy image, which is why the serum worked perfectly for him.
194* ''Film/VioletAndDaisy'': Daisy and Violet both have them. It aids their innocent, girlish personas.
195* ''Film/MissionToMars'': According to the hologram the characters find inside the Face on Mars, the Martians, being benevolent creators of all life on Earth, looked like tall, orange-skinned AngelicAliens with big blue eyes, from which the holographic Martian sheds a SingleTear before showing the humans the tragic history of Mars.
196* ''Film/ComeToDaddy'': Norval has Creator/ElijahWood's naturally large, blue eyes. A police officer believes that Norval is telling the truth because he doesn't have "raisin eyes" (ie, small and dark eyes). When the coroner notes that Norval has "kind eyes," Norval relates what the police officer said about his eyes earlier.
197* ''Film/{{Wendy}}'': Wendy has striking pale blue eyes here which accentuate her innocence and youth.
198* ''Film/{{Gabriel 2007}}'' is about the angel Gabriel descending into purgatory to help his fellow {{Fallen Angel}}s. In contrast to them, who have become jaded by their time down there, he's a WideEyedIdealist with bright blue eyes.

201[[folder:Literature]]
202* ''Literature/DragonBones'' has a whole family who all have blue-violet eyes except for Ward. However, his younger sister and brother, whom he is very protective towards, have the typical blue eyes. There is also Oreg, who is a kind of ghost, and also descended from that family. He is a powerful mage and could seem dangerous, but Ward notes that, in one situation, he looks like a frightened child, to which the Innocent Blue Eyes contribute.
203* Jake has blue eyes which, at the beginning of ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' series, fit into the innocent category, but as the story goes on, they're described as being [[CharacterDevelopment eerily similar to Roland's icy eyes]].
204* In the second book in the ''Literature/DarkestPowers'' trilogy, Tori mocks Chloe for having blue eyes and golden hair, saying she is “just like [Tori's] sister” - essentially useless and always in need of saving". Chloe, though angry about Tori’s insults, has to admit that this is ''kind of'' true since Derek has to come running to her rescue quite a few times in all three books. Liam also comments on her eyes, saying they make her look cute and scared [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil and thus very desirable]], much to the anger of Derek.
205* In ''Literature/EarthsChildren'', Ayla has wide, blue-grey eyes and is kind and pure-hearted. However, her having grey mixed in also hints at her toughness and perceived otherworldliness.
206* Fiene in ''Literature/EndoAndKobayashiLive The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte'' has a pair of sky-blue eyes that complements well with her NaiveNewcomer nature. [[spoiler:Those comes from her father August Riefenstahl.]]
207* In Creator/JohnCWright's ''[[Literature/ChroniclesOfChaos Fugitives of Chaos]]'', Mortimer has innocent blue eyes as well as the mind of a 5-year old.
208* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Luke and [[ExpandedUniverse Ben Skywalker]] both have blue eyes that can swing from innocent to icy at fancy's whim, and often quite suddenly, to the point where it scares Ben (to a small extent, anyway).
209* Rand Al'Thor in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' is first described to have wide, innocent blue eyes. As the books progress, they change into the piercing, ice cold type. They switch between gray and blue as well.
210* ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'': The musketeer Athos has "azure" eyes, presumably as a symbol of his pureness.
211* In ''Literature/DarknessVisible'', William and Amelia Marsh have blue-green eyes. In Amelia's case, they show innocence. William starts out as innocent but is definitely veering towards piercing and cynical by the end of the book.
212* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
213** Sansa's eyes are said to be particularly vibrant and lovely, arguably an indication of her innocence and goodness (at least to [[BrokenBird start with]]). It's summed up best in this scene...
214--->''Petyr studied her eyes, as if seeing them for the first time. "You have your mother’s eyes. Honest eyes, and innocent. Blue as a sunlit sea. When you are a little older, many a man will drown in those eyes."''
215** Sansa's brothers Robb and Bran also inherited their mother's eyes, and are also initially optimistic and innocent.
216** [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon Brienne]] [[KnightInShiningArmor of]] [[FailureKnight Tarth]] is a very large, very strong, very ugly woman. Her one beauty is her [[WhatBeautifulEyes innocent, sky-blue eyes]].
217** Exploited by Tyene Sand along with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold. She's beautiful, sweet, and pious-looking, and you'll believe that right until you realize that [[BitchInSheepsClothing she's]] [[MasterPoisoner poisoned]] you.
218* A couple of these in the Literature/{{Deryni}} works:
219** Sean Lord Derry, Morgan's aide-de-camp, is human, but Morgan introduces him to the use of magic as part of his reconnaissance missions. When Morgan teaches him Mind Speech, Derry's "blue eyes were wide, but trusting."
220** When confronted by a guardsman in ''Deryni Rising'', Duncan [=McLain=] staged dropping his tabernacle key and "turned innocent blue eyes on the man". Duncan is also a Deryni (and as such, forbidden to be a priest), so cultivating this innocent look is important to his protective arsenal.
221%%* Derek Huntsman in ''Literature/{{Domina}}''.
222%%* The mother in Creator/LMMontgomery's ''Literature/JaneOfLanternHill''. This is explicitly contrasted with her own mother's IcyBlueEyes.
223%%* Bertie Wooster, SpoiledSweet UpperClassTwit of ''Literature/JeevesAndWooster'' fame.
224* Shannon and Ginevra in ''Literature/DoctrineOfLabyrinths'' are both extremely sheltered and naïve and have wide blue eyes.
225* Jerin's eyes in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' are blue. He's ''very'' innocent, and prone to [[CrushBlush blushing]]. All boys in his family are very sheltered, which makes them all (the blue eyes are a family trait) this trope. Subverted with Keifer Porter, who exploited his appearance to make himself seem innocent, but was anything but.
226* {{Subverted}} with Ferahgo and his son Klitch in ''Literature/{{Redwall}}''; their blue eyes are only meant to make them seem innocent and friendly, when in reality they're both ruthless killers. They both tend to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] this trope to [[BitchInSheepsClothing hide their true colors]].
227* Amati from ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'' has the "baby blues" variant, emphasizing his youth. He even has golden hair.
228* "Literature/TalmaGordon": Talma has blue eyes and is described in ways evoking innocence -- at the garden party, she is merry, wears white, and is compared to a flower.
229* In ''Literature/ThievesLikeUs'', Jonas is repeatedly noted to have "undamned" blue eyes. Those eyes and his general "choir boy" appearance just highlight how he's the NaiveNewcomer and most moral person in a group of thieves and con artists.
230* Subverted in ''Literature/TheTenantOfWildfellHall''. Helen takes note of Huntingdon's blue eyes early on, but any symbolic innocence she reads in the color is a lie when he's revealed to be a drunk, a womanizer, and abusive.
231* Merits a passing mention in ''[[Literature/{{Psmith}} Mike and Psmith]]'', the second half of Creator/PGWodehouse's boarding school novel ''Mike'': "As the blue-eyed hero he [Mike] would have been a rank failure."
232%% * Will Burrows of the ''Literature/{{Tunnels}}'' series has these at first, but at the end of the last novel, they become [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] as a result of him [[spoiler:possibly becoming a Styx]].
233* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'':
234** Peeta Mellark has blue eyes and he is often described as kind and the only decent person to win the Games. As thought by Katniss in ''Catching Fire'' "I look up into those blue eyes that no amount of dramatic makeup can turn truly deadly."
235** Prim is a 12-year-old warm and kind WideEyedIdealist who has the unfortunate luck to be born in the worst slum of the worst district of [[{{Dystopia}} a totalitarian nation]] in [[CrapsackWorld a world of utter calamity and despair]]. The extremely jaded Katniss mentions that Prim is "the only person I'm certain I love". [[spoiler:And that's exactly why that she's TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth.]]
236* Downplayed with William Bush in ''Literature/HoratioHornblower''. His blue eyes are sometimes described as frank and honest, and Bush has an honest and generous character that contrasts with Hornblower's guile (and overthinking and self-doubt). Hornblower himself thinks of Bush's blue eyes as incongruous, since Bush is otherwise a hardbitten sailor.
237* Subverted in ''Literature/CompanionsOfTheNight''. Ethan seems to have these ''at first'', but then Kerry finds out that he’s ''all but innocent''.
238* ''Literature/TomcatBlueEyesDiaries'': Blue Eyes was named for his beautiful blue eyes. The story starts when he's just a small kitten that starts discovering the world, and he's inexperienced and not always very sharp in understanding. He's very sweet to his "two-legged creature" and friendly and kind-hearted to other cats, especially to homeless cat Green Eyes or too smart tom-cat White Whiskers Rusty, who both become his mentors.
239* In ''Literature/ProvenGuilty'', Harry remarks that Molly has these kind of eyes before soulgazing her. The colour highlights her vulnerability and fear. [[spoiler:This is contrasted with a precognitive vision Harry has, in which Molly has become a warlock. In that future, her eyes have gone dead black.]].
240* ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' features [[TheLancer Jason Grace]], who has sky blue eyes. He is neither an idiot nor inexperienced, but is definitely young, has a pure heart, and fits the archetype of "too good to be true"; [[BrokenBird Reyna]] once refers to him as the "All-American boy". The HeavenlyBlue part is emphasized as his father is [[TopGod Jupiter]] and he himself wields ShockAndAwe and BlowYouAway powers.
241* ''Literature/GrandpaGray'': Gray's bright blue eyes are stated to twinkle when he laughs.
242* ''Literature/DevilsAndThieves'': Darek, Jemmie's kind-hearted friend, is shown as one of the more innocent and friendly characters in the story, with blue eyes to match. [[spoiler:This is subverted; Darek turns out to be the villain, and an expert manipulator, who only ''seemed'' like a nice guy.]]
243* Literature/TruemanBradley, a kind, naive CountryMouse with Asperger's Syndrome, has big blue eyes.
244* In ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' Daylen finds Sharra's blue eyes to be [[WhatBeautifulEyes particularly attractive]], but the innocent quality of them convinces him not to accept her offer of RescueSex, as he sees it as effectively taking advantage of a child. [[BrokenBird Lyrah]] also had the innocent variety of blue eyes when she was younger, though they've long since [[IcyBlueEyes hardened]].
245* ''Literature/TheseBrokenStars'': Lilac's eyes are blue, just like [[CorruptCorporateExecutive her father's]]. On him, they're more like IcyBlueEyes.
246* Katarina in ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' thinks she has harsh blue eyes, but when illustrated they look very friendly and charming. Her innocent nature is also something to behold as she completely fails to notice her fiancee making passes at her or that she has a large bisexual harem openly competing in front of her.
247[[/folder]]
248
249[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
250* ''Series/AshVsEvilDead:'' Several scenes that emphasize Heather's status as [[BreakTheCutie a heavily traumatized]] InnocentBystander prominently display her blue eyes.
251* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Lee Adama in the 2000s show...though his are more of the "heroic and idealistic" variety. He was played by Creator/JamieBamber, possessor of said blue eyes.
252* ''Series/BreakingBad'': Jesse Pinkman would definitely qualify as this, with his large, expressive, and puppy-like blue eyes. Given his {{woobie}} characteristics they're often front and center too.
253* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': Sheldon Cooper has large, expressive blue eyes. They may or may not be a physical manifestation of how clueless he is when it comes to social interaction, despite his intellectual brilliance.
254* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'': Diane Chambers, the WideEyedIdealist who, during Creator/ShelleyLong's time on the show, was TheHeart of the gang, has wide and soft greyish-blue eyes.
255* ''Series/{{Cranford}}'': Miss Matty Jenkyns has an enormous, shining pair of bright blue eyes. Given that Miss Matty is sweet, kind, innocent, and TheHeart of the show -- not to mention a {{woobie}} of epic proportions -- they're very appropriate.
256* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
257** The Fourth Doctor has very unusual huge, constantly bulging blue eyes that suit his overgrown-kid personality and are often compared to the eyes of a baby in the novelisations. However, due to how googly and manic they are, when the Doctor's in one of his more alien moods and the lighting hits them just right they can become the [[CreepyBlueEyes Creepiest Blue Eyes]] ever.
258** The Eighth Doctor has much less ridiculous-looking large, innocent blue eyes, reflecting how much he is loving his fresh start, his new body and [[GoodFeelsGood his life doing good things for people in general]] after being the very old and very morally-alien Seventh Doctor for several centuries. This makes it incredibly sad in "Night of the Doctor" when his eternal optimism makes him believe the best of a person who hates him, causing him to end up killing both of them in his attempts to save her, with his [[BreakTheCutie utterly defeated]], dying self choosing to regenerate into a warrior.
259* In ''Series/Dracula2020'', the colour of the sweet, kind-hearted Jonathan's blue eyes is frequently emphasized, especially by Mina. [[spoiler:The fact that his eyes are no longer blue is a sign that Dracula has possessed him]].
260* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Sansa is a textbook example at the start of the series, as a soppy girl with a very naïve view of the world, and, naturally, sporting a pair of wide blue eyes. As Sansa's innocence has been slowly destroyed by circumstance with she and her family suffering one cruelty and betrayal after another, during Season 4 her gaze appropriately hardened in kind into IcyBlueEyes.
261* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': Creator/ChrisColfer is sometimes blue-eyed, sometimes green, sometimes grey, depending on the lighting. Just look at his eyes when he's with his father in any scene, they're likely to be of the wide and innocent type. Judging by his intentional lash-fluttering when Finn tells Puck to stop pushing Kurt into lockers, the character appears to be aware of this trope.
262* ''Series/HoratioHornblower'': Archie Kennedy of this mini-series has the "innocent and sweet" variety. Quite appropriate for [[BreakTheCutie a broken Cutie]] and a character who is [[TheMcCoy the heart and soul]] of the series.
263* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': The TallDarkAndHandsome [[TheHero Hero]] Harmon Rabb, Jr. has a heroic variety of Innocent Blue Eyes.
264* ''Series/LawAndOrderUK'': DS Matt Devlin (also played by Creator/JamieBamber) also has the "heroic" type of blue eyes. He's a FairCop who [[BadassAdorable looks like an angel but can be pretty tough]], and he has successfully lead many suspects to underestimate him. They're such an important character trait that they're the last thing we see of him in his final episode.
265* ''Series/LazyTown'': Sportacus has very blue eyes, and a very optimistic and almost childlike enthusiasm for being active.
266* ''{{Series/Legion|2017}}'': When David Haller is in an especially good mood, his baby blues reflect his endearing boyishness, and they mainly appear when he's around his girlfriend Sydney Barrett or his sister Amy. They're also prominent during his pre-schizophrenic youth.
267* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': As a Harfoot, Nori is not privy to the goings on outside of her tribe and she has wide, bright blue eyes.
268* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Scylla has very striking, expressive blue eyes, making her look more naive and innocent than she really is. This probably helped in her infiltration work.
269* Queen Anne in ''Series/TheMusketeers'' has them and is probably the gentlest and most idealistic character.
270* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'': Charlie Matheson sports a pair of blue eyes representing her youth, naivete, inexperience, and purity of soul. Emma in "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E15Home Home]]" has "purity of soul" blue eyes, with a little green mixed into them.
271* Jess in ''Series/NewGirl'' is known for her "giant" blue eyes. She fits the trope perfectly, as she always anticipates the good in people, loves caring for others and has a playful naivety about the dangers of the world around her.
272* ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'': Special attention is drawn to Spartacus's blue eyes that fill up with ManlyTears in an early scene where he talks of his love for his recently kidnapped wife Sura.
273* ''Series/StargateSG1'': MajorlyAwesome Samantha Carter has a vibrant pair of baby blues. They fit her personality ''quite'' well.
274* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Doctor [[TheMcCoy [=McCoy=]]] has Creator/DeForestKelley's bright, shining baby blues. He's probably the kindest, most compassionate character of the entire ''Trek'' franchise.
275* ''Series/TinMan'': DG has big blue eyes of the "innocent" type, fittingly as the innocent young woman of the group. In a DarkerAndEdgier retelling of ''The Wizard of Oz'', where her companions are given tragic backstories and characterizations, she is relatively the same as Dorothy; the AllLovingHero who unites people to accomplish good for her.
276* ''Series/Warehouse13'': Steve Jinks, who is introduced to the show in season 3, is the only main character with blue eyes. He fits both the naiveté and purity of heart aspects of the trope, as he is initially a NaiveNewcomer, as well as a dorkily cute NiceGuy. Adding to the symbolism, his LivingLieDetector ability relies on eye contact.
277* ''Series/WhiteCollar:'' Matt Bomer's ability to invoke this with his absolutely stunning baby blues is part of the reason he was so convincing as infamous conman Neal Caffrey (also, they probably had a little to do with how Caffrey became so FamedInStory in the first place.) Also, despite being conman, Neal is, against all expectations, pretty firmly a NiceGuy, so it works on two levels.
278* ''Series/TheWhiteQueen'': In the early episodes, the young Anne Neville's baby blue irises mirror her wide-eyed naïvety.

281[[folder:Music]]
282* Music/TheVelvetUnderground's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK4DeMYtumc Pale Blue Eyes]]" from ''Music/{{The Velvet Underground|Album}}'' is a subversion. The mellow and soothing music leads one to think that this trope is in play, and from the lyrics you can tell that the narrator ''wants'' to believe this--but he can't, because the relationship can't last, because she's cheating on her husband with him.
283* Music/EltonJohn's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CiyKeSnSxk Blue Eyes]]" is a song about a person referred to as "baby" who has such a pair of blue eyes, compared to a deep blue sea and a clear blue day.
284-->''"Blue eyes laughing in the sun/Laughing in the rain/Baby's got blue eyes/And I am home again''"
285* Music/{{Plumb}}'s "In My Arms" mentions the person the protagonist (who [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation depending on who you ask]] is either God or a mother) is talking about has blue eyes.
286-->"Your baby blues, so full of wonder/Your curly cues/Your contagious smile/And as I watch, you start to grow up/All I can do is hold you tight."
287* Music/RestlessHeart's "The Bluest Eyes in Texas," in which the singer is haunted by the eyes of the girl he abandoned to travel the country.
288-->''For every heart you break, you pay a price\
289But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes\
290The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight\
291Like the stars that fill the midnight sky, her memory fills my mind\
292(Where did I go wrong?) Did I wait too long? How can I make it right?\
293The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight''
294* Music/GeorgeStrait's "Baby Blue," in which baby blue is both the color of the sky when his love left and reminds him of the color of her eyes.
295-->''And baby blue was the color of her eyes\
296Baby blue like the Colorado skies\
297Like a breath of spring, she came and left\
298And I still don't know why\
299So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight''

306[[folder:Toys]]
307* No matter what her doll is or what character she "plays" in a DirectToVideo film, Franchise/{{Barbie}} always has blue eyes even when her hair is brown instead of its normal blonde. The [[DependingOnTheWriter main thing]] that has been consistent about her personality throughout the decades is how she is a selfless, sweet young woman. ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' exaggerates this to make her a ParodySue.

315* ''VideoGame/{{BioShock}}'':
316** Elizabeth, from ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'', has quite large and distinct blue eyes - which well-reflects her naive, good-hearted nature throughout the game, contrasting with gruff, cynical Booker. Considering the range of emotions she needs to exhibit, it is one of the most important aspects of her design, and [[spoiler:her baby self is instantly recognisable by her huge eyes, even in a scene which is DeliberatelyMonochrome. In ''Burial at Sea'', her character has developed into a cynical FemmeFatale and to reflect this, her wide and child-like eyes are replaced by a glare that can probably kill at thirty paces.]]
317** Eleanor, from ''VideoGame/BioShock2'', obviously has them as well, and is daddy's little girl, working to protect the Little Sisters and rejecting her mother's cynical cult philosophy - provided you don't harvest any Little Sisters.
318* In ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'', Android 21 has blue eyes and acts as a NiceGirl[[note]]well, in the Androids arc anyway[[/note]]. [[spoiler:She even retains them in the good version of her true form, unlike [[EnemyWithout her evil half]] who has BlackEyesOfCrazy.]]
319%%* Polka has them in ''VideoGame/EternalSonata''.
320* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
321** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Tidus has blue eyes, and happens to be new to combat and new to Spira, playing more towards the [[NaiveNewcomer 'naivete']] aspect of the trope. Yuna's left eye is blue; she happens to be an AllLovingHero, playing more into the 'pure of soul' aspect of the trope. This is most obvious when contrasted with the down to earth, cynical characters of Auron and Lulu, who both possess brown eyes.
322%%** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'': [[spoiler:As shown in "Episode Ardyn Prologue", Ardyn has blue eyes when he worked as a compassionate healer. After the daemons his body hosted ran rampant and he was denied by the Crystal, however, they would turn amber.]]
323* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
324** The [[WhiteMage bishop Lucius]] of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' has soft, shining blue eyes, and is an extremely gentle and kind NiceGuy. His kindness is enough that he [[spoiler:immediately forgives Renault, the man responsible for killing his father and getting him sent to an OrphanageOfFear]] during the course of the game, and he also manages to [[spoiler:convince his bitter, angry friend Raven to give up his destructive plans of revenge.]] This may overlap with HeavenlyBlue, as he wears a long, pale blue robe matching the color of his eyes.
325%%** [[SweetPollyOliver Lucina]] of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', combining this with LadyOfWar.
326* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has big blue eyes that somehow reflect his sweet, innocent, and kind-hearted nature. He is, appropriately, a cute angel and the main protagonist of the story.
327* The ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series features lots of characters with unique eye colors (blue, green, purple, ''yellow''). Following the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, the blue ones, though, tend to be possessed by the good guys:
328** [[TheHero Sora]] is the epitome of this trope, being a NaiveNewcomer and IdiotHero who has no clear aspiration before the journey and no idea that the world he lives in is ''very small'', only to be thrust into a much, much larger world. He's also an AllLovingHero, willing to befriend everyone, only using his keyblade expertise to defeat those bad heartless (which the series later reveals only purifies them; NobodyCanDie in this universe), and to perform a [[spoiler:(brief) HeroicSacrifice]]. Further into the series reveals that he's ''literally'' going to play [[MessianicArchetype the messiah role]], as he's destined to free those people suffering because of the BigBad's doing.
329*** His [[EmptyShell nobody]], Roxas, who inherits his blue eyes, is a bit looser in the naïve part as he's a quite TroubledButCute and is ''not'' an IdiotHero like Sora is. ''His'' doppelgänger, Ventus, on the other hand, plays this as straight as Sora, down to the IdiotHero part, and probably even more when you take into account that his darkness is separated, making him like a male [[PurityPersonified Princess of Heart]].
330** Then there's [[ImpliedLoveInterest Kairi]]. Her blue eyes are darker and are a bit purplish, but otherwise, she fits this trope, considering that, as a Princess of Heart, she is a literal PurityPersonified.
331*** Kairi's first doppelganger, Naminé, combines this with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold. Her bad actions are only because she's JustFollowingOrders, and unlike the [[{{Tomboy}} tomboyish]] Kairi, Naminé is a straight-up YamatoNadeshiko. Kairi's second doppelganger, Xion, too, especially when you take into account that she's [[spoiler:the first person sane enough to realize that the Organization XIII's plan is definitely ''not'' just.]]
332** Ventus' fellow protagonists in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]]'', Terra and Aqua, both have blue eyes in the same shade as his, but they may actually [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this trope, since, aside from their heroism, they're quite experienced, no-nonsense young adults. In addition, the former is an easily swayed GreenEyedMonster who [[spoiler:eventually fuses to become '''[[BigBad Xehanort]]''']].
333* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': Kirby is a pink [[AdorableAbomination puffball creature]]. He has [[BlackBeadEyes Blue Bead Eyes]] that add to his innocent and naïve nature.
334* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
335** Link has quite the large, heroic and idealistic variety.
336** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Saki has light blue eyes rather than the yellow and green eye colors of most [[BirdPeople Rito]] characters to indicate her more pacifistic nature compared to them, especially [[ActionDad her husband Teba]].
337* In ''VideoGame/LightningLegendDaigoNoDaibouken'', CheerfulChild Yuki Shirogane has this type of blue eyes. It's even pointed out in her in-game character profile, as the "distinctive features" part of it mentions: "Long hair; Big round eyes".
338* Liara T'Soni from ''Franchise/MassEffect'' has bright, innocent blue eyes, matching both [[TheIngenue her personality]] and [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe her skin color]]. Liara's eyes make for an interesting commentary on her alignment throughout the series. In the first game, she had the innocent blue variety, in stark contrast to her mother's darker, more piercing shade. In the second game, Liara's eyes become a darker but no less vibrant shade of blue, reflecting her hardening nature as she becomes more ruthless and vicious while hunting the Shadow Broker. It is most noticeable in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, where her face is visible without being lit by multiple orange holographic displays. However, if you carried a relationship over from the first game and re-established that relationship after the mission, she's back to the same baby blue she had before - perhaps reflecting your influencing her back to her old, optimistic worldview.
339* The heroic and happy ''VideoGame/PacMan'' has been given a dark blue, almost purple-ish blue, in his redesign. Oddly ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' gives him something more along the lines of CreepyBlueEyes.
340* Lip from ''VideoGame/PanelDePon'' has big cute blue eyes, befitting her roles as both the main character and one of the younger fairies.
341%%* Teddie's [[spoiler:human form]] in ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has these.
342* Several ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' protagonists, such as [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire May]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Hilda]], have these to indicate youthfulness.
343* In ''VideoGame/PotionPermit'', everyone in the Farmhouse family except for Garret has light blue eyes, showing how kind and open they are to the Chemist. Garret, on the other hand, has IcyBlueEyes because he's distrusting of the doctor.
344* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'':
345** Lidelle is a blue-eyed {{demihuman}} who is a FriendToAllLivingThings, but ridiculously shy towards most others. She is still one of the nicest characters in the series, even showing a big-brother affection for Satan of all people when she discovers he has horns like hers (she's [[FreakinessShame ashamed of having horns]], so this comes as a pleasant surprise to her).
346** Ess from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris'' subverts this as while she has blue eyes and does look innocent, she is actually a massive {{Jerkass}}.
347** There's also [[spoiler:Marle]] from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris2'', [[spoiler:the [[PhysicalGod Will of the Worlds]] who also happens to be a total sweetheart who loves to have fun. Her eyes have more of an amethyst shade to them though.]]
348* Kiel from ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'' has eyes that straddle the line between blue and grey, but a personality that's all NiceGuy. He's also a DitzyGenius and rather naive, playing to both sides of this trope.
349* ''Franchise/SilentHill'' examples:
350** In the [[VideoGame/SilentHill1 first game]], ''everyone'' except three (Cheryl, Kaufmann, and Jodie, who all have brown eyes) have blue eyes, but only the protagonist Harry fits this trope: a kind and naïve man [[PapaWolf who will risk anything to save his kidnapped daughter]].
351** In ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'', Laura, the youngest character in the cast, has blue eyes. Though she sometimes steers into the BrattyHalfPint territory, she is possibly the only innocent character in the game, considering [[spoiler:James']] actions. It's implied that due to this innocence, Laura sees Silent Hill the way it should be: a nice resort town, not the foggy and/or hellish world the others do. Plus, she is the only character in the game who [[spoiler:[[ImprobableInfantSurvival will survive unharmed to the very end]] regardless of what ending you get.]]
352* Red, the IdiotHero of ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}''. Director Frasier from the orphanage in Basset comments how Red's eyes tell her he's a good person.
353* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series:
354** Tails, though his eyes are a bit darker than the usual, is a KidSidekick and no less innocent.
355** Maria Robotnik also counts. She was an [[TheIngenue innocent]] [[ActualPacifist pacifist]] and also had [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blond hair]].
356%%* Slippy, Fay and Tricky from the ''Franchise/StarFox'' series.
357* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise:
358** Both Mario and Luigi have oval sky blue eyes, the former for being TheHero and the latter for his cowardly and shy nature.
359** The sweet-natured Princess Peach also has these for being TheHeart of the Mushroom Kingdom, as does the tomboyish and fun-loving Princess Daisy of Sarasaland.
360** The space princess Rosalina has pale blue-green eyes which represent her space travels and her role as the mother of the cosmos.
361* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'': Flynn Scifo has Innocent Blue Eyes to match his [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold golden hair]]. He is, appropriately, a KnightInShiningArmor.
362* Thrall from ''VideoGame/{{WarCraft}}'' has blue eyes that are actually both "baby blue" ''and'' piercing. That is, the colour looks both innocent and quite striking on an orc. Given his personality, that is probably exactly the intended effect. It also stands out, considering many orcs have ''[[RedEyesTakeWarning red]]'' eyes as a result of the demon blood they drank (Thrall's parents didn't).

365[[folder:Visual Novels]]
366* Aoi Asahina from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' gives off vibes of these, which is helped by the fact that she is one of the sweetest students in the game.
367* Subverted with Amanda in ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert''. Amanda seems innocent, but [[spoiler:she’s been secretly writing father-daughter erotica based on her own desires]].
368* Komari from ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' has blue eyes and HairOfGoldHeartOfGold, fitting her WideEyedIdealist personality.
369* Rena and Keiichi from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' are usually sweet and friendly teenagers. Rena is [[TheCutie cute,]] lovable, and energetic while Keiichi is an overall NiceGuy with a [[TheDeterminator determined]] attitude and heroic streak. [[spoiler:More than once their eyes signify IcyBlueEyes, usually when under the effects of [[HatePlague Hinamizawa Syndrome]], and they're meant to come off as creepy and signify that they're dangerous.]]
370* Arsenik from ''VisualNovel/War13thDay'' is a PrincelyYoungMan, with good intentions and a head of gold to go along [[http://askdreamgazer.tumblr.com/post/138162110667/name-arsenik-clan-hulder-mythological-origins with his blue eyes.]] [[spoiler:Of course, given the game's use of [[UnreliableNarrator unreliable narrators]], this may be open to debate.]]
371-->'''Ambrosia's Narration:''' When faced with his clear blue eyes, I could not lie from him even by omission.
372[[/folder]]
373
374[[folder:Webcomics]]
375* ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus'': [[CuteKitten Pixie's]] sclera are colored a light blue. This enhances her endearing appearance and underlines her friendly, innocent personality.
376* Kayla of ''Webcomic/{{Zoophobia}}''. Her pastel blue eyes represent her IncorruptiblePurePureness.
377* Chihiro from ''Webcomic/EveryButtonHurtsTheOtherGuy'', although in her case the trope may be being played with; she mostly fits the role of the wide-eyed and well-intentioned young girl, but her crush on Shota borders on the perverse.
378* Jordan of ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm'' has bright blue eyes and is extremely trusting. She also doesn't know that she works for the villain.
379* ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' has Theo, the protaganist. He's a NiceGuy with pale blue eyes. He's also very naive and is liable to see good in people that isn't actually there.
380* ''Webcomic/{{Tove}}'' features the title character whose eyes are often a shining blue, made more prominent by the fact that her eyes are usually the only ones drawn in color and are the only ones with pupils. They're most likely of the "inexperienced" flavor, as she is a teenage girl who is [[TheChosenOne The Chosen One]] destined to save the world.
381* ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie has blue eyes, and is quite the pure, shy girl starting out.
382* ''Webcomic/WetSand'': Jo has bright sea green eyes, representing his youth and bright innocence that his love interest Ian craves.
383[[/folder]]

385[[folder:Web Original]]
386* Gaelyn matches her blue hair, with a gorgeous set of warm blue eyes. And as usual for the series, she gets a series of close-ups that show them off to the most. See her entry in the [[Characters/EchoChamber Character Page]] for an example.
387* Eieon from ''WesternAnimation/ShadowsOfThePast'' is said to have pure blue eyes that complement his pacifism. This work is a machinima so the eyes were not shown.
388[[/folder]]
389
390[[folder:Western Animation]]
391* ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'': Both Blaze and Gabby have blue eyes. Blaze is the heroic monster truck who loves adventure, while Gabby is the feisty mechanic who can fix anything.
392* Danny Fenton from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' is the heroic, usually nice KidHero protagonist of the series. His Danny Phantom ghost form, however, has neon green eyes.
393* Most Autobots in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' have blue eyes so that viewers can easily identify them as the good guys.
394* Timmy Turner of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. His eyes represent his youth, he's ten years old, and arguably his innocence. He is also arguably the hero of the series, albeit a DesignatedHero many times.
395* Charlotte from ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'' is an odd example: every human character is ''completely'' one color, and she is [[TrueBlueFemininity baby blue.]] This trope could be why, rather than using [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] or yellow or something more "fitting" for her personality. She fits the character type, being [[NaiveEverygirl innocent, childish, naive]] and [[ThePollyAnna optimistic]]. It causes her to contrast with [[EnfantTerrible Vendetta]], who is completely moss-green, filling in for the negative Green eyes.
396* Bubbles from ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls''. Her blue eyes represent her youth and her sweetness. Her element is sugar and she is known for being bubbly, kind and the cutest of the trio.
397* While ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' uses a standard black eyes style, WordOfGod says that T.J. has blue eyes. He's nine years old and very youthful, has an innocence about him, and is also TheHero of the show.
398%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenandStimpyShow'': It's hard to tell because his eyes look like black dots most of the time, but in close-ups, Stimpy has these.
399* WesternAnimation/SpeedBuggy. He has blue eyes and is quite possibly the nicest talking car you will ever meet.
400* WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} is a KindheartedSimpleton who is drawn with blue eyes in certain appearances, such as in ''WesternAnimation/KnightForADay'', ''WesternAnimation/TwoGunGoofy'', ''How to Sleep'', and certain episodes of ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop''.
401* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. He has an innocence about him. He is, also, the hero of the series, or at least, he is so in the movie.
402* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Two prominent examples:
403** Pinkie Pie has bright blue eyes, and is childish, optimistic, and considers it her purpose in life to make others happy.
404** Fluttershy is also blue-eyed and is innocent, kind and a FriendToAllLivingThings. Though hers have a slight green hue which relates to her connection with nature.
405** [[spoiler:Princess Flurry Heart, the infant daughter of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance,]] also has very bright, blue eyes like her father.
406* Princess Sofia from ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', which matches her PrincessClassic status. She is innocent (to the point of being naive) [[FriendToAllLivingThings friendly to animals and people alike]], rarely thinks bad of someone (if she does, it is downplayed and justified), and she is also very modest, humble and carefree.
407* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': Ezra Bridger has enormous, deep blue eyes. Mess with his friends though, and they can quickly become IcyBlueEyes.
408* ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'': The male Super Readers, Whyatt/Super Why, Pig/Alpha Pig and Woofster, all have blue eyes (though Pig's eyes are slightly teal-ish). Whyatt is brainy, kind and heroic, Pig is vulnerable but brave and smart, and Woofster is playful.
409* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' has blue eyes. She was originally a HeartWarmingOrphan and later became the savior of Rainbow Land and is now TheLeader of the Color Kids.
410* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'':
411** Jerrica and her sister Kimber both have blue eyes. Jerrica is the NiceGuy protagonist of the series while Kimber is the youngest main character. Both are a part of a band whose songs are almost all about friendship, romance, and charity.
412** Stormer is a member of The Misfits and thus she is an antagonist, but she is consistently the TokenGoodTeammate of the band. She doesn't do mean things unless she's doing it alongside the others, and even then [[EvenEvilHasStandards she draws the line]] at certain things. Stormer is the only Misfit on good terms with a Hologram (Kimber).
413* Matt Average and his mother from ''WesternAnimation/MattsMonsters'' has them.
414* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Sean has cotton-candy blue eyes. He's dorky, a bit shy yet virtuous. However, animation inconsistencies can make them look green or grey.
415* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' uses BlackDotPupils, however, the pilot featured a close-up of Tommy's eye and revealed it to be blue. He is the confident, cheerful protagonist and is very innocent (Tommy is a baby after all).
416* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
417** Quack Quack, the youngest and possibly most innocent of the show's four main characters, is also the only one with blue eyes. The remaining three main characters, all of whom have {{jerkass}} tendencies to varying degrees, have red ones instead.
418** Of Stumpy's seven younger sisters, Ardoise, Nombril, Lavanade, and Violasse, who are all relatively sweet and innocent, have blue eyes. Poucave, who is morally gray, and Cramoisie, who is an outright bully, have red and green eyes respectively.
419* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' has Gadget Hackwrench, who has pale blue eyes is very sweet and innocent, to the point of naivete.
420* ''WesternAnimation/PhantomInvestigators'': Daemona and Casey both have blue eyes. Daemona is the heroic, optimistic, and kindhearted leader of the gang, while Casey is very innocent and sweet.
421* ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'': The team leader and hero [[CatGirl Catboy]] got these big blue heroic eyes standing for his [[https://pj-masks.fandom.com/wiki/File:Catboy_Improv_16.png heroism]] and true blue kindness plus [[https://pj-masks.fandom.com/wiki/File:Pure_Kitty_Cuteness.png kitty cuteness]].
422* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Lindsay, the DumbBlonde who has blue eyes and lacks a genuine malicious backbone on her, being that she's very sweet and good-natured, [[KindheartedSimpleton even to her enemies]].
