1	'''Basic Trope''': For one reason or another, a character doesn't want another look at them for too long.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** Alice gets scarred from an accident and doesn't want Bob to see her face.
4	** [[UnmanlySecret Bob is indulging in an embarrassing pastime]], and [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown Alice walks in on him]].
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** Alice is turned into a monster, so she doesn't want Bob to see her like this.
7	** Alice doesn't even want people to see her for even a split second, or will become incredibly agitated.
8	* '''Downplayed''': Alice gets a zit and begs Bob not to look.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** Alice is vain and fears Bob would like her less if she wasn't pretty.
11	** Alice's "new look" is [[UncannyValley frightening]].
12	* '''Inverted''': Alice ''wants'' Bob to look at her.
13	* '''Subverted''':
14	** From what we see in the mirror, Alice is actually very pretty; she just wants to keep her appearance a surprise for a later event.
15	** Alice has horribly low self-esteem. She sees herself as ugly, while she's actually rather average or even beautiful.
16	* '''Double Subverted''':
17	** ...Except for the fact that Alice is a narcissist: she sees herself in the mirror as she'd like to see herself, and that's what the audience sees first too. It turns out her appearance is a complete mess.
18	** Bob reassures her: She isn't ugly, by their society's standards. However, he himself has other standards, and does find her horrible to look at.
19	* '''Parodied''': ???
20	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
21	* '''Averted''': Alice is not ashamed of her appearance.
22	* '''Enforced''': Alice must not be shown onscreen in her new appearance/character design at the moment ; it must be revealed next season, at the same time as [[TheMerch the new batch of action figures]]...
23	* '''Lampshaded''': ???
24	* '''Invoked''': ???
25	* '''Exploited''': "I know! If we kiss, everyone will look away in embarrassment."
26	* '''Defied''': [[ButYourWingsAreBeautiful Bob thinks she's even prettier like this.]]
27	* '''Discussed''': ???
28	* '''Conversed''': ???
