This sounds like shapeshifting based on the shapeshifter\'s own emotional state, while the trope is about shapeshifting \
to:
This sounds like shapeshifting based on the shapeshifter\\\'s own emotional state, not anything external.
* \\\'\\\'Literature/WildCards\\\'\\\':
** All Jokers have a form of empathic shapeshifting, except it\\\'s one-shot only (during initial infection), self-imposed, unconscious and uncontrollable, and ends in permanent ShapeshifterModeLock. According to Dr. Tachyon, the Wild Card Virus takes a random-- or maybe not so random-- image from the subconscious, and amplifies it to telekinetically influence how the virus is rebuilding the body. This explains why some jokers have animal or mythological forms, and why some Aces have overly specific powers.
* \\\'\\\'Literature/WhateleyUniverse\\\'\\\':
** Most mutants actually change their appearance (involuntarily and unconsciously) to match their ideal self-image. Again, usually comes with ShapeshifterModeLock.
Similarly, shapeshifting to forms that are \\\"self-imposed\\\" or matching their \\\"ideal self-image\\\" seems to be missing the required external influence from the environment and/or other people.
I\\\'ve removed these examples for now. If you know of additional context that makes these valid examples, please add them back with the additional information.
