for the description:

Historically this is probably inspired by canines, and birds of prey like foxes, some types of wolves, and owls, which can have Amber, yellow, or Orange iris's, and are associated with being conniving, clever, and wise. Also reptiles and toads are sometimes [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent associated with villainy]], and can have yellow eyes. Ironically in these animals what you're usually seeing are larger irises which were probably mistaken for a yellow sclera.

In real life yellow and brown in the sclera, or the cornea in people is unhealthy. It's usually a symptom of allergies or some kind of disease.

Film Animated
*''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'': The main villain of the movie, Professor Ratigan, has a yellow sclera, and has an EvilPlan to take over a kingdom.
*''Disney/TheLionKing'': The Hyenas and Scar both have yellow scleras, Scar is using the hyenas as minions, that help him perform a Coup De tat so he can become the new king.

I'd also change the Laconic to say something like "when the whites of the eyes are yellow" that's when the character is sneaky. So people know that it's different from SuperNaturalGoldEyes
