Renamed one trope.

Blue Eyes is being split into different tropes (Creepy Blue Eyes,Innocent Blue Eyes, Occult Blue Eyes and Icy Blue Eyes) as per this thread because it\'s not just about having that eye colour, it\'s about what traits blue eyes supposed to symbolise and blue eyes is constantly being misused for \"X has blue eyes\", so anything that doesn\'t fit the split off tropes or Zero Content Examples will be removed. This goes for most of the Common Eye Colours tropes as well


* BlueEyes: Emilia.
