* In ''Manga/AkatsukiNoYona'', out of the Four Dragons, Kija and Shin-Ah possess more noticeable physical traits, excluding the [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair colors]]. Kija's right hand is a dragon claw and Shin-Ah's eyes are not only [[WhatBeautifulEyes stunning]] but also have red markings underneath them.

* The principal rival to Josie James in Archie Comics' ''She's Josie'' series is Alexandra Cabot, who is an unremarkable bobbed brunette with witchcraft powers. When the characters were adapted by {{Creator/Hanna-Barbera}} Studios into WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats in 1970, Alexandra was remodeled into a raven ponytail with a distinctive white SkunkStripe; however, the cartoon Alexandra has no magical powers. The success of the cartoon show compelled Archie Comics to RetCon their ''Josie'' characters, resulting in the current Alexandra having the distinctive SkunkStripe '''and''' witchcraft powers.

** '"TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' gives extreme amounts of variation with its "Blood of Angels" and "Blood of Fiends" sourcebooks, which include sizable 2e-esque random trait lists and fully detailed explanations of traits typical to aasimar who strongly connect to their celestial ancestor.

* In TheMortalInstruments, warlocks have a distinguishing mark that's unique to each one. Magnus Bane has cat eyes, Catarina Loss has blue skin and white hair, and Ragnor Fell has ram horns, green skin and an extra joint in each finger. In the spinoff TheInfernalDevices, Tessa, [[spoiler: despite being a warlock, does not have a mark because her mother was a Shadowhunter.]] This is basically her distinguishing mark.

Supertrope to MysticalWhiteHair and SupernaturalGoldEyes.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': According to the 3E {{splat}}book ''[[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Races of Faerun]]'', aasimar, humans with a good-aligned outsider (anything from an angel to a couatl to a god) somewhere in their ancestry, can range from being quite human-looking to obviously supernatural, but even the humanlike ones generally have at least one identifying mark that belies this. An aasimar descended from a [[OurAngelsAreDifferent solar]] frequently has vestigial feather patches at the shoulder blades, and one descended from a celestial serving a deity may have a birthmark in the shape of that god's holy symbol.

* In ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'', the main character, who is a telepath and telekinetic, has a yellow star mark on his forehead to indicate this.

A unique physical trait a character possesses marks them as being magical or supernatural in some way like being an alien or a shapeshifter. This could range from having mismatched eyes, unusual hair or eye colours, and any other odd features. These traits can be part of a GlamourFailure if they give away a character's true form.

* In ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' , gate keepers can be identified by their different colored eyes. Wakaba has an orange right eye and a brown left eye.

* Farideh, heroine of Literature/BrimstoneAngels has one silver eye and one gold eye and her twin sister Havilar has two gold eyes because they are tieflings (humanoids with devil ancestry).

* In ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'', the pope of Arunafeltz and her twin brother has opposite-color heterochromia. Apparently, this was one of the reasons she was chosen as pope. The other reasons was her hair and skin color.

* In ''Webcomic/DoomsdayMyDear'' the main character has one blue and one green eye because this is a trait of a carrier of the Blood Plague. Several other characters turn out to have this undesirable trait as the comic progresses

** SCP-040 has a pink hair and a [[BlackEyesOfCrazy Black Eye Of Crazy]] (although she herself isn't crazy).

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' the only outward physical difference between alien Leela and all the humans is she [[{{Cyclops}} only has one eye]]. Subverted later though, as we learn that she's not an alien - she's just a mutant. Since mutants are an opressed minority and aliens aren't, her parents left her as a DoorstopBaby at an orphanarium, leaving a note saying she was alien in order for her to have a better life.
* [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]: After Zhao [[spoiler: kills the Moon Spirit, Tui]], Yue becomes despondent believing there was no longer any hope for her people. However, Iroh takes note of [[MysticalWhiteHair her hair color]] and recognized its significance.

* The main character of Ann Downer's ''Spellkey Trilogy'' has one green eye and one blue (which is a sign of magical power in that world).

** SCP-040 has a pink hair and a BlackEyeOfCrazy (although she herself isn't crazy).

* [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]: After Zhao [[spoiler: kills the Moon Spirit, Tui]], Yue becomes despondent believing there was no longer any hope for her people. However, Iroh takes note of [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl her hair color]] and recognized its significance.

Supertrope to WhiteHairedPrettyGirl and SupernaturalGoldEyes.

* In the world of Marus, as depicted in ''AdventuresInOdyssey'''s Passages tie-in episode, different-colored eyes are recognized as a sign of prophecy. Interworldly interloper Alice physically goes from having brown eyes to blue and green, then loses them again when her time as The Unseen One's messenger is up.
