I'm inclined to think it's limited to reflections, although Trope Finder might be useful in identifying if tropers generally think that the trope of "astral projection reveals something about the character that their regular appearance doesn't" is still The Mirror Shows Your True Self.

^Alright, I'll ask there.
I'm still working on the Hybrid X Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia page and need clarification on the The Mirror Shows Your True Self trope.
According to the description, it seems to be strictly about mirrors only, but I've seen variants where magic caves and astral projection also reveal the true self. Hybrid x Heart's take on it uses the "Love Room" (essentially their version of a holodeck) to reflect each girl's inner kink.
So my question is: Does The Mirror Shows Your True Self allow for such variations, or is there another trope like it that does?
