St Fan deleted Red Right Hand with this edit reason: It doesn't really fit here.

• Red Right Hand: Three possessor of mismatched eyes that marked them as evil characters: assholish victim of the week, his son (who appears to be a perpetrator, and is, but manages to play an innocent victim), and the son's puppet which he presents as his evil alter-ego.

It was originally troped as Mismatched Eyes, which is now only listed on Ambiguity Index.

When a character has differently colored eyes, it may represent one of the following:

• Duality Motif: Differently colored eyes foreshadow/reinforce a dual nature about the character.
• Electronic Eye: One eye is cybernetic.
• Glass Eye: One of their eyes is a prosthesis.
• Magical Eye: One eye grants them magical powers.
• Mark of the Supernatural: Marks the character as special in some way, whether as magical, nonhuman, or something else entirely.
• Red Right Hand: To foreshadow/reinforce something evil about the character.
• Shared Unusual Trait: Two or more characters have differently colored eyes because they're related or connected somehow.

To me, Red Right Hand seems to be "it" — foreshadowing that the character is villainous. Though I don't insist... I'm not that sure.

Opinions?
