A character with a freakish appearance, experiencing loneliness, happens to stumble into a blind person who doesn't realize that the freak is not quite human. They strike up a friendship or even romance, and the audience learns An Aesop that blind people might be better than we are because they are quicker to recognize inner beauty. Usually the deception doesn't last forever, but by the time the blind person finds out what the other "looks" like, they've already come to appreciate the person inside. Compare Freaky Is Cool, Unseen Pen Pal. |

Spider-Ninja: Chapter 33 sees Leonardo stranded in an alleyway with a gashed leg. He's helped by a blind man, who introduces himself as George Stacy, a former police captain who was forced to retire after losing his eyesight from a blow to the head. Subverted when he reveals near the end of the chapter that he knew almost from the start that Leo wasn't human; he didn't say anything because Leo saved Gwen Stacy from being mugged a few days before. | |

In Penny Dreadful, the Creature takes temporary employment at a wax museum, where he's treated kindly by the owner's blind daughter. Cruelly subverted when she reveals that she's fully in cahoots with her parents' scheme to imprison the Creature as a live freak-show addition to their museum, and that she finds his personality tiresome. | |

In the original Frankenstein, the monster learns to speak by hiding in a house where a blind old man, his son, daughter, and daughter-in-law live and listening to them talk. After a while, he approaches the old man while the others are out and asks for his help. But the rest of the family returns at this point and chases the monster away. This experience leads the monster to vow revenge on Victor Frankenstein. | |

A variation happens in Franken Fran, when Fran operates on a painter's eyes and gives him the ability to see a wider spectrum of wavelengths. He is utterly horrified by the things he sees and flees into the woods, when he meets a fair and elfin woman-like being and falls in love. He later returns a happy man and presents Fran with a painting of his lover; although the reader can't see it, Fran's assistant can, and he is utterly horrified. | |

Bleach: Sajin Komamura (monster) and Kaname T�sen (blind). The interesting twist is that Komamura is a good guy while T�sen pulls a Face–Heel Turn. When T�sen regains his sight, he calls Komamura ugly. As he dies, he apologizes for saying that. | |

The Dark Angel episode "Hello, Goodbye" deals with a friendship between genetically engineered dog-man Joshua and a blind girl named Annie. She spends much of the episode talking about wanting to "see" him by feeling his face, something that he's understandably reluctant to do. He ends up having one of his more human-looking friends "stand in" for him. In the next episode, "Dawg Day Afternoon", he eventually lets her "see" his real face after they're both chased into the sewers by local youths who want to hurt him, and she accepts him even though he's obviously not all human. She does bring up the potential unfortunate implications of this trope; although she doesn't hate Joshua, she's miffed that he took advantage of the fact she couldn't see. Later, the Man In Black from the Ancient Conspiracy learns of their friendship and snaps her neck to frame the only people that the public knows have Super-Strength for the murder. | |

Becker: Subverted when Jake (a blind black man) ends up going out with a blind white woman, but it ends in tears when he mentions his skin colour offhand several weeks later and she turns out to be a racist. Another episode deals with a unique twist on this trope... Jake starts dating a gorgeous woman, but the longer they date she stops wearing makeup, fixing her hair, or dressing nicely, essentially turning herself into a "Beast". Jake ends up breaking up with her because he feels like she's taking advantage of his blindness. |

Bruce Coville's Book of... Spine Tinglers: "The Sight of the Basilisk" is narrated by a basilisk long ago left to guard a treasure-filled tomb. Some robbers force a blind boy into the tomb to steal stuff for them, and the basilisk strikes up a conversation with him. The story ends with the boy hiding the basilisk in his clothes, and taking him out when the robbers demand to see what he found in the tomb. | |

Played with in a deleted scene from the remake of The Wolfman (2010). The beast crashes a masked party, drawn to the voice of a blind singer's solo. The party members don't scream because they think he's in (excellent) costume. The blind singer delicately reaches out to feel his face, having stopped singing to inspect the huffing and growling in front of her. Just when the wolf man is about to let her touch his face and establish the only nonviolent interaction the beast had in the entire movie, a guest suddenly tugs on his sleeve to interrupt. The rampage continues, starting with that guest having werewolf fangs in his skull and leaving the party with the singer intact, splattered with blood that isn't hers. | |

Young Frankenstein heavily parodies Bride of Frankenstein, even unto the point of subversion. The blind hermit's hospitality to the monster proves rather painful, as he keeps unknowingly injuring his guest (by, for instance, pouring hot soup into his lap instead of into his bowl). | |

In the Discworld novel Feet of Clay, one of the regulars at a bar for the undead is Mrs. Gammage, a nearly-blind gray-haired and rather senile old lady who thinks it's the same (normal) bar she patronized decades ago. She thinks the other monsters are just regulars and is friendly to all of them, and they take care of her in kind; anyone who bothers her won't live long enough to regret it. | |

The protagonist Mizu of Blue Eye Samurai is raised as an orphan by a blind swordmaker who is unaware that his charge is actually a half-white girl who is regarded as monstrous by everyone else in Japan. At one point Mizu feels guilty and blurts out the truth about her mixed blood, but he refuses to disown her. When Mizu leaves on her Roaring Rampage of Revenge she tries to confess the second part, but the swordmaker makes it clear that he's not interested in hearing it. In fact it's highly likely he's known all along, given his emphasis on leaving his care as "a man". | |

In an episode of Misfits, both Curtis and Rudy try to flirt with an attractive blind girl who is making sculptures using their faces as models. The plot proceeds in typical Misfits fashion, as she rejects Curtis because despite being blind, she's a virulent racist. Then Rudy pursues her (while making repeated references to Lionel Richie, see Music) but he forgoes his normal Casanova Wannabe attitude to make a principled stand against her racism featuring Rudy-isms about how racism and blindness should "cancel out" and how Stevie Wonder proves his point... somehow. | |

In The Phantom of the Opera (MazM), the titular Phantom thought that this was going to be the case with his blind Turkish maid, Melek, since she can't see his corpselike deformities and he expected her to be impressed by his talents and achievements. Defied because, as she was his interpreter for a time, she knew about the instruments of war and torture he created for the sultan and she hated him without even knowing what he looked like. The Phantom, being desensitized to his own atrocities, is baffled and enraged by this. | |

In Red Dragon, Francis Dolarhyde falls in love with Reba McClane partly because she's blind and can't see his cleft lip, although it's strongly implied that most women he knew were attracted to him already — he's in very good shape. He just thinks of his cleft lip as being a much greater problem than it actually is, because, well, he's not a very emotionally well man. There's a moment of irony when she says she could tell he had some mouth abnormalities by the way he talked, avoiding certain sounds, but she of course didn't mind. | |

The title hero of The Toxic Avenger (a mutant) has a blind girlfriend. A smokin' hot one. When she is finally given sight for the first time in the third film, she sees her hot doctor and screams in horror, but thought that her freaky mutated beau was the sexiest man alive. Subverted in the cartoon show based on the series. The girlfriend is not blind, just really stupid. The cartoon also parodies this trope by having the girlfriend be incredibly nearsighted and, as luck would have it, having forgot her glasses when she first runs into Toxie. He figures that when she proclaims him to be incredibly handsome, it's because she just can't see him well. When she finds her glasses and screams at the sight of him, he figures it's because she thinks he's hideous... but really it's because she thinks his tie is really ugly. |

Hudson befriends Jeffrey Robbins, a blind veteran, in Gargoyles. Like every character in the series, he ends up becoming a recurring character. Though later in a twist, Robbins reveals that he suspected Hudson wasn't human all along, which is good because he now needs to help him out—Hudson's sight is going and they need to find someone discreet enough to do the surgery. Jeffrey finds a doctor for him and goes with him to the operation. | |

Subverted in an episode of Will & Grace in which Will, who is a good-looking man, is set up on a date with a blind man. (Leads to a sort of Who's on First? incident when he realizes it's a literal blind date.) The man asks to feel Will's face so he can "see" him, which Will permits, and then the guy complains that just because he's blind, people always set him up with ugly dates. It is then revealed to be a prank, engineered by Jack for his new reality show "Pink'd" ("a non-derivative version of Punk D"), playing on Will's insecure vanity for humor. | |

Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk: An old blind tramp who looks a lot like Stan Lee advises the Hulk that maybe puny humans would stop trying to hurt him if he showed a little kindness. Hulk thinks he's right. Subverted when the tramp is actually a disguised Batman, who needs the Hulk to go with the Joker (long story). | |

In a late episode of Taxi, Louie DePalma falls in love with a blind girl. While she undergoes an operation to restore her sight, he frets about whether she will reject him when she sees him. One thing he does while stewing is pluck out some of his eyebrow hairs. When the woman finally sees him, he's exactly like she expected, except that she pictured him having more hair in his eyebrows.. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Wulfric is a demonic-looking Blade who is nonetheless very friendly. One Heart-to-Heart scene can result in him guiding an elderly lady with poor eyesight back to her house, while the townspeople look on aghast; she, on the other hand, is quite happy to be helped by (what she assumes to be) such a strapping young man. | |

Subverted in Castle Freak (1995): Rebecca, being blind, cannot see the titular monster Giorgio's hideous appearance when they meet face to face, and mistakes him for her mother, prattling on about her feelings to him as he waits on her attentively. Given his utterly horrific backstory this could be an opportunity for a face turn, but instead of a rapport built between them Rebecca is repulsed by the feral and completely insane Giorgio's true nature, as he grabs her up and carries her off to his dungeon to rape her. | |

Turned on its head in Case Closed; a rich blind woman states her surprise that Conan is a seven-year old, as she had previously believed him to be a teenager whose voice hadn't cracked yet. Of course, Conan really is a teenager in a kid's body, and gets even more tense when the lady whispers to him that "I can see things others can't see". | |

Starship: When Bug, the main character and a young bug, first meets February, a human Starship ranger who has been "wrangled" (taken captive and temporarily blinded) for the purpose of having eggs implanted in her chest, they fall for each other. This is at least partially owed to the combination of Bug's impeccable English and the fact that February can't see that he's not actually human. | |

Subverted in Futurama, in which all of the other kids at the orphanage Leela grew up in made fun of her for having one eye, including the blind kid. Leela points out the hypocrisy of a blind person making fun of someone else for anything eye-related, and he just replies, "My eyes may not work, but at least I have two of them!" Played straight (with a twist) in "Stench and Stenchibility". Zoidberg is unable to find a woman who can stand his bodily odor, until he meets Marianne, a flower girl who has no sense of smell. However, Zoidberg loves Marianne so much he performs an operation that will finally let her smell even though she'll most likely be repulsed by him. She's not. Since she never learned the difference between a good smell and a bad smell, she grows to love Zoidberg's stench because she loves him so much. |

Before she introduces him to her maids, though, she warns them that she has lied to him about her age.

Preacher: Arseface eventually meets Lorrie Bobbs, a girl who doesn't see reality quite as it is, as she's severely inbred and has a neurological disorder. She thinks he's gorgeous, and it looks as if they're going to live happily ever after. Even better, Lorrie was born with only an eye, she looks like a cyclops. Both characters are subversions of The Grotesque: They are the two only true decent people of all the cast and for that, they will Earn Your Happy Ending: In Preacher, everyone is a grotesque freak. Except the guy with an arse for a face and the one eyed girl. | |

Something similar happens to Beast in X-Men: The Animated Series. Oddly, Hank thinks Carly is unaware he's a mutant, even though she previously made a joke about his fur. (Though that may be due to her father.) And when her sight is eventually restored (thanks to Beast's help), one of her first comments is how nice she thinks his soft blue fur looks. | |

In Superman & Batman: Generations III, one of Darkseid's new Parademons gets separated from its unit and encounters an old blind woman who treats it kindly. In return it tells her its story, including the fact that it's part of a new breed designed with the ability to think and reason for themselves. Subverted when it's revealed that the woman is actually Supergirl, disguised using a Mother Box, and she snaps the Parademon's neck so none of the other heroes learn of their sentience and have qualms about fighting them. | |

Judge Dredd: Judge Death successfully hid inside a Mega-City One apartment for several weeks because the old landlady was almost completely blind and deaf. He seemed to be a bit amused by her obliviousness and ignored her, but her other tenant wasn't so lucky. The Megazine had a story where a blind Mega-City One citizen stumbled upon Judge Fear sitting on a park bench but didn't notice that he was an alien ghoul and sat down next to him. They had a fairly pleasant conversation while the bodies of joggers, families, and Judges who got too close to Fear's deadly gaze kept piling up in front of them. |

A variation in the Doctor Who special "Last Christmas", in which the Doctor's alien face-blindness leads to him being unable to perceive that Clara is now a very old woman, and still seeing her as being very beautiful. It turns out to be another Dream Within a Dream created by the parasitic Dream Crabs, but he's similarly unable to tell whether she's old or young in real life when they finally wake up (which was a brief gag in a previous episode as well). | |

In Beastly, when the cursed Kyle asks his father for a tutor, his father sends him a blind one even though Kyle didn't specify that part. Played with in that Kyle nonetheless tells his tutor upfront what he really looks like, but Will is still one of the only people who doesn't treat him as if he's a monster. This also gets a nod at the end of the book, when Kyle breaking his curse leads to a loophole that gets the tutor back his eyesight. When the tutor sees him for the first time, he's confused because he was expecting Kyle to still look like a monster. | |

Due to his blindness, he doesn't know who she is and gets to know her while she's recuperating in his cabin without the baggage of her being the Wicked Witch of the West, and they come to care for each other. As might be expected, when the truth comes out he doesn't accept her, but it isn't because of her past reputation; it's because his children Hansel and Gretel make it back home themselves before she can rescue them and they reveal how she originally declined to save them from the Candy Witch. | |

The book, There's A Wolf In My Pudding, offers alternate versions of classic fairy tales. One of the tales is a prequel to Beauty and the Beast telling what happened to the prince right after he became a beast, and before meeting Beauty. After frightening off the entire village, the Beast comes across an old blind man. The man had no idea who he was, or what had happened to him. The Beast, feeling as though he would at least not be alone in this predicament offers him a place to stay in his castle and the two become friends. Sadly, the old man dies after about a year, leaving the Beast grief stricken. | |

Family Guy rather dickishly parodies Mask by having Diana overcome with a combination of disgust and abject confusion when she finally feels Rocky's face. | |

Buu of Dragon Ball Z meets a blind kid who didn't know his appearance. After realizing he wasn't frightened, Buu figured out the problem and used his magic to heal the boy's eyes. Afterwards the boy was very grateful, and still didn't find anything unusual about Buu's appearance because Buu was the first person he'd ever actually seen, thus he had no basis for comparison. Buu, happy that someone is treating him with kindness rather than fear, doesn't kill the kid, hinting that he isn't as pure evil as everyone assumes he is. | |

One episode of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger introduces the Kishiryu Dimevolcano, who has a fearsome appearance. Dimevolcano strikes up a friendship with a boy in the hospital with bandages over his eyes. Ultimately, after various adventures, the bandages are removed and the boy, naturally, is not scared of Dimevolcano. | |

Fantastic Four: This is how the Thing and Alicia Masters started their relationship in the series. There were many times, though, that he worried that the only reason she was with him was because she couldn't see how ugly he was (never mind that she has felt his face, knows it's rocky, and she is also a sculptor who has seen fit to use him as a subject a number of times.) Subverted with his later girlfriend (and eventual fiance) Debbie Green who could see just fine and still thought he was attractive. |

Hanako Ikezawa from Katawa Shoujo was left disfigured (but not horribly so) in a fire. Lilly, her best friend, is blind since birth. However it's actually reversed, as with her severe emotional scars to go along with her physical ones, Hanako seems to be the only one who thinks that she's a monster being shunned by the other kids at the orphanage where she grew up after the house fire that killed her parents and scarred her does that to a person. While not everyone is repulsed by her appearance, many of those who are not, such as Hisao, often act awkwardly while trying to avoid looking at her scars, and Hisao suspects that as that does not apply to Lilly, it was easier for her to befriend Hanako. | |

Used in Fantastic Four (2005): Ben Grimm's fiancée leaves him after his transformation into The Thing. Later, he's drowning his sorrows in a bar and meets Alicia Masters, a blind girl. Alicia does soon touch his face and learn the truth, which averts the trope a bit. Brings up a valid question: | |

Bride of Frankenstein features a sequence where the monster is befriended by a blind hermit, inspired by a similar sequence in the original novel (see below). | |
