If a character has an element of duality to their nature, such as a Superpowered Evil Side, mixed-species ancestry, result of a Fusion Dance, a Split Personality, mastery of Yin-Yang Bomb, or even something as simple as a Tsundere's two distinct moods, this duality can be foreshadowed or visually reinforced by introducing a dual nature to their visual design. Whether it's two-tone clothes, mismatched eyes, or hair that changes color at the part, the two sides of their character come out in their appearance. This aesthetic link can be a rule of the universe, such as all werewolves having a brown eye and a blue eye, or a fortuitous in-universe coincidence. Not every case of duality in appearance is part of a greater motif for the character—and would thus not be this trope—but if attention is drawn to both the outward and inward sides, particularly if by another character, then there's little doubt that the former is there to draw emphasis to the latter. A Duality Motif is inherently limited to single characters, with many other tropes covering visual contrast between characters. The one exception is when two people form The Dividual—including Single-Minded Twins—the contrast between the two bodies can highlight contrast in the shared personality. Commonplace for the Liminal Being and sometimes appear during Liminal Time. This trope may be Older Than Print - depictions of Jesus from 565 AD show a distinctive asymmetry◊ in his face that may have implied the theological concept of the Hypostatic Union. See Hiding Behind Your Bangs and Two-Faced for visual designs that can be—but are not always—used for this effect. Examples |

In Jostein Gaarder's philosophical novel Maya, the character Laura has one brown eye and one green eye. The narrator thinks of this as somehow connected to her dual nature — one side of her seems to care for all living things and the planet as a whole, while the other side seems to care about everything in the world except human beings. | |

In Abraxas (Hrodvitnon), Monster X has this in their final form, specifically the heterochromic eye form. Their right eye is hazel-green and their left eye is red, reinforcing their Two Beings, One Body duality as a fusion of Vivienne Graham (green eye) and San (red eye, the former left head of Ghidorah) and also the deeper Sibling Yin-Yang themes in the duo's relationship and dynamic with each other. | |

Sleepless Domain: Flash Cut wears a dress with a prominent light and dark orange stripe, and a distinctive headband with two orange ribbons. These design elements play into her primary ability — to split herself in two. When she does, one of her clones is light orange while the other is dark orange, and each one has the opposite side of her hair ribbon larger than the other. | |

The Lyrical Nanoha series has two examples: Vivio, from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS has heterochromia, to indicate her alternate "Sankt Kaiser" function (as the clone of the original Sankt Kaiser Olivier) and adult form. Like half the cast, she's an Artificial Human. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid (which as the name implies, stars Vivio as the main character), Einhart Stratos also has heterochromia. Like Vivio, she has an adult form, based on her ancestry to another Belkan Ruler, Hegemon Ingvalt. |

Naruto Like One Piece's Inazuma, Zetsu also has a white half and a black one. The white is loud, brash and a humorist while the black is serious and composed. They can even split in half. Karin is a lesser example: The left half of her hair is straight, while the right one is spiky and unkempt. It's to emphasize her Mood-Swinger nature. |

On the Dream SMP, Ranboo is half-enderman/half-something-else, has a distinctive black-and-white design, and has heterochromatic eye colours (green and red, respectively). To a lesser extent, this also applies to his beliefs, in that his people-over-factions philosophy often leads to him helping more than one side in a given conflict. | |

Allelujah Haptism from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 has a gray eye and a gold one. His hair always obscures one of the two, cluing any viewers into whether it is he or his evil Split Personality Hallelujah that is currently in control. In the end, he ends up pulling his hair back to reveal both eyes, allowing both personalities to simultaneously control his body, giving him the reflexes of two people. | |

The Count from Gankutsuou has a red eye and a green eye. This symbolizes not only his moral ambiguity and inner conflicts, but also the fact that he is part-human, part-monster, part-alive, part-undead and part-earthling, part-alien through his symbiosis with Gankutsuou. The duality symbolism is also present in some representations of his crest, a stylized heart divided into two clear compartments with different colours to represent his remaining human feelings and the fact that he is gradually turning into a cold-hearted monster. | |

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: In the expansion The Shivering Isles, Sheogorath wears an asymmetrical suit reflecting both the dual nature of madness and the literal "split" in his realm. Since both sides mostly use the same color pallet, the differences are subtle; his "Manic" side looks like an eccentric set of finery which, nonetheless, doesn't look terribly out of place for the setting, while his "Demented" side appears more sinister, with spiked lapels and frills and a serpent's mouth for a sleeve cuff. More recent versions of the Mad God also have duality-themed clothes, with the "Manic" and "Demented" sides coloured purple and red, respectively. | |

Homestuck: Sollux has one eye that's completely red and one that's completely blue, thus making him have both heterochromia and Monochromatic Eyes. However, this wasn't immediately obvious because he wears a pair of red-and-blue 3D glasses almost all the time. This duality is symbolic of his bipolar disorder. It continues after he "half-dies" (he's got two dreamselves): he gets one white eye (from his dead self in the dream bubbles) and one black eye for his blinded realself. The "half-alive" Sollux with Aradia has the same eyes but reversed. | |

Kamen Rider Build has a similar half-and-half design to Double, only erratically zigzagging across his suit instead of Double's clean split. In Build's case, he mixes abilities of organic and inorganic components (usually animals and machines, respectively). He most often balances the agility of a rabbit with the firepower of a tank, which symbolizes his basic character conflict: a man devoted to "love and peace" (symbolized by the rabbit) who nonetheless finds himself creating weapons of war (the tank). | |

The Owl House: After Lilith performs a sharing spell on Eda, saving the latter from being completely consumed by her Owl Beast curse but also infecting Lilith with it and draining both witches' innate magic; one eye in either sister (Eda's left eye and Lilith's right eye) is now permanently grayed out (looking similar to the Owl Beast's monochrome palette), whilst the other eye retains their normal color. The Collector's appearance when trapping the Owl Beast shows them wearing a cloak with stars that is grey on one side and dark grey on the other. And going by their appearance in the present day, their face, at least, is also half-and-half, with one side being blue and the other orange. |

In Doctrine of Labyrinths, Felix has one blue eye and one gold, and throughout the series he displays a highly dualistic nature — one side of him loves deeply and genuinely wants to help others, the other side of him is angry, cruel, and destructive. According to the author, he also suffers from bipolar disorder (though he lives in a society that doesn't recognise it) so his moods tend to be erratic and rather extreme. | |

In The Stormlight Archive, those with light eyes are the nobility and those with dark eyes are peasants. However, the child of a lighteyes and a darkeyes has a chance to be born with one light and one dark eye, which will put him in an odd middle space where nobody's really sure what rank to assign him. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko's scar covers almost the entire left side of his face, incidentally making one eye look smaller than the other. Additionally, he's one of the few characters in the series to have two fighting styles: firebending, and using Dao Swords — aka Dual Wielding. His internal struggle is heavily emphasized. | |

In District 9, the iris of Wikus's left eye turns gold (and huge) at around the seventy-second hour of his transformation into a Prawn, while the right one remains its original human coloring, even after he has fully transformed. It's one of the ways the audience can identify him at the end of the movie. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Double has this as a result of being born from a Fusion Dance transformation. The right half is controlled by the brainy Philip, resulting in its governing Double's Elemental Powers and changes between green, red, and gold; the left half, controlled by the more emotional Shotaro, governs Double's fighting style and changes between black, silver, and blue. The dichotomy was further emphasized by the S.I.C. action figure line's re-imagining of Double, which gave Philip's halves more curves and metallic hues while Shotaro's halves tend towards hard, straight lines and flat colors. Kamen Rider Build has a similar half-and-half design to Double, only erratically zigzagging across his suit instead of Double's clean split. In Build's case, he mixes abilities of organic and inorganic components (usually animals and machines, respectively). He most often balances the agility of a rabbit with the firepower of a tank, which symbolizes his basic character conflict: a man devoted to "love and peace" (symbolized by the rabbit) who nonetheless finds himself creating weapons of war (the tank). |

In Batman: The Animated Series, as in many of the other works in which he appears, half of Two-Face's face has been scarred by acid, his hair changes color at the mid-line of his head, and his eye on the scarred side has been stained yellow. In this particular incarnation of the character, he wears two-tone black and white suits that further have each clothing element switch color along the mid-line of his body (i.e., black jacket, white shirt, black tie switches to white jacket, black shirt, white tie.) He is torn between the noble personality of Harvey Dent and the violent 'Big Bad Harv', settles choices with a coin flip, and is obsessed with duality, taking the trope to its logical extreme. | |

Todoroki from My Hero Academia, who has fire and ice powers inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Both his hair and eyes are two different colors split down the middle (each matching his parents,) with either half of his powers only able to be used from that half (ice for his right side and fire for his left side.) He also has a burn scar covering the left side of his face. In this case, it all represents Todoroki's family issues, with his abusive father putting him through Training from Hell to groom him into a worthy successor and eventually driving his mother insane until she gave him his burn scar and got put in an asylum. With a deep hatred for his father, Todoroki considers his left side a curse and refuses to use his fire powers for a good chunk of the series. His initial hero costume (when he relied entirely on his ice powers) also tries to subvert this by covering up the entirely of his left half in an ice motif. | |

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney DS, Angel Starr has differently colored eyes, but it's hard to tell because the eyes are tiny and we only see one eye at a time. (When the hair covers the right side of her face, she looks nice, but when she's angry it covers the left, so we never see them both at once.) According to the creators, it's because she wears colored contacts, and is thus invoked. | |

In The Shattered Kingdoms, Meiran/Lahlil has this going on as a result of having been mistakenly bestowed with the "blessings" of both (mutually hostile) Nomas deities. One of the Nomas describes the two deities (a sun god and a moon goddess) as warring over her body. The most obvious sign is her mismatched eyes, but it is also present more subtly in her behaviours — for example, she's said to favour different hands depending on whether it's day (sun god) or night (moon goddess). | |

Mira, the protagonist of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. Her default outfit consists of two different outfits stitched together, and you can eventually get her into a full version of either dress, among other outfits. Her duality comes in the form of her being a mix of two different Crystal Chronicles races, and she's a bit sensitive about this fact. |

The Count D from Pet Shop of Horrors has heterochromia, one eye being purple and the other, whom he hides under his hair, is golden. In the manga, it's explained that this is meant to be representative not only for his non-human nature, but also for his inheritance: his father and grandfather have golden and purple eyes, respectively. Since each one has a very different personality, and D has personality traits from both, his heterochromia symbolizes this dual nature. | |

When she splits in three, Triad-Neutral retains the two-toned clothing and eyes, while Triad-Purple and Triad-Orange are just in their colour. | |

Mystery Skulls Animated: Duet's two-tone hair, asymmetrical clothes, and the fact that they are described as delivering all of their dialog deadpan while being an enthusiastic conversationalist all lend the character a duality. There's also their Meaningful Name. | |

In Survival of the Fittest, Dominica Shapiro, who was dual in nature (displaying both a thoroughly villainous and surprisingly heroic side), has heterochromia. Similarly, v1's Hawley Faust has heterochromia, possibly to emphasize both his status as a reformed villain and his being a Foil of Adam Dodd. | |

Oskar von Reuenthal of Legend of the Galactic Heroes has a pair of mismatched eyes (one brown eye, the other blue), hinting at both his sordid parentage and the inner conflict between his loyalties and ambitions. | |

Sudoku (Jigsaw's sister) in Last Res0rt also has heterochromia, with no special explanation attached other than her father (Cypher) having green eyes and her mother (Meridian) having blue. She's the only one in the family with this trait, though. | |

Mira, the protagonist of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord. Her default outfit consists of two different outfits stitched together, and you can eventually get her into a full version of either dress, among other outfits. Her duality comes in the form of her being a mix of two different Crystal Chronicles races, and she's a bit sensitive about this fact. | |

Catra in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has one blue and one yellow eye, seemingly symbolising her emotional division between her obvious affection for Adora (who has blue eyes) and her anger and jealousy at the same. When Catra goes off the deep end and tries to destroy the world just to get back at Adora in the third season, she picks up some temporary void corruption that obscures the blue eye just as the rift between them widens. | |

In Our Little Adventure, Angelo Souballo is one half of the Big Bad Duumvirate and has an outfit that's heavy on the Fashionable Asymmetry. He's also a master of both sorcery and divine magic, a Fallen Hero who receives guidance from a Lawful Neutral entity sanctioned by both Heaven and Hell, and trying to contain a case of Demonic Possession that pushes him towards more extreme acts of evil. | |

Lieutenant Aiden Ford of Stargate Atlantis has one eye turn completely black due to an accident during a Wraith attack on the city. This same accident also got him hopped up on and addicted to Wraith enzyme, causing him to go AWOL and hunt down the Wraith on his own. | |

Lord Darcia of Wolf's Rain has multiple duality motifs that show up in the anime. For starters, he has one normal blue eye and one golden wolf's eye hidden under his Eyepatch of Power, to show that he's found a way to turn himself into a wolf so that he can enter the Paradise forbidden to humans. Fortunately his plan is thwarted by Kiba and Cheza, but his evil wolf eye lives on... When he returns in episode 25 after having been absent since episode 12, he is wearing a masquerade mask which appears to be both smiling and weeping at the same time. He's in love with the good twin from a set of twins who definitely have Sibling Yin-Yang going on, and it was the Evil Twin who murdered Darcia's lover and subsequently tries to seduce him as well. At the end of episode 26 insists that both he and Kiba are "Chosen", which cements him embracing what he perceives as his destined role: to be Kiba's Evil Counterpart. |

Ace Attorney: In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney DS, Angel Starr has differently colored eyes, but it's hard to tell because the eyes are tiny and we only see one eye at a time. (When the hair covers the right side of her face, she looks nice, but when she's angry it covers the left, so we never see them both at once.) According to the creators, it's because she wears colored contacts, and is thus invoked. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All: Matt Engarde's bangs represent two different sides of his personality. When his bangs cover the right side of his face, he acts like a happy-go-lucky Surfer Dude who can be pretty slow at times. But when he slicks his hair back, he reveals his true self; a Manipulative Bastard who believes people are only there to be used and thrown away. |

Ragna the Bloodedge of BlazBlue has these to indicate that he is half-vampire. However, this only applies in one particular instance of the Stable Time Loop: in all others, including the one covered by the story, his changed eye, the red one, is linked to the function of his arm, the fake Azure Grimoire. When it stops working, so does his arm. | |

Kikaider: The Kikaider series of androids had sports of blue (which signifies their altruistic impulses) and red (which signifies their capacity to do evil and harm that lies underneath) on their body designs. Notably, the "red" side is also the side that has part of Kikaider's robot brain exposed. | |

Kamen Rider Double has this as a result of being born from a Fusion Dance transformation. The right half is controlled by the brainy Philip, resulting in its governing Double's Elemental Powers and changes between green, red, and gold; the left half, controlled by the more emotional Shotaro, governs Double's fighting style and changes between black, silver, and blue. The dichotomy was further emphasized by the S.I.C. action figure line's re-imagining of Double, which gave Philip's halves more curves and metallic hues while Shotaro's halves tend towards hard, straight lines and flat colors. | |

In the WKRP in Cincinnati episode "Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide" Johnny Fever gets a job as a TV DJ spinning disco records. He doesn't want to do disco so he invents an alternate persona named "Rip Tide" for the TV gig. He dyes his blond hair dark for the part, but only the part of his hair not covered by his beret. This duality of hair color reflects the duality of "Johnny" and "Rip," who starts to take him over a la Jekyll & Hyde. | |
