This is a trope for all the times a character's reflection in a mirror is different from what others (viewer included) see with the naked eye. In fiction, mirrors are treated as able to cause Glamour Failure in supernatural creatures, reveal Mind Control, and if the mirror is magical, reveal a character's true nature. The most common uses are revealing the true form of a Shapeshifter or soulless, and if a character is under Mind Control. A modern variation has the true form of Glamour users revealed by a security camera, since glamour meant to fool human minds won't work on a mindless machine. In the first case, the mirror is acting the same way for the viewer as for the characters. We're being shown the monster's true form. In Mind Control cases (specifically the "Freaky Friday" Flip, Sharing a Body, Demonic Possession, and Split Personality) we're being shown what the characters are seeing that we aren't. The mirror shows the physical body of the character, while the camera shows the character controlling the body. The characters in the show will see the mirror image, i.e. the controlled person all the time. Directors can use this to create a sense of tension by showing only the viewer a monster's reflection and keeping the other characters in the dark. Another common variation is for the mirror to show an aspect of a person's personality. The nasty, spiteful, cruel, but beautiful girl becomes a hag in the magic mirror. Conversely, it can reveal the Reluctant Monster or forcibly transformed character to be noble and good. A subtrope of Magic Mirror, Glamour Failure, and Lie to the Beholder. If used on a poster or cover, might utilize Juxtaposed Reflection Poster. Compare The Shadow Knows and Mirror Reveal, which is about literal transformation. Contrast Missing Reflection, where the mirror shows nothing at all. Also see Drama Panes. |

In Umineko: When They Cry, this is implied (and in the seventh arc stated) to be the reason why Beatrice is repelled by mirrors. Sayo Yasuda, Beatrice's true identity, hates mirrors because mirrors don't acknowledge her make-believe appearance and remind Sayo that she's not the powerful witch she pretends to be. Thus, in the story, the camera will always show which personality of Sayo's is being depicted instead of her true appearance. Sayo's actual image is never seen in the visual novel. | |

Dark Night: A True Batman Story tells the story of Paul Dini's traumatic mugging in the '90s and his struggle to recover afterwards. Throughout the story, the images of various members of Batman's rogues gallery appear as Anthropomorphic Personifications of Dini's hang-ups and issues. Two-Face represents his scars, both physical and mental, from the injuries he received, and his first appearance has him staring at Dini in place of his own reflection. | |

Thunderbolts: One issue of Jeff Parker's run has the team and the Avengers trapped in a strange dimension where your reflection in the water shows your supposed true self, seemingly meaning a symbolic representation of what kind of person you are. Iron Man sees himself as a child holding a model plane (symbolizing him as - ultimately - a Manchild obsessed with building and control), Captain America sees himself in his old WWII uniform (he's still the symbol of freedom he was back then), Juggernaut sees a constantly shifting image of his various costumes (symbolizing his struggle for a solid identity), and Crossbones sees himself wearing a gaudy mask of Red Skull (he's just a pale imitation of his master). Luke Cage, however, doesn't experience this and simply sees himself as normal, suggesting that he is true to himself and assuaging an identity crisis he was going through. | |

In Turning Red, this is subverted. In the spirit realm, Sun Yee's mirror portal shows the person as they would be without their panda spirit. However, the lesson isn't that this is the person's true self, but actually them if they deny that aspect of themselves. | |

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic has The Mirror of True Reflection, which actually shows different aspects of the viewer's personality (resulting in several "true" reflections). This turns out to be merely the warning sign against entering the mirror to try to find the MacGuffin hidden within, as you have to fight off your inner demons given form to claim it. Fortunately, your inner virtues are there as well. | |

DICE: The Cube That Changes Everything: Happens with Mio once she gains the A-rank ability Clarivoyance. Every time she sees her own reflection, it shows how she looked before using the Dice, to her disgust. During the amusement park date with Dongtae she refuses to check the mirror maze. Sometime after the revelation that Mooyoung is currently inhabiting Taebin's body, we see Taebin standing near a broken mirror, clutching his head with both hands, seemingly in pain. His hair is white in one of the shards, just like Mooyoung's were, hinting that Mooyoung is slowly but surely taking control over him. |

Dragon Magazine #50 had the magical artifact Barlithian's Mirror. Anyone who looked into it saw his or her true self, regardless of any illusions, creature powers (such as a vampire's invisibility to mirrors) or shape-changed form. In addition, a lycanthrope would see its alter ego (e.g., a werewolf in wolf form would see a human and one in human form would see a wolf). | |

In addition, a lycanthrope would see its alter ego (e.g., a werewolf in wolf form would see a human and one in human form would see a wolf). The supplement Open Grave uses this trope in one picture - a beautiful noblewoman's reflection reveals her true form as a lich. The Ravenloft character Gabrielle Aderre appears to be in her mid-twenties, but she sees her true age (mid-fifties) in mirrors. Despite still being very attractive, she considers her true appearance hideous. White Dwarf magazine #19 article "The Fiend Factory". When a werefox is in human form, its reflection (such as in a mirror or a pool of water) shows its animal form - a fox. |

Vampire: The Masquerade: The Obfuscate Discipline (which either makes the user invisible or appear to be someone else) is generally ineffective against cameras or other mechanical sensors. It works via Perception Filter and such things have no minds to deceive. The Lasombra either don't leave images on cameras and mirrors, or they have a weird abnormality which means their reflection is that of what they would really look like if they weren't turned into vampires: usually a rotting corpse or a walking skeleton. |

One scene in Mystery Skulls Animated: Ghost shows the trio pass by a set of mirrors. Vivi's reflection has no eyes, Arthur's doesn't show his (prosthetic) left arm, and Mystery's mirror shatters. This actually serves as foreshadowing towards the backstory the group shares: Vivi suffered a Heroic BSoD (and quite possibly amnesia) after the death of her boyfriend and the group's fourth member, Arthur lost his arm to Demonic Possession and was the one who killed said boyfriend (unwillingly; again, Demonic Possession), and Mystery isn't a dog. | |

The Greenhouse: Even before Mica can see 'Red' properly, she can catch glimpses of the demon in reflective surfaces, standing next to her. This makes Mica a lot quicker to believe Liv when she claims Mica is possessed. | |
