Forum:Mystery of Xehanort's Eyes...

I'm confused. Why do Master Xehanort, Braig/Xigbar, Saïx, & Vanitas all have amber-gold eyes and pointed ears, as opposed to how Ansem the Wise, Xehanort's Heartless/"Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness", & Xemnas all have amber-orange eyes? All I know is that it is all connected to darkness somehow. And why doesn't Riku have amber eyes, considering how he accepted his darkness and even pushed its limits?
 * I'm guessing it's because he didn't reject the light as well, which is why his ares are glow-in-the-dark blue. Glorious  CHAOS!  22:53, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the only reason Riku doesn't have the yellowish eyes is because he was cleansed of the Darkness when the Kingdom Hearts Encoder blew up. --Evnyofdeath 23:17, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * But that doesn't make sense. Riku opened his heart to darkness before KH2 EDIT:and if Master Xehanort made Terra's eyes go amber in a short time span, why can't Xehanort do the same to Riku?. I always thought that the longer you stay in the darkness, your eyes become more amber, but that doesn't make sense seeing as how Xaldin is one of the older members of OXII but has blue eyes. =O 23:27, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps the whole yellow eye trait was not yet thought of at the time for Riku. It is possibly because the hue of yellow dictates how deep a person has embellished himself in darkness or how strong they are with it. Braig/Xigbar and Saix have yellow eyes because they have embraced the darkness completely and allowed it to take them over for more power. Vanitas being made out of pure evil speaks for itself. Ansem wields the darkness but he has not allowed it to take him over. As for Xehanort's Heartless, that's certainly a thought-provoker given his hammy speeches. Xemnas probably has something to do with being Terra's body subconsciously influenced by Xehanort. Kaihedgie 00:28, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
