eyes

When a person is turned into a vampire, their eye colour will change accordingly to their diet. If a vampire feeds on animal blood, its eyes will change colour very frequently, depending on how thirsty it is, and when it last fed. These “vegetarian” vampires have dark golden coloured eyes, but after the vampire feeds, their eyes turn lighter, to a soft gold or topaz. As they become thirstier, their eye colour will darken. It takes about two weeks without feeding for a vampire’s eyes to become entirely black. If a vampire feeds on human blood, its eyes turn a deep burgundy colour. The vampires that feed on human blood are considered to be uncivilized. Newborn vampires have vivid, bright red irises because of the large amount of human blood left over in their tissues from before their transformation into a vampire. The red colour fades gradually over a year’s time.
