The characters we know as givers possess highlights in their eyes up until their transformation into Givers, coinciding with the first use of their vital instrument.

We have seen seven givers before their transformation into givers, Remlin, Amo, Zanka, Follo, Gountess, Too Lily, and Enjin, and consistently, each character possesses highlights in their eyes up until the point that they use their giver powers. for Remlin, Amo, and Zanka, this is consistent between manga and anime.

In regards to Remlin and Follo, both in the events leading up to their transformation into Givers, have their highlights either dissipate in the process of their first activation (in the case of Remlin), or display inconsistent highlights in their eyes, with one chapter seeing follo frequently have only one highlight and one unhighlighted eye.

here's some pics from the manga to show you what I mean!

neat! cool observation!

But this brings into question a few characters, Like Regto, who's eyes never have highlights, or Zanka's siblings, who as far as I can tell are portrayed with the same eyes, or indeed Hyo, zanka's "Rival" that caused him to drop out of the academy, or Wing of the doll festival. Or my personal favorite, Alice Stilza, who both in her old picture and present, never has highlights in her eyes.

Non givers have at times been portrayed without highlights, when their eyes are in shade or when they are experiencing intense emotion, but all confirmed givers have not had highlights as far as I can remember. With the notable exception of kuro, who says he is not a giver, but is clearly something important and powerful.

What I can gather from this is that it is impossible to say for sure if someone is a Giver by their eyes, but it is possible to confirm when they are not. If their eyes are never portrayed with highlights, it's possible they have a power we have yet to see. or perhaps they are really angry all the time, this isn't a perfect science >.>

there is one exception for a confirmed giver having highlights that cover their irises and it's Noerde, specifically in the moment she crossed the border and in the immediate moments before having something done to her by the watchman.

Noerde states that the Watchman takes everything that is precious to you, we see as she falls the comb slips from her fingers, but when we see her body on the ground, she's still holding it, after the flash, I think it took Noerde's obsession, the driving force behind her motivations as a character and her powers as a giver, it took away who she was.

i theorize The process kills almost everyone who experiences it, but there are ways to avert the damage done by the watchman, possessing a piece of the watchman series, these instruments act as keys to the border, but i also theorize one needs the obsession required to become a giver, or a strong enough anima to survive the process, possess any two things of these three and you can pass through the border and survive, but the process won't be without it's price without a piece of the watchman series.

anyway, that's my theory, the highlight over the iris symbolizes an incomplete dedication to ones driving obsession, their whole heart in something, a giver is someone who channels this obsession into an object, it took her drive, her obsession, everything precious to her, and that is symbolized by the returning highlights, which she did have before becoming a giver, btw
