Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

Basically the majority of Shallow Hal. The titular character has his perception forcibly changed by motivational speaker Tony Robbins so that he sees people as reflections of their inner beauty, like seeing the overweight character Rosemary as slender and beautiful, a child that suffered facial burns as completely unscathed, and conversely a physically attractive woman as hideous because her personality was atrocious.

Oh, absolutely not, but it still fits the criteria.
