How would you visually represent a character whose body is in control and they are merely observing (and experiencing touch, sound, etc.) what the controller is doing?

You mean being controlled, specifically NOT in control. Is this a general question? Seems like more context is needed.

It would be hard, I think, without a lot of context. Some things are hard to capture in a single picture (unless you don't care about subtlety, and unless you count metaphor.) This is why I'd like to try drawing a comic one day.

Context is that one of my characters (wood elf) has a magic eye that contains the soul of a scythe tree who gains control of her body (along with transforming it) at night and at other non-specific times. When being possessed, she can still observe what her body is doing, but has no way of contacting the outside world (as far as anyone knows) except for when the tree soul gives control back or she somehow wrestles control back.

As I said, you can't hope to get all this across in one picture.

Does it need to coney this control to the viewer in a very general sense? Would be near impossible. However you could have her eye change in some way, maybe glow when she's under control. Tree roots could possibly convey the idea of being stuck, perhaps implementing tree roots or something similar could convey that she has lost control in some way.

Well, I would have to go for multiple illustrations then.

For situations like that, anime would have the girl be floating in an empty space (pic related) to show her reactions and her struggling.

You could also try drawing her differently to show her reactions within the context of the environment. Like in her normal state and being controlled state she looks normal but when showing her inner reactions you draw her in black and white or with wild jagged lines to express that other characters aren't seeing her current expression. You could try to overlap the two to get it into one picture but it might be hard to get it to read clearly depending on the scene.

Draw a head shot of your character, draw the character again, but floating inside her own eye, looking scared and reaching towards the viewer. Have tree roots visibly grabbing her leg and pulling her away. This is the best I have.

I guess for the internal shot, she probably could be naked. Or wearing something completely specific to her “soul” form. Or wearing whatever clothes she wore last?

I recommend watching the Upgrade movie, if the OP hasn't already in their case.

Naked is most common but the other 2 options would be more interesting. You could also have the soul form specific outfit evolve over the course of the story or have her whatever regular outfit she's wearing be slightly altered like changing shape or having symbols appear on it.

how I would do it is visually the eyes being different, the scythe eye being focused and intense while the normal eye + eyebrow (I know it doesn't fit with what youre saying but to give yourself a little leeway with expressing what you need to visually) expressing horror, sadness, shock, numbness, a lidded eye to show she's given up, etc. if you can really exaggerate the expression of the eyes and contrast them it might be able to sell it

I was about to write the same thing. I just thought about Danny Phantom controlling other people. I think the eyes are glowing yellow or green, but I'm not sure about that.

Cute dress with stars underneath like Madokami, one or both eyes pure white. Maximum ankle length hair? Thigh boots? Make any clothing appear to merge into her body.
Elemental or sylph style?

Also probably use her default hairstyle, or have something like two side up, or just unstyled/flowing/floating. That shit is cool.

I don't know if this fully fits your vision, but if it were me I'd draw the girl completely encased in tree bark, spreading from her magic eye. I'd make the bark either slightly or fully see-through so you can still see the girl trapped in it.
