shine through
Show despite obstacles
To shine through is for a quality to be visible despite obstacles or concealment.
Light shines through curtains; someone's kindness shines through a gruff exterior.
The phrase emphasizes that what's underneath manages to reveal itself: Her talent shines through even in small roles, His nervousness shone through the confident facade.
