* ActionGirl: She is actually an accomplished swordswoman and once she is forced to stop hiding it, she shows her skills by DualWielding against zombies.
* AscendedExtra: Before the Campania arc, she had only appeared in about 5 chapters.
* BadassAdorable: Who would have thought that this girly, cute and affectionate young girl who always wears frilly dresses was a strong swordswoman capable of defending herself against zombies.
* BadassBoast: Gives one during her [=CMoA=] in the Campania Zombies Arc.
* BadassFamily: Her family is made of master swordsmen. Including her, too.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Take our word for it.
* CatSmile
* DamselInDistress: In the anime. In the manga, this is Deconstructed and Invoked- see DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel below. [[spoiler: Although in the manga she does get brainwashed by a cult who exploit her fencing skills and use her as a guard dog.]]
* DanceBattler: In the ''Book of Atlantic'' film, she does a number of pirouettes and ballet-like moves as she fights.
* DeclarationOfProtection: To Ciel.
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: In the manga, she's actually a LittleMissBadass. She thought Ciel wouldn't like her enough if she was too "brash and uncute", so she didn't use her swordmanship skills until there was no choice. It could be a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of the trope. Unlike most girls that fit this trope, it's all for the sake of her beloved, and not because she simply likes being rescued. It also shows that Lizzie had to sacrifice a few things in order to maintain Ciel's pride, and it harmed her self-esteem.
* DualWielding: Wields two swords when forced to fight off zombies.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Unsurprising, given the time period.
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: She gracefully does so when greeting Sebastian.
* GenkiGirl: Hoo yes- she gets it from her father.
* GirlishPigtails: They sway when she fights.
* GirlyBruiser: She really is girly and sweet, and always was. She just hide her swordswoman skills fearing that Ciel would see her uncute.
* TheGlomp: She never hesitates at a chance to glomp Ciel.
* GreenEyes: Like her brother.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her gold hair highlights her sunny disposition, girlish attitude, innocence, and deep love for Ciel. However, later characterization reveals that she is a LadyOfWar and nowhere near as naive as she seems, but still a NiceGirl.
* HiddenDepths: See DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel and SpotTheThread.
* IAmXSonOfY: "I am the daughter of the leader of the British Knights Marquis Alexis Leon Middleford: Elizabeth! '''''The Wife of the Queen's Watchdog!'''''"
* InTheBlood: Would you believe her ''father'' is as overaffectionate?
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: :Fighting zombies in ElegantGothicLolita clothing.
* KissingCousins: She and Ciel are cousins and they are engaged to be married. Not that this was unusual for this time period.
* LadyOfWar: Despite her fear to be seen as unladylike, she manages to look graceful and elegant while slashing zombies.
* LittleMissBadass: This little girl is so badass that when Grell was about to make an entrance, sweet Lizzie pointed a sword at her and glared at the Shinigami.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: With most things regarding Ciel. Like what happened during the month he was kidnapped or even the fact that he has asthma. Ciel probably keeps these things from her in order to not worry her but now she's starting to get suspicious.
* LoveMartyr: For Ciel. Most of the stunts she pulls are only for Ciel's happiness.
* MasterSwordswoman: Elizabeth is quite the accomplished swordswoman.
* MegaTwintails: That hairstyle can't possibly be achieved in real life without lots of curlers and hair gel. As Lizzie's hair seems to be [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuroshitsuji_2425435.jpg naturally straight]], looks like it's not possible without curlers for her, as well.
* MoralityChain: Her entire reason for existence seems to be keeping Ciel from falling into the abyss.It's lampshaded in chapter 58 she even states that her goal was to be a wife Ciel could protect. Then she changes this so she could protect Ciel.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: The reason she wasn't fighting was because when they were little, young Ciel was afraid of Lizzy's mother and her harsh personality, and was glad he was marrying Lizzy. This made Lizzy feel that if she were to show her sword-fighting side, Ciel wouldn't like her.
* NonIdleRich: Comes from a noble family just like Ciel, yet her mother wouldn't let her just be an elegant lady and taught her to use the sword.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She's not so harmless as she appears. In this case, it's to fool Ciel into thinking she's someone he needs to protect, instead of the other way around.
* {{Ojou}}: Despite being British and more into cute things, Lizzy can be this when she wants to.
* OverlyLongName: Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford is her full name in the anime. It's not unusual for that time period either.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Well, not perfectly, but Ciel ''does'' seem to have warmed up to their arranged marriage some more and Lizzie herself also seems quite happy about it.
* PluckyGirl: Ah, yes.
* {{Protectorate}}: Seems to be this to her older brother Edward and Ciel.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her role in this story is as "The wife of the Queen's Watchdog". [[spoiler:She's quite the accomplished ActionGirl; she just doesn't want to show that side often in front of Ciel, [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon fearing he may dislike her should she do so]].]]
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Energetic Girl to Ciel's Savvy Guy.
* SilkHidingSteel: More like ''[[TheCutie Sugar]]'' Hiding [[BadassAdorable Steel]]. She does her best to be a cute and feminine young lady, but when she's forced to fight she shows her skills as a talented swordswoman.
* SkewedPriorities: Lizzy, honey, the cake is not that important, especially when your fiancé has a gun out and there are zombies running about. ''Really.''
** Neither is the [[{{Kawaiiko}} cute dress or the cute demeanour]] as a whole. Ciel briefly chastises her for this, which shortly leads into CharacterDevelopment and TookALevelInBadass for [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel Elizabeth]].
* SpoiledSweet: She's used to getting what she wants but, for the most part, isn't a bad person for it.
* SpotTheThread: She figures out that something is wrong when Ciel fails to recall details about previous Easters spent together- then she proposes an elaborate contest to confirm it.
* StepfordSmiler: As seen from chapter 66, she keeps most of her fears and worries regarding Ciel to herself.
* UnfazedEveryman: One of the few genuinely normal people that [[WeirdnessMagnet Ciel]] knows.
* UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy: A rare inversion. Lizzy is an Unwillingly Tomboyish Girly Girl. Her mother forced her to learn swordsmanship and Lizzy hates it because she thinks it's unladylike and [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon Ciel won't like her if he finds out she's stronger than him]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In the manga, she drops the DamselInDistress act and begins slashing zombies in order to protect Ciel.
* WaifFu: She fights like she's dancing ballet, at least in the anime film.
* WomanScorned: PlayedForLaughs when [[NotWhatItLooksLike she finds Ciel in a compromising position with Sieglinde]] and [[MistakenForCheating Lizzy thinks Ciel is cheating on her]]. Ciel admits that facing a tank was less terrifying than Lizzy's wrath.

-->"''I used to hate my red hair that was just like my father's. I used to hate red.''"
Ciel's aunt, a beautiful doctor and the younger sister of his MissingMom Rachel Durless.
-----
* AntiVillain: She does some monstrous things, but it's pretty hard not to have sympathy for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The red-dressed, haired and eyed aunt of Ciel who sees him as her surrogate son? She's half of Jack the Ripper, punishing prostitutes for requesting abortions while she can't have kids because of an accident that also killed her husband; the other half being her seemingly-stupid but highly sociopathic shinigami butler Grell Sutcliff.
* BloodLust: Just as her fixation with the color red, she developed a fascination with blood after she started murdering prostitutes.
* BreakTheCutie: She was quite cute growing up... but then things got bad... really bad. See TraumaCongaLine below.
* BrokenBird: She was a really sweet girl who only wished for the man she loved to be happy with her big sister, but then she lost her husband, her unborn child, shortly followed by the man she loved and her sister and then she was forced to give abortions to prostitutes. All this broke her and she became a dangerous murderer.
* CannotTellAJoke: When trying to pay the Undertaker's "fee" she resorts to a story she heard from gossip. What follows is a ClusterBleepBomb that ends with her and Lau gagged.
* ChristmasCake
* CoolAunt: To Ciel.
* CripplingCastration: She had to undergo a hysterectomy after the accident that killed her husband and unborn child. To say this left her shattered is putting it lightly.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and eyes.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: She appears to be an important major character in the first arc of the series, only to be murdered by her own butler (who also happened to be a Shinigami), complete with a half-chapter montage of her story.
* DiesWideOpen: She dies with her eyes open after being killed by Grell.
* DrivenByEnvy: Envied the pregnant prostitutes who came to her clinic for abortions... [[InsaneTrollLogic so she]] [[KillEmAll killed them.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer
* EvilRedhead: More like ''very broken'' redhead, though. She's half of Jack the Ripper and has brutally murdered prostitutes along with Grell, but it's difficult to not sympathize with the circumstances that lead her to do it.
* TheFashionista
* FieryRedhead
* FreakinessShame: Initially hated her signature red hair, until Earl Phantomhive told her he liked it.
* FreudianExcuse: She lost her ability to give birth in the accident that killed her husband and her unborn child. She started killing prostitutes that went through abortions because they threw away what she lost and now could never have.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She cared for her older sister Rachel, enough to have [[IllGirl her]] as one of her motivations to become a doctor, but at the same time she envied her for being lucky enough to attract the eye of Earl Phantomhive.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: She really was a good girl, until unfortunate events in her life lrf her to become half of Jack the Ripper.
* HiddenDepths: Ooh boy.
* HospitalHottie
* ImportantHaircut: She used to have longer hair before she started killing people.
** An earlier one, where she used to have long bangs [[PeekABangs to hide her face in]] and then cut her bangs once Vincent said he liked her red hair.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She tried to convince herself that she was happy as long as Vincent and Rachel were happy. However, there was always some resentment in her heart over their marriage.
* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper: She's half of Jack the Ripper, along with Grell.
* LikeASonToMe: She thinks of Ciel as her own son. This saves Ciel's life, actually. And costs Angelina her own life.
* MadDoctor: She murdered the prostitutes that asked her for abortions.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: She used her medical knowledge to mutilate the bodies of the prostitutes that asked her for abortions.
* NonIdleRich: Being a noble didn't stop her from studying medicine and becoming a doctor.
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* PiningAfterProtagonistsParent: She was in love with Earl Vincent Phantomhive. However, he married her sister and they gave birth to her nephew, Ciel. Angelina tried to move on, but she never completely let go of Ciel's father. Despite everything, Angelina does love Ciel like he was her own son.
* PrecociousCrush: On Lord Phantomhive, who would go on to marry her sister Rachel.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted in that she's pretty harmless and truly loves her nephew. Then you find out who she really is.
* RedHeadedStepchild: She did believe her red hair was ugly.
* TheResenter: She started murdering prostitutes out of resentment that they would go through abortions while she couldn't have children.
* ShrinkingViolet: When she was younger, she was very shy and lacked self-confidence because of her hair color.
* SiblingTriangle: She was in love with the man her sister Rachel married. Although she found another man and married, she never stopped loving Vincent.
* StepfordSmiler
* TraumaCongaLine: The love of her life marries her older sister, though Red still manages to marry [[SecondLove a good and loving]] NiceGuy anyway. Then, after getting her medical license, her husband and unborn child are killed and she has to have a hysterectomy. She then loses ''both'' her sister and the love of her life in a fire. After all of this, she gives abortions to prostitutes. [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Jealous of the pregnancies they can't keep or don't want,]] she begins killing them, [[InLoveWithYourCarnage which is where Grell steps in.]] However, when faced with more or less getting away with her murders so long as Grell keeps Sebastian busy and she murders Ciel, poor Red can't bring herself to kill her nephew "who was like a son to her"... and is promptly chainsawed by Grell.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her without revealing her identity as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper and her death early in the series.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A dangerous SerialKiller who murdered and mutilated prostitutes, but she did it out of resentment that they would ask her for abortions after she lost her family and ability to have children.

-->"''Even if you step toward a place from which you can't return, you choose not to reveal your screaming for help to other people, eh?''"
A Chinese nobleman, leader of an opium den and head of the British branch of the Shanghai trading company "Kong-Rong."
-----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His pleasant spacey demeanor always seems to carry a sinister undercurrent.
* CannotTellAJoke: Like Madame Red he tries to pay the Undertaker's fee. His joke is rather bland but failed through a rushed delivery.
* CovertPervert: Subverted, he really doesn't try to hide it at all. Case in point; Taste in ice scultures and the name of his team that sculpted it. Yeah...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Downplayed. As noted in BewareTheSillyOnes, Lau's a pleasant though often distracted man but with a devious streak underneath. He's also quite acrobatic and handy with a sword.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A flashback in the anime shows that he lost his family during the Opium Wars. First he's seen walking with his sister when the English show up, and then shown holding her ''severed arm.''
* TheDitz: It's a running gag that he'll talk as if he knows a lot about a subject... and then ask what the subject actually ''is''.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Opened slightly for dramatic moments
* HandsomeLech: Almost always seen with Ran-Mao in his lap… and occasionally [[HoYay hitting on Ciel]].
* KarmaHoudini: Invoked, the main reason he lets Ciel boss him around is so he can keep running his enterprise without interference.
* OnlyOneName
* OpiumDen: Lau's occupation. Also smokes it himself, though he's rarely seen doing so.
* PerpetualSmiler: A smile that can be threatening or docile.
* PrettyFreeloader: He's made numerous appearances despite Ciel only requesting his service a couple of times.
* PsychoticSmirk
* SchrodingersButterfly: Frequently references the story of Zhuangzi.
* StereotypesOfChinesePeople
* TokenEvilTeammate: Subverted: Among the Ciel's Allies he's the most overtly criminal with ties to the criminal world, dealings in opium and other gang related activities. However as the series goes on we learn that they all have the same questionable moral fiber as he does.

-->"''Glad... you're safe.''"
Lau's personal assassin who is always seen clinging on his arm. She's referred to as his sister, although they're not blood related.
-----
* AnimeChineseGirl
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BodyguardBabe: A classic example.
* BoobsOfSteel: Possesses strength that rivals and/or surpasses Finnian's without having gone through the injections and has breasts larger than Mey-Rin's.
* BraidsOfAction
* CarryABigStick: Her weapons of choice are clubs.
* CloudCuckooLander: Apparently has no knowledge whatsoever of the Western world; when she was going through Irene Diaz's possessions, she tried to wear a pair of bloomers as a hat.
* TheComicallySerious
* CuteBruiser: She's primarily Lau's lap dog, but she's proven a fairly dangerous assassin.
* CuteMute
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: And she's quite the ActionGirl to boot.
* DualWielding: She carries two ornamental clubs.
* EmotionlessGirl
* FlowerInHerHair: She wears a pink rose in her hair.
* HornedHairdo: Her hair buns look like horns.
* LittleMissBadass
* MagicSkirt: Subverted in one episode where she tried to herself as a distraction to get Sebastian to hold still for a picture. Subverted in that viewer doesn't get to see anything.
* MinidressOfPower
* MsFanservice: Occasionally exploited by Lau, [[ShamelessFanServiceGirl and she seems to have no problem with it]].
* NervesOfSteel: Not even acting as bait for a poisonous snake or going head to head against Sebastian in a fight will shake her.
* PantyShot: Tried to use this as a distraction on Sebastian once, [[AboveTheInfluence it didn't work, at least not on ''him''.]]
* OdangoHair: Shaped like cat ears. [[RuleOfCute Yeahhh...]]
* OnlyOneName
* TheQuietOne: She very rarely speaks. It's possible she doesn't know much English.

'''Live actor:''' Shūhei Izumi (Muscial)
-->"''Because you hold great power, you gradually fail to understand the importance of things that cannot be recovered. You will realize once it's too late.''"
The funeral director in London who has acted as an informant to the Phantomhive family for many years.
-----
* AdaptationalHeroism: When the anime diverges from the manga the Undertaker's character does as well. He's a Grim Reaper in both but in the anime he's simply retired whereas the manga he's a renegade. The anime plays him up as a BunnyEarsLawyer who comes to help in stopping Ash whereas the manga plays him as a NotSoHarmlessVillain who edges closer and closer to being a central antagonist. With the anime now following the manga more as of season 3 and adapting the Luxury Liner arc, we see Undertaker become an antagonist as well.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Not outright evil, but certainly not on the [[AntiHero good guys' side]], either.
* BadassLongRobe: Full of grave markers that may as well be spears.
* BadassPreacher: Well, if said priest was also a J-Rocker. He's wearing the collar in any case.
* BeautifulAllAlong: In chapter 59 of the manga he finally sweps his hair back and reveals himself as one hell of a {{Bishonen}}. Cue the fangirls squee, of course.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a ridiculous {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who demands payment in jokes. He's also [[spoiler:a highly trained shinigami]], and as such can be extremely dangerous when he wants to be.
* BigBad: Seems to be shaping up to be this as he was the villain of two arcs.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys Were you really surprised]]? Yana said he is the most handsome man in Kuroshitsuji. Hear that, Sebastian?
* BlindingBangs: His eyes are always by his hair. He does it to hide his GreenEyes, a trait that reveals he's a shinigami.
* BlindWithoutEm: He tells Grell and Ronald that they're novices if they're "still using their eyes to see," implying that he's just as blind as them but has found a way to move without vision.
* CheshireCatGrin
* CreepyGood: In the beginning of the series at least, and in the first two seasons of the anime. As of Chapter 60, not so much considering [[ZombieApocalypse what's he up to]] in that arc though he still appears to [[PetTheDog care about Ciel.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: In chapter 105 it's revealed that all reapers were humans who committed suicide.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even the fellow reapers.
* {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Franken Stein from ''Manga/SoulEater'', appearance-wise and a bit in personality.
* EyeObscuringHat: He sometimes wears his hat in this manner.
* FemmeFatalons: He is a male example.
* FlashStep: Displays this when posing as [[spoiler: Weston's Principal]]. Sebastian himself failed to catch him.
* ForTheEvulz: Morbid laughs are the only reason he does anything; in most settings, this would be classified as ItAmusedMe, but given the BlackAndBlackMorality of the setting and the fact The Undertaker is responsible for the zombie outbreak going on just because he thought it'd be funny to see what happened if he helped an idiot scientist reanimate corpses, the Undertaker's amusement can be seen in a rather negative light.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: It's as if his skull's had to have been stitched back together... and maybe it ''has.''
* GreenEyes: Grell noticing his eyes causes her to realize immediately he's a rogue Grim Reaper; apparently they all have the same kind of eyes, but he's not wearing any glasses.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: The explanation he gives Ciel during the Atlantic arc is filled with AmbiguousSyntax and possible [[DoubleMeaning Double Meanings]], with things like "'''At first''' (my motive) was curiosity," and "'''Those people''' wanted to test (the bizarre dolls)."
** There's also the question of why one of the funeral lockets (which Undertaker calls "his most prized possession") belonged to Ciel's Grandmother.
* KnowledgeBroker: Unusual example, as he trades laughter for information. As in, you have to make him laugh before he tells you anything.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Maybe not necessarily when he's dressed the way he usually does, but definitely when he's in shinigami form. So much so that when Grell saw what his face really looked like, she was completely enamored by his looks.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Like the hat it blocks his face and is reminiscent of an [[Myth/CelticMythology Ankou]].
* NiceHat: It covers his eyes, and enforces the similarities between him and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankou the Ankou legend.]]
* NightmareFetishist: Quite a few different examples, including cooing over how nice a corpse looks with its cuts and [[TooKinkytoTorture allowing Grell to bury him in epsom salts and smiling about the sensation of moisture leaving his body.]] Justified in that he's a Shinigami in the anime, and later in the manga, as well.
* NighInvulnerable: He got attacked by Grell's chainsaw Death Scythe but it had no effect, because he's a shinigami.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He tends to get a little too close for Ciel's comfort.
* NotSoDifferent: Ciel's (apparent) disgust at the P4's murders gives Undertaker a fit of the giggles.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: A ton of recently murdered (read: [[NightOfTheLivingMooks eaten]]) ship passengers should drive the point home.
** And he took on Grell, Ronald, and ''Sebastian'' at the same time and ''won effortlessly''.
* PerkyGoth: Though he can get serious when the situation calls for it.
* {{Shinigami}}: In the anime, and later, the manga. Interestingly, in the former, he's a retired and highly respected ex-shinigami, while in the latter, he's just been revealed to be a renegade shinigami; apparently the fact he alone of the Shinigami we've seen so far doesn't wear glasses is a ''very bad sign''.
* SinisterMinister: Or at least wearing the collar of one.
* SinisterScythe: So far, the only Shinigami to use a ''real'' scythe. Decorated with bones, AbsurdlySharpBlade and all.
** [[UpToEleven He uses said Death Scythe to cut the ''Campania'' in two]].
* TakeOurWordForIt: We never find out what Sebastian did to make Undertaker laugh.
* TheReveal: ''Several''.
** A flashback in Chapter 32 shows him seated with the former Earl of Phantomhive's gang. This doesn't get a followup until ''Chapter 85''.
** He was the one who created the Bizarre Dolls for kicks, setting off the whole Campania story arc.
** The Principal who escaped from Sebastian so quickly that only his clothes were left? Yeah, that was him too. He took the job ''after'' he helped the P4 hide a few bodies.
** And probably the most important: He's a Shinigami, and an incredibly powerful one at that - so much so that William has a bit of a freak-out when he realizes who the hell this guy is.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Again, only in the anime.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the manga and the anime, he reveals himself to be much nastier than the slightly creepy PerkyGoth everyone was used to, to the point in chapter 61 he ''stabs Sebastian in the gut with his scythe.'' His plan, which he explains in chapter 60, isn't a nice thing either.
* {{Undertaker}}: He is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly What It Says On His Nametag]]; the undertaker.
* WalkingSpoiler: Sure, we can talk about ''some'' stuff about this guy, but trying to explain him beyond the "silly Undertaker who enjoys jokes at other people's expense and has a morbid store with a just as morbid sense of humor" would require copious amounts of spoiler tags. Just look at his various tropes here.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: In the anime, Grell brushes out his BlindingBangs and is charmed by his eyes. She immediately asks him to make love to her.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: As of chapter 60.
* {{Yandere}}: Possibly for Ciel if his willingness to kill Sebastian for Ciel is any indication.
** Possibly a platonic variant if his (undefined) connection to Ciel's grandmother has anything to do with it.

-->"''Have you no faith in our swords?''"
Ciel's aunt on his father's side, as well as Elizabeth and Edward's mother. Like the rest of the Midford family, she is an expert swordswoman.
* ActionMom: A genius at the sword, Frances met and caught her husband's eye after defeating him in a fencing match. Despite being older and having birthed two children, her strength is not to be underestimated. She takes on the zombies abroad the Campania and helps to protect the passengers, sword in hand, floor-length dress hardly a hindrance.
* AlmightyMom: Displays shades of this: she'll chivvy ''anybody'' she thinks lacks decorum or taste and doesn't think twice about making them fit what she thinks is proper.
* TheDreaded: Played for Laughs, but also straight. Frances is a known badass and has a reputation for being a harridan, sure, but she's also one of the few people who could conceivably uncover Sebastian and Ciel's secret through sheer intellect.
* IronLady: The hair, the uncompromising attitude, the high standards: she's this all over. Which just adds to her already copious amounts of badass in that not only can she easily put Ciel in his place, she can make ''Sebastian'' break out in a cold sweat with her sheer intimidation factor.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: During the Campania arc, Frances is decked out in a typical, opulent Victorian dress, but it does little to hamper her skill with the sword.
* LadyOfWar: Mowing her way elegantly through a boat load of zombies is a good way to prove it...
* PrimAndProperBun: Her hair is usually styled in a neat bun, frequently berates Ciel and his servants for "sporting untidy hairstyles" by letting their bangs extend over their eyes.

Elizabeth's older brother, and Ciel's cousin. Edward is extremely overprotective and possessive of Elizabeth, and dislikes the fact that she is engaged to Ciel.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He adores his little sister and he wants protect her... but he overstates the most of the time.
* BigDamnHeroes: With Greenhill in chapter 71, saving Ciel.
* BrokenPedestal: His expression when he discovers that [[spoiler: the prefects he looked up committed multiple murder.]] Hearing the truth robs him of the satisfaction of enjoying the same privileges his predecessors once had.
* CoolBigBro: Lizzie thinks so, to his great satisfaction.
* CovertPervert: While playing cricket, he gets distracted by Lau's scantily-clad women (displaying the Victorian equivalent of naked breasts).
** He also blushes when Sebastian gives him a hands-on demonstration of how to be "a heartbreaker."
* {{Determinator}}: He is not a genius so he doubles his efforts to learn from those more talented than him.

The older twin brother of 'Ciel' and the rightful heir of the Phantomhive household. His twin brother assumed his name and identity after his death. However, the real Ciel somehow is back alive.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: He looks identical to his twin brother, the only major difference between them being that this Ciel's eyes are drawn in the same way as Ciel's father, Vincent.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: His core motives and moral alignment are still unknown, but it is all but stated that he is the one who [[spoiler:attempted to kill Soma, and possibly has the Blue Cult under his thumb]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: Flashbacks show Ciel deeply cared about his weak twin brother and always looked after him. He even wanted to become the Earl so he could help his brother when he was in trouble.
* CheerfulChild: In sharp contrast to his shy twin brother, Ciel was a very happy and lively kid.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There is an [[http://theofficialdoublecieltheorist.blogspot.dk/ ungodly huge amount of subtle foreshadowing]] throughout the manga that uses clever use of panel direction and minor visual cues to hint at the existence of a second Ciel, such as Vincent holding the hands of two boys during Baron Kelvin's flashback to meeting Ciel for the first time, with the one not introducing himself to Kelvin hiding behind Vincent.
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:He was killed as part of a ritual that resulted in Sebastian being summoned.]]
* StrongerSibling: Unlike his sickly and shy twin brother, Ciel was healthy and had a stronger and more confident character.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: True Ciel strongly resembles his father, Vincent, including inheriting his eyes.
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing there is another Ciel is a major give away for one of the biggest revelations in the manga.

* ActionGirl: She is actually an accomplished swordswoman and once she is forced to stop hiding it, she shows her skills by DualWielding against zombies.
* AscendedExtra: Before the Campania arc, she had only appeared in about 5 chapters.
* BadassAdorable: Who would have thought that this girly, cute and affectionate young girl who always wears frilly dresses was a strong swordswoman capable of defending herself against zombies.
* BadassBoast: Gives one during her [=CMoA=] in the Campania Zombies Arc.
* BadassFamily: Her family is made of master swordsmen. Including her, too.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Take our word for it.
* CatSmile
* DamselInDistress: In the anime. In the manga, this is Deconstructed and Invoked- see DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel below. [[spoiler: Although in the manga she does get brainwashed by a cult who exploit her fencing skills and use her as a guard dog.]]
* DanceBattler: In the ''Book of Atlantic'' film, she does a number of pirouettes and ballet-like moves as she fights.
* DeclarationOfProtection: To Ciel.
* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: In the manga, she's actually a LittleMissBadass. She thought Ciel wouldn't like her enough if she was too "brash and uncute", so she didn't use her swordmanship skills until there was no choice. It could be a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of the trope. Unlike most girls that fit this trope, it's all for the sake of her beloved, and not because she simply likes being rescued. It also shows that Lizzie had to sacrifice a few things in order to maintain Ciel's pride, and it harmed her self-esteem.
* DualWielding: Wields two swords when forced to fight off zombies.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Unsurprising, given the time period.
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: She gracefully does so when greeting Sebastian.
* GenkiGirl: Hoo yes- she gets it from her father.
* GirlishPigtails: They sway when she fights.
* GirlyBruiser: She really is girly and sweet, and always was. She just hide her swordswoman skills fearing that Ciel would see her uncute.
* TheGlomp: She never hesitates at a chance to glomp Ciel.
* GreenEyes: Like her brother.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her gold hair highlights her sunny disposition, girlish attitude, innocence, and deep love for Ciel. However, later characterization reveals that she is a LadyOfWar and nowhere near as naive as she seems, but still a NiceGirl.
* HiddenDepths: See DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel and SpotTheThread.
* IAmXSonOfY: "I am the daughter of the leader of the British Knights Marquis Alexis Leon Middleford: Elizabeth! '''''The Wife of the Queen's Watchdog!'''''"
* InTheBlood: Would you believe her ''father'' is as overaffectionate?
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: :Fighting zombies in ElegantGothicLolita clothing.
* KissingCousins: She and Ciel are cousins and they are engaged to be married. Not that this was unusual for this time period.
* LadyOfWar: Despite her fear to be seen as unladylike, she manages to look graceful and elegant while slashing zombies.
* LittleMissBadass: This little girl is so badass that when Grell was about to make an entrance, sweet Lizzie pointed a sword at her and glared at the Shinigami.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: With most things regarding Ciel. Like what happened during the month he was kidnapped or even the fact that he has asthma. Ciel probably keeps these things from her in order to not worry her but now she's starting to get suspicious.
* LoveMartyr: For Ciel. Most of the stunts she pulls are only for Ciel's happiness.
* MasterSwordswoman: Elizabeth is quite the accomplished swordswoman.
* MegaTwintails: That hairstyle can't possibly be achieved in real life without lots of curlers and hair gel. As Lizzie's hair seems to be [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuroshitsuji_2425435.jpg naturally straight]], looks like it's not possible without curlers for her, as well.
* MoralityChain: Her entire reason for existence seems to be keeping Ciel from falling into the abyss.It's lampshaded in chapter 58 she even states that her goal was to be a wife Ciel could protect. Then she changes this so she could protect Ciel.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: The reason she wasn't fighting was because when they were little, young Ciel was afraid of Lizzy's mother and her harsh personality, and was glad he was marrying Lizzy. This made Lizzy feel that if she were to show her sword-fighting side, Ciel wouldn't like her.
* NonIdleRich: Comes from a noble family just like Ciel, yet her mother wouldn't let her just be an elegant lady and taught her to use the sword.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She's not so harmless as she appears. In this case, it's to fool Ciel into thinking she's someone he needs to protect, instead of the other way around.
* {{Ojou}}: Despite being British and more into cute things, Lizzy can be this when she wants to.
* OverlyLongName: Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford is her full name in the anime. It's not unusual for that time period either.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Well, not perfectly, but Ciel ''does'' seem to have warmed up to their arranged marriage some more and Lizzie herself also seems quite happy about it.
* PluckyGirl: Ah, yes.
* {{Protectorate}}: Seems to be this to her older brother Edward and Ciel.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her role in this story is as "The wife of the Queen's Watchdog". [[spoiler:She's quite the accomplished ActionGirl; she just doesn't want to show that side often in front of Ciel, [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon fearing he may dislike her should she do so]].]]
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Energetic Girl to Ciel's Savvy Guy.
* SilkHidingSteel: More like ''[[TheCutie Sugar]]'' Hiding [[BadassAdorable Steel]]. She does her best to be a cute and feminine young lady, but when she's forced to fight she shows her skills as a talented swordswoman.
* SkewedPriorities: Lizzy, honey, the cake is not that important, especially when your fiancé has a gun out and there are zombies running about. ''Really.''
** Neither is the [[{{Kawaiiko}} cute dress or the cute demeanour]] as a whole. Ciel briefly chastises her for this, which shortly leads into CharacterDevelopment and TookALevelInBadass for [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel Elizabeth]].
* SpoiledSweet: She's used to getting what she wants but, for the most part, isn't a bad person for it.
* SpotTheThread: She figures out that something is wrong when Ciel fails to recall details about previous Easters spent together- then she proposes an elaborate contest to confirm it.
* StepfordSmiler: As seen from chapter 66, she keeps most of her fears and worries regarding Ciel to herself.
* UnfazedEveryman: One of the few genuinely normal people that [[WeirdnessMagnet Ciel]] knows.
* UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy: A rare inversion. Lizzy is an Unwillingly Tomboyish Girly Girl. Her mother forced her to learn swordsmanship and Lizzy hates it because she thinks it's unladylike and [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon Ciel won't like her if he finds out she's stronger than him]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: In the manga, she drops the DamselInDistress act and begins slashing zombies in order to protect Ciel.
* WaifFu: She fights like she's dancing ballet, at least in the anime film.
* WomanScorned: PlayedForLaughs when [[NotWhatItLooksLike she finds Ciel in a compromising position with Sieglinde]] and [[MistakenForCheating Lizzy thinks Ciel is cheating on her]]. Ciel admits that facing a tank was less terrifying than Lizzy's wrath.

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RomiPark (JP), Creator/LydiaMackay (ENG)\\
'''Live actors:''': Akane Liv (Musical)
-->"''I used to hate my red hair that was just like my father's. I used to hate red.''"
Ciel's aunt, a beautiful doctor and the younger sister of his MissingMom Rachel Durless.
-----
* AntiVillain: She does some monstrous things, but it's pretty hard not to have sympathy for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The red-dressed, haired and eyed aunt of Ciel who sees him as her surrogate son? She's half of Jack the Ripper, punishing prostitutes for requesting abortions while she can't have kids because of an accident that also killed her husband; the other half being her seemingly-stupid but highly sociopathic shinigami butler Grell Sutcliff.
* BloodLust: Just as her fixation with the color red, she developed a fascination with blood after she started murdering prostitutes.
* BreakTheCutie: She was quite cute growing up... but then things got bad... really bad. See TraumaCongaLine below.
* BrokenBird: She was a really sweet girl who only wished for the man she loved to be happy with her big sister, but then she lost her husband, her unborn child, shortly followed by the man she loved and her sister and then she was forced to give abortions to prostitutes. All this broke her and she became a dangerous murderer.
* CannotTellAJoke: When trying to pay the Undertaker's "fee" she resorts to a story she heard from gossip. What follows is a ClusterBleepBomb that ends with her and Lau gagged.
* ChristmasCake
* CoolAunt: To Ciel.
* CripplingCastration: She had to undergo a hysterectomy after the accident that killed her husband and unborn child. To say this left her shattered is putting it lightly.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and eyes.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: She appears to be an important major character in the first arc of the series, only to be murdered by her own butler (who also happened to be a Shinigami), complete with a half-chapter montage of her story.
* DiesWideOpen: She dies with her eyes open after being killed by Grell.
* DrivenByEnvy: Envied the pregnant prostitutes who came to her clinic for abortions... [[InsaneTrollLogic so she]] [[KillEmAll killed them.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer
* EvilRedhead: More like ''very broken'' redhead, though. She's half of Jack the Ripper and has brutally murdered prostitutes along with Grell, but it's difficult to not sympathize with the circumstances that lead her to do it.
* TheFashionista
* FieryRedhead
* FreakinessShame: Initially hated her signature red hair, until Earl Phantomhive told her he liked it.
* FreudianExcuse: She lost her ability to give birth in the accident that killed her husband and her unborn child. She started killing prostitutes that went through abortions because they threw away what she lost and now could never have.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She cared for her older sister Rachel, enough to have [[IllGirl her]] as one of her motivations to become a doctor, but at the same time she envied her for being lucky enough to attract the eye of Earl Phantomhive.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: She really was a good girl, until unfortunate events in her life lrf her to become half of Jack the Ripper.
* HiddenDepths: Ooh boy.
* HospitalHottie
* ImportantHaircut: She used to have longer hair before she started killing people.
** An earlier one, where she used to have long bangs [[PeekABangs to hide her face in]] and then cut her bangs once Vincent said he liked her red hair.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She tried to convince herself that she was happy as long as Vincent and Rachel were happy. However, there was always some resentment in her heart over their marriage.
* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper: She's half of Jack the Ripper, along with Grell.
* LikeASonToMe: She thinks of Ciel as her own son. This saves Ciel's life, actually. And costs Angelina her own life.
* MadDoctor: She murdered the prostitutes that asked her for abortions.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: She used her medical knowledge to mutilate the bodies of the prostitutes that asked her for abortions.
* NonIdleRich: Being a noble didn't stop her from studying medicine and becoming a doctor.
* ObfuscatingStupidity
* PiningAfterProtagonistsParent: She was in love with Earl Vincent Phantomhive. However, he married her sister and they gave birth to her nephew, Ciel. Angelina tried to move on, but she never completely let go of Ciel's father. Despite everything, Angelina does love Ciel like he was her own son.
* PrecociousCrush: On Lord Phantomhive, who would go on to marry her sister Rachel.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted in that she's pretty harmless and truly loves her nephew. Then you find out who she really is.
* RedHeadedStepchild: She did believe her red hair was ugly.
* TheResenter: She started murdering prostitutes out of resentment that they would go through abortions while she couldn't have children.
* ShrinkingViolet: When she was younger, she was very shy and lacked self-confidence because of her hair color.
* SiblingTriangle: She was in love with the man her sister Rachel married. Although she found another man and married, she never stopped loving Vincent.
* StepfordSmiler
* TraumaCongaLine: The love of her life marries her older sister, though Red still manages to marry [[SecondLove a good and loving]] NiceGuy anyway. Then, after getting her medical license, her husband and unborn child are killed and she has to have a hysterectomy. She then loses ''both'' her sister and the love of her life in a fire. After all of this, she gives abortions to prostitutes. [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Jealous of the pregnancies they can't keep or don't want,]] she begins killing them, [[InLoveWithYourCarnage which is where Grell steps in.]] However, when faced with more or less getting away with her murders so long as Grell keeps Sebastian busy and she murders Ciel, poor Red can't bring herself to kill her nephew "who was like a son to her"... and is promptly chainsawed by Grell.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about her without revealing her identity as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper and her death early in the series.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A dangerous SerialKiller who murdered and mutilated prostitutes, but she did it out of resentment that they would ask her for abortions after she lost her family and ability to have children.

-->"''Even if you step toward a place from which you can't return, you choose not to reveal your screaming for help to other people, eh?''"
A Chinese nobleman, leader of an opium den and head of the British branch of the Shanghai trading company "Kong-Rong."
-----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: His pleasant spacey demeanor always seems to carry a sinister undercurrent.
* CannotTellAJoke: Like Madame Red he tries to pay the Undertaker's fee. His joke is rather bland but failed through a rushed delivery.
* CovertPervert: Subverted, he really doesn't try to hide it at all. Case in point; Taste in ice scultures and the name of his team that sculpted it. Yeah...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Downplayed. As noted in BewareTheSillyOnes, Lau's a pleasant though often distracted man but with a devious streak underneath. He's also quite acrobatic and handy with a sword.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A flashback in the anime shows that he lost his family during the Opium Wars. First he's seen walking with his sister when the English show up, and then shown holding her ''severed arm.''
* TheDitz: It's a running gag that he'll talk as if he knows a lot about a subject... and then ask what the subject actually ''is''.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Opened slightly for dramatic moments
* HandsomeLech: Almost always seen with Ran-Mao in his lap… and occasionally [[HoYay hitting on Ciel]].
* KarmaHoudini: Invoked, the main reason he lets Ciel boss him around is so he can keep running his enterprise without interference.
* OnlyOneName
* OpiumDen: Lau's occupation. Also smokes it himself, though he's rarely seen doing so.
* PerpetualSmiler: A smile that can be threatening or docile.
* PrettyFreeloader: He's made numerous appearances despite Ciel only requesting his service a couple of times.
* PsychoticSmirk
* SchrodingersButterfly: Frequently references the story of Zhuangzi.
* StereotypesOfChinesePeople
* TokenEvilTeammate: Subverted: Among the Ciel's Allies he's the most overtly criminal with ties to the criminal world, dealings in opium and other gang related activities. However as the series goes on we learn that they all have the same questionable moral fiber as he does.

-->"''Glad... you're safe.''"
Lau's personal assassin who is always seen clinging on his arm. She's referred to as his sister, although they're not blood related.
-----
* AnimeChineseGirl
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BodyguardBabe: A classic example.
* BoobsOfSteel: Possesses strength that rivals and/or surpasses Finnian's without having gone through the injections and has breasts larger than Mey-Rin's.
* BraidsOfAction
* CarryABigStick: Her weapons of choice are clubs.
* CloudCuckooLander: Apparently has no knowledge whatsoever of the Western world; when she was going through Irene Diaz's possessions, she tried to wear a pair of bloomers as a hat.
* TheComicallySerious
* CuteBruiser: She's primarily Lau's lap dog, but she's proven a fairly dangerous assassin.
* CuteMute
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: And she's quite the ActionGirl to boot.
* DualWielding: She carries two ornamental clubs.
* EmotionlessGirl
* FlowerInHerHair: She wears a pink rose in her hair.
* HornedHairdo: Her hair buns look like horns.
* LittleMissBadass
* MagicSkirt: Subverted in one episode where she tried to herself as a distraction to get Sebastian to hold still for a picture. Subverted in that viewer doesn't get to see anything.
* MinidressOfPower
* MsFanservice: Occasionally exploited by Lau, [[ShamelessFanServiceGirl and she seems to have no problem with it]].
* NervesOfSteel: Not even acting as bait for a poisonous snake or going head to head against Sebastian in a fight will shake her.
* PantyShot: Tried to use this as a distraction on Sebastian once, [[AboveTheInfluence it didn't work, at least not on ''him''.]]
* OdangoHair: Shaped like cat ears. [[RuleOfCute Yeahhh...]]
* OnlyOneName
* TheQuietOne: She very rarely speaks. It's possible she doesn't know much English.

'''Live actor:''' Shūhei Izumi (Muscial)
-->"''Because you hold great power, you gradually fail to understand the importance of things that cannot be recovered. You will realize once it's too late.''"
The funeral director in London who has acted as an informant to the Phantomhive family for many years.
-----
* AdaptationalHeroism: When the anime diverges from the manga the Undertaker's character does as well. He's a Grim Reaper in both but in the anime he's simply retired whereas the manga he's a renegade. The anime plays him up as a BunnyEarsLawyer who comes to help in stopping Ash whereas the manga plays him as a NotSoHarmlessVillain who edges closer and closer to being a central antagonist. With the anime now following the manga more as of season 3 and adapting the Luxury Liner arc, we see Undertaker become an antagonist as well.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Not outright evil, but certainly not on the [[AntiHero good guys' side]], either.
* BadassLongRobe: Full of grave markers that may as well be spears.
* BadassPreacher: Well, if said priest was also a J-Rocker. He's wearing the collar in any case.
* BeautifulAllAlong: In chapter 59 of the manga he finally sweps his hair back and reveals himself as one hell of a {{Bishonen}}. Cue the fangirls squee, of course.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a ridiculous {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who demands payment in jokes. He's also [[spoiler:a highly trained shinigami]], and as such can be extremely dangerous when he wants to be.
* BigBad: Seems to be shaping up to be this as he was the villain of two arcs.
* {{Bishonen}}: [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys Were you really surprised]]? Yana said he is the most handsome man in Kuroshitsuji. Hear that, Sebastian?
* BlindingBangs: His eyes are always by his hair. He does it to hide his GreenEyes, a trait that reveals he's a shinigami.
* BlindWithoutEm: He tells Grell and Ronald that they're novices if they're "still using their eyes to see," implying that he's just as blind as them but has found a way to move without vision.
* CheshireCatGrin
* CreepyGood: In the beginning of the series at least, and in the first two seasons of the anime. As of Chapter 60, not so much considering [[ZombieApocalypse what's he up to]] in that arc though he still appears to [[PetTheDog care about Ciel.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: In chapter 105 it's revealed that all reapers were humans who committed suicide.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even the fellow reapers.
* {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Franken Stein from ''Manga/SoulEater'', appearance-wise and a bit in personality.
* EyeObscuringHat: He sometimes wears his hat in this manner.
* FemmeFatalons: He is a male example.
* FlashStep: Displays this when posing as [[spoiler: Weston's Principal]]. Sebastian himself failed to catch him.
* ForTheEvulz: Morbid laughs are the only reason he does anything; in most settings, this would be classified as ItAmusedMe, but given the BlackAndBlackMorality of the setting and the fact The Undertaker is responsible for the zombie outbreak going on just because he thought it'd be funny to see what happened if he helped an idiot scientist reanimate corpses, the Undertaker's amusement can be seen in a rather negative light.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: It's as if his skull's had to have been stitched back together... and maybe it ''has.''
* GreenEyes: Grell noticing his eyes causes her to realize immediately he's a rogue Grim Reaper; apparently they all have the same kind of eyes, but he's not wearing any glasses.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: The explanation he gives Ciel during the Atlantic arc is filled with AmbiguousSyntax and possible [[DoubleMeaning Double Meanings]], with things like "'''At first''' (my motive) was curiosity," and "'''Those people''' wanted to test (the bizarre dolls)."
** There's also the question of why one of the funeral lockets (which Undertaker calls "his most prized possession") belonged to Ciel's Grandmother.
* KnowledgeBroker: Unusual example, as he trades laughter for information. As in, you have to make him laugh before he tells you anything.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Maybe not necessarily when he's dressed the way he usually does, but definitely when he's in shinigami form. So much so that when Grell saw what his face really looked like, she was completely enamored by his looks.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Like the hat it blocks his face and is reminiscent of an [[Myth/CelticMythology Ankou]].
* NiceHat: It covers his eyes, and enforces the similarities between him and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankou the Ankou legend.]]
* NightmareFetishist: Quite a few different examples, including cooing over how nice a corpse looks with its cuts and [[TooKinkytoTorture allowing Grell to bury him in epsom salts and smiling about the sensation of moisture leaving his body.]] Justified in that he's a Shinigami in the anime, and later in the manga, as well.
* NighInvulnerable: He got attacked by Grell's chainsaw Death Scythe but it had no effect, because he's a shinigami.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He tends to get a little too close for Ciel's comfort.
* NotSoDifferent: Ciel's (apparent) disgust at the P4's murders gives Undertaker a fit of the giggles.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: A ton of recently murdered (read: [[NightOfTheLivingMooks eaten]]) ship passengers should drive the point home.
** And he took on Grell, Ronald, and ''Sebastian'' at the same time and ''won effortlessly''.
* PerkyGoth: Though he can get serious when the situation calls for it.
* {{Shinigami}}: In the anime, and later, the manga. Interestingly, in the former, he's a retired and highly respected ex-shinigami, while in the latter, he's just been revealed to be a renegade shinigami; apparently the fact he alone of the Shinigami we've seen so far doesn't wear glasses is a ''very bad sign''.
* SinisterMinister: Or at least wearing the collar of one.
* SinisterScythe: So far, the only Shinigami to use a ''real'' scythe. Decorated with bones, AbsurdlySharpBlade and all.
** [[UpToEleven He uses said Death Scythe to cut the ''Campania'' in two]].
* TakeOurWordForIt: We never find out what Sebastian did to make Undertaker laugh.
* TheReveal: ''Several''.
** A flashback in Chapter 32 shows him seated with the former Earl of Phantomhive's gang. This doesn't get a followup until ''Chapter 85''.
** He was the one who created the Bizarre Dolls for kicks, setting off the whole Campania story arc.
** The Principal who escaped from Sebastian so quickly that only his clothes were left? Yeah, that was him too. He took the job ''after'' he helped the P4 hide a few bodies.
** And probably the most important: He's a Shinigami, and an incredibly powerful one at that - so much so that William has a bit of a freak-out when he realizes who the hell this guy is.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Again, only in the anime.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the manga and the anime, he reveals himself to be much nastier than the slightly creepy PerkyGoth everyone was used to, to the point in chapter 61 he ''stabs Sebastian in the gut with his scythe.'' His plan, which he explains in chapter 60, isn't a nice thing either.
* {{Undertaker}}: He is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly What It Says On His Nametag]]; the undertaker.
* WalkingSpoiler: Sure, we can talk about ''some'' stuff about this guy, but trying to explain him beyond the "silly Undertaker who enjoys jokes at other people's expense and has a morbid store with a just as morbid sense of humor" would require copious amounts of spoiler tags. Just look at his various tropes here.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: In the anime, Grell brushes out his BlindingBangs and is charmed by his eyes. She immediately asks him to make love to her.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: As of chapter 60.
* {{Yandere}}: Possibly for Ciel if his willingness to kill Sebastian for Ciel is any indication.
** Possibly a platonic variant if his (undefined) connection to Ciel's grandmother has anything to do with it.

-->"''Have you no faith in our swords?''"
Ciel's aunt on his father's side, as well as Elizabeth and Edward's mother. Like the rest of the Midford family, she is an expert swordswoman.
* ActionMom: A genius at the sword, Frances met and caught her husband's eye after defeating him in a fencing match. Despite being older and having birthed two children, her strength is not to be underestimated. She takes on the zombies abroad the Campania and helps to protect the passengers, sword in hand, floor-length dress hardly a hindrance.
* AlmightyMom: Displays shades of this: she'll chivvy ''anybody'' she thinks lacks decorum or taste and doesn't think twice about making them fit what she thinks is proper.
* TheDreaded: Played for Laughs, but also straight. Frances is a known badass and has a reputation for being a harridan, sure, but she's also one of the few people who could conceivably uncover Sebastian and Ciel's secret through sheer intellect.
* IronLady: The hair, the uncompromising attitude, the high standards: she's this all over. Which just adds to her already copious amounts of badass in that not only can she easily put Ciel in his place, she can make ''Sebastian'' break out in a cold sweat with her sheer intimidation factor.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: During the Campania arc, Frances is decked out in a typical, opulent Victorian dress, but it does little to hamper her skill with the sword.
* LadyOfWar: Mowing her way elegantly through a boat load of zombies is a good way to prove it...
* PrimAndProperBun: Her hair is usually styled in a neat bun, frequently berates Ciel and his servants for "sporting untidy hairstyles" by letting their bangs extend over their eyes.

'''Live actor:''' Akiyoshi Utsumi (Muscial)
Elizabeth's older brother, and Ciel's cousin. Edward is extremely overprotective and possessive of Elizabeth, and dislikes the fact that she is engaged to Ciel.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He adores his little sister and he wants protect her... but he overstates the most of the time.
* BigDamnHeroes: With Greenhill in chapter 71, saving Ciel.
* BrokenPedestal: His expression when he discovers that [[spoiler: the prefects he looked up committed multiple murder.]] Hearing the truth robs him of the satisfaction of enjoying the same privileges his predecessors once had.
* CoolBigBro: Lizzie thinks so, to his great satisfaction.
* CovertPervert: While playing cricket, he gets distracted by Lau's scantily-clad women (displaying the Victorian equivalent of naked breasts).
** He also blushes when Sebastian gives him a hands-on demonstration of how to be "a heartbreaker."
* {{Determinator}}: He is not a genius so he doubles his efforts to learn from those more talented than him.

The older twin brother of 'Ciel' and the rightful heir of the Phantomhive household. His twin brother assumed his name and identity after his death. However, the real Ciel somehow is back alive.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: He looks identical to his twin brother, the only major difference between them being that this Ciel's eyes are drawn in the same way as Ciel's father, Vincent.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: His core motives and moral alignment are still unknown, but it is all but stated that he is the one who [[spoiler:attempted to kill Soma, and possibly has the Blue Cult under his thumb]].
* BigBrotherInstinct: Flashbacks show Ciel deeply cared about his weak twin brother and always looked after him. He even wanted to become the Earl so he could help his brother when he was in trouble.
* CheerfulChild: In sharp contrast to his shy twin brother, Ciel was a very happy and lively kid.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There is an [[http://theofficialdoublecieltheorist.blogspot.dk/ ungodly huge amount of subtle foreshadowing]] throughout the manga that uses clever use of panel direction and minor visual cues to hint at the existence of a second Ciel, such as Vincent holding the hands of two boys during Baron Kelvin's flashback to meeting Ciel for the first time, with the one not introducing himself to Kelvin hiding behind Vincent.
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:He was killed as part of a ritual that resulted in Sebastian being summoned.]]
* StrongerSibling: Unlike his sickly and shy twin brother, Ciel was healthy and had a stronger and more confident character.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: True Ciel strongly resembles his father, Vincent, including inheriting his eyes.
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing there is another Ciel is a major give away for one of the biggest revelations in the manga.
