30* DrivenToSuicide: In chapter 105 it's revealed that all reapers were humans who committed suicide.
31* DuetBonding: On Unmei
32* {{Foil}}: To Sebastian, no less. Lampshaded by Sebastian himself in a song:
33--> A miserable Shinigami repeats lies and sins / to save a single soul,
34--> An approaching demon follows the orders / to devour a single soul
35* LoveMakesYouCrazy: He kill innocent humans in order to help lift Alan's curse.

47!! Video Game Only Characters
48[[folder: Stella Rose]]
49
50* AristocratsAreEvil: A rare subversion.
51* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: If one interprets her hair colour as light brown instead of dark blonde, Stella is the brunette to Lizzie's blonde and Lorraine's redhead.
52* BlueBlood: Lady Stella Rose, heir presumptive of a viscounty.
53* BreakTheCutie: Multiple times.
54* DrivenToSuicide: She and her father died in a double-suicide, [[spoiler:except not really. It was actually a murder and, while it's not explained very well in-game, either Stella somehow never really died and instead her spirit just separated from her body for a while or she was actually killed but after a time was able to return to her preserved body and come back to life.]]
55* EtherealWhiteDress: Her main outfit is a white dress with cream accents.
56* FriendlyGhost
57* GoodWearsWhite: For most of the game, not including [[spoiler:the time spent inhabiting Elizabeth's body, although that could also count as the dress Elizabeth wore most often was predominantly white (but appeared light pink from a distance due to sporting a multitude of thin dark pink stripes) and was accompanied by a pair of white gloves.]]
58* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has dark blonde hair and is one of the most kind-hearted characters to have shown up in any ''Black Butler'' media.
59* InnocentBlueEyes
60* InnocentlyInsensitive: To Lorraine.
61* LightIsGood: Pretty much unheard of for this series, but Stella is indeed this.
62* MementoMacGuffin: Her teddy bear.
63* ShelteredAristocrat
64* TaremeEyes
65* TurnTheOtherCheek: Asks that Ciel spare [[spoiler:Lorraine once her treachery is revealed. However, Lorraine is still arrested for murder and thus will likely hang, rendering this act of forgiveness kind of moot.]]
66[[/folder]]
67
68[[folder: Patrick]]
69
70* BattleButler: Alongside Sebastian, Patrick takes on a group of armed men and holds them off without injury.
71* TheButlerDidIt: [[spoiler:Subverted.]]
72* InSeriesNickname: The Grey Wizard.
73* IronicName: Patrick means 'nobleman'. This particular Patrick is the ''servant'' of a nobleman.
74* ObliviousToLove: To Lorraine's love specifically.
75* OldRetainer: [[{{VagueAge}} Age aside]], Patrick is this all over.
76* OnlyOneName
77* PermaStubble
78* RedHerring
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder: Norman [=McDowell=]]]
82
83* FatBastard: Quite the obnoxious character and overweight. Towards the end of the game, he [[spoiler:has a group of men open fire on Ciel and company when it's revealed Lorraine is the murderer. When that fails, he takes Ciel hostage.]]
84* HighClassGlass: Inverted. Similar to Tanaka, Norman is the (former) steward of the Roses and is not himself an aristocrat or particularly wealthy.
85* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Takes Ciel hostage]] shortly after his men are mowed down by Sebastian and Patrick.
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder: Lorraine [=McDowell=]]]
89
90* BitchInSheepsClothing: Presenting herself as polite and humble, young Miss [=McDowell=] seems very pleasant all-round. [[spoiler:But it was her who killed Stella and Viscount Rose.]]
91* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Stella's brunette and Lizzie's blonde.
92* CoolBigSis: Stella has thought of Lorraine this way ever since they were young children, even outright addressing her as 'sister'. [[spoiler:It is not reciprocated.]]
93* EvilRedhead
94* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Viscount Rose's punishments, which were really quite severe according to Lorraine herself.]]
95* GreenAndMean: The only outfit she is seen wearing is a predominantly green dress with white stripes. She also wears a dark green bow in her hair.
96* GreenEyedMonster: See TheResenter below.
97* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Not her entire motivation, but her love for Patrick is partly why [[spoiler:she killed the Roses.]]
98* RegalRinglets: Sports this hairstyle and is suitably proper, albeit not of the upper-class. A rare (at least up until relatively recently in the manga) subversion of ImprobableHairstyle; minus the hair that falls over her forehead (though even that isn't as bad an offender here as it is on most of the other characters), Lorraine's hairstyle resembles popular semi-formal styles of the 1860s.
99* TheResenter: [[spoiler:While Lorraine had more or less nothing and has been working since she was a child, Stella had no responsibilities or any real worries and came from a family that is not only aristocratic, but also extremely wealthy. Additionally, Stella and her father had the full attention and devotion of Patrick, the Rose family's butler and the object of Lorraine's affections. Her envy led her to destroy everything Stella loves.]]
100* TsurimeEyes
101* UncertainDoom: What with the game being non-canon to the manga, it will probably never be revealed whether or not [[spoiler:Lorraine is executed for her crimes]].
102* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Stella can attest to this. Lorraine also attempts to stab Ciel near the end of the story.]]
103[[/folder]]
104
105[[folder: Viscount Rose]]
106
107* AmbiguouslyEvil
108* AristocratsAreEvil: Perhaps not outright evil, but Lorraine certainly paints him in a cruel light and she seems sincere when doing so. Also, he's implied to have served Victoria in a similar role to the Phantomhives; perhaps he was one of the Villainous Nobles?
109* AssholeVictim: Lorraine has mentioned that the viscount's punishments were hellish.
110* BlueBlood: Was the Viscount of Rose before his death.
111* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Only ever referred to by his title, Viscount Rose.
112* NoNameGiven
113* PosthumousCharacter
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder: Lord Ridley]]
117
118* AmbiguousInnocence: Is a business partner of Lau's. According to him, Ridley is very strait-laced and not involved in anything... untoward, but it's possible Ridley knows of or at least has suspicions regarding Lau's true nature and is simply turning a blind eye.
119* BigFancyHouse: He's a rich aristocrat, so of course he has one of these. It serves as the venue of the ball he invites Lau, Lizzie, and Ciel to.
120* BlueBlood: Unlike Viscount Rose, and by extension Stella, his exact status is never specified.
121* OnlyOneName
122* RedHerring
123* SharpDressedMan
