I'll guess Mikaela Hyakuya, but I'm not sure. The policy when the work name is missing is to remove it. Try contacting the troper who added it.

Googling the characters' names points out toward Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End. Needs confirming, but it looks the best fit.

If you can't find the work name, my guess is that such entry should be commented out, with an additional "Please add the work name", for later correction. (I doubt there is any written policy, though).

If the example is recent, you can also message the editor who added it, to point out the mistake.

In general, not something we want. Exceptions for "A short story by Specific Author" may be allowed, since the example can be cross-wicked to the author's Creator/ page, and it should be relatively easy for someone familiar with the author's work to fill in the name eventually. (I've seen this happen dozens of times.)

Without at least the author's name, though, or something similar to help pin it down, yeah, there's simply nothing to go on.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I'd recommend pulling the example to the discussion page, myself. But whatever works; I don't think there's a policy on it beyond you're supposed to have the work name in the example on the trope page.
