-> Voiced by TakafumiYamaguchi (JP) and Z. Charles Bolton (ENG)

A demonic hound who somehow wandered into the human world, encountered by Ciel and company during a visit to the city of Houndmoor. Subsequently captured and brought back to the Phantomhive estate as a new pet.

* BigFriendlyDog: In a manner of speaking.
* [[spoiler: TheBrute: Pluto is this To Ash/Angela. ]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Sebastian kicks him around, he becomes a docile and obedient pet to the Phantomhive estate.
* DogsAreDumb: In a meta sort of way; while he seems bright for a dog, he has only a dog's mind despite the fact he is a demon who can shapeshift into human form.
* HellHound: Seems like the Hunter type.
* HumanShifting: His natural form is a giant, silver-white-furred wolfdog, but he can assume a human's body. Unfortunately, his mind remains that of an ordinary dog.
* InnocentFanserviceBoy: Because he only has a dog's mind, he doesn't understand that being human means he should wear clothes.
* NakedOnArrival: After changing to human form.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Especially when commanded by Ash/Angela.]]
* ShoutOut: Take out the demon-change-to-human part, and you get the other dog named Pluto.
* TheyHaveTheScent: Used to [[spoiler: track Lizzie when Drocell had her.]]
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Silver-furred as a hound and silver-haired (and good-looking) as a human.

-> Voiced by NanaMizuki (JP) and LuciChristian (ENG)

"''Look at you! You're so filthy! You look just like a drowned rat!''"

* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his demon butler.
* AgentPeacock: Dangerous and camp.
* AmbiguouslyGay: The only thing keeping it ambiguous is... nothing, actually. He rivals Grell himself in terms of overall flirtatious camp. Much [[DepravedHomosexual creepier]], though.
** Not very ambiguous at all anymore, after the scenes in episode 5 of season 2 when [[spoiler:he licked Ciel's ear, then later on told him that he "wanted him"]]. Or how in episode 8 he practically confessed his love to Claude and tells Claude in episode 11 "I wanted your love."
** His overly-sexualized behavior could be a mirror to Ciel's own HatesBeingTouched and, like Ciel, is a result of his abuse.
* AnimalMotifs: Apparently the Trancy clan has been long associated with spiders, and Alois himself has had quite a few WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic scenes with spiders and webs.
** His contract mark even looks a bit like a spiderweb.
* AristocratsAreEvil
* AxCrazy: [[EyeScream Oh dear, was that your eye?]] That's what you get for... [[DisproportionateRetribution looking at me?]]
** His behavior/actions in general are rather AxCrazy.
* BadassAdorable
* BadBoss
* {{Bishonen}}: Being a year older than Ciel, he could qualify for either trope.
* [[spoiler: BodyguardBetrayal: In episode 8, Claude betrays him.]]
* BodyguardCrush
* BreakTheCutie
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* CannotSpitItOut: By this point it is pretty obvious he is [[HoYay in love with Claude]]. However, even right before [[spoiler: Claude kills him]], he still never directly says that he loves him.
** [[spoiler: Averted in episode 11.]]
* TheChessmaster
* CreepyChild: Much more so than Ciel.
* CuteAndPsycho: And holy goddamned shit HOW!
** Possibly {{Yandere}} for Claude - see LoveMakesYouEvil.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His whole village was killed, including the only person he cared about at the time (Luca, who supposedly was his brother, although it is unknown whether they were blood-related or not). He was then taken and used as a sex slave for the head of the Trancy manor. Then he met Claude.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: With Claude. [[spoiler: It doesn't end well [[DyingAlone for Alois]]]].
** And again with [[spoiler: Hannah.]]
* [[spoiler:DecoyProtagonist]]
* DepravedHomosexual: [[spoiler: RapeAndSwitch, possibly.]]
* DesperatelyCravesAffection
* DoomedHometown
* [[spoiler:DyingAlone: Even more of a TearJerker due to the fact that it was Claude, the only person he seemed to care about, who killed him.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[spoiler: When he wore his maid's clothes.]]
* [[spoiler: EtTuBrute: At the end of episode 8, Claude offs him before their contract was even complete. Then again, the fact that he didn't save him from getting stabbed by Ciel earlier could also fit this trope.]]
* EvilBrit: This takes place ''in'' Britain after all.
* {{Expy}}: Ladies and Gentlemen, [[GardenOfSinners Lio Shirazumi's]] ''equally'' [[AxCrazy depraved]] '''[[InTheBlood 14-year old son!]]''' I mean, think about it. These two [[BlondGuysAreEvil look rather similar, blonde hair and all]], they [[VillainousCrossdresser crossdress]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil turned evil due to a crush they had]] (for Lio, with Shiki, for Alois, with Claude), they are AmbiguouslyGay towards a certain character (Mikiya Kokutou/Ciel Phantomhive) and have... disturbing fetishes... with Shiki Ryougi/Ciel Phantomhive to the point where they even start licking them and [[NotSoDifferent comparing themselves to them]]. And they threaten their MoralityPet loved ones (Mikiya Kokutou/Elizabeth Middleford) and practically have [[MonsterSobstory horrid backstories]] that [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds make you feel bad for them]] [[MoralEventHorizon until...]]
** And their voice actors SoichiroHoshi (Lio), NanaMizuki, and LuciChristian (Alois) are SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType with those characters.
** If you subtrackt the licking, Lio and Alois may both be expies of [[Manga/{{Monster}} Johan Liebert]].
* EyeScream: Performed on an undeserving maid. ''With his fingers.'' To [[LoveMakesYouEvil impress Claude]], apparently.
* {{Foil}}: Of Ciel.
* [[spoiler:{{Forgiveness}}: It's implied that he was able to forgive Claude that the latter killed him, as Hannah mentioned that she, Claude, Alois and Luca can all be together in nirvana.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: His foster family died in front of him, from unknown supernatural means, including his adoptive brother and only friend. When he was delivered back to his father after a life of what could be equated to slavery, [[AbusiveParents the man raped and beat him.]]]]
** [[spoiler: So it seems. However, in episode 8, his true backstory is revealed: he is really an orphan named Jim Macken. In his childhood, he and his younger brother Luca got by as thieves. After all the people in his village mysteriously died (including Luca), he was sent to the Trancy household to be a sex slave. This is where he formed a contract with Claude, and inherited the Trancy household fortune by using Claude to off old man Trancy and declaring himself heir.]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: An [[LoveMakesYouEvil evil]] variation. It gets so bad that eventually he doesn't care whether it's Claude, and [[spoiler: sells his soul to Hannah instead]] because [[spoiler: she]] was pretty much the ''first'' person since Luca to earnestly say "I love you".
* IOweYouMyLife: Subverted. [[spoiler: He ''would'' owe Claude his life, in a very literal sense (as with Ciel towards Sebastian), except that Claude killed him in episode 8. However, [[DeathIsCheap he came back to life]] in episode 10, but it is unclear if he still has a contract with Claude, and therefore it is also unclear if he still owes him his life.]]
* [[spoiler: KillTheCutie]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: The Slightly Chipped Full Moon and its variations.
* LonelyRichKid
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[EyeScream Poking out Hannah's eye]]...to [[{{Squick}} impress]] [[HoYay Claude]], apparently.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* NakedOnArrival
* NanaMizuki: SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType
** LuciChristian: Again, SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace
* NouveauRiche: He flaunts his money and doesn't rally seem to care, as seen by the first episode when he tosses bills and bills of money down to his "uncle".
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler: Performed on Claude. Claude still killed him.]]
* RagsToRiches
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Claude's Blue Oni. Can also be considered the Red Oni to Ciel's Blue Oni.
* RoyalBrat
* [[spoiler:SecretIdentity: Jim Macken]].
* [[spoiler:SexSlave: Used to be one to the late Earl Trancy.]]
* SissyVillain
* StepfordSmiler: Type C.

* [[spoiler:DecoyProtagonist]]
* DemiHuman: Like Sebastian, in his human form he has CuteLittleFangs. Also, his eyes are yellow/gold.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He doesn't care about fulfilling Alois's goals; he just wants [[SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious Ciel's soul]].
* EvilBrit: If he can count as one.
** Though sometimes they glow [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
* FangsAreEvil
* FourEyesZeroSoul
* TheGlassesComeOff
* GratuitousEnglish: "Yes, [[ActorAllusion your highness]]."
* HellishPupils: Occasionally.
* [[{{Jerkass}} Jackass]] [[BattleButler Butler]]
** Taken UpToEleven with his behavior towards Hannah in the Trancy OVA.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* MindRape: After he [[spoiler: killed Alois]], Claude abducted Ciel, drugged him, practically drowned him, and overall completely screwed with his mental state to the point of semi-hypnotism to accomplish his goals.
* MeaningfulName: Claude '''[[{{Faust}} Faustus]]'''.
* [[spoiler:TheOathbreaker: Sorry, Alois.]]
* RealMenWearPink: He's got a real talent for crocheting, as episode 9 of the season 2 shows. Though that may be playing with the fact that he's a [[spoiler:[[AnimalMotifs spider]] demon]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Alois's Red Oni.
* StoicSpectacles
* TheUnsmile: He smiles at the beginning of episode 8, [[{{Squick}} shocking and disgusting]] Alois.

* AbsoluteCleavage
* AffablyEvil
* AmbiguouslyBrown
* AntiVillain: Type II.
* BagOfHolding[=/=]HyperspaceArsenal : She ''IS'' one.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: [[spoiler:Against a freaking ''chainsaw'', no less. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that she's a demon.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: one of the two reasons she becomes attached to Luka. Hannah notes that he was genuinely excited that she appeared to him to grant his wish and that, [[YourSoulIsMine upon his death]], he was the first soul to have ever expressed gratitude towards her for granting their wish.]] [[spoiler: [[TearsFromAStone She was mournful in his death.]]]]
* [[spoiler: BenevolentBoss]]: [[spoiler: It is revealed in "Crossroads Butler" that the triplets actually serve Hannah when we see them groom her and assist her burning down Luka's and Alois' village in a flashback. In "Spider's Intentions", she is shown treating them gently, placing flowers in their hair, with the triplets seeming quite fond of her preferring her over Claude.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:In episode 10, she opens her mouth disgustingly wide to give Ciel a look at Alois' eye that she stole, which stares back at him from seemingly an abyss inside her.]]
* ButtMonkey
* ClothingDamage: A lot.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably, [[spoiler:of Angela. Both have white hair, look vulnerable at first, are actually stronger than they look and very manipulative and have crossed the limits of their own species (one is a FallenAngel and the other is a demon with feelings).]]
* EyeScream: The unfortunate(?) victim.
** Then she redirects it by [[spoiler: swallowing Alois's eye and keeping it in the back of her mouth so his soul can use it to take over Ciel's body.]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Although to some, with the amount of [[{{gorn}} eroguro]] that she becomes involved with, it could be FanDisservice.
* GirlWithPsychoweapon: Even worse than the giant gun she keeps [[{{TrouserSpace}} hidden somewhere]] is the [[{{VisualInnuendo}} massive sword]] she keeps literally inside her.
* GoGoEnslavement
* GreenEyedMonster: Shown to be jealous of Alois' love for Claude in [[{{OVA}} "Spider's Intention"]]. This is understandable considering that she has Alois' best interests at heart [[spoiler: while Claude ''does not''.]]
* [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer If You Do Anything To Hurt Him]]: Said to Claude in [[{{OVA}} "Spider's Intention"]] in regards to Alois since she's aware of Claude's more....[[{{Understatement}} devious]] nature. She doesn't get to finish her line though since [[{{Jerkass}} Claude's already pinned her to a tree and starts to assault and ridicule her.]]
* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler: It pays off in the end though.]]
* MadLove: For Alois. No matter how much he hurts her, she wouldn't think of leaving him, since [[spoiler: she absorbed Luca's love for him.]]
** [[spoiler: And he finally reciprocates her love when he finds out that she's always loved him and nothing more but the best for him.]]
* NinjaMaid
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While we were all busy feeling sorry for the poor girl with one eye, she went and {{OutGambitted}} everybody in the show by [[spoiler: having Alois' soul take over Ciel's body. Then she took both Ciel's and Alois's souls, forcing Sebastian and Claude into a duel over the former's, before making Ciel into a demon so that they both lose anyway.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Hannah was the one who made the contract that took Luca's soul, and she came to serve him alongside Claude because she and Luca both wanted to be near Alois.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Depending on the subs, it's either "Anafeloz" or "Annafellows".
* [[spoiler: TearsFromAStone: Demons aren't exactly emotionless but you do not make one [[CryCute cry easily.]]]]
* TrouserSpace: Where she seems to store a... [[{{Squick}} rather large machine gun]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Alois/[[spoiler: Jim Macken and his younger brother Luka.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: [[spoiler: Hannah was a typical, uncaring demon until she was summoned by Luca. His naivety and selfless reason for selling his soul shook her immensely, to the point where she became Alois's servant just to be close to him for Luca's soul.]]
* [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl Silver-haired pretty girl]]

-> Voiced by TakafumiYamaguchi (JP) and Z. Charles Bolton (ENG)

A demonic hound who somehow wandered into the human world, encountered by Ciel and company during a visit to the city of Houndmoor. Subsequently captured and brought back to the Phantomhive estate as a new pet.

* BigFriendlyDog: In a manner of speaking.
* [[spoiler: TheBrute: Pluto is this To Ash/Angela. ]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Sebastian kicks him around, he becomes a docile and obedient pet to the Phantomhive estate.
* DogsAreDumb: In a meta sort of way; while he seems bright for a dog, he has only a dog's mind despite the fact he is a demon who can shapeshift into human form.
* HellHound: Seems like the Hunter type.
* HumanShifting: His natural form is a giant, silver-white-furred wolfdog, but he can assume a human's body. Unfortunately, his mind remains that of an ordinary dog.
* InnocentFanserviceBoy: Because he only has a dog's mind, he doesn't understand that being human means he should wear clothes.
* NakedOnArrival: After changing to human form.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Especially when commanded by Ash/Angela.]]
* ShoutOut: Take out the demon-change-to-human part, and you get the other dog named Pluto.
* TheyHaveTheScent: Used to [[spoiler: track Lizzie when Drocell had her.]]
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Silver-furred as a hound and silver-haired (and good-looking) as a human.

-> Voiced by NanaMizuki (JP) and LuciChristian (ENG)

"''Look at you! You're so filthy! You look just like a drowned rat!''"

* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his demon butler.
* AgentPeacock: Dangerous and camp.
* AmbiguouslyGay: The only thing keeping it ambiguous is... nothing, actually. He rivals Grell himself in terms of overall flirtatious camp. Much [[DepravedHomosexual creepier]], though.
** Not very ambiguous at all anymore, after the scenes in episode 5 of season 2 when [[spoiler:he licked Ciel's ear, then later on told him that he "wanted him"]]. Or how in episode 8 he practically confessed his love to Claude and tells Claude in episode 11 "I wanted your love."
** His overly-sexualized behavior could be a mirror to Ciel's own HatesBeingTouched and, like Ciel, is a result of his abuse.
* AnimalMotifs: Apparently the Trancy clan has been long associated with spiders, and Alois himself has had quite a few WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic scenes with spiders and webs.
** His contract mark even looks a bit like a spiderweb.
* AristocratsAreEvil
* AxCrazy: [[EyeScream Oh dear, was that your eye?]] That's what you get for... [[DisproportionateRetribution looking at me?]]
** His behavior/actions in general are rather AxCrazy.
* BadassAdorable
* BadBoss
* {{Bishonen}}: Being a year older than Ciel, he could qualify for either trope.
* [[spoiler: BodyguardBetrayal: In episode 8, Claude betrays him.]]
* BodyguardCrush
* BreakTheCutie
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* CannotSpitItOut: By this point it is pretty obvious he is [[HoYay in love with Claude]]. However, even right before [[spoiler: Claude kills him]], he still never directly says that he loves him.
** [[spoiler: Averted in episode 11.]]
* TheChessmaster
* CreepyChild: Much more so than Ciel.
* CuteAndPsycho: And holy goddamned shit HOW!
** Possibly {{Yandere}} for Claude - see LoveMakesYouEvil.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: His whole village was killed, including the only person he cared about at the time (Luca, who supposedly was his brother, although it is unknown whether they were blood-related or not). He was then taken and used as a sex slave for the head of the Trancy manor. Then he met Claude.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: With Claude. [[spoiler: It doesn't end well [[DyingAlone for Alois]]]].
** And again with [[spoiler: Hannah.]]
* [[spoiler:DecoyProtagonist]]
* DepravedHomosexual: [[spoiler: RapeAndSwitch, possibly.]]
* DesperatelyCravesAffection
* DoomedHometown
* [[spoiler:DyingAlone: Even more of a TearJerker due to the fact that it was Claude, the only person he seemed to care about, who killed him.]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[spoiler: When he wore his maid's clothes.]]
* [[spoiler: EtTuBrute: At the end of episode 8, Claude offs him before their contract was even complete. Then again, the fact that he didn't save him from getting stabbed by Ciel earlier could also fit this trope.]]
* EvilBrit: This takes place ''in'' Britain after all.
* {{Expy}}: Ladies and Gentlemen, [[GardenOfSinners Lio Shirazumi's]] ''equally'' [[AxCrazy depraved]] '''[[InTheBlood 14-year old son!]]''' I mean, think about it. These two [[BlondGuysAreEvil look rather similar, blonde hair and all]], they [[VillainousCrossdresser crossdress]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil turned evil due to a crush they had]] (for Lio, with Shiki, for Alois, with Claude), they are AmbiguouslyGay towards a certain character (Mikiya Kokutou/Ciel Phantomhive) and have... disturbing fetishes... with Shiki Ryougi/Ciel Phantomhive to the point where they even start licking them and [[NotSoDifferent comparing themselves to them]]. And they threaten their MoralityPet loved ones (Mikiya Kokutou/Elizabeth Middleford) and practically have [[MonsterSobstory horrid backstories]] that [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds make you feel bad for them]] [[MoralEventHorizon until...]]
** And their voice actors SoichiroHoshi (Lio), NanaMizuki, and LuciChristian (Alois) are SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType with those characters.
** If you subtrackt the licking, Lio and Alois may both be expies of [[Manga/{{Monster}} Johan Liebert]].
* EyeScream: Performed on an undeserving maid. ''With his fingers.'' To [[LoveMakesYouEvil impress Claude]], apparently.
* {{Foil}}: Of Ciel.
* [[spoiler:{{Forgiveness}}: It's implied that he was able to forgive Claude that the latter killed him, as Hannah mentioned that she, Claude, Alois and Luca can all be together in nirvana.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: His foster family died in front of him, from unknown supernatural means, including his adoptive brother and only friend. When he was delivered back to his father after a life of what could be equated to slavery, [[AbusiveParents the man raped and beat him.]]]]
** [[spoiler: So it seems. However, in episode 8, his true backstory is revealed: he is really an orphan named Jim Macken. In his childhood, he and his younger brother Luca got by as thieves. After all the people in his village mysteriously died (including Luca), he was sent to the Trancy household to be a sex slave. This is where he formed a contract with Claude, and inherited the Trancy household fortune by using Claude to off old man Trancy and declaring himself heir.]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: An [[LoveMakesYouEvil evil]] variation. It gets so bad that eventually he doesn't care whether it's Claude, and [[spoiler: sells his soul to Hannah instead]] because [[spoiler: she]] was pretty much the ''first'' person since Luca to earnestly say "I love you".
* IOweYouMyLife: Subverted. [[spoiler: He ''would'' owe Claude his life, in a very literal sense (as with Ciel towards Sebastian), except that Claude killed him in episode 8. However, [[DeathIsCheap he came back to life]] in episode 10, but it is unclear if he still has a contract with Claude, and therefore it is also unclear if he still owes him his life.]]
* [[spoiler: KillTheCutie]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: The Slightly Chipped Full Moon and its variations.
* LonelyRichKid
* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[EyeScream Poking out Hannah's eye]]...to [[{{Squick}} impress]] [[HoYay Claude]], apparently.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* NakedOnArrival
* NanaMizuki: SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType
** LuciChristian: Again, SEVERLY PlayingAgainstType
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace
* NouveauRiche: He flaunts his money and doesn't rally seem to care, as seen by the first episode when he tosses bills and bills of money down to his "uncle".
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler: Performed on Claude. Claude still killed him.]]
* RagsToRiches
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Claude's Blue Oni. Can also be considered the Red Oni to Ciel's Blue Oni.
* RoyalBrat
* [[spoiler:SecretIdentity: Jim Macken]].
* [[spoiler:SexSlave: Used to be one to the late Earl Trancy.]]

* BagOfHolding[=/=]HyperspaceArsenal : She ''IS'' one.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: [[spoiler:Against a freaking ''chainsaw'', no less. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that she's a demon.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: one of the two reasons she becomes attached to Luka. Hannah notes that he was genuinely excited that she appeared to him to grant his wish and that, [[YourSoulIsMine upon his death]], he was the first soul to have ever expressed gratitude towards her for granting their wish.]] [[spoiler: [[TearsFromAStone She was mournful in his death.]]]]
* [[spoiler: BenevolentBoss]]: [[spoiler: It is revealed in "Crossroads Butler" that the triplets actually serve Hannah when we see them groom her and assist her burning down Luka's and Alois' village in a flashback. In "Spider's Intentions", she is shown treating them gently, placing flowers in their hair, with the triplets seeming quite fond of her preferring her over Claude.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:In episode 10, she opens her mouth disgustingly wide to give Ciel a look at Alois' eye that she stole, which stares back at him from seemingly an abyss inside her.]]
* ButtMonkey
* ClothingDamage: A lot.
* {{Expy}}: Arguably, [[spoiler:of Angela. Both have white hair, look vulnerable at first, are actually stronger than they look and very manipulative and have crossed the limits of their own species (one is a FallenAngel and the other is a demon with feelings).]]
* EyeScream: The unfortunate(?) victim.
** Then she redirects it by [[spoiler: swallowing Alois's eye and keeping it in the back of her mouth so his soul can use it to take over Ciel's body.]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Although to some, with the amount of [[{{gorn}} eroguro]] that she becomes involved with, it could be FanDisservice.
* GirlWithPsychoweapon: Even worse than the giant gun she keeps [[{{TrouserSpace}} hidden somewhere]] is the [[{{VisualInnuendo}} massive sword]] she keeps literally inside her.
* GoGoEnslavement
* GreenEyedMonster: Shown to be jealous of Alois' love for Claude in [[{{OVA}} "Spider's Intention"]]. This is understandable considering that she has Alois' best interests at heart [[spoiler: while Claude ''does not''.]]
* [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer If You Do Anything To Hurt Him]]: Said to Claude in [[{{OVA}} "Spider's Intention"]] in regards to Alois since she's aware of Claude's more....[[{{Understatement}} devious]] nature. She doesn't get to finish her line though since [[{{Jerkass}} Claude's already pinned her to a tree and starts to assault and ridicule her.]]
* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler: It pays off in the end though.]]
* MadLove: For Alois. No matter how much he hurts her, she wouldn't think of leaving him, since [[spoiler: she absorbed Luca's love for him.]]
** [[spoiler: And he finally reciprocates her love when he finds out that she's always loved him and nothing more but the best for him.]]
* NinjaMaid
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While we were all busy feeling sorry for the poor girl with one eye, she went and {{OutGambitted}} everybody in the show by [[spoiler: having Alois' soul take over Ciel's body. Then she took both Ciel's and Alois's souls, forcing Sebastian and Claude into a duel over the former's, before making Ciel into a demon so that they both lose anyway.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Hannah was the one who made the contract that took Luca's soul, and she came to serve him alongside Claude because she and Luca both wanted to be near Alois.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Depending on the subs, it's either "Anafeloz" or "Annafellows".
* [[spoiler: TearsFromAStone: Demons aren't exactly emotionless but you do not make one [[CryCute cry easily.]]]]
* TrouserSpace: Where she seems to store a... [[{{Squick}} rather large machine gun]].
* UndyingLoyalty: To Alois/[[spoiler: Jim Macken and his younger brother Luka.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: [[spoiler: Hannah was a typical, uncaring demon until she was summoned by Luca. His naivety and selfless reason for selling his soul shook her immensely, to the point where she became Alois's servant just to be close to him for Luca's soul.]]
* [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl Silver-haired pretty girl]]
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You gotta have silver hair]]
* [[spoiler:YourSoulIsMine: In the end, SHE ends up with Luca AND Alois' souls. [[TogetherInDeath They're pleased.]]]]

[[WMG:Ciel Phantomhive]]
[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4758-896508614_7047.png]]
-> Voiced by MaayaSakamoto (JP) and BrinaPalencia (ENG)

"''I'm arrogant, but not so much that I'd irresponsibly save someone just to brag about it.''"

The current Earl of Phantomhive, the sole survivor after the mysterious and untimely deaths of his parents in a fire. With the aid of his loyal butler, Sebastian, who appeared in his service only two years ago, he has not only maintained but strengthened his family's wealth and title, while also serving as "the Queen's Guard Dog", charged with investigating and dealing with problems relating to the underworld.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Usually very solemn and composed, he is very committed to his jobs (running the Phantomhive family business, and [[spoiler:fighting supernatural evil]]). Slightly different from the norm in that most people take him quite seriously, at least the ones who know him well.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: As of the most recent chapter, he's definitely this toward Elizabeth. He threw himself in front of a {{bear|sAreBadNews}} for her chapters ago, but [[spoiler:most recently he's taken to doing whatever he has to do to make sure she's safe from a ship load of [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies zombies]]. Her mother, who's normally overprotective, calmed down upon finding out that her daughter was with Ciel because she knew he'd protect her.]] That's a pretty high level of trust there!
** Subverted something ''fierce'' in chapter 57, as it turns out Elizabeth was [[spoiler:more [[LittleMissBadass badass]] than him [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel all along]] and ends up saving ''[[DistressedDude him]]''.]]
** Pulled it again in chapter 58, [[spoiler:even though Lizzie saved him. He doesn't want her trapped on a sinking ship rife with zombies and shinigami, even if Sebastian and him are staying on board, so he has Sebastian knock her out and give her over to her brother.]]
* AristocratsAreEvil
* ArrangedMarriage: With his [[KissingCousins cousin Elizabeth]]. In one of the beginning chapters he says that he was ''forced'' to marry her and does not really want to. He does seem care for her, though.
** PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Well, not perfectly, but he does seem to have warmed up to the idea some more.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Subverted, as although he holds the highest rank in the Phantomhive Household (not to mention the fact that he works as the Queen's freaking watchdog), he's also a bit of a pansy, and likely the most physically incapable in the [[WorldOfBadass entire series]].
* {{Badass}}
** BadassAdorable
** BadassAndChildDuo: In spite of Ciel's badassery, he's still the NonActionGuy, which permits him to work this trope with Sebastian.
** BadassBoast: Ciel is ''very'' proud of being Earl Phantomhive, and would very much like you to know that.
** BadassLongcoat[=/=]BadassCape: ''Both''.
** HeartbrokenBadass
* BadGuysPlayPool
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Against Alois.
* BeautifulDreamer: Subverted in that ''everyone'' seems to like watching him sleep, so it can be taken in a non-romantic way as well.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: In the manga, Ciel's goal is to torture and kill the people who killed his parents, though once this goal is complete, it is almost certain and an inescapable fate that Sebastian will eat his soul. In the anime, [[spoiler:this is averted, as Ciel becomes a demon and Sebastian is unable to take his soul]].
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil
* BirthdayHater: [[spoiler: His tenth birthday was the day his house burned down with both parents inside. And he was kidnapped, and taken off to be a slave to a cult. Really great birthday!]]
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his demon butler.
* BreakTheCutie
* BrokenAce
* ByronicHero: A very young example, but he still fits this trope to a T.
* TheChessmaster: Proved it during the murder mystery arc where he [[spoiler: planned out and orchestrated the entire event. To sum it up he basically allows the murder mystery to play out all while knowing who the true killer was, keeping everyone else from finding out, placing the blame on someone else in order to complete the mission given to him from the queen, all while not only keeping suspicion off of himself, but also making himself seem like a victim. Then very end where he only tells one character based off of [[Literature/SherlockHolmes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] of his scheme because he wanted to motivate him to continue to write mystery novels.]]
** Also, [[spoiler:with a few [[ILied well chosen words]] towards Snake, Ciel turned a former enemy into another one of his devoted servants.]]
* CannotTellAJoke: It takes him ''all night'' to make Undertaker even utter a simple "...hah."
* [[spoiler:ColdBloodedTorture: Performed on him by the cultists seen in his [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]]]].

* CorruptTheCutie: Pretty much what [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil the cult]] [[BreakTheCutie did to him]]. It becomes apparent throughout the series that Sebastian may be slowly making it worse (see [[RulesOfTheInternet rule number 43]].
* CreepyChild
* CrossDressingVoices: In both sub and dub.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Moreso in the anime than the manga.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:His parents were killed, his house was burnt down, he was kidnapped, sold, and used as a sacrifice for a cult. Then he met Sebastian and sold his soul to him.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: With Sebastian.
* DeadpanSnarker: Anime-only, for the most part. In the manga he's portrayed mainly as TheComicallySerious.
* DeathSeeker: In the anime, at least, he seems genuinely eager to die so long as he gets his revenge first.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Iceking]]: He has become significantly nicer towards people, at times even swallowing his pride to make Lizzy happy or showing concern for Snake and even Sebastian.
* DistressedDude: For all of his vocal badassery Ciel is actually not that skilled in combat. He constantly has to be saved by Sebastian as their deal dictates. However, it is not only Sebastian. As it turns out he is this for his [[spoiler:[[ChildhoodMarriagePromise fiancée]] [[BadassAdorable Elizabeth]]]] too.
* TheDogBitesBack: After Ciel's [[spoiler:parents were killed, his house was burnt down, he was kidnapped, and he was tortured]], he decided that he would seek out the person/people who killed his parents and deliver to them the same pain that he went through. Along the way he also decided that he doesn't mind killing people who get in the way of his plans.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Joker even had to ask if he was a boy to make sure.
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Boys Love Their Mamas]]: Even now, Ciel [[TearJerker loves the deceased Rachel and Vincent]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Ciel deeply cares for Elizabeth and his (deceased) parents and aunt. At one point in the anime, he even stops Sebastian from hunting down Grell because he "doesn't want Lizzie to witness anymore bloodshed."
* EvenTheGuysWantHim
* EvilBrit: This takes place ''in'' Britain after all.
* EvilEye
* {{Expy}}: Of Literature/ArtemisFowl from Eon Colfer's book series of the same name.
* EyepatchOfPower: Because walking around with a demon's seal available to anyone who looks you in the eyes is [[RedRightHand kind of gauche.]]
* FishOutOfWater: The circus arc shows that Ciel doesn't take well to unfamiliar territories, i.e., actually having to work.
* AGlassOfChianti: Occasionally.
* HatesBeingTouched: He appears to not enjoy physical contact, though he tolerates Sebastian and does not complain when the demon picks him up or holds him. If he is stressed, he will slap someone touching him away, proclaiming, "Don't touch me so easily!" This is a negative influence of the trauma he underwent during his time as a slave.
* HollywoodAtheist: Driven away from all promises of heaven by his experiences in life, despite the fact he has a covenant with an honest, actual-to-truth demon who has freely told him that, yes, there is a heaven, and yes, Ciel will suffer horribly once his soul ends up in the demon's clutches.
* IllBoy: He suffers from asthma, for one.
* ImprobableAge: Ciel is the leader of a popular toys and candy company, is working for the queen as a black ops/assassin, owns a mansion, and is rich from the money he inherited when his parents died. He is also only 13 years old, and this whole situation likely started around ''three years ago''.
** He's also highly skilled at pool to the point that he can beat a bunch of adults, despite being ''so short'' he actually has to ''sit on the pool table to make a shot''.
* InformedAbility: The first few volumes have characters like Sebastian and Madame Red waxing poetic about Ciel's [[TheChessmaster chessmaster skills]] before he does anything even ''remotely'' close to chessmaster status.
* InnocentProdigy: Sebastian outright says in the murder mystery arc that Ciel is still a child despite being the head of the Phantomhive manor.
* InSeriesNickname: "The Queen's watchdog/guard dog," one of the "evil noblemen."
* IOweYouMyLife: In a ''very'' literal sense towards Sebastian.
* JadeColoredGlasses
* KissingCousins: He is [[ArrangedMarriage engaged]] to his cousin Elizabeth.
* KubrickStare
* [[spoiler: LaughingMad: After all the crap he pulled during the circus arc, he ventures off to the workhouse they were told about only to find out that it's in ruins. Ciel finds this darkly amusing.]]
* [[LittleMissSnarker Little Mister Snarker]]: Again, mostly in the anime, as the manga portrays more as TheComicallySerious.
* LittleProfessorDialog
* LivingADoubleLife
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* MarkOfTheBeast
* MismatchedEyes: The eye that isn't blue is purple and has Sebastian's seal on it. By the rules of demon contracts, the more visible the spot you put the mark, the more power you get - and what's more visible than your eye?
* NiceHat: Ciel has many a fancy hat, particularly his top hat.
* NonActionGuy[=/=]NonActionSnarker: A rare inversion, as he's the main character and he's far from being a ButtMonkey; he's simply physically weak. Ciel generally sits in the sidelines and watches Sebastian doing the fighting.
* NonIdleRich
* NotSoStoic: When he breaks down, he ''breaks down''.
* OddCouple: With Sebastian.
* PerpetualFrowner: Moreso in the anime than in the manga. Especially in the second season, where you can count on one hand the number of times he smiles, even if it's just a smirk.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: His [[spoiler: breakdown over Sebastian's "death" in the murder mystery arc]] can be considered this, although later on this is [[spoiler:subverted, as they were just acting]].
* PowerAtAPrice: He sells his soul in return for help from Sebastian in succeeding in all of his goals, including killing his parents' murderer[s]. After that last goal is finished, Sebastian will be able to take Ciel's soul.
* {{Pride}}: Ciel seems ''very'' proud of his status.
* RagsToRiches: An interesting aversion in that he went ''from'' riches to (being tortured in) rags, then back again.
* [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning: Anime-only. When he gets turned into a demon, his eyes can glow an eerie fuschia.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Alois's Red Oni.
** To a lesser extent, the Blue to ''Sebastian's'' red as well. Mostly only in the anime though.
* RoyalBrat
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: The reason that he can usually get away with killing anyone he wants without any consequences.
* SecurityBlanket: There is a specific pillow that he cannot sleep without. [[spoiler: Subverted, as it is later revealed that it was just an excuse to hide the blood on Sebastian's chest.]]
* SlouchOfVillainy: He slouches when he's about to do something particularly nasty, and unless he is standing up, almost always gives orders to Sebastian exclusively in this pose. Also, he does it in almost all the official art.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess
* TheSnarkKnight
* SpoiledBrat: Sebastian certainly thinks so.
* StaticCharacter: So far in the manga, Ciel has had little to no character development. This rings ''especially'' true in the anime, particularly in contrast to [[TheFoil Alois]] who had lots of it in the second season, despite it being so short.
* TheStoic: Though he can get very angry, his default personality in the manga seems to be pretty stoic.
* SupernaturalIsPurple: His EyepatchofPower hides his cursed, [[MismatchedEyes mismatched]] eye that holds the symbol of his contract with Sebastian. It's purple, and glows with an eerie neon when he gives Sebastian an order.
* SympatheticMurderer: As if you didn't want to give him a big ol' hug when he [[spoiler:Ordered Sebastian to kill Baron Kelvin and set a bunch of kids on fire]].
* TeenGenius: Although he's not a clichéd TeenGenius and appears to add up more with the ChildProdigy trope, he is in fact 13 and qualifies as a teenager.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: When partnered with Sebastian.
* TroubledButCute
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior
* UnableToCry: He could cry when he was younger, but now he apparently can't. [[spoiler:The closest he has come to since then was when his eyes got watery in chapter 34]].
* UsedToBeASweetKid: So much he's the trope image.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Type 2 is one way to interpret his relationship with Sebastian.
* WeirdnessMagnet
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In the manga, it's become apparent that Ciel is either afraid of his DarkAndTroubledPast, knives/sharp objects (since he always seems to react particularly stronger emotionally if they are involved), or both.
