The-Queens-Underdog

Hmph, I suppose I should tell you a few things about myself. My full name is Ciel Phantomhive. I am 13 years old, and the current owner of the Funtom Company. We produce toys and confectionaries for children all across the globe.

Due to some past events I wish not to discuss, I have made a contract with a demon, who I named Sebastian Michaelis.

I like to try out different kinds of tea, my favourite being Earl Grey. I am fond of many authors and poets, and part of my job is to protect the Queen and serve as her underdog. That is my duty as a Phantomhive.



//Ciel is an arrogant and shrewd thirteen-year-old boy who holds numerous exalted positions: the head of the Phantomhive household, the chief manager of a chain of Funtom Companies, and the Queen's Watchdog.

As the Earl of the Phantomhive family and a distinguished nobleman, Ciel is very strict, proud, and accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle. He refuses to abase himself by dwelling in a meager environment for long.[15] Thus, he has considerable difficulty dressing himself and doing household chores if left on his own.[16] He is stern on his orders, especially in the assertion of his authority, and he expects his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, to complete them without any shortcomings. Ciel often finds it entertaining to challenge Sebastian in areas of both strength and skill.[17] He and Sebastian frequently work together, and only the latter seems to be fully aware of Ciel's schemes. Furthermore, Ciel has a relatively cold outlook on life; his main goal is for those who have betrayed the Phantomhive family to experience the same level of humiliation and suffering he did.[18] During his time as a slave to cultists who subjected him to atrocious cruelties, he was branded with a mark he absolutely does not want other people to see.[19] Ciel possesses unwavering determination; instead of moping around hopelessly, Ciel chooses to die without regrets by working hard to fulfill his revenge, despite his aunt's insistence that he should lead a happier life. He often compares predicaments to games, such as chess, willing to gamble with his life on the line to win them.[20]

As the executive chairman of the Funtom Company, Ciel exhibits business acumen and impressive keenness in management affairs. Cunning and artful, he successfully administers sister Funtom Companies simultaneously;[21] his greed is described as "knowing no boundaries" for when he learns that a performer could double the sales of his new product, he immediately puts up advertisements of her for promotion.[22]

As the Queen's Watchdog, Ciel demonstrates great loyalty to Queen Victoria and aims to accomplish all tasks she assigns to him. He is undaunted by dense mysteries and macabre cases, as he is confident that he will be able to solve them all.[23] He is readily prepared to resort to dishonest measures such as bribery, provided that he can gather more information and finish his job swiftly and efficiently—though, he claims it is simply flexibility on his part.[24] As his duty sometimes obligates him to disguise himself, he is quite a versed actor; unscrupulous, he has no qualms about lying and has faith that neither do humans in general.[25] He is merciless with his enemies, and does not hesitate to command for the utter eradication of them.[26]




Ciel displays signs of posttraumatic stress disorder due to his savage mistreatment as a slave to a perverse cult. He occasionally has flashbacks of the traumatic event and becomes completely unaware of his surroundings while suspended in the disturbing, vivid memory.[27][28] Due to this horrific past, Ciel seldom smiles; he had once admitted that he has forgotten how to smile happily.[29] Ciel does show genuine concern for the well-being of those close to him; for instance, he jumped in front of a bear to guard Elizabeth Midford,[30] and had sworn to protect her from a horde of violent Bizarre Dolls.[31] He also pays ample attention to the needs of his servants, for when he had heard that they desired new items, he went shopping with them and provided them with necessities.[32]

Although he usually presents a solemn and mature demeanor, Ciel can be rather childish at times. He is exceedingly competitive, which he acknowledges himself. He is unsatisfied with draws, and will refuse to quit until a victor is declared.[33] Sebastian has noted that because of Ciel's talent in competition, Ciel overestimates his skills to the point that he thinks he can never lose. This is why Sebastian is careful to make sure that Ciel will be gradually humbled by a decisive defeat and the guidance of an adult he respects.[34] Despite his weak physical condition, Ciel is competent with shooting; he always carries a gun in order to defend himself and has one under his pillow when sleeping.[35][36] Ciel is very fond of sweets,[37] and is allergic to cats.[38] He inherited asthma from his mother.[39]
