"From now on, I want to try and learn all sorts of things. And someday, I'll become a great man who won't lose to anyone and show you!"

An Indian prince, and the twenty-sixth child of the Raja of Bengal. He came to England to track down his nursemaid Mina, but after learning that Mina left India on purpose to become a rich man's wife and that she hated him for his ignorance and self-absorbed personality, Soma decided to stay with Ciel and learn how to act as a gentleman and even proclaims to be Ciel's best friend.


  • Attention Whore: During his introduction, he craves for the attention of everyone around him. He keeps interrupting Ciel's schedule just so he plays with him. Soma grows out of it after becoming more mature.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: Turns out, he takes this to extremes.
    • The real reason he rescued Agni from execution years ago had something to do with a previous incident where Agni saved Soma.
    • He stays in London constantly trying to befriend someone who he knows dislikes him because Ciel helped him become a better person, and he wants to return the favor.
  • Berserker Tears: After Agni's death, when Ciel approached him and asks him what happened, he punched him in tears.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: After being one of the most harmless and nicest characters for most of the series, he flies into an uncharacteristic rage when three robbers assault a boy and his mother and try to steal the urn containing Agni's cremated remains.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Much to Ciel's annoyance, Soma decides to become a big brother to his friend and will help him out in every way he can.
  • Break the Cutie: He gets broken in Chapter 127 when Agni is killed by the real Ciel and Lord Polaris. His kind and caring personality completely disappears afterwards.
  • Broken Bird: After Agni's death, Soma is no longer the same cheerful and kind person from before.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: After witnessing a few thugs steal from the starving child and almost breaking the urn containing Agni's ashes, Soma becomes disillusioned with humanity and decides helping people isn't worth it anymore.
  • Despair Event Horizon: After Agni is killed by the real Ciel and Lord Polaris, Soma is fixed on avenging Agni, even if he must turn his back on "salvation."
  • Excellent Judge of Character: He becomes surprisingly good at analyzing people after deciding to try and understand others' feelings. He knows full well what kind of person Ciel is, and that Ciel doesn't return his feelings of friendship. But because he wants to pay Ciel back for helping him get his act together, and because he sees Ciel's potential for improvement, he stays in England. He's fully aware that Ciel might stay forever alone and bitter, but he'd rather risk being hurt for a chance to help save Ciel.
  • A Friend in Need: He stays in London even though he has no need to because he wants to be there for Ciel when he needs him, even though Ciel doesn't even think of him as a friend and believes he should stop getting involved with him before he regrets it.
  • Friend to All Children: He has Agni cook curry buns for poor children.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Agni care deeply about each other, and they are always seen together.
  • I Will Find You: He originally comes to London so he can search for maidservant who he thinks was kidnapped by an English nobleman. The truth is that Mina left with the nobleman willingly because she was sick of being a servant.
  • Impaled Palm: In chapter 127, Soma saves himself from being killed by placing his right hand in front of gun instead. Thus, badly injured his hand.
  • Jerkass Realization: Sebastian and Ciel make him see just how insensitive and ungrateful he has been due to taking so many things for granted in his spoiled lifestyle. He then decides to become a better man who appreciates others.
  • Keet: He's very cheerful and happy-go-lucky.
  • Lonely Rich Kid: He felt very lonely at the castle, making him cling on to Mina for the attention his parents didn't give him.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's a very pretty prince with wavy, shoulder-length plum hair, with a part of it clipped in a ponytail.
  • Manchild: He's seventeen years old, but he behaves like an immature and self-centered child until Sebastian and Ciel set him straight, motivating him to start acting like an independent adult.
  • Nice Guy: A bit self-centered, but a genuinely good guy.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Soma wants to keep trying to befriend Ciel and help him see that he deserves to have people who care about him in his life. Even though Ciel and Agni try to talk him into returning to India, Soma believes he should stay in London for Ciel's sake. Unfortunately, the choice to stay only gets him targetted by Ciel's twin brother and Agni gets killed while protecting him, after which he does finally leave London.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Agni's death hit him hard, even driving him to attack Ciel and beat him some thugs that tried to spill Agni's ashes.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: His main role is being the source of some of the series' biggest light-hearted and comical moments.
  • Pretty Boy: Notably cute, which makes him attractive as part of Ciel's Boy Band.
  • Pretty Freeloader: Despite being a filthy-rich prince, he decides to live under Ciel's roof until Ciel sends him to manage his London townhouse.
  • Put on a Bus: Last seen taking a ship back to India with Agni's ashes in an urn.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: In the Vedas (ancient Hindu texts), the deity Soma is connected to the deity Agni, giving significance to Soma giving the name Agni to his servant.
  • Revenge: He greatly wants revenge on the real Ciel who killed Agni.
  • Royal Brat: Because he's a prince, he thinks he can simply invite himself at the Phantomhive mansion and boss the residents around. Sebastian and Ciel make him see that he's acting like a brat who has leeched off his parents' money his whole life and whines when things don't go his way. He soon grows out of this after that.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Sensitive Guy to Ciel's Manly Man. Soma is cheerful, emotionally open, and very idealistic in contrast with the cold, aloof, and cynical Ciel.
  • Sheltered Aristocrat: He's a prince who was raised in luxury at a palace and knows next to nothing about the real world when he arrives at London.
  • Shoo Out the Clowns: Agni's death hits him hard and not only does he loses his optimism, but he heads back home to India to signal that the series has gotten a darker turn.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Massive ditz, but intelligent and well-educated enough from a young age that the finest academy in England has nothing to teach him. He was bored. It also turns out he's got a better understanding of Ciel's true personality than any other character except Sebastian.
  • Tears of Blood: Soma starts to cry tears of blood similar to how Agni was after he beat up three thugs who attempted to steal Agni's cremated remains. It implies he somehow obtained Agni's supernatural power.
  • Terrible Artist: His drawing of Mina is very ugly-looking.
  • Those Two Guys: After the curry arc, Soma and Agni almost always appear together in the series' most light-hearted chapters. Until Chapter 127 has Agni killed off.
  • Took a Level in Cynic: Agni's death and witnessing the cruelty of some thugs makes the once innocent and idealistic prince become bitter, cynical, and obsessed with revenge.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: After Agni dies protecting him from the real Ciel and Lord Polaris, the previously kind-hearted Soma becomes cold, uncaring and only caring about avenging Agni.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Not the he was exactly a jerk, but he's introduced as a self-centered Spoiled Brat who keeps annoying others as he does whatever he wants, demands attention, and throws tantrums. After getting a good scolding from Sebastian and a lecture from Ciel about appreciating what he has since he hasn't suffered the same degree of loss and trauma as him, Soma realizes he must learn how to be more considerate to others and sets out to become a better man. He's later seen doing charity for the poor until Agni's death.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He loves curry.
  • Would Hurt a Child: In chapter 128, blinded by rage after losing Agni, Soma punched Ciel. He did it because he thought Ciel was the other "Ciel" who was the real attacker behind Agni's murder.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: She tries to track down his nursemaid Mina, believing she'd been kidnapped by an Englishman, only to find out that she left India on purpose because her caste meant she would only ever be a servant and instead wanted to be a rich man's wife.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AgniCharaProfile_5229.png

"It's for my master to be bright and healthy that I would risk my life. Isn't that what you would call a butler's aesthetics?!"

A Brahmin who renounced his old ways to become Soma's servant.


  • The Ace: He may not be a demon but he's a competent fighter and very good at whatever task he needs to accomplish. He was even able to get Bardroy, Mey-Rin, and Finny to actually work competently, simply by assessing their strengths and weaknesses, something that even Sebastian for all his badassery can't do!
  • All for Nothing: "Betrayed" Soma for Harold West in order to keep the secret of Meena's reason for leaving him behind a secret, thinking it would crush his master's heart. It turns out Soma took it pretty well.
  • Badass Normal: Agni's a capable fighter, able to stand up and hold his own against Sebastian, despite being a completely ordinary human. Sebastian calls him an "extraordinary specimen".
  • Battle Butler: He's Soma's Khansama and is strong enough to evenly match Sebastian in strength despite being human.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Jo aagyaa", a (phonetically-spelled) Hindi phrase roughly meaning "As you command".
  • Charles Atlas Super Power: At first, Ciel believed him to be another supernatural creature, since he managed to achieve a draw in a duel against Sebastian. But the latter reassures him that Agni is a normal human, despite his skills.
  • Chef of Iron: The "Hand of God" isn't a reference to his combat prowess but rather to his cooking.
  • Eye Scream: In chapter 127, Agni loses his right eye to Lord Polaris.
  • Forced into Evil: He was forced to help Harold West Jeb win a curry competition and had his competitors withdrawn by humilliating them with pranks, all in order to protect Soma from the Awful Truth that Mina left India with Harold willingly.
  • Good Counterpart: He comes off as a rather benign foreign counterpart to Sebastian. Whereas Agni is a benevolent and good-hearted human who is wholeheartedly loyal to his master, Sebastian is a heartless demon who only obeys his master because he wants to eat his soul.
  • Go Out with a Smile: Despite losing his eye and bleeding to death, he gives one last smile to his master before locking Soma in a closet to protect him from the assassins.
  • The Hedonist: Was this in his backstory before he was to be executed for his crimes.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: In Chapter 127, he sacrifices himself to keep Soma safe from being killed by the real Ciel and Lord Polaris.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Soma are always together, caring deeply about each other until Agni's death in Chapter 127.
  • Hired Help as Family: His master Soma treats him as something between a close friend and a family member.
  • Human Pincushion: He's killed by being stabbed in the back by several knives.
  • Important Haircut: Soma cut his hair when he saved him from his execution and gave him a new name.
  • I Owe You My Life: Agni used to commit a lot of crimes in the past, and he was sentenced to death for his deeds. But Soma pardons him, giving him a new name and role, and Agni had been a loyal servant to him ever since.
  • Irony: Agni's final wish is that Soma would continue to help other people and illuminate them with his light like he did for him. Sadly, Agni's death quickly sends Soma into despair as he loses hope in humanity, so he will dedicate his life to revenge.
  • Karma Houdini: Tries to defy it. In the manga, he spends an entire chapter trying to confess to Scotland Yard about being blackmailed by West into attacking people, but Ciel stops him.
  • Last Request: As Agni sacrifices himself, he only wishes for his master to continue being the sun that shines upon others.
  • Like a God to Me: When Soma saved his life, Agni came to believe Soma was the incarnation of the gods.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: To Soma. After Mina reveals she always hated Soma, Agni is the only person who deeply cares for Soma. After Agni's tragic death, Soma soon decides life is hopeless and chooses to devote himself to avenging Agni while turning his back on salvation.
  • Meaningful Rename: His original name is Arshad Satyendra Iyer. He was renamed Agni by Soma on the day the prince saved his life and made him his servant.
  • Mundane Utility: His "blessed hand" is perfect for making curry because it instinctively knows which spices and how much of each are the right combination. Characters even call it the "curry of Kali".
  • Nice Guy: One of the most kind-hearted, compassionate and loyal characters in the series.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: He is only referred as Agni instead of his real name (Arshad Satyendra Iyer) he abandoned long time ago.
  • Pressure Point: He makes use of them in his fighting. Notably he uses this ability to free Ciel's servants from Hannah's brainwashing in season 2.
  • Reformed Criminal: Before he became Soma's servant, Agni committed many crimes and was about to be hanged when Soma appeared to save his life. He has become an admirable and noble person since then.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: He's named after the Hindu god of fire, since the Hindu deities Agni and Soma (the deity his prince is named after) are connected in the Vedas.
  • Sacrificial Lion: In Chapter 127, he was killed protecting Soma from the real Ciel and Lord Polaris. He was stabbed seven times.
  • Satellite Character: Nearly his entire characterization and actions revolve around his role as Soma's Khansama who lives to protect the prince. Although he's given a bit of backstory, it's mainly to justify his Undying Loyalty to Soma.
  • Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: He's an Indian man with dark skin and white hair, and is Soma's loyal Battle Butler and right-hand man, and one of the strongest natural fighters in the series.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In anime of season 2, he's alive and well by his master side, but in the manga, he's killed by the real Ciel and Lord Polaris in Blue Cult Arc.
  • Supreme Chef: His "Hand of God" allows him to make the most delicious curry in all of India.
  • Tears of Blood: He sheds these when unleashing his "Hand of God".
  • That Man Is Dead: Invoked by Soma when he stopped Agni's execution, declaring the criminal Arshad Satyendra Iyer had died that day and would be reborn as his servant Agni.
  • Those Two Guys: After the curry arc, he and Soma almost always appear together in the series' most light-hearted chapters. Until Agni's death in Chapter 127.
  • Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Agni is one of the kindest and most pure-hearted characters in the series. He's the first major character to be killed, preparing the audience for the big tragedy the story is turning into.
  • Tragic Bromance: He tragically sacrifices his life while protecting his master. His death breaks Soma.
  • Undying Loyalty: To his master Soma, who he calls "his sun". Agni obeys every command Soma gives him without question. Soma saved him from being executed, and he will never stop repaying it. To the point where even in death, his grip on the door Soma was behind was so strong that Sebastian would rather pull the door-handle off than try to undo Agni's grip.

    Mina 

Mina

Voiced by: Yūko Gotō (JP), Nazia Chaudhry (EN, Season 1), Alexis Tipton (EN, "Ciel in Wonderland") Foreign VAs

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meena_1.png

A maidservant from Soma's palace. Soma thought of her as an older sister and when he heard she left to England with a nobleman, he traveled to London with Agni to take her back.


  • Broken Pedestal: During their reunion at the end of the curry arc, Soma learns the hard way that Mina isn't the kind Cool Big Sis he thought her to be and she makes clear how much she hated taking care of him in the palace.
  • Gold Digger: She left India with Harold because becoming the wife of a rich man looked much better to her than staying servant born into a low social class.
  • Hidden Disdain Reveal: When she reunites with Soma, Mina reveals she was always annoyed by Soma's Attention Whore behavior and left the palace because she didn't want to spend her entire life listening to the whims of a Royal Brat. Surprisingly, Soma takes this very maturely and lets Mina go, even apologizing for chasing her all the way to England without ever thinking of her feelings, although learning that she hates him still hurts him.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In the first season of the anime, Lau doesn't bother to have Ran-Mao kill her and her husband.
  • Uncertain Doom: Her last appearance in the manga has Lau sending Ran-Mao after her and Harold. It's all but stated they were murdered, but neither's body was shown.

Germany

    Sieglinde Sullivan 

Sieglinde Sullivan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sieglinde_sullivan.png
"I'm the lord of this forest."

The Emerald Witch and the liege lord of Werewolves' Forest. She manages an obscure village named Wolfsschlucht within the forest.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: Ciel is very uncomfortable about Sieglinde's blatant sexual interest in him due to her perverted tendencies towards him. She's far from being the Grell to his Sebastian, though.
  • Adorably Precocious Child: She may be the wise landlord of her village and the "Green Witch", but deep down she's still just a very intelligent child.
  • Agony of the Feet: Her induction as the new Green Witch involved having her legs and feet forcibly broken and bound by Wolfram back when she was barely a child. And it was all because of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax... by her own mother no less!
  • Alliterative Name: Sieglinde Sullivan.
  • All Witches Have Cats: In the flashbacks, Sieglinde is seen with a black cat plushie when she's raised to believe herself to be a real witch and her doodles also featured cats. That said, she does not have any actual cat companions.
  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: The first night Ciel and Sebastian stay at her mansion, Sieglinde tries to win their favor by sexually offering herself to them because she believes All Men Are Perverts. When neither of them take the offer, Sieglinde is so confused that she even questions if Ciel is a guy.
  • The Atoner: After escaping her mother's clutches, she chooses to use her vast intellect to develop a cure for the sick and those who were affected by her mother's mustard gas. As Ciel put it, it would be "magical".
  • Big Eater: She has a voracious appetite, not quite on the same level as Charles Grey, but with much more gusto.
  • Break the Cutie: The poor girl doesn't take well the revelations that her entire life was a lie, she's actually a Tyke-Bomb raised solely to create a poisonous gas and her own mother was the mastermind behind all this and only sees her as a pawn.
  • Child Prodigy: She could read at the age of three and understood the chemical formula for the mustard gas left by her father.
  • The Comically Serious: She throws herself at the bed of Ciel's and Sebastian's room and speaks about never expecting her first time to be a threesome. All with a deadpan expression on her face.
  • Cool Chair: She sits at a large chair with horns for mealtimes.
  • Crotch-Grab Sex Check: She questions Ciel's manhood due to his lack of sexual interest in her. She proceeds to confirm he's a boy by using her own hand.
  • Cute Witch: The cutest witch you'll ever meet... even though she's actually not a witch.
  • Deal with the Devil: Ciel notices that Sieglinde's feet are bound. Centuries ago, the founder of the village offered her legs to the Werewolves to protect the village from the Witch Hunt. Since then, all Lords have lived as cripples to continue the pledge. It was all a lie, actually her feet were bound to keep her from escaping if she learned of being a Tyke Bomb.
  • Dirty Kid: She seems to know a lot about sex for an 11-year-old. Once she moves to England, she relishes any chance to examine Ciel, though he actively has to verbally keep her from checking "certain areas".
  • Disappeared Dad: Her father was killed in the explosion of an unstable mustard gas before she was born.
  • Doing In the Wizard: The "Ultimate Magic" she worked all her life on in order to recreate the magical "miasma", is actually a chemical formula for a poisonous gas.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: She wears a very ornate black dress with an exceedingly antiquated style, dating back to many centuries ago, which makes her look even more like a witch in a way.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: Her face becomes this trope after learning that all of her servants and friends lied to her for years to keep her from discovering her mother's plans. She also realizes Wolfram was also in cahoots with her mother and she all but screams at him and calls him a liar.
  • Fille Fatale: She attempts to seduce Ciel and Sebastian, genuinely believing this to be the only way to gain their trust. Her seduction attempt fails miserably.
  • Foil:
    • To Ciel, as a Child Prodigy who has their previous, (relatively) sheltered life and what innocence they had left shattered and makes a promise in regards to it.
    • Also to Lizzy: one is a Little Miss Badass who wants to protect a loved one (Ciel) but hides this trait from him; the other has been officially assigned the role of a protector (via magic/intellect rather than physically) but her "Protectorate" hides her true role (which involves quite the opposite of protecting people) from her.
  • Friendless Background: She's lived within the Witch Forest her entire life with just servants for company. Ciel is the first person she can call a friend. Turns out this was deliberate on her mom's part, given she wanted Sieglinde to have absolutely zero influences in her life that could possibly distract her from finishing the gas.
  • Gilded Cage: The Wolfsschlucht village was all part of an elaborate act made by the government to keep Sieglinde trapped in an environment where her mind would focus on nothing more than creating the "ultimate spell" (actually a poisonous gas).
  • Good Bad Girl: Has a bit of a dirty mind, but she's ultimately a nice girl.
  • Herr Doktor: After her status as a magical witch is proven false and the village is destroyed, Sieglinde moves to England to become the German scientist who lends her aid to Ciel.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Wolfram's tiny girl. He often carries her in his arms.
  • I Just Want to Be Free: She only wishes to go out of the forest and see the outside world.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: She enjoys the idea of leaving the forest to see the outside world, wearing normal clothes, and having ordinary friends.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Given her isolated upbringing, her desire to have a friend in Ciel is understandable as well as very cute and endearing.
  • Important Haircut: After moving to London, Sieglinde trades her long hair for a bob cut to symbolize a fresh start. Sebastian is left aghast, because as it happens, long hair is currently fashionable in London.
  • Improbable Age: She's 11 years old, and yet she is a landlord. She also knows, though unconciously, advanced chemistry used to created a bomb of poisonous gas.
    • She also discovers blood groups. At 11. note 
  • Inelegant Blubbering: Her reaction to The Reveal, and later when Wolfram is wounded.
  • Innocent Prodigy: She represents this trope, especially on this page where seeing her scrawling out the scientific formula for mustard gas makes you want to go "D'Awwwww".
  • Lamarck Was Right: Sieglinde inherited her amazing talent for chemistry from her father and was already able to understand the basis to create mustard gas he was developing when she was still a toddler.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: The sorts of things she'd like to do to Ciel aren't exactly difficult to imagine. When Sebastian brings Ciel to her during a possible emergency, she delights at the chance to have him undress so she can examine him.
  • Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: Her mother is a crazy scientist who raised her as a Tyke-Bomb and manipulated her entire life just to finish the previously failed project on the mass-production of a stable biological weapon.
  • Master Poisoner: An unwitting and tragic example. The miasma that Sieglinde believed was meant to help sustain the werewolves was not only a form of mustard gas but quite possibly the most deadly variety of it. Of course she had no knowledge of what it truly was and broke down when she found out, and now she wants to use her intellect in order to develop cures as opposed to poisons.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • Of a twisted sort, considering who gave it to her. "Sieglinde" translates to "gentle victory"... ...if by "gentle" you mean "silently killed by poisonous gas", that is.
    • Later, she is given the nickname "Sully" which literally means "damage of purity/integrity". This could be referring to when she found out the truth about what she was being used for.
  • The Medic: Apparently, when she's not working on mustard gas, she is in charge of dealing with the side effects of the experiments on others. She definitely fills this role for Ciel and Sebastian and Wolfram.
  • Morality Pet: To Wolfram. Before meeting her, he was just a Tyke-Bomb that didn't know anything besides killing for the sake of the country. Thanks to her, he discovered the desire to protect something and at the end, he betrays the army for her.
  • No Social Skills: Hasn't had much contact with the village, and none with the outside world. She has literally never seen a man in person before, aside from her Butler, who she claims doesn't count. It was all on purpose, so Siegliende didn't have anything else to do except finishing the gas formula.
  • Our Witches Are Different: Subverted. She's an ordinary human girl with extraordinary intellect. The "green witch" is actually a title of a military project.
  • Puppet Queen: She believes she's the landlord of the village, but she's actually a Tyke-Bomb raised with the sole motive of developing a chemical weapon and the villagers are actually soldiers.
  • Rescue Romance: She seems to have developed a genuine crush on Ciel for freeing her and giving her a better life.
  • The Reveal: Sieglinde isn't a witch, she never was. She was just a test subject used for a military project to develop the stable mustard gas.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Sebastian's clearly not a nice teacher to Sieglinde during the etiquette lessons and takes every opportunity he can find to strike or discipline her and shutting down Wolfram's and Soma's protests to boot. It's when he decides to put what amounts to medieval mouth spreaders on both Sieglinde and Wolfram to "help with their accents" that she screams jumbled obscenities at him and storms off.
  • Secret-Keeper: When she learns from Sebastian the implications of Ciel's Dark and Troubled Past, she promises she won't tell anyone, to the butler's relief.
  • She Knows Too Much: If Sieglinde manages to escape the village in any way (which she eventually does), she is to be killed immediately on sight to prevent others from using her vast knowledge.
  • Spider Limbs: After arriving at London, she builds herself mechanical spider legs so she can move around without a wheelchair or Wolfram.
  • Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Gender inverted with her and Wolfram. She's the child genius and he's the big, muscular Battle Butler.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She comes across as serious, blunt and solemn, but she's still a kind-hearted and curious little girl who only wants to have ordinary friends.
  • The Tease: She likes making dirty and suggestive remarks to Sebastian and Ciel.
  • Too Hungry to Be Polite: She loves to chow down like a little piggy, especially when Sebastian is the one who cooks her meals for her, much to his and Ciel's disgust. As a result, Sebastian made sure a large part of her Training from Hell included learning proper table etiquette.
  • Training from Hell: Sebastian is in charge of preparing her to meet the queen, with the etiquette lessons leaving her exhausted, hungry and frustrated. When he becomes too harsh and she storms off on him, Lizzie helps to make her lessons easier to handle.
  • Tyke-Bomb: She's actually a test subject used for a military project to develop the stable mustard gas. Her entire life as the "Green Witch" was just a way to manipulate her into concentrating in her research.
  • Unusual Euphemism: Doesn't get any less unusual (or squicky, considering her age) than "Tonight I destroy the key to the secret chamber that I have guarded for the past eleven years of my life."
  • Unwitting Pawn: Believed that the "ultimate magic" she was creating would restore miasma to the world, making it more habitable for supernatural creatures like the werewolves. She was actually solving a formula for a chemical weapon meant for bioterrorism. Whoopsie.
  • Walking Spoiler: From the middle of the Emerald Witch arc, all crucial information about Sieglinde and the true nature of her "witchcraft" is a spoiler.
  • White Mage: Performs a healing ritual to save victims of the werewolf's curse. Chapter 97 indicates the "healing ritual" was false because the "werewolf's curse" is not miasma, but a chemical weapon.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Has to swap clothes with Ciel as a disguise. Even before that, she would have been perfectly willing to wear Ciel's clothes simply because they're from the "outside world". Though in her case it's probably curiosity more than anything.
  • Young and in Charge: The landlord of the village at only 11 years old. She's a descendant of the village's "founder". Subverted.

    Wolfram Geltzer 

Wolfram Geltzer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch88_wolfram.png

Sieglinde Sullivan's butler.


  • Always Someone Better: He's very angry at Sebastian for being such a better butler than him that Sieglinde asked him to be her butler while Ciel gets better from the "werewolf's curse" or rather, the poisonous gas effects.
    Sebastian: It feels like he's about ready to bite my head off.
  • Battle Butler: Seems to be this for Sieglinde. Later revealed that he's an army lieutenant and was chosen to be her butler because the "Green Witch" needed the best fighter to keep an eye on her—putting the emphasis on the "battle" part of the trope.
  • Becoming the Mask: He's part of a huge "Scooby-Doo" Hoax in order to manipulate Sieglinde into creating a poisonous gas and is under orders to kill her if she ever finds out the truth, but he really does care about her. When Sieglinde calls him out for lying to her, he's visibly hurt, and he seems to have some reluctance towards killing his charge. At the end, he almost dies while helping Sieglinde escape and he moves to England to continue watching over her.
  • Cute Little Fangs: Of the canine variety, as versus Sebastian's more feline fangs.
  • Deep Cover Agent: He is a lieutenant, the rest of the village men are soldiers as well.
  • Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Unlike Sieglinde, he still doesn't know to speak English very well and this makes it hard to understand what he means unless he's talking in German.
  • Hellish Pupils: Flashes these when introduced.
  • Hot-Blooded Sideburns: He has sideburns and is one of the most hot-tempered characters in the series.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Sullivan's huge guy. He's almost always carrying her in his arms.
  • Human All Along: Early in the Emerald Witch arc, the readers are lead to assume Wolfram might be a werewolf in human form because of his canine teeth and Sieglinde calling him more of a "guard dog" than a man. Chapter 97 shows that he's a human, not a werewolf; in fact, there are NO werewolves in the forest. Just soldiers wearing a very convincing werewolf costume.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has anger issues and is unfriendly to anyone besides Sieglinde, but he truly cares for Sieglinde from the bottom of his heart and would do anything to protect her.
  • The One Guy: He's the only male in the Wolfsschlucht village.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: It's implied that "Wolfram Geltzer" is not his real name, but instead the name given to him when he was assigned by the army to look after Sieglinde. In the flashback, the person who assigns it to him notes that he "finally" has a name, implying he never actually had one before now.
  • Parental Substitute: He's the closest thing to a parental figure Sieglinde has ever known as he has been her personal caretaker since she can remember. Wolfram also cares for the girl as if she was his child even though his original mission was to kill her in case of emergency.
  • Satellite Character: He's characterized through his close relationship with Sieglinde and his wish to protect her. It's justified because he had nothing in his life before he met Sieglinde and she's the first human being he learned to care about.
  • Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Gender inverted with him and Sieglinde. He's the big, muscular Battle Butler and she's the child genius.
  • Tyke-Bomb: Ever since he can remember, he was trained to be a soldier to serve the country.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Sieglinde. He was supposed to kill her if she ever found out the truth, but at the end he betrays the army to let her be free.

    The Old Hag 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ch97_the_village_crone.png

An old woman of the Wolfsschlucht village, whose main duties are to give advice to Sieglinde and to warn outsiders not to enter the Werewolves' Forest.


  • Abusive Mom: She made up the whole "witch offering her legs to werewolves" legend to keep Siegliende from escaping if she found out the truth. She broke the legs of her own daughter just to keep her in the village.
  • Arc Villain: Of the Green Witch arc. She's responsible for everything that happened in the village.
  • The Chessmaster: She is the one behind the "Green Witch" military project.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She doesn't understand why her daughter breaks down at the revelation that her entire life was a massive "Scooby-Doo" Hoax to manipulate her into finishing the previously failed project on the mass-production of a stable biological weapon. From her point of view, Siegliende should be happy that she created a chemical weapon meant for bioterrorism.
  • Evil Matriarch: Certainly.
  • Happily Married: Was implied to be this until the lab accident.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: She used to be quite beautiful until her face was horribly scarred in a laboratory accident.
  • Karmic Death: Sebastian forced her to inhale the toxic mustard gas via a kiss for using her own daughter to create a bio weapon, which killed her instantly.
  • Love Makes You Evil: She was shown to be devastated by her husband's death in a laboratory accident that severely disfigured her. So when her daughter Siegliende displayed her dead husband's intelligence, she made the little girl an Unwitting Pawn to finish the project in memory of her husband.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: She's Siegliende's birth mother, but kept this fact secret from her as part of the fake story she told the little girl all her life.
  • Mad Scientist: The whole village is actually a military area, the villagers are soldiers in disguise and Siegliende is an Unwitting Pawn for her own mother. Just to finish the previously failed project on the mass-production of a stable biological weapon.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Even Ciel was disgusted by the way she used and manipulated her own child.
  • No Name Given: It is possible her surname is Sullivan.
  • Walking Spoiler: Plays a much larger role in the arc than it first seems.
  • Younger than She Looks: She looks like an old crone because she was caught in a gas explosion which left her severely burnt.
