Virgil Sousa

Virgil Sousa is the younger brother of Ciel.
==Appearance==
Virgil is much younger than Ciel, and is short with a round face, two prominent front teeth, and moderately short black hair which he sometimes wears in two high ponytails.
==Personality==
Virgil is significantly younger than most of the primary cast. Before Ciel came out, Virgil had no particular experience with trans issues. As a result of this, many of his actions and responses are insensitive.
Virgil adores the family dog Borki.
He means well and cares greatly for his older sibling. As time has passed, he has gained a better understanding of Ciel's gender and of gender politics in general. This is shown most clearly in Comic 229, where he objects to the idea that Ciel shouldn't wear a "girl's" swimsuit.
In Comic 248, Virgil has his hair done up in twin ponytails. He seems comfortable not being typically masculine and stands up for himself when a friend makes fun of him for it. In Comic 285, he is seen wearing a pink dress at home; Ciel remarks that he's not trans; "he just likes to steal my stuff."
In Comic 279, Virgil comes out to his classmates as pansexual. They respond poorly, saying he "can't use that word."
==Relationships==
===Ciel===
Virgil and his sibling are quite close to each other. Virgil struggles to understand Ciel's gender, describing them in Comic 221 as "a bit like my sister". After describing them in this way, Virgil says that it will be his duty to protect them. After growing up a bit, Virgil has become exasperated by Ciel's goofy obliviousness and occasional hare-brained schemes; he helps out all the same.
==Trivia==
*Virgil is of Portuguese heritage and speaks Portuguese at home with his father and sibling. This could mean that he is either bilingual or multilingual. http://assignedmale.tumblr.com/post/129640218062/is-this-a-special-issue-of-assigned-male Ciel has remarked that Virgil speaks Portuguese better than they do.
