***Lady*** **Elizabeth Midford** (エリザベス・ミッドフォード, *Erizabesu Middofōdo*) is the daughter of Alexis Leon and Francis Midford, younger sister of Edward Midford, niece of Vincent Phantomhive and Rachel Phantomhive, and the cousin and fiancée of Ciel Phantomhive.

## Description

### Appearance

Elizabeth is a teenage girl with emerald-green eyes and waist-long golden-blonde hair worn in two big drills, save for a slightly curled cowlick at the front.

Elizabeth often wears sumptuous gowns and dresses; jewelry; low-heeled shoes; and a variety of headbands adorned with flowers or ribbons.

### Personality

Elizabeth is a strong-willed and cheerful individual who has a fondness for anything cute, such as small animals and flowers. Divinator Blavat Sky described her as someone who moves "to their own rhythm." She is "stubbornly fixed"> on her hobbies, being both extravagant and somewhat fastidious about her clothes and shoes. She tends to impose her sense of fashion and preferences upon others while doggedly refusing to take no for an answer; for instance, she insisted that Ciel refer to her by her nickname, "Lizzie" (リジー, *Rijī*).

Elizabeth maintains an affectation of grace and innocence; her aunt instilled in her the notion that all ladies should act weak and endearing in front of their lords, smile often, and be surrounded by nice things. Nevertheless, beneath the studied display of ladylike mannerisms, Elizabeth is a bold, fiercely talented swordswoman who usually wields double swords: She effortlessly slayed several Bizarre Dolls to protect Ciel and later held her ground against Sebastian Michaelis, who deemed her strength admirable for a human. Her brother once admitted that her swordsmanship is superior to his.

Elizabeth loves Ciel dearly; Blavat even likened her feelings to an "obsession." She is consumed with worry for him, and she earnestly desires to protect him at all costs.

Elizabeth's favorite foods are shortcake, strawberries, and cherries. She also likes strawberry and orange aromatized tea, or Shalimar tea. Her favorite flowers are pink marguerites, and she loves animals, especially rabbits, kittens, squirrels, and poodles. Additionally, she is afraid of ghosts.

## Etymology

* Elizabeth" comes from Ἐλισάβετ (*Elisabet*), the Greek variant of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע (*Elisheva*) which means "my God is an oath." It is derived from the roots אֵל ('el) referring to the Hebrew God and שָׁבַע (shava') meaning "oath."
* "Midford" comes from the place name Mitford in Northumberland and means "ford at the junction of two rivers." These two rivers are the River Font and the River Wansbeck.

## Trivia

* Before Yana Toboso settled on "Elizabeth," she also considered naming her "Margaret" or "Lion."
* Elizabeth was inspired by Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and the poem "All in the golden afternoon..." from the book's beginning.
* There is a popular belief that Elizabeth's birthday is October 14. However, Yana Toboso has never settled on a birthday for her.
