## Story

### Alignment

Neutral

Ciel is a timorous , heart-driven poet aspiring to prove that the heart is the moral compass in a world full of pitiless and constant executions.

## Appearance

Ciel is a 5’6 tall young man with a soft build. He doesn't have much muscle and is terrible at heavily physical activities and sports.

He has curly hair and warm, brown eyes. He has a warm skin-tone, rosy cheeks, and a pink nose making him resemble a mouse.

He is often wearing a vest over a silk blouse, stockings, brown bloomers (I don’t know the historical name) and buckled shoes. He wears a floppy cap. He also often wears round spectacles.

**Voice:** Tom Clegg (as Ernest Greeves from Layton's Mystery Journey)

(He doesn’t have to sound like this. This is simply to give a concept.)

## Personality

Ciel is very dreamy and imaginative. His head is often in the clouds and he has a bad habit of getting distracted by his thoughts. He uses his imagination as a safe haven from his outside reality. His distaste for reality prompted him to take interest in the arts. He finds comfort and consolation in fictional worlds, fictional characters and fanciful metaphors. He can very easily be swept away by a fairytale.

When he is not in his head, he is timorous and faint-hearted. He can’t handle stressful or frightening experiences very well and is prone to fainting. He is constantly anxious about the world around him and the situations to come. It doesn’t help that his father is the head executioner and is prepping him to becoming the next.

However, Ciel has a very optimistic outlook on his future. Despite his current situation and the city’s anti-artistic “Golden Rules”, he sees himself one day being able to publish some poetry and win over some friends.

He is lonely and struggles with making friends, due to his obsession with the illegal art of poeticizing. However, he dreams of meeting friends similar to the adventurous and rebellious characters in his storybooks. (Which he eventually succeeds in, befriending Amaris, Horacio and Rozmarinus.)

## Relationships

**Franz:** Even as a young child, Ciel found his father to be loud and overbearing. He would often react to the sound of his father’s voice similarly to how a dog does during a thunderstorm. As Ciel grew up, under the heavy influence of his mother and his traumatic experience with her death, he grew more and more opposite to his father. Ciel despises his father for his outlook on morality and people. He does not wish to take over his father’s career. After finding out that Franz had executed his biological parents and illegally adopted him, he attempts to completely dismember himself from Franz and his legacy.

**Isaac Jekroy:** Ciel views Isaac as a parental figure and prefers him to Franz. Although Ciel is sometimes let down by Isaac’s depressive attitude, Ciel often finds a remedy to his loneliness and spite towards his father through the interactions he spends with him. He views Isaac as being the most open-minded person he knows and will often talk to him about his struggles and dreams of being a poet.

**Amaris Cerdanye:** Ciel greatly admires Amaris for her bravery, stealth and adventurous nature. He finds her very similar to the heroes in the fairytales he would read. The two of them form a very close bond.

**Horacio Crocus:** Despite Horacio being 10 years younger than Ciel, he treats him like a younger brother. Since he is so gutsy and belligerent, he often stands up for Ciel.

**Anatole Rozmarinus:** Ciel and Rozmarinus have a very close friendship. Rozmarinus was the first of the criminal gang to meet Ciel and befriend him. He was quickly attracted and captivated by his “enchanting” looks and charming personality. Being a painter, the first thing Rozmarinus did after meeting him was paint him a portrait. After finding out that Ciel, too, had an artistic profession, he became very attached to him. This eventually grew into an overbearing passion and obsession with Ciel. Ciel is rather flustered by all of Rozmarinus’ flattery, but has a great admiration for him in return.

**His Mother:** Ciel was very close to his mother. As a young child, she would tell Ciel many fairytales and acted out plays with him. This really spiked Ciel’s interest in storytelling and art. However, Franz was unaware of the kind of things his wife and son were doing and assumed they were following the “No storytelling rule”. This caused a lot of tension.

**Philo:** Despite having an intense rivalry with her, Ciel doesn’t actually know that much about Philo due to the very minimal amount of personal information she gives. All Ciel knows is that she’s trying to fight against the Superbian uprising and follows the “laws of the past”. Her way of thinking seems to be similar to Franz’s, but ironically she’s a *poet*.
