Bard from Kuroshitsuji
Bard/Bardroy (voiced in Japanese by Hiroki Tōchi and in English by Ian Sinclair) is the cook and part of the main defense team of the Phantomhive Manor in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.
He is a retired (by way of being hired to serve Ciel) American veteran and while he’s not the best cook in the world, he’s much better at the fighting aspect.
Bard has bright blue eyes, short, tousled blonde hair, and a stubbly chin. The main outfit we see him in is a full white chef’s coat and apron, white pants, black boots, blue goggles, and he usually has a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Finnian (Finny) from Kuroshitsuji
Finnian, also called Finny, (voiced in Japanese by Yuuki Kaji, and in English by Jason Liebrecht) is one of the important side characters in the anime Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.
Finny is the gardener of the Phantomhive estate, serving under Ciel Phantomhive, and often does things disastrously wrong. He was a scientific test subject before being rescued and hired on to Ciel’s service, and as such is uncommonly strong to the point of being nearly superhuman.
He has golden blonde hair, kept short and fluffy with five red hairclips holding the bangs out of his face, and his eyes are a tealy-green. The outfit he wears is the outfit he gardens in, a cream colored long-sleeve shirt with a red trim on all the hems and collar, with a set of goldenrod plaid capri pants, finished off with dark socks and gardening boots with a red trim to match the shirt. He also has a waist pouch for gardening shears, a set of white gardening gloves, and a sun hat, that does the dual purpose of protecting him from the sun, as well as hiding his test subject number.
Doll (Freckles) from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Doll (Voiced in Japanese by Ayahi Takagaki and in English by Mikaela Krantz) is one of the first-string members in Noah’s Ark Circus, in the anime Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.
She is the tightrope walker specialist of the circus and has an elegant persona while on stage, but also goes by the name Freckles, which is a lot truer to her actual personality.
Doll has one visible blue eye, the other covered by heavy facial scarring from burns, and choppy auburn hair that falls over the damaged eye. The outfit she wears as Freckles is light but also layered, as it’s fairly cold when the circus is running. It consists of a navy blue long sleeved shirt, with a white top button shirt over it, and a greyish lavender cardigan. Her pants are brown capris with differently shaded pockets, and brown lace-up boots.
Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Ciel Phantomhive (voiced in Japanese by Maaya Sakamoto and in English by Brina Palencia) is the main character in the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
Despite being barely a teenager, Ciel is ruthless in getting what he wants, including going down illegal paths or enlisting the help of his battle trained staff, as well as his demon butler, Sebastian. He works as a watchdog for the Queen and heads the Funtom Corporation that he inherited after the murder of his family, which he is still seeking revenge for (though if you’re reading the manga, that’s become a bit tricky lately).
While the color changes a bit between different seasons and OVAs, his hair is usually a blueish grey in color, and he has one vibrant blue eye, with the other one hidden behind his usual eyepatch being a deep royal purple, the Faustian contract he shares with Sebastian overlaid on it.
Ciel has several outfits throughout the series, but this one in particular is one we see a bit more than others. Starting with the accessories, these don’t tend to change, he has blue stud earrings, a black eyepatch, and two family-associated rings. The outfit itself starts with a white button up shirt, a black bow at the front, a long blue coat with matching blue shorts, black socks held up with black sock garters, and then black and white heeled oxford saddle shoes.
Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Alois Trancy (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is the partial main character of the second season of the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
The second season of the anime switches around between Ciel and Alois being the primary main character, with them bouncing off each other in explosive ways. Alois also has a demon butler (Claude), but he also has an additional hand over Ciel with the entire rest of his staff also being demons.
While outwardly putting out a bratty and stubborn persona, Alois is, like Ciel, highly traumatized by the events of his past, and uses his bad behavior as a defense mechanism to protect himself.
Alois has light blonde hair about the same length as Ciel’s, light blue eyes, and one main outfit that he’s seen in throughout the series. He does have a few other costume outfits and situational ones, but this one is the one we mainly see.
He has a white button up with loose sleeves, a large decorative bow at the front, a long purple coat with a standup collar, a green vest with black detailing, a pair of black short shorts, thigh high stockings, and tall brown heeled boots with purple lacing topped with a large purple bow. Like Ciel, he also has a ring he wears, a gold one that looks like an eye, with an inset ruby.
Grell Sutcliff
In Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji), Grell Sutcliff is a grim reaper who initially works as Madame Red’s butler. After he becomes… disgruntled with this position, he takes over and dons his signature red coat. Grell is equal parts flamboyant and sadistic, and has an unhealthy fixation with Sebastian Michaelis, to his dismay.
Sebastian Michaelis
In the manga and anime adaptation Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji), the demon Sebastian Michaelis has agreed to help the young Ciel Phantomhive in exchange for his soul. In the meantime, he acts as Ciel’s butler with vim and vigor.
