Character name: Ciel Phantomhive
Character journal: sweetsky
Series name: Kuroshitsuji
Canon notes: End of chapter 129 (November 28, 1889) but also Riverview CRAU of one year
Species: Humaaaaaaaaan..? (canon hints that something is UP with his family line)
History: Canon History
Arriving in Riverview Quarantine at the start of July, Ciel was antagonistic towards most everyone he met, even Undertaker. However, after adjusting slightly to the advanced nature of the world, he admitted his need for help and was taught to use the phones by Damian Wayne.
Over the next couple months, he quickly realize how out of his comfort zone this world and its people were. Especially when a mutated pollen caused him, and many others, to love memories. In the time he suffered amnesia, he latched onto the one familiar person there: Undertaker, who made sure he was fed, clothed, and cared for. Even dealing with the teens recurring nightmares after a cure was found for the mass amnesia.
Before the end of the year, he opened a Riverview Branch of Funtom Toys and Candy, ensuring he was self-sufficient without the bi-weekly payments give to him by the government as a minor. He also found himself without a roommate in his government assigned housing, the one he'd been assigned moving out without warning. Around that same time, Undertaker moved in with him to look after him.
He also met, and befriended, Beverly Crusher, Laura, Jason Todd, and Jonathan Kent. He also discovered a new treatment for asthma in the for of an inhaler after a asthma attack while having lunch with Jason drove him to the hospital and Beverly.
Around October, he ended up experiencing, and sharing, memories with residents of the Quarantine. He learned more about Jason, Beverly, and Undertaker in the midst of it all. He also purchased a house with Undertaker.
In December, as a birthday gift, Undertaker paid for Ciel to have the brand on his back removed. Months later, he returned to have his eye, and the attached contract seal, removed.
While he never opened up too deeply about what happened to him and to his family, he did reveal enough that his newfound friends supported him as they could. Jason even encouraged his desire for revenge.
Personality:
Ciel, to start, is a nobleman. He grew up knowing a life of luxury, having everything he wanted or needed. In that, Ciel can be considered spoiled. Even now he wants for nothing, as the head of the Phantomhive family though he has grown more responsible through the events (the cultists that enslaved and branded him, the murder of his family and burning of his home) he endured. It also left him less trusting, more grim. Ciel has trouble seeing the world without seeing some of the worst, he rarely even smiles, confiding in Sebastian that he can’t remember how to “smile happily” just after the butler tried to teach him to dance.
The incident with the cult also left Ciel with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (implied in the manga and anime but he shows all the symptoms of it). There are incidents where, when reminded of the incident, Ciel gets lost in the memory and panics. Or he has nightmares regarding it which leaves him in flight or fight mode when he wakes up. One such example being when he has a nightmare of his branding, Sebastian wakes him up and he immediately pulls his gun from under his pillow and points it at the butler.
Additionally, as the new head of the Phantomhive family, Ciel is responsible for his household, with acting as a proper nobleman (which means humoring his fiancée at times), following the queens orders (and the Phantomhive family is referred to as the Queen’s Guard Dog), as well as many other responsibilities.
He also runs the Funtom Company, a company that focuses on confectionery treats and toys that happen to be one of the popular items in shops. Which shows that he’s business savvy and, since he is a child still himself, likely gives him a better insight as to what children would want. And his seemingly insatiable appetite for sweetslikely adds to the confectionery aspect of his company. Or may well be the reasoning for it.
And while Ciel appears composed, mature for this age, he is still a child. He has a temper as evidenced by the fact that he tried to slap his fiancée after she destroyed the (one of kind) blue diamond ring that had been passed down to and worn by every head of the Phantomhive family. And yet, once Sebastian stopped him from striking her, he came back to his senses and buried his feelings enough that he could dance with her that evening and act as a proper gentleman. Afterwards though, he couldn’t hide how much it bothered him from Sebastian, going so far as to try to remove the ring at the end of the night before remembering it was gone.
Ciel also tends to be determined, to the point that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge on the people that killed his family and sold him as a slave to a cult. To the point that he made a contract with a demon, namely Sebastian. At the fulfillment of the contract, he’s aware that Sebastian will devour his soul.
He can also be very cynical. Ciel genuinely believes that other people act solely on matters that benefit them or that they can’t be trusted. The only people he’s shown to fully trust, or almost fully, are Tanaka, Sebastian and, briefly, Madam Red.
HOWEVER! While a lot of his core personality (above) remain intact, he's also grown as a person in the year he lived in Riverview Quarantine.
Due to various incidents that led to him losing his memories and becoming a child again, Ciel has softened considerably. While he doesn't exactly trust anyone he meets, he's less likely now to consider their usefulness or how he can make them useful to him. This is helped by the fact that he lacks his position as Queen's Guard Dog and no longer needs pawns and informants.
He's also not quite so bent on revenge. It no longer consumes him as it does in canon. That doesn't mean he doesn't want it, he does, but he values other people (at least those he grows to care about) enough now that he isn't willing to go to any and every length to get it.
During his time there, he's also grown more polite after starting two businesses and needing to have a more friendly disposition, but he had also made friends and softened enough to let himself even call them his friends.
Of course, he hasn't completely grown up. Even at fifteen (now), he's still leery of physical contact after all of his trauma's and doesn't make it completely easy to get close to him. When he does though, he'll protect them in any way he can.
