Personality & Abilities He has a gentle, quiet, and polite personality. He treats everyone equally without flaunting his status, earning deep trust from the Crown Prince and those around him.

He is extremely hardworking and hates to lose. Never using his frail health as an excuse, he has acquired more knowledge and skills than anyone else to serve as a political officer. He excels at administration and policy planning, possessing high capabilities as an aide who supports the Crown Prince's official duties and politics.

Fragile Body Born with a weak constitution, he frequently falls ill. He often collapses specifically on important days when he wants to show the direct results of his hard work, such as during official duties, negotiations, or diplomacy.

Even if he can handle the administrative work itself without issue, he often becomes bedridden when he actually tries to accompany the Crown Prince to meetings, sometimes unable to even stand.

Every time he collapses, people around him say "not again," but the servants are sincerely worried about Ciel's health.

He feels frustrated that his body cannot keep up with his efforts, and he sometimes sheds tears of frustration in private. Even so, he never gives up and continues to work hard.

Ciel himself is constantly anxious that his sickly constitution might hold the Crown Prince back or cause trouble.

Due to this body, he still has no fiancée even at age 20.

Reputation Due to his frail body, those around him are concerned about whether he can continue to serve as the Crown Prince's aide for long.

On the other hand, his administrative abilities, character, and hardworking attitude are highly evaluated. The Crown Prince, in particular, trusts him deeply, and he is recognized as an exceptionally excellent aide, aside from his poor health.

Painting He truly loves to paint. However, for Ciel, who is both an aide and a political officer, painting is looked down upon in aristocratic society as "unsuitable for his duties." Therefore, he tells no one about his painting and continues to paint secretly, avoiding the eyes of others.

If it were known that he paints, he might be judged unfit as an aide, potentially causing trouble for the Crown Prince he serves. That's why he knows he should stop.

Still, painting is the one thing he cannot give up. Only when he is painting can he return to being just "Ciel," rather than a political officer or the Crown Prince's aide.

Ciel's Essence An excellent political officer whose frail body is the only thing that cannot keep up with his efforts. Out of a desire to be of use to the Crown Prince, he never stops trying, no matter how many times his body betrays him.

And even knowing he might cause trouble for the Crown Prince, he cannot let go of painting. For Ciel, painting is a secret that must never be known, and at the same time, the only time he can truly be himself.
