Alois Trancy
"Voiced by Nana Mizuki (JP) and Luci Christian (ENG)"

"They should all die! All of them! Everything, completely annihilated!"

A rather disturbed and unstable boy who made a contract the the demon Claude. Alois is clingy and emotional and in general Ciel's total opposite.


 * Animal Motifs: Apparently the Trancy clan has been long associated with spiders, and Alois himself has had quite a few What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic scenes with spiders and webs. His contract mark even looks a bit like a spiderweb.
 * Creepy Child: Much more so than Ciel.
 * Cute and Psycho: Alois. Throughout the first episode he flips from sweet and innocent to Ax Crazy so many times it could make someone dizzy.
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Deal with the Devil: With Claude.
 * Desperately Craves Affection
 * Foil: For Ciel.
 * I Just Want to Be Loved: An evil variation.
 * Kick the Dog: One of the first things in the anime that Alois does is Talk about bad first impressions.
 * Leitmotif: The Slightly Chipped Full Moon and its variations.
 * No Sense of Personal Space
 * Nouveau Riche: He flaunts his money and doesn't rally seem to care, as seen by the first episode when he tosses bills and bills of money down to his "uncle".
 * Please Don't Leave Me:
 * Rags to Riches: His backstory.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Claude's Blue Oni. Can also be considered the Red Oni to Ciel's Blue Oni.
 * Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: For the whole first episode, he goes from acting completely innocent to downright crazy within a few seconds, and switches back and forth between the two personas. Not to mention how he acts as if he is trying to seduce any male character within five feet of him. Which is, sadly, Truth in Television. Many childhood sexual abuse victims end up acting like this, because their trauma never allowed them to develop healthy ways of interacting with adults.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: His "Booty Shorts" have pretty much reached memetic status by now.
 * Yandere: He appears to be that for Claude. Much of what Alois does can be attributed to him trying to impress Claude.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade A.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Claude's Blue Oni. Can also be considered the Red Oni to Ciel's Blue Oni.

"Passion to calm, hesitation to resolve, love to gravestones. That is the Trancy butler."

The demon who made a contract with Alois and became his butler. Claude is for the most part cold and uncaring, but he does have a hidden passionate side. He appears to be even more evil than Sebastian, with whom Claude develops a rivalry.

A description of the character goes here.


 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: All the guys he seems to like.

 * Badass Long Hair / Badass Longcoat
 * Camp Gay: Though in a previous season it's heavily implied that he was romantically involved with Madam Red...
 * Cheshire Cat Grin: This seems to be a popular trope for the characters of this series, but now Grell can especially fit it, seeing as how he's portraying the Cheshire Cat in the Alice In Wonderland-inspired OVA.
 * Combat Stilettos: He wears women's boots.
 * Depraved Bisexual: He actually did fall in love with Madam Red in the previous season, so he could be considered bisexual.
 * He could be pansexual. It seems he just likes cruel people.
 * Green Eyes: In two concentric rings. The inner ring is green and the outer ring is yellow, since this is the anime.
 * Jerkass Dissonance: Most fans seem to completely ignore his ruthless and sadistic streak and tend to portray him as something completely different.

 * Transgender: The fandom debate is heated and endless.
 * Trans Equals Gay: The source of much confusion and disagreement.
