Trancy Manor

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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • 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.
  • Bodyguard Betrayal: He ends up murdered by Claude.
  • 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: His backstory contains life as a poor orphan, the death of his beloved little brother, and sex slavery. Then he met Claude.
  • Dead Little Sister: Brother, actually, and the driving force behind Alois' autophobia.
  • Deal with the Devil: With Claude.
    • And again with Hannah.
  • Desperately Craves Affection
  • Dying Alone: Even more of a Tear Jerker due to the fact that it was Claude, the only person he seemed to care about, who killed him.
  • Foil: For Ciel.
  • Forgiveness: It's implied that he was able to forgive Claude that the latter killed him, as Hannah mentioned that she, Claude, Alois and Luca can all be together in nirvana.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: An evil variation.
  • Kick the Dog: One of the first things in the anime that Alois does is Eye Scream 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: Performed on Claude. Claude still killed him.
  • 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.
  • Sex Slave: Used to be one to the late Earl Trancy.
  • Together in Death: He, Luca, Claude, and Hannah. Somehow.
  • 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.

Claude Faustus

Voiced by Takahiro Sakurai (JP) and Jason Douglas (ENG)

"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.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Hannah Anafellows

Voiced by Aya Hirano (JP) and Caitlin Glass (ENG)

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Absolute Cleavage
  • Ambiguously Brown
  • Barehanded Blade Block: Against a freaking chainsaw, no less. Justified by the fact that she's a demon.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: one of the two reasons she becomes attached to Luka. Hannah notes that he was genuinely excited that she appeared to him to grant his wish and that, upon his death, he was the first soul to have ever expressed gratitude towards her for granting their wish.
  • Benevolent Boss: It is revealed that the triplets actually serve Hannah. When we see them groom her and assist her burning down Luka's and Alois' village in a flashback. In "Spider's Intentions", she is shown treating them gently, placing flowers in their hair, with the triplets seeming quite fond of her preferring her over Claude.
  • Body Horror: In episode 10, she opens her mouth disgustingly wide to give Ciel a look at Alois' eye that she stole, which stares back at him from seemingly an abyss inside her.
  • Clothing Damage: A lot.
  • Dark-Skinned Blond
  • Healing Factor: She grows back her destroyed eye.
  • Love Martyr: It pays off in the end though.
  • Meido
  • Ms. Fanservice: Although to some, with the amount of disturbing things that she becomes involved with, it could be Fan Disservice.
  • Ninja Maid: Comes with the territory as a demon maid.
  • The Reveal: Hannah was the one who made the contract that took Luca's soul, and she came to serve him alongside Claude because she and Luca both wanted to be near Alois.
  • Treasure Chest Cavity: She can store things inside herself, including swords and other people's eyeballs. These can be accessed through her body orifices.
  • Trouser Space: From which she pulls out a rather large machine gun.
  • What Is This Thing You Call Love?: Hannah was a typical, uncaring demon until she was summoned by Luca. His naivety and selfless reason for selling his soul shook her immensely, to the point where she became Alois's servant just to be close to him for Luca's soul.
  • Your Soul Is Mine: In the end, she ends up with Luca and Alois's souls. They're pleased.
