Ciel: The Last Autumn Story/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Characters from Ciel: The Last Autumn Story include:

Yvienne Magnolia

"I don't have anything that I want or like. I don't wanna be anything or protect anything. If I say this to anyone, everyone gets mad, so I don't tell anyone."

Yvienne is a beautiful girl from a small village who was forced to escape to a magical academy after the lord of the manor tried to marry her. Throughout the story, she is trying to find ambition and happiness. Her field's element is the sky; time travel.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Lariatte Kingdiamond

"I want to protect everyone. As much as my power can cover, including you."

Lariatte is the youngest child and only daughter of a family which is proficient in martial arts. She becomes Yvienne's familiar after she saves her from life-threatening situation. Her element of field is the water; dimension travel.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

January Lightsphere

"I must be able to stand alone. I must do everything by myself, no matter what it takes. If I can't do that... I'll die."

January is a gentleman from the Lightsphere family; a family with a dark history and even darker secrets. He meets Yvienne in the train to Newton. His magic is initially unknown, but is eventually revealed to be the power to kill anyone without exception just by speaking their name while inside his field.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Daughter

"Well~ As long as you're my roommate, I won't allow you to see anything harsh."

Daughter is a student (technically) who lives at Lowood despite never attending classes, due to his status as Krohiten's aide. He's lived at Lowood since he was a child. He was born a girl named Nicki Orenturn/Maggotte, and after the murder of his older sister/mother figure, he took part in an experiment to change his sex in exchange for a lifetime of care at the school.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Krohiten

"The more magic changes things, the greater the side effects become. Can you make that decision?"

A professor at the academy. He suffers from 'laziness disease' which forces Daughter to be his aide. His late wife is Carola Everett, Marion Everett's daughter from 300 years ago. He also is the Arc Dragon of the Heavens.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Yujiya Octavia Etnas

"HA! What jealousy? I'm also a teacher here! I have my virtues and pride!"

Another professor at the academy. She has unrequited feelings for Krohiten, despite already being engaged to another man. She is actually the First Princess of the kingdom, and will be queen after she marries.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Tenial II

"Ah ah... boring things are happening."

The presiding king, though it's mostly a figurehead position. He's cold, sinister, and has a peculiar interest in January.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Evil Counterpart: He's basically what January could have become if he let his awful childhood twist him.
  • Evil Redhead
  • Freudian Excuse: Because he was chosen to be the future king back when he was a child, he spent his entire life after that point being surrounded by enemies and watching anyone who tried to help him die.
  • Kick the Dog: There were plenty of hints that the guy was no good, but raping Octavia was how we know he's evil. YMMV on whether or not this counts as his Moral Event Horizon.
    • Another example occurs in volume 14, where he almost makes January kill someone in exchange for pardoning Daughter. January nearly has a mental breakdown, and Tenial just laughs at him.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid

The Earth Dragon

"We shouldn't have given humanity magic power. We shouldn't have taught them language. No, we should have just destroyed the humans when they first appeared on this planet, dammit."

The only Arc Dragon whose name is unknown, the Earth Dragon is one of the most enigmatic figures in the story. He frequently appears before Yvienne and follows her in her rise to fame, keeping his identity secret.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
