チャールズ・フィップス
from Black Butler
Charles Phipps is one of Queen Victoria's Private Secretarial Officers and butlers. He and his counterpart Charles Grey are collectively referred to as "Double Charles." Phipps is a tall young man with short silver hair and a mole on the left side of his chin. Phipps dresses in a white uniform composed of a double-breasted jacket, a black tie, and an arrangement of cords, with two of which wrapped around his torso and one looping over and under his right shoulder. He sports a pin consisting of a bow with a profile view of Queen Victoria hanging on a short chain. One of his two belts supports a rapier on his left-hand side. Phipps is a calm, reserved individual. Phipps is staunchly loyal to Queen Victoria and dutifully carries out his tasks alongside his counterpart Charles Grey, with whom he is frequently paired. Unlike Grey, who readily engages in combat, Phipps tends to refrain from fighting. For example, he merely observed Grey's clash with Mey-Rin instead of participating and, afterward, helped Mey-Rin up after Grey knocked her down. Furthermore, Phipps often takes an objective, pragmatic approach to situations and generally does not entertain unproven suppositions or involve himself in matters that are not of his concern. For instance, while Grey was suspicious of how impossibly quick it took for Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis to send a package from Germany to London, Phipps assumed that Ciel must have utilized his numerous connections in the underground society to accomplish the task. Moreover, Phipps is exceptionally skillful and fast. He is particular about cleanliness and orderliness; on one occasion, he sewed a flower on Finnian's hat to patch it, and insisted that he could do such work because he is a "top-class butler." Later, he made the same comment regarding his ability to play a snake-charming flute. Additionally, Phipps has an aptitude for art; he likes to cook and paint. He is also partial to cute things.
Black Butler
Young Ciel Phantomhive is known as "the Queen's Guard Dog," taking care of the many unsettling events that occur in Victorian England for Her Majesty. Aided by Sebastian Michaelis, his loyal butler with seemingly inhuman abilities, Ciel uses whatever means necessary to get the job done. But is there more to this black-clad butler than meets the eye? In Ciel's past lies a secret tragedy that enveloped him in perennial darkness—during one of his bleakest moments, he formed a contract with Sebastian, a demon, bargaining his soul in exchange for vengeance upon those who wronged him. Today, not only is Sebastian one hell of a butler, but he is also the perfect servant to carry out his master's orders—all the while anticipating the delicious meal he will eventually make of Ciel's soul. As the two work to unravel the mystery behind Ciel's chain of misfortunes, a bond forms between them that neither heaven nor hell can tear apart.
