Nina Hopkins is an established tailor who owns a tailor shop called Hopkins' Tailor Shop, which is based in London. She is known as "the tailor who announces the seasons." Nina regularly designs and sews Ciel Phantomhive's clothing, particularly for special occasions, such as his coronation. Her family line has outfitted many generations of the Queen's Watchdog. Nina has light-brown eyes and styles her brown hair into a curly ponytail worn on the left side of her head. Suggestive of her position as a tailor, Nina presents herself as a proper and well-dressed woman to polite society. She dons a tight, low-cut, long-sleeved top and a vest sewn with black lace placed over it, as well as a tear-away skirt that reveals shorts underneath—something Elizabeth Midford had remarked on in the past as being "unladylike." Beneath the shorts, she also wears visible garters. In addition, she sports thigh-high boots and accessories, such as a large bow, choker, glasses, and earrings, on a regular basis. Nina is a dramatic, theatrical individual, who is prone to long rants, loud outbursts, and exaggerations; especially when inspired to create clothes, she would burst with excitement and zealously translate her ideas onto paper. She detests being interrupted while outlining her rough drafts, as indicated when she snapped at Sebastian Michaelis after he attempted to provide his opinion. Moreover, if she finds that the outfit she constructed does not the suit the person it is for, she would become exasperated and impulsively rip it apart, even while the person is trying it on, which is what she once did with Ciel Phantomhive. Nina is headstrong, stubborn, and quick to defend her fashion views; for instance, not only did she refuse to reflect on Sebastian's criticism of the color red on Ciel, she reacted to the criticism with hostility, kicking him out of the room and dismissing him as an amateur. Furthermore, Nina exclusively cares for women and boys—but they must be fifteen years of age or younger—a preference she makes no mystery, having confirmed it herself. On two separate occasions, she demonstrated said preference by blatantly ignoring Baldroy and Finnian in favor of paying attention to Mey-Rin, and insultingly calling Sebastian "Mister Hardhead."
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.
