“I am Ciel Phantomhive. That is my one and only name.”

1. Ciel’s favourite animals are dogs and horses. He also likes cats, though he’s allergic to them

   

2. However, Ciel has said that his allergy is irrelevant to the fact that cats aren’t allowed in the mansion. This is because he wouldn’t allow something to happen that would make Sebastian happy

   

3. Ciel is a very intellectually gifted child. His best subject is French, which he’s fluent in

   

4. Because of his deal with Sebastian and hence the eye-patch, Ciel has problems with his depth perception
