Kuroshitsuji: Madam Red and Grell Sutcliff

"Madam Red" is a title given to Angelina Durless who is well known for her red appearance and clothing. She at first, hated her red hair that she inherited from her father, until Ciel's father, Lord Phantomhive said he liked it.

Sadly, Lord Phantomhive chose to marry Angelina's sister. She married someone else and was content for a while until a tragic accident took away her husband and her unborn child. She could no longer conceive because they had to remove her womb to save her life. Much to her distress, she was a doctor who often performed abortions on prostitutes who find children to be "troublesome".

Her tragedy led to her demise as she began murdering her own patients for their lack of appreciation for human life. That was when Grell Sutcliff, a cross-dressing shinigami (death god), met her and together they became known as "Jack the Ripper".

I feel sorry for Madam Red, although I am equally disturbed at how infatuated Grell is with Sebastian. I found this picture in Asian Cosplay, and they have a ton of really good cosplay pictures! Go and visit their site when you have the chance. :D

Madam Red is cosplayed by Manori. Good job!

Kuroshitsuji: Doll

The beautiful and enigmatic tightrope walker, Doll is among the First Tier performers of the Noah's Ark Circus. Although the First Tier have special tents set up for them, she pretends to be a new male member known as "Sobakasu" or Freckles, as she doesn't like sleeping alone. She later attempts to take Ciel's life for killing her circus family, but fails to do so thanks to Sebastian. Her fate after that is left undetermined.

Cosplayer ClamWings makes a beautiful Doll! I love all the details in her costume. Thanks to Itoshi for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis 05

When Ciel's cousin and fiancee, Elizabeth Middleford visits the Phantomhive Estate, she asks Ciel to dance with her, much to his annoyance. Sebastian then convinced his young master to learn a simple Waltz in order to preserve his social reputation. Things do not go well as Ciel chose to wear the Phantomhive Family Ring in favor of the one Elizabeth bought for him, which made her upset. She broke his ring and was almost hit by Ciel until Sebastian stopped him and explained to Elizabeth the cause of Ciel's anger. Ciel threw out the broken ring, stating that he is the head of the Phantomhive Household with or without it. Sebastian played the violin as the two danced and made amends.

Although Ciel was able to successfully hide his depression, Sebastian saw right through his young master and reprimanded him that evening. He then produced the Phantomhive Family ring, undamaged, stating that it would only be natural for the servant of the Phantomhive to achieve this.

Stunning cosplay by ~istriazel! I loved how Sebastian played the violin in that episode, although it seems impossible to play the violin with gloves. Then again, Sebastian isn't exactly human. Thanks also to ~Kyrille for the wonderful photography!

Kuroshitsuji: Drocell Cainz 03

The Mandalay Family's Puppeteer, Drocell Cainz initially appeared to be a cruel man with sadistic tendencies. Grell Sutcliff later reveals that the real Drocell has his soul seized by the shinigami five years prior to his appearance in the series, thereby indicating that he was already dead. His body was somehow reanimated with a temporary soul, manipulated by the fallen angel, Angela.

Stunning cosplay by Senri Kurenai! It's simple yet captivating, with a look that so much like the original character himself. Thanks to Timothy for suggesting this!

Kuroshitsuji: Ciel Phantomhive 06

After his parents were murdered, Ciel Phantomhive become a slave and a sacrifice for a religious cult ritual. While he was being tortured, however, his hatred grew for the people who took away his parents and freedom, summoning a demon Ciel named Sebastian Michaelis. It was then that Ciel sold his soul to the devil in order to gain the power to fulfill his revenge.

Gorgeous cosplay! Even if the hair is white instead of gray, I think it's a minor error which can be overlooked. Originally found on Tumblr.

Kuroshitsuji: Sebastian Michaelis 10

In recent chapters of the manga as well as the second season of the anime, it was revealed that Sebastian Michaelis wasn't always the perfect butler that everyone knew. In fact, he and his master, Ciel Phantomhive, often got on each other's nerves during the first few days (or perhaps even weeks) of Ciel's return as the head of the Phantomhive household. In the end, they managed to sort out their differences and "compromised" to some extent.

That is just so awesome! The angle of the shot, the expression on the cosplayer's face, and the hand gesture looks so in-character! Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Ciel “Robin” Phantomhive 02

Source: Crunchyroll

When Ciel and Sebastian went undercover to pursue the Viscount of Druitt, they didn't realize that Ciel's fianc , Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford would also be attending the summer ball. As the pair tried their best avoid Lizzy, Ciel's (or rather "Robin's")beautiful dress caught her eye. Lizzy tried to catch up to Ciel but was distracted by Sebastian's quick-change, pretending to be a magician as the ball's entertainer.

Ciel's attractive features and small frame does let him pass as a girl, but I suppose the proper term for this would be a "trap"! Thanks again to Jenny for sending this in!
