chainsawmascaraCharacter Name: Grelle Sutcliff
Series: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Age: Looks mid-twenties, but is a Grim Reaper, so probably much older.
Job: Butler in charge of maintaining the faily functioning of camp
Canon: 12-year-old Ciel is working as the Watchdog of the Queen: he investigates the crimes committed by the seedy underbelly of society and bring these cases to a close. It's a heavy task for a small boy, even if he's doing it with the intent of smoking out the people who killed his family. Fortunately, Ciel is assisted in his goals by his handsome demon butler Sebastian, who protects and aids him for the low, low cost of Ciel's soul. Now, Sebastian may be a strong supernatural ally, but Ciel's got his share of supernatural enemies as well -- including one Grelle Sutcliff. Grelle first appears to be a hopeless, shy, mousy man; although he serves Ciel's aunt, Madam Red, as a butler, he's completely incompetent at even the most basic tasks. But it is soon revealed that Grelle is actually half of the pair known as Jack the Ripper (Madam Red being the other), and, on top of that, she's also a male-to-female transgender Grim Reaper whose aesthetic is more 'heavy metal' than 'hapless manservant'. Grelle's only too happy to murder alongside Madam Red, whom she claims to love — but ultimately doesn't hesitate to off her either. After all, Madam Red couldn't kill her own nephew, and, pfff, a woman who won't kill someone? How disappointing~.
Flamboyant, gleeful, and dramatic, Grelle views herself as the leading lady in a violent play. With a "do it for the lulz" attitude, she's over-the-top and in your face about everything. And that is everything: She speaks loudly and melodramatically, her tone anywhere from teasing to mocking, but almost always amused. Her Death Scythe takes the form of a chainsaw, and she'll use it whether or not you're on the Reapers' death list. Although she identifies female and will repeatedly inform you as much, she's quite obviously male-bodied and doesn't attempt to hide this in the slightest (though naturally she wears makeup; she's very fussy about her appearance). And, of course, there's her extreme taste for killer chicks and violent boys. What can I say? She wants a bad romance.

How wonderful to be invited to your death camp for a job interview, my dear Miss Sayre! Even the name of the place has got an alluring ring to it. You'll pardon me if I don't repeat it; a lady of my quality doesn't use such terms. But it certainly hammers home how you really want all the campers to just die. I do question your choice of locations: the smell's one thing, the muck's another, and the humidity's doing terrible things to my hair. Limp! Totally limp! I could cry! But I can't expect perfection from humanity, and this place is interesting enough that I'm willing to make a personal sacrifice or two.
Of course, you must be suspicious, given how eagerly I've taken up your invitation. Don't worry, don't worry at all. I'm here because of my, mmm, personal interests, not because of orders from management. Sure, your camp's drawn some attention back at the office, what with the overall lack of lasting death — it's hard for those working this area to meet collection quota, since you just keep recycling souls over and over, you know? But I'm not here as Dispatch Officer Grelle today. I'm simply your lovely Grelle, here to lend you a helping hand~♥. And I'm already positively bursting with ideas for managing this place! You've got the start of a good thing here, with your hundreds of trapped, beautiful young men and women. The sense of danger's pretty good — even if they did die there's no escape from the situation. But is it enough? Let's spice things up a bit! Why not give those moogles a day off without warning? Then I can give the campers something to really fear. Boys and girls in the blossom of their youth are best complimented with beautiful roses; let's make them bloom all over with red!
And there's more than just children here. There are other counselors such as myself, some of whom may stand beside me, and others who will surely step in to protect their charges. Won't that be wonderful? The drama of the situation! And they're all so good-looking~. I'd love to go with them one-on-one all night long, until an end is reached and I can send them straight to Heaven! Ec~sta~cy! Miss Sayre, you'll support me in such a fight, right? I've heard only good things about your search for vengeance. Any woman who'd put so many people in danger like this is a woman to admire. You and I are alike, aren't we? You won't pine for your unreachable love. No, no cliché drama like that; you're out for blood. I'm on your side, of course. Girls like us have to stick together.
But then, I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? Hahaha~. You haven't even hired me yet and here I am, already making plans for our future. I suppose that pleasure must wait until we've finished our business! Now, the position you wished to hire me for was that of the butler? Excellent, I have experience in the matter. I've spent quite some time "in charge of maintaining the faily —"
...That was a typo, wasn't it? You meant the daily functioning of camp, I'm sure. Well, there's no helping it! The two letters are so close together. I mean, you would hardly take the previous conditions I worked under to be representative of my actual ability. It was a job requirement, that's all — and I suffered for it, you realize! A drab, depressing appearance, a meek personality, an inability to handle the barest of tasks... these were my cross to bear in the name of hiding my true talent. My failures only demonstrate the true extent of my skill. I am an actress! What you require of me as your butler, I'm quite sure I can fulfill. Well — almost anything. I've never quite managed a good cup of tea.
But even so, I'm a butler to die for!

- More exclamatory statements.
- Otherwise keeping interjections to the sort of "Ara, maa" and "mou" types where I can.
I'm still getting used to the voice but let me know if this is the angle that you think I should be taking or if it's still not right o/
