Personality[]

McMillan is classified as a student who takes residence the Sapphire Owl dormitory. This indicates his studious and intellectual traits. He has a cheerful and friendly demeanor as he greets Ciel Phantomhive with zeal and subsequently befriends him. He greatly admires the prefects of the school, and wishes to become one in the future.[2]

Often, McMillan plays the role of explaining Weston College's system, and relaying information and said rumors to Ciel. Despite this, he is afraid to meddle with other dormitories' matters and advises Ciel to avoid them as well.[3]

Plot[]

Public School Arc[]

McMillan initially approaches Ciel Phantomhive, clapping him on the back for stepping on the lawn without getting punished. He retrieves the hat he had caused Ciel to drop, introduces himself, and reveals that he is a first-year from the Blue House as well.[4]

Soon after, McMillan explains to Ciel the system of Weston College, and vehemently identifies the prefects with admiration. He then ushers Ciel to class to not be tardy.[5]

Ch68 McMillan and Ciel are having breakfast

Later, McMillan converses with Ciel in the classroom. He is curious about the fact that one of the students, Collett, had left so suddenly, and remarks that it must be difficult for Ciel to enroll at such an odd time. Ciel replies that he was on the waiting list for quite some time and was, thus, glad to make the necessary arrangements for his sudden enrollment.[6]

Abruptly, Clayton, an upper-year, barks out a command to "boy up," and McMillan rushes to form a line, warning Ciel that the last one in line has to do the upper-classmen's chores. However, the latter ends up being the last one anyway.[6]

The next day, McMillan performs morning tasks and attends classes alongside Ciel. At breakfast, he explains to Ciel the tradition of Fag Time after breakfast where the lower years are to aid the upper years with various chores. Ciel then questions him about Derrick Arden, and McMillan informs him that Derrick was transferred from Red House to Purple House; this, apparently, happened under the headmaster's orders. However, he warns Ciel not to meddle with the other dormitories' business as there are intense rivalries between the dorms. Afterward, McMillan departs with his upper year in order to fulfill the Fag Time's requirements.[7]

Later, McMillan notes the difficulty of Ciel's numerous tasks, that are assigned by Clayton, and comments that Ciel is remarkable at accomplishing them. He also tells Ciel that the senior students without Fags are talking about who will pick him; McMillan believes it will be Clayton.[8] Soon after learning that Ciel is invited to the Swan Gazebo, McMillan and a group of students crowd around him excitedly.[9] However the rumor that Ciel has neglected the invitation later circulates around the school, and McMillan observes him from a distance.[10]

Ch70 McMillan offers help

McMillan offers to help Ciel.

At night, McMillan approaches Ciel's bed and apologizes for not being able to support him at school.[11] When he questions Ciel's actions, the latter discloses that he was given the wrong time to come to the Swan Gazebo. Hearing this, McMillan says that he and some other people will testify for Ciel.[12]

On the eve of the cricket tournament, McMillan joins Ciel, Soma, Sebastian, and the Midfords when Alexis is about to tell the story of the Miracle of Sapphires. He is quite thrilled to learn that Ciel's father was a key player in this historical event.[13]

Ch77 Picnic

McMillan picnics with Elizabeth, Soma, Lau, and Ran-Mao.

The next day, McMillan observes the games alongside Elizabeth, Paula, and the Phantomhive servants.[14] He also joins them, Lau, Ran-Mao, and Soma on a picnic.[15]

Later, when Blue House plays against Green House, McMillan is brought out as an assistant. Sebastian hands the task of conducting Sapphire Owl's orchestra to McMillan when he spots the headmaster and chases after him.[16] However, McMillan is unable to take over, and the music stops.[17]

McMillan is overjoyed when Blue House wins the tournament.[18] Afterward, he takes a commemorative photo of all the Blue House cricket team members in their boat parade uniforms.[19]

Following the boat parade, the end of the tournament begins, and during the festivities, McMillan sits with Ciel, Elizabeth, and Soma. And when Cheslock and the Blue House orchestra begin to play, he pushes Ciel to dance with Elizabeth.[20]

When everything is over, McMillan retreats with Ciel and their other roommates to their dormitory. Ciel is surprised to see a cup and a flower on his bed, but McMillan is quick to point out that this is his invitation to the Midnight Tea Party and gets excited for his friend.[21]

Later, after Edgar, Lawrence, Gregory, and Herman are expelled, McMillan gushes over the new P4.[22] However, he is quite sad when Ciel leaves Weston College, but promises to send him the photo he took before the boat parade. McMillan keeps his promise, only for Ciel to instruct Sebastian to destroy the letter and the photograph inside.[23][24]
