Character OutlineEdit

Paula has pale skin and dark brown eyes. She has her long brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. Ordinarily, she wears a burgundy dress with a white apron atop; in public, she dons on a brown coat, a black hat, and gloves.

Paula is notable for being easygoing and carefree. Elizabeth describes her as someone who is always happy, radiant, and never worries; these traits make her envious of Paula.^[1] She takes the role of Elizabeth's maid and confidante, and she works hard to keep Elizabeth happy. She is extremely loyal to her and thinks highly of Ciel Phantomhive, expressing approval for their engagement, as she finds them to be "utterly adorable."^{[citation needed]}

Manga's SynopsisEdit

Ship Voyage ArcEdit

In Elizabeth’s flashback, it is shown that Paula was the one who told Elizabeth about the Phantomhives’ deaths. After Ciel returns, Elizabeth shows her new heeled shoes to Paula. The latter then helps Elizabeth get dressed and notices that she has grown taller. Elizabeth is upset with that and Paula immediately reassures that she is still very cute. However, Elizabeth refuses to wear her new shoes, opting instead for flats.^[2]

Anime's SynopsisEdit

Shard of HopeEdit

This unreferenced section requires citations to ensure verifiability.

With Ciel's birthday coming up, she accompanies Elizabeth to the Frost Fair, in an attempt to find him a good gift. She finds bells, which she finds cute, but Elizabeth dismisses them. Elizabeth ends up purchasing a Noah's Ark toy from a shady dealer, who tells the customers that it is an original from Ciel's Funtom Company, only three of which were made.

However, back at the Midford manor, Elizabeth's father identifies it as a fake, causing her to break it in rage. Paula tries to cheer her up, but is dismissed. However, inside the ark, Elizabeth finds the Shard of Hope ring, which she decides will be Ciel's present.

The day before Ciel's birthday, Paula and Elizabeth go to the Phantomhive manor. However, Elizabeth notes that the ring she broke earlier is fixed, takes the present back, and the two leave as quickly as they arrived. On their way back, they get stuck in traffic, and while Paula is looking out the window, Elizabeth takes off. Paula tries to find her, but cannot, so she calls the Phantomhive house and informs Sebastian Michaelis that Elizabeth is missing.

After Elizabeth has been found, on the morning of Ciel's birthday, Paula is seen celebrating his birthday with Elizabeth and the Phantomhive household, using her bells to bring cheer to them.

Conspiracy and RevengeEdit

This unreferenced section requires citations to ensure verifiability.

After Ciel's revenge has been enacted, she is seen telling Elizabeth that the London fire has been put out, but that she has no news of the Phantomhive household. She makes Elizabeth a ring out of a dark blue flower in an attempt to cheer her up.

TriviaEdit
