Ran-Mao (藍猫, Ran Mao; Chinese Pinyin: Lán-Māo) is Lau's personal assassin.

Appearance

Ran-Mao has large, golden eyes and black hair with thick, square bangs. Her hair is arranged in long braids and cat ear-like buns, accompanied by a pink rose and a golden tassel on the left bun. She wears a short, black and lavender cheongsam, that is decorated with dark-pink petals, and a blue jacket over it. Additionally, she dresses in thigh-high tights, black ballet shoes, and gold anklets with bells.

When acting as an assassin, Ran-Mao carries two, broad, ornamental clubs. They are gold, blue, and maroon in color, and each club has a blue tassel on the top. They are composed of a very heavy material, as single swing of them is capable of breaking pavement.^[2]

Personality

Ran-Mao is cold, emotionless, and taciturn, as she hardly ever engages in a conversation. However, she is deeply loyal to Lau, and acts only when instructed to by him. Though she is technically not related to Lau, he claims she is his sister, since she has known him since they were very young.^[3]

Ran-Mao is a bit of a flirt, and usually under Lau's orders, she would attempt to use her sexuality to attract someone's attention. Another time she has triflingly courted an important guest at one of Ciel's parties, and Lau explains her flirtation behavior, saying that she is a "pampered child."^[4]

Manga's Synopsis

Curry Contest Arc

Ran-Mao is sitting on Lau's lap, along with several other women, at Lau's opium den, upon Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis' arrival.^[5]

Later, Lau decides to take Ran-Mao to the curry contest as a treat, which surprises Ciel because of the fact that Lau will have one of his girls in front of his clients. Lau dismisses this and claims that she is his sister, although they are not related by blood.^[6] Throughout the competition, she silently spectates the event, while standing in Lau's arms.^[7]

Afterward, Ran-Mao and Lau approach an upset Harold West and his wife Meena, who are plotting to try another scandalous act. Lau says that while Ciel would not take out the "small fries," he has to exterminate the bad rats infesting his city; thus, he keeps a "cat," referring to her. Ran-Mao demonstrates by swinging one of her clubs on the ground with enough force to crack the cement. Harold and Meena then scream, and they are, implicitly, killed by Ran-Mao.^[8]

Phantomhive Manor Murder Case Arc

When Ciel throws a party, she arrives with Lau and runs into Arthur Wordsmith. She stands quietly while Lau makes small talk with Arthur and when later introduced to Georg von Siemens, she immediately clings to him and presses her breasts into his chest. After the party is over, she runs to Georg's room with the other guest of the party, because of a loud scream that attracts them, and inside, Georg's corpse is found.^[9] After the suggestion of searching rooms, she, Mey-Rin, and Irene Diaz search the females' rooms and belonging. While searching through Irene's trunks, she puts a pair of her undergarments on her head.^[10]

She agrees to be used as a decoy dressed in Ciel's clothing to catch the murderer.^[11] After the murderer is caught, she is shown saying Ciel's clothing is tight on her. Lau comments that should Ciel have died, they would have been in trouble. She agrees, saying she is glad Ciel is safe and hugs him tightly, pressing him to her breasts, which causes Ciel to flail around, begging her to put on some clothing. It is possible she joins the toast to solving the crime.

Ship Voyage Arc

Ran-Mao accompanies Lau when he goes to see Ciel. She is served food along with Lau and she leaves with him when he is done talking to Ciel.^[12]

Houndsworth Arc

After the Jack the Ripper killings and after Ciel’s visit to Houndsworth, Lau approaches him again to help him take a photo of Sebastian with a special camera that reveals what one cares about the most, which Ciel accepts. Lau uses Ran-Mao to distract the dinner guest by using her sexuality, but the display fails to halt Sebastian. When Ciel finally comes up with a successful plan, Lau and Ran-Mao aid by providing the lighting for the photo.

Shard of Hope Arc

Lau and Ran-Mao attempt to aid Ciel again in obtaining the Shard of Hope ring by trying to win the ice sculpture contest. However, their sculpture that shows a provocative, nude Ran-Mao is not well received, except by Aleister Chamber.

Curry Contest Arc

At the curry contest, Meena and the other audience members are heavily affected by the spice curryma, which causes them to go on a rampage. As a result, Meena throws her own husband, Harold West, out of the way when he tries to calm her, and it is not seen what happened to him or what condition he is in. After Sebastian force-feeds Meena and the others the cure to curryma, his curry, she is hospitalized. Ran-Mao is not seen and is not implied to have killed either Harold West or Meena.

Conspiracy and Revenge Arc

Lau and Ran-Mao are initially approached by Ciel with help in the investigation of John Stanley's death. They claim not to know anything, but agree to spread a rumor that Ciel has something important from his corpse. As a result, they get caught up in a conspiracy that frames them and Ciel for the distribution of Lady Blanc opium, despite it being a problem for Lau's own opium dealings.

The Scotland Yard tries to take them down, but Ran-Mao kills and injures them, allowing for them to escape. After a brief dealing where Lau hands control of the East End to another individual, they attempt to leave England on a boat. However, Ciel learns that Lau was actually the one who had Stanley killed, and that he had the documents stolen off of Stanley's corpse. With Sebastian, Ciel attacks the boat Ran-Mao and Lau are trying to escape on.

When they get on it, Sebastian takes down Ran-Mao, and offers to leave the fight with her defeated, but alive. However, she refuses, stating that she will not stop. When Lau moves in to kill Ciel, she prevents Sebastian from going to his aid, and continues to fight until Lau is fatally wounded. He asks her to continue the dream with him, and they jump ship, only to appear in Kuroshitsuji 2.

Trivia

• Ran-Mao's name literally means "blue cat" in Chinese, and Lau refers to her as his cat.^[2]
