Description
Gregory Violet is a student at Weston College and holds the position of one of the prestigious Prefect Four, also known as the P4, where he serves as the head of the Violet Wolf dormitory, sometimes referred to as the Purple House. His surname is derived from a color, consistent with the naming theme of the other prefects.
In appearance, Gregory is a young man with violet eyes and shoulder-length black hair that features a distinctive white stripe. He favors a dark and somewhat theatrical look, which includes wearing dark eyeshadow and lipstick, as well as having dark-colored fingernails. His typical attire as a prefect consists of a violet waistcoat and a cloak that often covers much of his face. He also wears the Violet Wolf dormitory crest on his person and is frequently seen with a purple dahlia in his breast pocket, with his tie arranged in a loose bow.
Gregory’s personality is defined by a reserved, gloomy, and eccentric disposition. He is a man of few words, rarely speaking at length, and is known to have a strong aversion to bright light, often urging others to move indoors to avoid it. He does not seem to take great pleasure in his responsibilities as a prefect, once remarking that the job is unpleasant because it requires him to suppress any conflicts that arise. Despite his moody and distant exterior, he demonstrates a sharp, observant nature and a hidden playful side, as he enjoys playing pranks on his friends. For instance, he once compelled a fellow prefect, Herman Greenhill, to hold a difficult pose as a model for a sketch, only to not draw him at all.
Within the story of the Public School Arc, Gregory is a key figure of authority whom the protagonist, Ciel Phantomhive, must navigate upon enrolling at Weston College to investigate a disappearance. Gregory is immediately suspicious of Ciel, noting the peculiarity of an earl working as a butler and disclosing that Ciel had previously trespassed near his dormitory, the Purple House. This information piques the curiosity of the other prefects, leading to a subsequent invitation. He is also shown to have a strong reaction to the name of a missing student, Derrick Arden, indicating a personal connection to the central mystery of the arc.
A notable ability of Gregory Violet is his exceptional talent for painting and art. He is considered an artistic genius, and he uses drawing as a personal refuge. He is characterized as a keen observer, frequently drawing his friends and their lives, which suggests he is quietly studying the people and nature around him. Beyond his artistic skill, Gregory also has an unusual hobby of mixing various drinks and substances into his teacup, creating bubbling concoctions that he then consumes.
Regarding his background and personal history, Gregory, like his fellow students, comes from a wealthy family. He has an AB blood type, considered a rare type. According to some sources, his birth date is March 4. His development in the manga extends beyond the initial school setting, as he and the other three prefects eventually leave the academy to form a popular idol group named P4. In later storylines, under the direction of the astrologer Blavat, Gregory is compelled to repeatedly donate blood for a figure known as the Sirius. This leads to severe anemia and physical frailty, causing him to collapse on stage and ultimately require a period of rest and recovery away from performing. In the wake of his departure from the academy, another student from his dormitory, Cheslock, steps in to succeed him as the new prefect of the Violet Wolf house, highlighting Gregory's role as a mentor figure.
