[edit] Plot Oz Vessalius, heir to one of the duke houses, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however, everything changes. For no reason that he can discern, he's cast into the prison known as the "Abyss", only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the bloodstained black rabbit. The mystery there begins as Oz unravels the mystery behind Alice, the Abyss and the strange organization known as Pandora. The series features heavy references to Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and can be considered both fantasy and mystery.

[edit] Terminology Chains (チェイン Chein?) Beings from the Abyss. They must sign a contract with a human contractor in order to leave the Abyss. Chains involved in illegal contracts must repeatedly consume humans to gain power. Contract (契約 Keiyaku?) An agreement between a chain and a contractor. The chain is bound within the contractor and can be called out at will. In return, the contractor provides passage for the chain out of the Abyss. Legal contracts that were made possible by Pandora have been granted the ability to never age to the Contractor. In illegal contracts, a clock-like seal appears on the contractor's chest, over their heart. Each time the chain's powers are drawn, the hand in the seal moves like on a clock. Once the hand makes one full rotation, both the contractor and the chain are dragged into the deepest level of the Abyss. Contractor (契約者 Keiyakusha?) A human who makes a contract with a chain. There are certain procedures to making a contract, but impromptu contracts can also be made, although they are illegal. Abyss (アヴィス Avisu?) The world that chains come from. It exists in a different dimension as the world, and as thus, time doesn't truly exist in the Abyss. A person can find themselves in any random time period upon exiting the Abyss. According to Break, the Abyss can appear as a prison or a broken toy box, depending on the person. Intention of the Abyss (アヴィスの意志 Avisu no Ishi?) The existence that governs the Abyss. Usually appears in the form of a bloodied rabbit doll with big round eyes. The real form of the Intention of the Abyss is Alice with white hair and a crazed expression. Apparently the Intention of the Abyss wants Oz and Alice to go back in the Abyss. The Intention of the Abyss and Alice are somehow connected. At the same time, the Intention of Abyss is born in the Abyss, while Alice was born in the human world; they are somehow solely connected. Four Great Duke Houses (四大公爵家 Yondai Koushaku Ke?) It currently consists of the Vessalius, Rainsworth, Nightray and Barma family. These four houses have been in existence before the Tragedy of Sabrié. They founded the Pandora and each hold chains and a door to the Abyss. Of these four houses, the Vessalius and Nightray houses are thought of as exact opposites, like light and dark: the Vessalius house works publicly, while the Nightray house is responsible for doing the backstage work. Before the Tragedy of Sabrié occurred, the Vessalius family was only a third class noble family, and thus, not part of the four duke houses. Instead, the fourth house was the Baskerville house - with Glen as the head. When Jack killed Glen for starting the Tragedy of Sabrié, the Vessalius family were seen as heros. And thus, the Vessalius substitute the Baskervilles, as the fourth duke house. Therefore, the Baskervilles holds the fifth door to the abyss.

Pandora (パンドラ Pandora?) An organization founded by the four duke houses. It specializes in research regarding the Abyss. Tragedy of Sabrié (サブリエの悲劇 Saburie no Higeki?) The city of Sabrié was once the capital city of the world. However, 100 years ago, for unknown reasons, Glen Baskerville used a ritual to send the entire city, with its citizens, into the Abyss. Glen was then supposedly killed by the four duke houses. Doors Doors are gates to the Abyss that the four duke houses control. Each house has control over one, with Baskerville holding the last, fifth Door.

[edit] Characters [edit] Vessalius Household Oz Vessalius (オズ ベザリウス Ozu Bezariusu?)

The main character of the story. A 15 years old boy with blond hair and green eyes from the prestigious Vessalius family, whose father is the reigning lord. His mother was killed by the Nightray family, but despite this, he retains a bright, optimistic, and energetic personality. The story of Pandora Hearts starts when Oz turns fifteen. During the ceremony to celebrate this reaching of adulthood, he was dragged into the Abyss for the sin of 'existing'. There he meets the chain named Alice and makes a contract with her. Upon returning to the real world, he finds out that 10 years have passed. In order to find out what his sin meant, he began to work under Break as part of Pandora. During this, it is shown that when he was young, he worked hard to gain praise and recognition from his father. However, he had discovered that his father hated him to the point of not wanting to touch him. After experiencing this, Oz began to think that there is no guaranteed thing in the world. He thought of himself as weak and, in order to protect people, he should at least remain an obedient child and let harm come his way. After traveling into the Cheshire Cat's realm, Oz meets Jack Vessalius and in turn becomes his 'medium'. Jack eventually speaks at Pandora's headquarters and the public hail Oz as a 'hero'. Oz finds that he can swap consciences with Jack if he calls hard enough and may sometimes even see snippets of Jack's memories. According to himself he is quite skilled with the sword, particularly in self defense. However, he has no real experience in fighting. Oz likes cute, younger girls and flirts with them frequently. He once wished to marry Shalon when they first met. As the story progresses, he starts to develop feelings towards Alice. In

chapter 20, Oz called her "my most precious Alice", but it is not known if these feelings are sincerely his or Jack's since he resides in his body. Jack tells Oz that has the "right" or "perquisite" over Alice's power and that a seal won't restrain Alice's powers any longer, making Oz have the ability to use BRabbit's power even without Alice's permission or Gil's help. Oz proves it when he was able to stop Alice's B-Rabbit's power temporarily on his own; another time when Oz was almost kidnapped by the Baskervilles at Latowidge, and then recently when he was able to summon B-Rabbit's scythe to fluently fight his assailants inside Sabrié's illusion, despite the fact he had never used a scythe before. (He doesn't seem to notice this though). Oz's Seiyū is Junko Minagawa. Alice (アリス Arisu?)

The heroine of the story with the height of 150cm. Alice first appears as a chain that persuades Oz to form a contract with her in the Abyss. In fact, she is actually the infamous B-Rabbit (Bloodstained Black Rabbit), the strongest chain in the Abyss. Alice's goal is to find her lost memories, which play a major role in the story. In human form, Alice has long dark brown hair with 2 side plaits. She has a huge appetite and loves meat especially. She is hotheaded, loud spoken and says what she thinks without regard to the consequence. Despite this, she has a soft side, especially when Oz is involved. She hates when Oz leaves her alone, but to hide it she usually says, "I'm in a contract with you. You are my manservant, and as a manservant, what were you thinking, leaving me behind!?" or she just hits Oz and says, "Shut up". Through the series her jealousy hints she has developed feelings for Oz. It has been revealed that Alice was actually a human girl killed 100 years ago during the Tragedy of Sabrié. The Cheshire Cat reveals that Alice scattered her memories on purpose. Alice and the Intention of the Abyss are somehow spiritually connected. While Alice has dark hair and takes to a black rabbit form, the Intention of the Abyss looks similar to Alice save for the white hair, white dress, and the white rabbit. She uses the white rabbit to represent herself in the early chapters, stating that Oz will pay for selecting the black rabbit over her. According to Jack Vessalius's diary, Alice looked like a normal girl but was kept in a tower by Glen Baskerville. Initially, Jack did not understand why Alice was imprisoned until he noticed something odd about her. Her cat (Cheshire) had various attitudes towards Alice from time to time; once it would stay in Alice's lap and another time it would not go near her and would even hiss at her. Eventually, Jack and Alice's conversation would not connect and her answers would always be different. Even her personalities (i.e. favorite book and favorite color) changed many times. One day, Jack confirmed his suspicion by asking Alice who she was, since the current "Alice" wasn't the Alice he knew. "Alice" admitted this but

stated that she and "that brat" were still "Alice" and that their "souls" are linked. Jack then concluded that Alice and the Intention of Abyss were born at the same time in the human world and Abyss and that they are twins. Recently, Oz brought both Alice and Gilbert to Sabrié in order to find more about Alice's memory. They were later trapped inside an illusion made from the town's memory, and the three were separated into their own respective memories. In her memory, Alice found out about the grave that appeared in the beginning of the story, and to whom it belongs to; Lacie. A Jack who was in the memory explained to a young Alice that Lacie was Glenn's important person but got sacrificed to the Abyss. A pocket watch was then made by Jack and Glen created its tune based on a song Lacie would always sing to herself, entitled "Lacie". Alice's Seiyū are Yukari Tamura (Drama CD) and Kawasumi Ayako (Anime). Jack Vessalius (ジャック ベザリウス Jakku Bezariusu?) The hero of 100 years ago and the one who 'defeated' Glen Baskerville. He is revealed to have some sort of connection with Alice's memories and Raven's past. Jack looks uncannily like a grown-up Oz with a long plait. His personality is also quite similar; he does things at his own pace and is loud and cheerful. Oz and Gilbert meet him when they are taken to the Cheshire Cat's dimension. He is currently residing in Oz's body and can 'possess' Oz and speak through him. When in control, Jack also has full control of Alice's chain power. It is also hinted that he may have feelings for Alice. Jack was the third son of the Vessalius family who was, before the Tragedy of Sabrié, a third rate noble family. Thus, with no expectations from his family, he acted quite freely: always smiling, joking and flirting with girls. Jack was also a self-proclaimed music box maker. His best friend at that time was Glen Baskerville. Jack crafted a pocket watch for him and Glen wrote the melody, titled "Lacie". The pocket watch's melody was said to be a song that Lacie always sang to herself. Later, Jack killed Glen because he started the Tragedy of Sabrié and tried to kill Jack. Although hailed as a hero for this act, Jack did not want to kill his best friend. In a later entry in Jack Vessalius's diary, he wrote: "I have killed my best friend. Please... Please do not call me a hero." He also shows true anger when Lotti suggested that he killed Glen to gain fame and glory. Jack reveals, through his speech when he first possesses Oz, that Glen is still living. Despite this, he says to the Baskervilles that if they wish to repeat the past, then he will once again turn his body into a blade that will destroy the Death Gods. Recent chapters showed that Jack was Gilbert and Vincent's master. He had picked the brothers from the streets and allowed them to become his servants. Later, when Jack confronted Glenn, it shown that Gil had stepped in and saved Jack from mortal danger, which resulted with Gil's death. This event made Jack guilt-stricken, and he deemed himself a failure in protecting Gilbert. He hopes that Gil will stick with his current master (Oz), but he still thanks Gilbert for calling him "Master" despite of what he had done. Jack's Seiyū is Ono Daisuke. Oscar (オスカー Osukā?) Oz's uncle. He is easy-going and very caring. Oscar was the one who found Gilbert and brought him to the Vessalius household. Both Oz and Raven treat him

as a father figure. He gets along well with Break. When he received a letter from Ada (in which she stated that she had found someone who she likes), he took Oz, Gilbert and Alice to Latowidge. They dressed as students and teachers, and snuck into the school. Oscar's Seiyū is Hideyuki Umezu. Ada (エイダ Eida?) Oz's little sister who adores him very much. After 10 years she attends Latowidge (ラトウィッジ), a prestigious school for nobles, of which she is a prefect. She keeps in contact with Oscar via letter and causes Oz and co. to sneak into Latowidge as she wrote that she has found a person she likes. It is revealed that she was the one who gave Raven his hat. It is hinted that she likes Raven, but in the later chapters she is seen on a date with Vincent. She has a cat named Dinah and later two cats (a black and a white one). The white one was named Snowdrop. Ada's Seiyū is Kaori Fukuhara.

[edit] Nightray Household Gilbert Nightray (ギルバート ナイトレイ Girubāto Naitorei?)

Oz's friend and loyal servant. To him, Oz is his most precious person and is willing to sacrifice anything for him. He was taken into the Vessalius family after being discovered in an injured state 15 years ago. He was invited by Oz to attend the coming of age ceremony as his friend. During the ceremony, he was controlled by a chain in the Baskerville's possession and made to attack Oz. After regaining consciousness, Gilbert manages to see the face of one of the hooded people and for some reason jumps in the way of Oz's attack to protect him. He goes on to become Raven (鴉 Reibun?) and appears as a member of Pandora who retrieves Oz after he escaped from the Abyss. Oz later discovers Raven's true identity. After the ceremony 10 years ago, he was adopted by the Nightray family, who earlier adopted his younger brother Vincent, and thus feels that he betrayed Oz as they were the prime suspects in the assassination of Oz's mother. He had no memory of Vincent before they met at the Nightrays. In hopes to eventually rescue Oz from the Abyss, Gilbert trained hard in gunmanship and even killed to tame the Nightray family's chain 'Raven'. He uses its power to somewhat control the B-rabbit through Oz, preventing side effects like the clock hand moving. After 10 years, he still hates cats and is a wonderful cook. After drinking alcohol he reverts back to his 'Gilbert' self: insecure cry-baby. He is from 100 years ago and used to serve Jack, but he was kill by Glen while trying to protect Jack, and his brother Vincent open the path to Abyss in order to save him.

Gilbert's Seiyū is Azuma Sakamoto (younger) and Katsuyuki Konishi (CD drama) and Toriumi Kousuke (Anime) (older). Vincent Nightray (ヴィンセント ナイトレイ Vinsento Naitorei?) Vincent is Gilbert's younger brother by one year. As the Vessalius family found Gilbert, the Nightray family similarly adopted Vincent. His left eye is golden like Gilbert's, but his right eye is wine-red and his long hair is golden in color. He loves his brother Gilbert to the point of slight obsession. He has an easy-going personality on the outside and is often seen smiling. However, it is shown that Vincent also has a dark, unstable side. He has a habit of carrying around scissors and cutting up stuffed animals with them. Break is often at odds with him, which is fueled by Vincent sending Echo to attack Shalon. Vincent is from 100 years ago and he was the one that open the path to Abyss in order to save Gil who was kill by Glen. He was also fond of Jack whom he used to call Master, just like Gil. In Alice's memory, a young Vincent is seen walking among corpses, gouging out eyes and intestines with a pair of scissors saying that "it's not his fault", because he was doing this to save his brother so it wasn't his fault according to him. He is also shown to be in alliance with the Baskervilles. It was him who called Zwei out from Echo, telling Echo that she is not required anymore, but to release her other personality out. In recent chapters he's seen on a date with Oz's sister, Ada. Vincent's Seiyū is Jun Fukuyama (older) and Fuyuka Ōura (younger). Echo (エコー Ekõ?) Vincent's personal servant. She is somewhat emotionless, like a puppet, and treats Vincent's word as law. Oz calls her "Echo-chan". Echo fights with blades that come out of her long sleeves. It may seem that Vincent treasures her, but he actually does not care that much. In Chapter 23, he goes as far as to poison her to prove that the antidote for the poison that he poisoned Shalon with works. Echo is shown to have her own mind when she saves the bottle of antidote that Vincent almost drops off the veranda, because she remember what Oz said the first time they meet. She seems to developed feelings for Oz after both of them go to the festival together and Oz shows her what it is like to have fun, he also gives her a hair ornament which he was suppose to give to the girl he like, although he didn't knew that. In recent chapters she's known to have another personality called Noise, who is actually Zwei. Noise deeply loves Vincent and, according to herself, is the original personality inside Echo's body. She (Zwei) controls a chain called Duldum that can control other people or immobilize them using strings. Zwei used her chain to immobilize Gilbert, and also used it within Echo to capture Shalon. With Zwei in possession of the body, she rejoins the Baskerville group and goes to Sabrie, where she meets Elliot. Echo's Seiyū is Ryō Hirohashi. Eliot Nightray (エリオット ナイトレイ Eriotto Naitorei?) A student at Latowidge that, along with Reo, catches Oz's attention as they can play the tune from his pocket watch. He first meets Oz in the Latowidge library where they get into a fight over a character in the novel series "Holy Knight" (Eliot spoils the ending for Oz's favorite character, Edgar). He also doesn't like Ada calling his name and despises how the Vessalius seem to get away with

anything just because they were heroes 100 years ago. Ada, however, thinks he is a nice and dependable person deep down. He is the legitimate heir of the Nightray family and consequently the brother of the adopted Vincent and Gilbert. He is adept with the sword and keeps a blade with his family crest in a violin case. Eliot has a strong sense of right and wrong and tends to say things without consideration to the other party. It is through this straightforwardness, however, that Oz finally overcomes the shadows of his past. He has said that the tune he and Leo were playing was composed by him and is called "Lacie", implying a strong connection between him and Glen Baskerville. He is also shown to suffer from nightmares, though it's unclear if they are nightmares or precognitions. Eliot meets Oz and co. at Sabrié in chapter 25. He takes them into the Nightray's orphanage at Sabrié, where Oz meets Phillipe. It is implied that Vincent had told him something regarding Raven, upon his return to the Vessalius family, which fuels his hate for Oz. Reo (リーオ Rĩo?) A boy with dark messy hair and round glasses. He is a student at Latowidge and serves Eliot. He has a calm and collected demeanor and is hardly rattled by anything. Reo is very observant and discovered Oz's identity as an intruder. Despite being Eliot's servant, he doesn't always take his side and will make him apologize if needs be. He is seen with Eliot at Sabrié. Reo carries a gun and is apparently hopeless with it (and swords, according to Eliot).

[edit] Rainsworth Household Shalon Rainsworth (シャロン レインズワース Sharon Reinzuwāsu?)

The Lady of the Rainsworth household. Shalon is a member of Pandora and looks like a thirteen year old girl. Her appearance does not change from her first meeting with Oz to after he came out of the Abyss because she has a legal contract with a chain, the black unicorn Eques. Shalon and Break have a close relationship. She was the one that discovered Break in a fatal condition after he came out of the Abyss. When she was young, she used to call Break 'Xarks-nii', as he was like a big brother to her. She wants to be of use to him. She also looks a lot like her mother, Shelly Rainsworth. Shalon's Seiyū are Yui Horie (Drama CD) and Hanazawa Kana (Anime). Xerxes Break (ザークシーズ ブレイク Zākushĩzu Bureiku?)

Commonly known as Break, he is a member of Pandora and a servant of the Rainsworth household. Break's appearance does not change from the ten year gap between Oz entering and leaving the Abyss. He has a legal contract with the Mad Hatter. Break is often seen with a doll on his shoulder, which he calls Emily. He adores sweets and cakes. From the outside, Break seems like a carefree character, never serious and always smiling. When needs be, however, Break shows his dangerous and evil side. Reim tells Oz that Break has not always been the way he is now. Before, after losing his eye, he was a bitter and angry person, never smiling. However, through the kindness of Shelly, Shalon's mother, he began to open up. He has sworn absolute loyalty to Shelly. Break has no left eye. He reveals that the Intention of the Abyss took it from him and that the Cheshire has it. Break's true motive is to find the truth behind what happened 100 years ago. He hates Vincent with a passion. It was revealed by Rufus Barma in chapter 29 that his real name is Kevin Regnard. Break was originally a knight who served under the noble family Sinclair until they were mysteriously massacred for political reasons. His lord was killed during the incident while Kevin and the daughter of the lord were out. Kevin blamed himself for his carelessness, and became an illegal contractor to try to change the past. When his clock made a full revolution, he was pulled into Abyss where he met the Intention of the Abyss and a young Vincent. The Intention of the Abyss once changed the past for Break. In return, Break was asked to fulfilled her wish, which is still unknown. Break then was sent to the Rainsworth house over 30 years later. The changed past wasn't really what Break wanted. The Sinclair family was still murdered. According to Shelly, the oldest daughter of the house was assassinated, which led the younger daughter to become an illegal contractor and got sent to Abyss after her Chain murdered the entire family. The political massacre did not happen and Kevin's lord lived for 4 years longer, but instead, the little girl who originally survived the incident died. Break blames himself for that. For one moment he also blamed the Intention of the Abyss, but he realizes that he was the one who asked for the past to be changed, and in reality, he really just wanted to erase his own guilt. Break's Seiyū are Toshihiko Seki (Drama CD) and Ishida Akira (Anime).

[edit] Barma Household Rufus Barma (ルーファス バルマ Ruufasu Baruma?) The last of the four dukes. Rufus is known as the longest living duke and is a very knowledgeable person. He holds information on almost all topics and even knows

people's personalities and is thus able to predict their reactions. He absolutely detests people changing without him knowing as then he would not have the most updated information. Oz and co. approach Rufus to seek information about the Tragedy of Sabrié. Rufus first appears as a round man with a big mustache wearing a big teacup shaped hat. Later, after getting destroyed by Break, it is revealed that the real Rufus created that illusion. The real Rufus has long red hair, tired looking eyes and speaks in olden-day Japanese. He was sought by Oz in order to learn more about the Tragedy of Sabrié, but instead, they learned about Break's past. Cheryl Rainsworth, Shalon's grandmother, is a childhood friend of Rufus and he seems to fear her.

[edit] Residents of Baskerville Glen Baskerville (グレン バスカヴィル Guren Basukaviru?) Glen was the head of the Baskerville family 100 years ago. According to Lotti, Glen gave the impression that he liked being alone and was difficult to approach. Contrary to her beliefs, he was best friends with the loud Jack Vessalius and even told him about a secret passage so that he could sneak into the Baskerville house. Jack and Glen made a musical pocket watch together. Glen wrote the melody for it while Jack crafted it. The piece he wrote is called "Lacie". One day he suddenly ordered his subordinates to kill everyone in the castle of Sabrié, the incident later known as the "Tragedy of Sabrié". He was killed by Jack but, according to Jack, Glen is still alive. He controls a chain called Jabberwock which looks like the jabberwocky from Through the Looking-Glass. It was then revealed in one of Alice's memories that Glen made the pocket watch in the memories of Lacie, a precious person to Glen. The pocketwatch's melody was named after and used to be sung by Lacie. (Lacie is possibly an anagram of "Alice".) Lotti (ロッティ Rottĩ?) A bubbly girl with pink hair that kidnaps Oz at Latowidge. She was a participant in the Tragedy of Sabrié and killed many under orders. She served the Baskerville house and had feelings for Glen 100 years ago. Her real name is Charlotte, but Jack gave her the nickname Lotti after they met. Lotti can't forgive Jack for killing his supposedly best friend and object of her affection and thus is targeting Oz to talk to Jack. Her main objective was to find their master Glen, and to find out what actually happened on the night of the Tragedy of Sabrié. Although she was one of the participants, she acted upon orders, and knew nothing behind the scenes. Hence why they approached Jack for the answers. She controls a chain called "Lion". Fang (ファング Fangu?) Fang has spiky hair and a tattoo down the left side of his face. He was also a participant in the Tragedy of Sabrié. Fang speaks politely and is the most rational of the trio. He wields a large blade. Fang's Seiyū is Takayuki Kondo. Doug (ダグ Dagu?) The final member of the trio. Not much has been revealed about him.

[edit] Others Liam (レイム Reimu?) A member of Pandora. He wears glasses and is a serious person. He is always used and made fun of by Break, Oscar or Vincent, much to his frustration. He accidentally discovers Oz's return from the Abyss. Liam is a rather honest person, and is seen to be trusted by most of the Pandora members, and also by Break and Oz. He was put in charge of looking after Oz by Jack. Liam's Seiyū is Suwabe Junichi. Phillipe (フィリップ Firippu?) Phillipe is from a wealthy family and his mother had died, but he loves his father very much. Oz saved Phillipe from some bullies. Oz saw a reflection of himself in Phillipe and was happy that his father was not like Oz's own. Phillipe was then attacked by Echo, who was in pursuit of an illegal contractor. Oz thought that Phillipe was the contractor, but it was actually his father. Phillipe's father made an illegal contract to try and bring his wife back to life, but lost control and was eventually killed by Vincent. After the death of his father, Phillipe was taken to the Nightray's orphanage at Sabrié. There, Oz meets him again. Oz tries to apologise for not being able to bring his father back, but surprisingly, Phillipe states that his father hasn't died, but is working outside. Phillipe's Seiyū is Kumiko Higa. Flower Girl A girl with two plaits that tried to sell flowers to Oz. Later in the chapter, it is revealed that she actually had an illegal contract. Oz and the others saw her when her clock made a full revolution and was consumed and dragged screaming into the abyss.

[edit] Chains B-Rabbit (血染めの黒ウサギ (ビーラビット) Bī-Rabitto, lit. Bloodstained Rabbit?) Also known as Alice and is contracted to Oz. The 'B' stands for Bloodstained Black. B-rabbit is the most powerful chain in the Abyss and resembles an anthropomorphic rabbit with black fur, red pupils and fangs and wields a giant scythe when released. When she is not in battle, she takes the form of a girl with a red coat with white diamond design and white boots. Raven (鴉 (レイブン) Reibun, lit. Crow?) Raven's chain. Sealed by the Nightray family and eventually tamed by Raven (Gilbert). Can use teleportation at a great strain to the user. Eques (一角獣 (エクエス) Ekuesu, lit. Unicorn?) Shalon's chain. Eques is in the shape of a black unicorn and is often used by Shalon for data collection. It has the power to warp between places and dimensions, taking people with it. This, however, does not mean that its attacking power is weak. Mad Hatter (イカレ帽子屋 (マッド ハッター) Maddo Hattā, lit. Mad Hatter?)

Break's chain. It resembles the Alice in Wonderland character of the same name but gives off a more sinister feel. Mad Hatter resembles a giant top hat with flowery decorations, under which is one big eye. It has the power to reject and destroy the power of the Abyss and exists for the purpose of killing other chains. When Break uses its power to a large extent, he is seen coughing up blood. Yamane (眠り鼠 (ヤマネ) Yamane, lit. Sleeping Mouse?) Vincent's chain. It resembles the dormouse of Alice in Wonderland, but much bigger. Yamane has a toy-like tuner on its back and has stitch-closed eyes. It is always seen asleep and also makes its contractor, Vincent, sleepy. Cheshire (チェシャ猫 (チェシャ) Chesha, lit. Cheshire Cat?) A chain that lives in a dimension created from Alice's memories. He resembles a human form of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Cheshire was actually Alice's pet cat from 100 years ago. The bell around his neck is the 'truth' from 100 years ago, later taken by Break. The Cheshire cat is a unique chain in that he doesn't need a contractor in order to leave the Abyss (since his residence isn't in the Abyss in the first place). Originally believed to be a fervent servant of the Intention of the Abyss, it later turns out that he is trying to protect Alice's memories that she abandoned, in order to prevent her from suffering pain when she recalls them. Break mentions that Cheshire's eye was his. Cheshire's Seiyū is Kappei Yamaguchi
