Hmm, this is an interesting thread. I never really gave much thought to source characters and so forth, which made this a bit of a challenge. Ciel sort of breaks down as:
Aerith from FF7
![[Image: aeris-points-to-the-sky.jpg]](http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/charimg/screenshots/aeris-points-to-the-sky.jpg)
A gentle spirit and a love for flowers and nature, yet also gifted with the ability to hear and understand the world around her. For Ciel, it isn't so much hearing the voice of the Planet (even if it is, as a warrior of light), but the ability to hear and understand the Elementals. She also bears a willingness to do whatever must be done, regardless of cost to herself.
Silmeria from Valkyrie Profile 2

Sometimes a presence felt more than seen, she has often taken on the role of a guide, be it taking someone on a tour of the realm, helping someone make a difficult personal decision, or helping to ease the spirit of someone who is soon to pass on, allowing them to let go of worldly fetters and pain.
... and just a smidgeon of River Song from Doctor Who

Stylish as well as sassy, and sometimes seems to be wherever she's needed at just the right time. Hello, dahling~
