Snake's birthday (March 15)

It is Snake's birthday in the year of the snake! Happy birthday, says Wordsworth, Emily, Goethe, Oscar, Wilde, Webster, Brontë, Donne, Keats, and Jonathan!

Celebrate by eating some good food surrounded by friends, cuddling (?) sheep, and reading a little bit of trivia^^

He has a forked tongue like a snake. This was first mentioned in the Character Guide (2009) but never shown until Chapter 208 (2024), 15 years later!

(Please excuse the bad scan^^')

He doesn't have a birth name, so Joker gave him the name "Snake"!

(From Chapter 208)

His mother was Sarah Kemble, an actress. (Chapter 209) Interestingly, "Kemble" is the name of a real-life British family of actors. One of its most famous members was Sarah Siddons (née Kemble) who lived from 1755 to 1831. (Yana once stated that she does not put much value on names when creating characters, but she also said she sometimes names them after historical people. [Translation] Maybe she picked the name deliberately?)

While Snake's snakes are all named after famous authors, he himself cannot read. Finnian used to teach him though (source). Jumbo named all his snakes because he was a reader (Chapter 208).

Snake is the only one of the Phantomhive servants whose birthday is known so far *stares into the distance* He and the others will get their time to shine in Season 5 which will start airing on April 5, 2025!

He gets to inaugurate his new bag too! (*acquired it in Episode 57/Chapter 85)

With friends inside :)

VolXXXIV, Cover for Snake

Saw this on Twitter/X this morning.

Yep, I figured Snake would end up on the cover of the volume that includes the chapter where he dies....
