vanitas is smart, has a lot of knowledge in different fields

Personality

Vanitas seems to take nothing seriously, and almost always has a playful grin on his face. He acts impulsively most of the time, and his plans are normally reckless. Vanitas carries a mischievous air around him. He finds utmost amusement in Noé's abnormal reactions to things. However, he is capable of showing seriousness when the situation called for it, as well as anger. He is very flirtatious, as seen in the way he behaves around Jeanne. Beneath his flippant attitude, Vanitas is a broken man who despises both humans and vampires, but hates himself more than either. Vanitas hates being vulnerable around people, refusing to go to sleep around anyone he doesn’t trust. He likes high places and is often seen hanging around rooftops.

Appearance

Vanitas is a slender, androgynous young man of average height. He has pale skin, large, expressive eyes, a round face, and a small chin. So blue are his eyes that they are used as an immediately identifiable trait, compared to the color of copper sulfate. An upper left canine tooth is especially pronounced, giving the appearance of fangs when his teeth were visible, though they are not as pronounced as vampires' fangs. His hair is long, black, and irregularly cut, his bangs falling into the center of his face. On either side of his face, his hair is straight cut, the left side to one level and the right side to two. Though he at times appears to wear a ponytail, his hair usually sits freely, the hair on either side of his head cut shorter than that down the middle. One cowlick sticks up from the right side of his head. Both of his ears are pierced, a simple stud worn in his right ear, while his left ear is pierced with a silver (gold, in the anime) hourglass-shaped earring that he inherited from Luna, and two rings through the helix. usually wears a white shirt over black pants, a dark blue striped vest, a large blue bow tie, and an oversized black coat. As accessories, he wears a long, wide ribbon tied into a bow as a belt, short boots with white spats, and black gloves with claws embedded at the fingertips. His coat is long, with a wide collar and a single button, large enough to frequently fall over one shoulder. At its hem, it takes a baloon-like form, and is joked to float "through some mysterious power." Its sleeves are someone based on those of a furisode kimono. To his belt, he straps the Book of Vanitas, two knives, and two tool cases.

Hobbies

Vanitas likes to be in high places. His goal is to heal vampires. But in general, I don't mind doing something simple. For example, reading or walking around the city at night

Combat skills

Vanitas's proficiency in combat seems to have originated from his training as a Chasseur. In addition to his combat abilities and weapons training, his brief time with the Chasseurs taught him in great detail the methods of fighting a Vampire. He knows that, as their eyes are the conduit with which they can access and rewrite the World Formula, the first step is to aim for a Vampire's eyes.[8] He has utilized this knowledge not only against Vampires he's attacked[2] but also against Chasseurs who have attacked him.[9] He also, through unknown means, has access to the drugs Chasseurs use to boost their physical abilities. He only uses them in the rare scenario where he has no choice but to fight a Vampire to the death. Vanitas' main weapon is a pair of knives, the handles of which are connected by wire. In addition, some pockets on his belt contain various "cheat devices" that he uses both in and out of combat. He has a tendency to hide his weapons and tools, allowing himself an additional element of surprise if he needs it, which complements his crafty trick-like fighting style. He is also adept at gathering information about his enemies and using it in battle against them. He prefers to be prepared and constantly gain the upper hand over his enemies.

Powers and Abilities

As a mere human, Vanitas is more often than not significantly less powerful than those around him who are Vampires, at least physically so. While he is demonstrably fit, athletic, and spry, his strength, speed, and endurance are only that of an average human being and no more. The exception is the rate at which he heals from injuries, which is accelerated due to Doctor Moreau's experimentation. To compensate for his generally inferior physical strength, Vanitas is extremely sharp, clever, and resourceful in battle. He can analyze situations and come up with appropriate solutions and counterattacks very fast, even in the middle of a dangerous battle. He makes use of every resource available to him and is not afraid to use underhanded tactics, to the dismay of those around him.

Skills

Aside from combat, Vanitas also has a number of skills in other areas of expertise. Despite his status as a doctor being largely self-proclaimed, Vanitas has had clear medical training and experience, likely from being raised by his doctor of a father. He knows how to perform first aid, how to treat poisons, and carries various medicines around with him. He also knows a number of other practical skills, including how to cook, how to clean, and has various knowledge about French history and culture, even minor trivia such as different apple desserts. He is familiar with the Latin language, likely the result of both his upbringing in the Church and his medical knowledge.
