If you've been in the Anime and manga community for a while (or even if you're new to it), you've most likely heard an Anime or manga character be called a "trap". But, what is a trap exactly? Well, that's what this post is here to tell you! Simply put, a trap is a character that looks very convincingly like the opposite gender. Although it is mostly used to refer to boys, it is also occasionally used for girls as well. A trap will usually dress like the opposite gender as well. Unfortunately (for this blog post, not for me), I have not seen more than one or two Anime shows with a trap in it. So, I will use Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler as an example for this. Enjoy!

As a bonus, here's a picture of what Ciel normally looks like.
