Princess Tutu (anime)/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== '''Ahiru ("Duck")''' ===

[[File:Ahiru_Character_Sheet.jpg|frame|Sometimes a girl, sometimes a duck--but ALWAYS a klutz.]]

 

 

Once upon a time, there was a duck that wished she could do anything to save a lonely prince. There was also a clumsy girl that dreamed of one day becoming a ballerina. And there was also a [[Everything's Better with Princesses|princess]] that was cursed to turn into a speck of light and vanish if she confessed her feelings to the one she loved.

=== '''Mytho''' ===

Once upon a time, there was a Prince that was battling with an evil Raven in a story. When the man that was writing the story died, the Prince and the Raven escaped from the pages of the story into the town where the man once lived. In order to protect the people, the Prince used a forbidden spell to shatter his heart and [[Sealed Evil in a Can|seal the Raven away]]--losing his emotions in the process. That prince was found wandering aimlessly by Fakir, who gave him the name "Mytho", from the Greek word "Mythos", which means "story". And so began Mytho's emotionless existence -- until Princess Tutu appeared in the story once more.

=== '''Fakir''' ===

Once upon a time, there was a knight that served a Prince. Ever loyal to his liege, he pledged that he would serve the Prince with his life. When the Prince began to fight an evil Raven, he was granted a chance to fulfill his vow--and died when the Raven clawed him in two.

=== '''Rue''' ===

[[File:Rue_and_Kraehe_TV_Tropes_CS.jpg|frame|Obviously, the school uniform does nothing for a girl's figure.]]

 

 

Rue is the star ballerina of Gold Crown Academy, and Mytho's girlfriend. Although very beautiful and an amazing dancer, she's proud and cold towards others, rarely thinking about their emotions. However, she does have a good heart, and once Ahiru reaches out to her and tries to become her friend [[Defrosting Ice Queen|she begins to open up to her]]--at least until she finds out Ahiru is Princess Tutu.

=== '''Herr D. D. Drosselmeyer''' ===

[[File:Drosselmeyer_TV_Tropes_character_sheet.jpg|frame|What prolonged exposure to TV Tropes can do to a person.]]

 

 

Years before the opening of the series, Drosselmeyer was a writer that was working on his masterpiece, "The Prince and the Raven". However, before he could complete his story, he died, leaving his story unfinished and the two title characters trapped in an endless battle. Eventually, the characters were able to leave the story -- and it turned out that Drosselmeyer, while dead, could somehow control the story even from the grave...

=== '''Autor''' ===

''"[[Mr. Exposition|Everything you've been dying to know]]!"'' }}

 

 

A relatively minor but important character in the second season, Autor is the main source of information for Fakir and Ahiru. Before he's properly introduced, Autor has [[Chekhov's Gunman|several cameos]] showing him shushing people at the library and hovering in the background [[Mysterious Watcher|watching Fakir]]. Once he enters the story, he proclaims himself to be ''the'' expert when it comes to Drosselmeyer and his powers. Autor is in fact a fanboy of Drosselmeyer and finds the very idea that he's still around pulling the strings "thrilling". That, combined with his massive ego and [[Training From Hell]] that he puts Fakir through, causes him to be a very unsympathetic character at first.
