Princess Tutu: A Sorta Fairytale

Princess Tutu is based on a story within a story. It begins by telling the story of a storyteller who died, leaving his tale of a battle between a prince and an evil raven unfinished.

Frustrated at their battle being left unfinished, the prince and the raven flew out of the story--and the prince sealed the raven away using his heart. But the story didn't end there.

What happened to the prince without a heart, the raven who was sealed away, and the storyteller who died before finishing his story? Each one of them has a part in the town of Kinken-chou and story of Princess Tutu.

The Prince Who Lost His Heart

Mute, having no heart, can only imitate the feelings he is told to. As Princess Tutu returns his heart through the episodes, he becomes more independent. He loves Tutu, though if she tells him she feels the same, she will disappear in a flash of light.

Ahiru / Princess Tutu

The Ballet Princess!

Ahiru, unknown to any but her, Edel-san, and the "Creepy Nutcracker Guy" or Dusselmeyyer, has the ability to transform into Princess Tutu, a graceful ballerina princess destined to save Mute, the heartless prince from the story, "The Prince and the Raven".

While battling (ballet style, of course) against the raven's evil daughter, Princess Kreache (also spelled Clair, but you pronounce it like Ku-rer-ru) and the knight later to help her save Mute, Fakia (also spelled Fakir).

She tries to stop others from discovering that she becomes a duck every time she says "Quack", and trying to stop from having to marry her ballet instructor, Neko-sensei (Neko is cat in Japanese).

Rue/Princess Kreache

The Raven's Daughter!

Unknown to anyone but her, Rue, the best student in ballet class, becomes Princess Kreache against her own will. While in this form, she has no control over herself, and fights Princess Tutu in ballet dance-offs. After she becomes Rue again, she has no recollection of what she has just done.

Fakia

The Knight

Fakia, at first an annoying, interfering git, actually becomes a good guy in time to help Ahiru save Mute and return his heart, and he ends up with Ahiru (oops, I just spoiled the ending...:(...

Well, anyway, He is the one who named Mute (after losing his heart the prince forgot everything about his past), and tells Mute how to act before Mute gets enough of his heart back to be independent.

Neko-sensei

A Cat...And A Ballet Instructor!

A slightly creepy humanoid (acting like a human) cat, Neko-sensei (neko is Japanese for cat) teaches ballet at the large school in the town of Kinken-chou. He threatens his students with marriage (to him!) if they step out of line.

The Feelings

Possessing others.

The feelings in Mute's heart, after being separated from him when he lost his heart, are forced to roam Kinken-chou, then settle down in those who's hearts are cracked. It is Princess Tutu's job to return these misplaced feelings back in Mute's heart.

Pike and Ririe

Ahiru's slightly annoying friends...

Pike and Ririe completely ignore Ahiru's real feelings, and decide anything she says is actually hiding her true feelings. Though Pike thinks Ahiru is crazy, Ririe thinks of her as a delicate hamster, in the sense that she thinks Ahiru is adorable, cluelessly cute, and a worst ballet dancer to the point where it hurts to dance, which is obviously does not. Both are as non-observant as one suffering of hypothermia!
