Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a dead writer looking for his next protagonist. The author of The Prince and the Raven, Drosselmeyer loves stories – especially the tragic ones. Though now dead, Drosselmeyer still rules over the fairytale town he created, viewing its residents as nothing more than personal puppets in the grand drama he's creating. His latest toy? Young Ahiru, a duck-turned-human Drosselmeyer hopes to cast as the heroine of his latest story.
Personality... creatively, cheerfully insane. There's no doubt Drosselmeyer is a talented writer, but he seems to have a much harder time separating truth and reality. After all, it's one thing to call a happy ending "the epitome of boredom" in a story, but it's quite another to apply that philosophy to real people.

Princess Tutu follows Duck, a duck who was transformed into a young girl and takes ballet at a private school. She becomes enamoured of her mysterious schoolmate Mytho, and transforms into Princess Tutu to restore his shattered heart. Mytho's girlfriend Rue transforms into Princess Kraehe to frustrate Tutu's efforts, and Mytho's protective friend Fakir discourages Mytho's burgeoning emotions. When it becomes apparent that Duck, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir are meant to play out the characters in a story by a long-dead writer named Drosselmeyer, they resist their assigned fates and fight to keep the story from becoming a tragedy.
