Plot

Once there was a man named Drosselmeyer, a writer, whose stories became reality. The people, fearing his powers, cut off his hands and took his life. In vengeance, he locked a prince and a raven in an eternal battle. The raven broke from the story and the prince soon followed to seal him away - but to do so, he sacrificed his own heart by shattering it with his sword. Drosselmeyer, however, had written of himself, and managed to continue writing as a character in his own stories. When he sees a duck watching this sad heartless prince dancing on the water, he decides to let the story unfold on its own and grants the duck's wish to help the prince. To do so, he transforms the duck into a girl named Ahiru (Japanese for "duck").

To be able to help the prince, Drosselmeyer makes Ahiru into a student at the ballet school the prince attends. Ahiru remembers seeing a handsome prince dance on the water. Often, Ahiru sadly reminds herself that she is not the graceful Princess Tutu, only a clumsy duck. Ahiru reverts back to her original duck form whenever she says, "Quack," but she is able to become human when in contact with water.

Ahiru wears an egg-shaped necklace that glows red and cues her transformation into Princess Tutu when one of the pieces of the prince's shattered heart is near. The prince's heart pieces seem to flock to those who are beginning to feel the feeling that they represent and prove to heighten it to a dangerous level.

Unlike most magical girl heroines, Princess Tutu does not physically fight her adversaries. belong to a sub-genre of Japanese fantasy Anime and Manga. Magical girl stories feature young girls with superhuman abilities who are forced to fight evil and protect Instead, she chooses to dance with them, in an attempt to help them better understand their feelings and show them how to overcome it. Since these heightened emotions are a result of the heart piece that resides within them, they are freed of this artificial intensity when Princess Tutu removes the heart piece and returns them to the prince.
