She's prone to stammering and clutziness. She has a huge crush on her senpai, Mytho, a melancholy young man who doesn't speak much.

Ahiru discovers that Mytho is actually the prince out of a story written by the mysterious Drosselmeyer. When Drosselmeyer died, the prince and the evil crow that were battling in his novel escaped.

The prince defeated the crow, but only at the expense of shattering his own heart. Mytho is a boy without feeling or understanding. Drosselmeyer, however, has somehow returned, and has offered Ahiru a chance to help Mytho.

She goes in search of Mytho, and a voice begins telling her riddles. She gets them all wrong, but finds the room Mytho is in, regardless, and gets locked in the room. She transforms into Princess Tutu and finally gets the answer to the riddles, revealing the voice is a lamp with a piece of heart. A traveling ballet troupe comes into town and Ahiru's whole class gets time off to go and see the troupe practice dancing.

There Ahiru sees a heart shard has taken possession of the lead in the upcoming Sleeping Beauty show, but it leaves when the void in her heart is filled when her husband encourages and supports her. Ahiru chases after it and asks the heart shard to return to Mytho, but instead it attacks her with a sword, but Ahiru catches it anyway and returns it to Mytho. It is the feeling of fear and uncertainty, and once returned Mytho becomes afraid of Princess Tutu. Ahiru is shocked at what has happened, because she was only trying to help but Mytho ended up in pain.

Once this heart shard had been returned will Mytho be scared of Princess Tutu forever? Ahiru is distraught over the pain she's brought Mytho, and thinks about giving up being Princess Tutu.

Drosselmeyer is worried that the story will be frozen again if Ahiru quits so he stops time to encourage her, but his plan backfires and Ahiru throws her pendant into the river.

Meanwhile Mytho is confused at the new emotions he is feeling and wanders to the river , where his heart shard of curiosity takes him deep underwater. Ahiru tries to save him but can't in the form of a duck, so she gets the pendant back and becomes Princess Tutu again. She saves Mytho, and Mytho tells her that he doesn't want her to go and wants her to restore his heart. She is glad and is about to restore the shard of desire for knowledge when it is stolen by Princess Kraehe.

Rue wakes up and can't really remember what happened the night before, and then finds Mytho's heart shard in one of her drawers. It asks her a bunch of questions and who she really is, but Rue can't answer. Ahiru is wondering whether to tell Mytho she is Princess Tutu because then they could work together, but if she did she'd also have to tell him that she's really a duck, so she decides not to.

Mytho defies Fakir, and Fakir, realizing he can no longer control Mytho, retrieves the sword of the prince to break Mytho's heart into pieces again.

Kraehe appears and tries to steal Mytho from Princess Tutu, and then Fakir appears and tries to break Mytho's heart. Princess Tutu is able to stop him, and she also returns the heart shard of curiosity. Fakir, having failed to shatter Mytho's heart again, wonders what he should do. Should he give up, especially since Mytho now wants to restore his heart? Rue also has problems, as she tries to convince herself that there is only one of herself.

Rue doesn't want Mytho to change, so she decides to accept her role as Kraehe. Ahiru finds another piece of Mytho's heart, devotion, possessing a student artist. Princess Tutu removes the heart shard, but Kraehe tries to stop her. Mytho comes and Kraehe's resolve wavers when the one she loves stands against her, giving Princess Tutu enough time to restore the heart shard.

Kraehe leaves but hasn't given up on Mytho, and Fakir lunges at Princess Tutu with a shard of glass, missing but cutting the chain of her pendant. Princess Tutu turns into a duck, and by the time she realizes the pendant is missing it is gone. She searches for it all night and finds that Fakir is keeping it. She follows him around all day until he goes to the blacksmith.

Fakir is an orphan with and the blacksmith, Karon , is his adoptive father. Fakir tells Karon that he's realized he is the reincarnation of the knight from the story the Prince and the Raven, but is afraid because it is the knight's fate to die by being torn in half. Ahiru sees that Karon is possessed by a heart shard, regret, and goes and recovers it.

Now free of regret, Karon gives the Lohengrin Sword to Fakir and tells him to follow his heart. When returning to the school, Fakir sees Ahiru and notices the pendant she's wearing, and realizes that she is Princess Tutu. Mytho wants to give a gift to Princess Tutu, after hearing that giving a gift to someone shows how you feel about that person. He goes out with Rue and sees Edel selling gems. Edel gives him a gem called Love, but warns him that although beautiful it can be dangerous and delicate.

Rue, knowing that the gift is not for her, takes it telling Mytho she'll shine it and make it even more beautiful. Kraehe curses the gem with hatred and puts a black feather inside, then gives it back to Mytho. Mytho gives it to Princess Tutu, who discovers the heart shard of love is inside. She is about to return it when Kraehe's hatred inside the gem binds her and Kraehe rips the half-returned heart shard out of Mytho's chest.

Fakir tries to fight Kraehe but loses, and she disappears with Mytho. Kraehe and Mytho have vanished. Princess Tutu helps Fakir back to his dorm and binds his wounds. When he wakes up they decide to search together for Mytho, even though Fakir still refuses to team up with Ahiru. They search all over town but can't find him. Finally Edel shows them the way. After Ahiru is so clumsy Fakir is wondering if she and Tutu can even be the same person, she trips and he tries to save her and they both ending up falling into a hole.

Ahiru reveals to him that she is actually a duck and transforms to explore an underwater tunnel, and finds Mytho. Ahiru and Fakir go to where the final stage has been set, saved just for them for years. Princess Tutu and Fakir arrive at the stage where Kraehe is keeping Mytho, and Kraehe says she'll give the shard of love back if Tutu confesses her feelings, knowing full well that she'll turn into a speck of light and vanish. Tutu is prepared to sacrifice herself but Fakir stops her, fighting the ravens in order to break the sword of the prince so Mytho's heart can never be shattered again.

Tutu resolves to go on, and even though she can't speak her feelings, she decides to express them through dance. Mytho is moved by Tutu's dance and he and the heart shard go to her. The stage vanishes and they are lost in darkness, but a flame appears and guides them. The flame is Edel, who is burning. The Raven is upset at Kraehe for being unable to present him with a suitable heart.

Duck tries to help but is unable. Fakir seems only capable of writing what is happening and is able to change the outcome. She hints that Princess Tutu may be real. Meanwhile, Duck learns about the Fire Festival. Duck has been charged with cleaning the room of the advanced class.

She arrives at the classroom and finds Mytho, dressed in Festival garb, awaiting Rue to practice together. Since she is absent, he decides to dance with Duck instead, to her joy. Fakir sees the two and confronts Mytho, telling him to just listen to him. The two leave and Rue appears. The two talk for a few moments, and Duck goes out in search of Mytho. As punishment for not listening to him, Fakir locks Mytho in a closet.

Outraged, Duck tries to open the locked door, and lets slip that she knows that Mytho is regaining the pieces of his heart. Fakir becomes suspicious and questions her.

Duck discovers that both Rue and Fakir know about Mytho being the Prince from the story. Fakir aggressively tells Duck that Mytho does not need a heart. In the closet, Mytho hears a voice talking to him from a strange glowing panel in the floor. Edel appears once more, and points out an open window that Duck can go through. She does and she falls onto the glowing panel, which opens and causes her to tumble down into some catacombs.

She goes in search of Mytho, and a voice begins telling her riddles. She gets them all wrong, but finds the room Mytho is in, regardless, and gets locked in the room. She transforms into Princess Tutu, and finally gets that the answer to the riddles, revealing the voice as a lamp with a piece of heart. Tutu dances while the lamp spotlights her. The lamp reveals that she once shone for people, but was cast aside.

She now wants Mytho so that she can shine for him. Tutu talks the lamp into releasing Mytho, and promises to take the lamp with her. Mytho's feeling of affection is returned to him. Rue, waiting for Mytho at the plaza even after the festival ends, finally turns to leave but finds Mytho in her path. They dance while Duck looks on, lamp in hand.

Smiling, Rue looks up at Mytho, to find him looking at her with gentle eyes. His emotion surprises her, and she runs away. Fakir is seen glaring, and Duck looks unhappily after Rue. Fakir tracks him down and Autor tells him that he is a direct descendant of Drosselmeyer. Fakir is tested by Autor to see if he truly has the power.

After training for three days he has to listen to the voice of a piece of an oak tree, and if he fails, he will become one with the earth. He is about to fail and turned into a tree when Duck transforms into Princess Tutu and saves him.

Princess Tutu helps Fakir back to his dorm and binds his wounds, and when he wakes up they decide to search together for Mytho, though Fakir still refuses to team up with Duck. They search everywhere but find nothing, until they happen upon Edel, who shows them the way. In the passage, Duck is so clumsy that Fakir wonders if she and Tutu can even be the same person. She trips and he moves to save her, and they both ending up falling down a deep hole.

Duck reveals to him that she is actually a duck and transforms to find a way to get out. Together, Duck and Fakir go to where the final stage has been set. Fakir realizes that he has to write a story to get her out of there, but is having a hard time thinking of what he should write.

Tutu wanders the puppet world puppets of clowns gather around her saying she stopped the story and the gears. Her whole body is turned to puppet and she meets Drosselmeyer, where he demands she become one of his puppets and do whatever he tells her so the story will not end.

Meanwhile, Uzura meets the ghost of Edel at the bottom of the story machine and starts to turn the gears of the story backwards, prompting flashbacks and revelations for Rue, Duck, and Fakir. Fakir finally manages to write Tutu out of the machine, and calls her back out to him.

Rue has her own demons to deal with, as she tries to convince herself that there is only one of her. But Rue does not want Mytho to change, so she decides to accept her role as Kraehe. Duck finds another piece of Mytho's heart, devotion, possessing a student artist. Princess Tutu removes the heart shard, but Kraehe appears and takes it from her. Mytho comes and Kraehe's resolve wavers when the one she loves stands against her, giving Princess Tutu enough time to restore the heart shard.

Duck sees that a heart shard has taken possession of the lead in the upcoming Sleeping Beauty show, but it leaves when the void in her heart is filled when the lead's husband encourages and supports her. Duck chases after the shard and asks it to return to Mytho, but it instead attacks her with a sword. Despite its obvious reluctance, Duck catches it and returns it to Mytho. The shard turns out to be the feeling of fear and uncertainty, and once it is returned Mytho becomes afraid of Princess Tutu.

Duck is shocked and dismayed that her attempt to help Mytho has ended with him in pain. Duck tries to get Rue to help her find the rest of the shards, but Rue refuses. The Raven is revived and calls on Mytho to offer his heart. Tutu is prepared to sacrifice herself but Fakir stops her. He fights his way through the ravens in order to break the sword of the prince so Mytho's heart can never be shattered again.

Tutu resolves to go on, and she decides to express her feelings through dance. Mytho is moved by Tutu's dance and he and the heart shard go to her, and his heart is repaired. The stage vanishes and they are lost in darkness, but a flame appears to show them the way out.
