Utena is a tomboyish, courageous and naïve character who lives to emulate the idealized prince figure from her childhood. She is forthright, honest, and friendly. Nearly all the girls in school adore her. She both subverts and conforms to the stereotypes she embodies as a noble warrior and a naïve magical girl in danger of becoming a damsel in distress. The series chronicles her journey to protect her friend Anthy and become a truly noble Prince. Utena's relationship with Anthy that goes from close friends to family to blooming into love is one the most important theme in the series according to director Kunihiko Ikuhara. In the manga Utena's relationship with Anthy is only that of friendship and it's hinted she has feelings for Touga.
