History Characters / RevolutionaryGirlUtena

* TheThreeFacesOfEve (she can be seen as all three depending on the situation: the maiden in her role as the Rose Bride, the wife for the duelists, and the with/crone [[spoiler:and Akio's sexual partner]])

* ChivalrouPervert (Touga, who seduces any girl he wants - three or four at a time - but genuinely cares for Utena, for his sister Nanami and for his friend Saionji... and yet that doesn't stop them from being a JerkAss to them if the situation merits it.)

* [[spoiler:XanatosSucker]] ([[spoiler:to Akio]])

* [[spoiler: WalkingTheEarth]] ([[spoiler: With Chu-chu, after the GrandFinale. To search for Utena and for her real mplace in the world.]])

* IKissYourFoot

* [[spoiler:SamaritanSyndrome (As Dios, he constantly put the needs of the villagers before himself. Because of this, he grew weak to the point where he was on the verge of death.)]]

* AnythingThatMoves (He's mainly into girls, but...)

* [[spoiler:KnifingTheLibbyInTheBack]]

* NiceGuy (So nice that [[spoiler: Mikage rejects him for the Black Duels.]])

* SearchingForTheCure (She became a scientist to try curing her little brother)

* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt (In the Black Rose arc: "Gogai! Gogai! Gogai!")

* [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide]] ([[spoiler:When she sees the effects of her complicit manipulation on Utena, she tries to throw herself off the roof of the dorm]])

* ImagineSpot (When Nanami is trying to embarrass Anthy (and win Miki's affection) by planting weird stuff in her room. She envisions each ploy going off without a hitch, only to have them fail because Anthy is already keeping weird stuff in her room. And Miki finds it cute.)

* ZettaiRyouiki

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses (Deconstructed like whoa. Kanae is implied to fit the true princess archetype in this series, being very passive and lacking any control over her own future. This is not portrayed as a good thing.)

* {{Yangire}} (when this girl snaps, she ''snaps'')

* [[spoiler: ThanatosGambit]]

* [[spoiler:RapeIsLove (he certainly thinks this way about [[IncestIsRelative his little sister)]]]]

* TheGlassesComeOff (This is reversed with Mikage, who is unable to clearly perceive things ''after'' he loses his glasses)

* PromotiontoParent (towards Mamiya)

* BeautifulAllAlong ([[spoiler: Often on the part of the viewers. In the first two arcs, she appears to have short, curled hair, but it's actually RapunzelHair instead. With her hair down and her glasses off, she's quite beautiful.]])

* [[spoiler: BrotherSisterIncest]]

* DamselInDistress ([[spoiler: Subverted: she has potential to fight back, but her role doesn't let her]])

* [[spoiler:LoveMartyr]]

* ShrinkingViolet (What she appears to be on the surface...appropriate, considering her hair color.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve (she can be seen as all three depending on the situation, the maiden in her role as the Rose Bride, the wife for the duelists [[spoiler:and Akio's sexual partner]] and the witch or crone)

* WickedWitch ([[spoiler: Subverted, again!]])

* ChildrenAreInnocent (Subverted: [[spoiler: she kills the kitten she gave her brother because she thought it was taking away too much of his attention]])

* DualWielding

* ReallyGetsAround

* BitchInSheepsClothing
** Or goat's clothing.

* BittersweetEnding ([[spoiler:Out of all the duelists, Kanae is the only one not shown in the BookEnds montage towards the end. The last we see of her is, well...see HowDoYouLikeThemApples.]])

!!'''Tsuwabuki Mitsuru'''

* ButtMonkey

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses (Not. Kanae is implied to fit the true princess archetype in this series, being very passive and lacking any control over her own future. This is not portrayed as a good thing.)

* AiOrikasa

* {{Badass}}

* [[spoiler:DrivenToMadness]] ([[spoiler:seeing Tokiko seduced by Akio and the death of Mamiya made him crack, ''big time'']])

!!'''Mamiya Chid'''

* OurGhostsAreDifferent

!!'''Chida Mamiya''

* GirlInABox

* TakeMyHand

* UnderwaterKiss (In the movie with Touga)

* [[spoiler: DrivenToSuicide (When she sees the effects of her complicit manipulation on Utena, she tries to throw herself off the roof of the dorm)]]

* HeelFaceTurn (Of a sort)

* IWillFindYou (At the very end)

* LoveMartyr
* ManipulativeBitch (An interpretation of her character)

* ShapeShifter (Could be an EmpathicShapeshifter)

* TearsOfRemorse

* WhatTheHellTownspeople

* ClingyMacGuffin (Subversion -- she throws her locket into a lake in one episode; by the end of that episode, it's back with her again. However, she ends up finding it because the locket was planted there, not by sheer chance.)

* ItsAllJunk

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove

* BreakTheHaughty: Oh ''boony'', does this girl have a bad day: [[spoiler: After discovering that her brother, who she loved ever since she was a child, was not her blood sibling, she feels like the connection she had her whole life was a lie.]] After that, [[spoiler: she runs away from home, into the house of a pair of close, happy siblings... only to walk in on them having sex]]. And after ''that'' [[spoiler: she walks in on her brother making out with a member of her old gang, to hear that her brother said he not only never loved her to begin with, and to have her ex-friend claim she has no connection to her anymore]]. And then after ''that'' [[spoiler: she gets the Akio Car treatment, where her brother ''attempts to rape her'', much to her horror. Her proceeding duel has her break down in tears, claiming that she doesn't have any connection to the brother she loves, and is horrified as being just like the other girls he sees absolutely nothing in.]]. It's ''very'' hard not to feel sorry for her after all that, even if you thought she was a raging RichBitch.

* TheScrappy (to many fans, and deservedly so!)

* WickedStepmother (Her biological mother acts in this fashion, cavorting with Akio and caring very little about her ill husband's health or Kanae's well-being)

* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces

* DarkMistress (her dueling outfit suggests this)

* [[spoiler: DyingMomentOfAwesome]]: Well, sort of...but definitely awesome.

* ShutUpHannibal

* TallDarkAndBishoujo (Although she has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pink hair]] and is shorter than most characters)
** Not...really? She's not aloof or standoffish at all. Juri would be a better fit for this trope.

* ConflictingLoyalty

* DeadAllAlong (In the movie)

* FaceHeelTurn (In the manga)

* NotBloodSiblings [[spoiler: (Nanami is crushed after finding out they are both adopted and not blood related after all. This is then subverted when it turns out that Touga was just playing with her head — while they are adopted, they were adopted from the same family and thus actually are blood siblings. For the record: This is the Double Subversion of the Inversion of a trope — a prime example of how Mind Screwy this show is.)]]
* RapeAsBackstory (In the movie)

* RedemptionInTheRain

* ViewerGenderConfusion (Sad but true)
** Sad? Miki's ''voice actor'' is female. It'd be stranger to ''not'' mistake him for a girl.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited

* StepfordSmiler

* TheScrappy (And deservedly so!)
** YMMV. ThisTroper thinks she's quite fascinating.

!!'''OhtoriKanae'''

* ArrangedMarriage
* BigNo
* BittersweetEnding (Out of all the duelists, Kanae is the only one not shown in the BookEnds montage towards the end. The last we see of her is, well...see HowDoYouLikeThemApples.)
* DarkMistress
* DisposableFiance

* HowDoYouLikeThemApples (In the third arc, Akio and Anthy feed Kanae an apple pin-cushioned by forks. It is strongly implied that they're poisoning her, and the apple also obviously stands for Anthy's swords of hate. One of the background music tracks, which plays during Akio and Anthy's familial bonding is called "Fruit of Sin", as well. Make of that what you will.)
