The protagonist and namesake of the series, Utena Tenjou is a 14-year-old girl whose parents died when she was little. After a dashing prince saved her from depression, she vowed to become a prince herself. At the prestigious Ohtori Academy, she gets mixed up with a sinister and revolutionary dueling game played by the Student Council. She's very popular with the vast majority of the students at school, but not so much with the staff.

[[folder:A-I]]
%%* AccidentalMarriage: More like accidental engagement, though.
* AccidentalTruth: In episode 30, she tells Akio that he is like a playboy. This turns out to be ''far closer'' to Akio's [[TheCasanova real personality]] than she herself would ever have guessed.
* ActionGirl: Her duels take place almost OnceAnEpisode, and she's extremely athletic. And even outside of the duels, she's really tough both in personality and in physical ability. She can jump, she can punch, she's a demon on the basketball court, and she can beat trained duelists with broken swords, bamboo practice swords, and a ''pitchfork''. And let's not get started on the truly ''epic'' move she pulls in the last episode...
* AdaptationDyeJob:
** In the earliest sketches from the manga, she was blonde with hazel eyes (although some illustrations also had them blue). After the anime came out, the manga followed suit and gave her pink hair and blue eyes.
** She has naturally black hair in the stage musicals.
** Her uniform was also originally pink in the manga (though she receives a black version in volume 3), while the anime depicts it as black.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Utena in the series is [[AmbiguouslyBi heavily implied to be bisexual]], but [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday in denial of being attracted to Anthy]]. In the movie, Utena is ''very'' clearly and unreservedly bisexual, having no hesitation about romantic interest with Touga or Anthy.
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Receives one from Nanami in Episode 10 for [[spoiler:indirectly getting Touga injured by Saionji]] and also in Chapter 10 of the manga by Juri herself for the same reason. Utena herself dishes one out on [[spoiler:Wakaba]] for speaking out against Anthy and blaming her for [[spoiler:Utena's depression in Episode 12]]. What she probably didn't expect was that her target planned to hit back a lot harder.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Possibly, at the end of the series and manga. ''After The Revolution'' reveals she has become a spirit similar to Dios, but bestowing "The power to revolutionize the world" in the sense she is granting people the power to forge new connections with one another and change their perceptions.]]
* BadassAdorable: Very cute girl with an adorable uniform and a complete heart of gold. Very skilled swordswoman and an all around badass.
* BadassNormal: In her first duel, she won with a broken bamboo sword and no power of Dios.
* BeginnersLuck: She has no experience in swordfighting but manages to beat Saionji, who's practiced kendo since childhood.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Though she's generally pretty tomboyish, it's only in TheMovie when she really fits this trope, since she appears to have BoyishShortHair when she isn't dueling (it's actually CompressedHair, since she's hiding most of it under her hat) and her CustomUniform is much more masculine-looking.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's quite a friendly and compassionate student at Ohtori Academy when we are introduced to her and she's quite fierce in sword fighting when she rescues Anthy from Saionji and has to duel with the entire student council.
* TheBigDamnKiss: With [[spoiler:Anthy in the movie.]]
* BigGood: [[spoiler:In ''After The Revolution'', she's replaced Dios as the prince but instead of simply "saving" people, she helps them reconnect with others so they can work through their problems.]]
* BlitheSpirit: She has no idea about the plot that the student council is involved in but gets involved in their lives (and tangled interpersonal issues).
%%* BloodBrothers: With Anthy.
* {{Bokukko}}: Refers to herself with the masculine pronoun "boku", fitting with her tomboyish nature.
* BreakTheCutie: Utena only wanted to become the prince she admired. [[spoiler:It didn't happen.]]
* BullyHunter: Essentially what Utena tries to do throughout the show and in the movie in a fairytale-style context, as most of the characters are somewhere between highly to "minimally" abusive toward Anthy. In the movie it's played straighter as the concept is ''somewhat'' less warped ([[spoiler:to be in part about her image as a person]]).
* CharacterTics: Stretching, exercising -- even in the middle of a conversation.
* CheeryPink: An upbeat and idealist girl with pink hair.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: {{Inverted|Trope}}, as she suffers from Chronic ''Getting-Backstabbed'' Disorder. Touga betrays her by manipulating her into losing her first duel with him. [[spoiler:Akio betrays her by revealing how much of a ManipulativeBastard he is and his abuse of Anthy, which shatters any and all admiration that Utena had for Dios. Anthy betrays her by following Akio's order to stab her InTheBack.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** In the anime, as a child Juri witnessed her older sister nearly drown, causing a boy to attempt to save her but drown in the process; however, Juri's sister is saved by an adult. This back story is given to Utena in the movie, but instead of an older sister, the drowning girl is a stranger (actually Juri, according to WordOfGod), and the boy is [[spoiler:Touga]].
** In the movie-manga, [[spoiler:Utena ''is'' the girl who nearly drowned]].
** And in the ''original'' manga, ''Utena'' is the "boy" who jumped into the river to save a girl and nearly drowned. [[spoiler:This is the one continuity where the rescuer actually survives.]]
* CompressedHair: In the movie, which leads to a dramatic LettingHerHairDown moment in the first duel with Saionji. There are actually sketches in the art book showing how she could manage to braid it tightly enough to fit it under her hat.
* ConflictingLoyalty: To her prince, and her desire to ''be'' a prince herself. Some of the less scrupulous characters in the show exploit her through this.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Part of the premise - finding the prince who cheered her up after she lost her parents is the driving motive that led her to where she is at the beginning of the story.
* CoolCar: [[spoiler:Becomes this in the GainaxEnding]] of the movie.
* CovertPervert: Very subtly in the FreakyFridayFlip where she sneaks a peek of Saionji's bare chest.
* CustomUniform: She says that she wears the boy's uniform, but no one in Ohtori has an outfit like hers.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She may be TheHero and have a white rose, but she dresses prominently in black and red.
* DeadpanSnarker: With the Shadow Girls in the Black Rose Arc.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:In her final duel against the Prince of Dios himself, she immediately has him on the ropes after a ShutUpHannibal moment in retaliation to his BreakingSpeech.]]
* DreamingTheTruth: In episode 34, she has a dream that shows what ''really'' happened on the day of her parents' funeral when she met her prince, though at first, she isn't sure if it was true or not.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Utena rushes in to save a "damsel in distress" at the start of the series, while the rest of the series is essentially Utena trying to "save" Anthy, but seemingly with the selfish intention of boosting her own ego so she can resemble her idol, the prince who saved her all those years ago. [[spoiler:[[TragicHero This childish behavior nearly drives Anthy away completely but once Utena realizes how self-centered she has been, she strives to genuinely help Anthy. Alas, while Utena is successful in giving Anthy the push to break free from her role as the Rose Bride, this costs Utena her very existence]]]].
%%* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Well, sort of, but definitely awesome]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When the power of Dios helps her to win her duels.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Anthy stabs her InTheBack in the penultimate episode.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: And HOW. A RunningGag is that a gaggle of schoolgirls either rush towards her like worshippers, or stand in the background enthusiastically gushing to each other about how "cool" they think she is--both scenarios while conspicuously [[CrushBlush blushing]]. (She used to provide the picture for that page.)
* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: Combined with ImplausibleFencingPowers.
* FirstKiss: After hearing Wakaba talk about this, she muses that hers must have been from Dios. In the manga and light novel, her SacredFirstKiss is stolen by Touga early on. In the anime, her first kiss is [[spoiler:Akio]].
* FreakOut: In Episode 11, she doesn't take the truth behind Anthy's role as the Rose Bride too well. It's even worse in the [[http://a.mhcdn.net/store/manga/3178/018.0/compressed/scan0017.jpg?v=1227003390 manga]].
* TheGadfly: Often mockingly bothers other people for their love affairs. Like when, after founding the truth about their past relationship, she [[MomentKiller disrupts them when they're, likely, having an exes' quarrel]] (and just by staring and loudly slurp her tea).
* GirlInABox: At her parents' funeral. She finds a third coffin and hides in it, hoping to be buried herself.
* GodivaHair: In the movie-manga [[spoiler:during her sex scene with Touga]].
* GoGetterGirl: What Utena starts out as. Events force her to confront what, exactly, achievement means to her.
* GoodWithNumbers: According to Wakaba she does quite well in math. Her grades start to slip, however, once she starts dueling.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Every time she gives her routine about wanting to be a prince so she can rescue princesses, she reiterates that she's still "Just a normal girl who wants a normal guy!"
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:A battered, exhausted, and freshly-stabbed Utena saves Anthy's soul by opening the Rose Gate with her bare hands, but ends up getting the stabbing from the Swords of Hate in Anthy's place; Utena's willingness to do everything possible to help her friend is ultimately the key to helping Anthy break free of her relationship with Akio and leave Ohtori.]]
* HiddenDepths: For a sporty tomboy, she made a functional dress out of a ''tablecloth''.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: A more subtle case than most, but her most prominent flaw throughout most of the series is that she tends to assume she completely understands the emotions someone is feeling after just a few seconds, and then tries to impose her own sense of what the solution would be, typically just making things worse. Juri nails it by calling her "cruelly innocent."
* {{Hypocrite}}: Something [[spoiler:Akio]] uses as BreakingSpeech. [[spoiler:She uses Anthy as her personal DamselInDistress to be her prince, so she has a reason to live for after her parents's death, and never cared enough for Anthy to try to understand her suffering.]] She gets better, says ShutUpHannibal to that and grows to ''really'' wanting to free Anthy. Doubles as NotSoDifferent since Utena is quick to call out others for not caring about Anthy.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Averted. [[spoiler:Not only is she seduced by Akio, she also made quite a few mistakes when it came to Anthy; namely, by using her position as Anthy's "protector" to feel good about herself.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: Has blue eyes, and she's easily the most [[WideEyedIdealist idealistic]] character in the series.
* InnocentInaccurate: She [[spoiler:witnesses Anthy's torment]] when she's only five or six and doesn't understand what's going on, except of course that it's horrible and she wants to save [[spoiler:Anthy]] from. Over time, this just becomes a desire to make herself into a prince.
* InTheBack: [[spoiler:In the penultimate episode, Anthy stabs Utena with her own sword—the same one that Utena wielded throughout the series. Utena struggles to remain on her feet and help free Anthy from her abusive brother, Akio, ''despite her betrayal''.]]
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: "Grant me the power to bring the world revolution!"
* InstantExpert: Is never stated to have any real sword training before getting involved in the duels, and is never shown training in swordsmanship between duels (while she's highly athletic, her sport of choice is basketball, not fencing or kendo), yet she ends the series with an 18-2 dueling record.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:K-W]]
* KissingDiscretionShot: In the second ending sequence with Anthy.
* KnightInSourArmour: [[spoiler:By the last arc, Utena loses faith in her own good because she realizes that she only became a prince in order to find something to live for after her parents died. She loves Anthy but is not sure whether she wants to continue fighting for a less than pure girl who sleeps with her brother. In the end, though, Utena realizes that no matter what Anthy does, she'll always get the short end of the stick as long as she stays in Ohtori: she can manipulate as many students as she wants, but at the end of the day, she'll still be the Rose Bride openly stepped on by every Duelist she comes across, and the only one in the world who is perpetually impaled by a swarm of animated swords. Now that she has realized this '''and''' that [[ItsAllAboutMe she hs admitted how self-righteous she used to be about Anthy's difficulties]], Utena decides to fight again anyway, so she can give Anthy the chance to truly free herself and stop suffering.]]
* LadyAndKnight: The Knight to Anthy's Lady, especially since she aims to be a prince. [[spoiler:Deconstructed when she realizes that she's mostly being the Knight to Anthy's lady to fulfill her own desire of having something to live for after her parents' death, without taking Anthy's feelings into account.]]
* LadyOfWar: She's the standout ActionGirl of the story and a dignified fencer. She even partakes in archery in the manga, though it's most likely a part of the school curriculum. However, [[http://a.mhcdn.net/store/manga/3178/012.0/compressed/alicedreams_13.jpg?v=1222623841 her garments]] do accentuate the dignity and elegant factor.
* MagicKnight: Whenever she gains the power of Dios in a duel, or when Anthy powers up the sword.
* MeaningfulName: "''Utena''" translates to "calyx", a set of specialized leaves that protect the petals of a budding flower. Note that Anthy's name means "flower". "''Tenjou''" means "the top of/above the heavens", fitting her idealistic nature and desire to go to the castle in the sky.
* MementoMacguffin: Her ring, which her mysterious prince gave to her and told her that it would lead her back to him one day. It turns out that her ring is the same as the ones the members of the Student Council wear, which lets them participate in the duels. [[spoiler:Naturally, this isn't a coincidence.]]
* MoralityPet: To some extent, Touga's. She seems to be the only person that he comes to genuinely care about.
* NaiveNewcomer: At the very beginning, which doesn't make much sense since she's been attending Ohtori for at least one term prior. (The beginning of the manga has her at her old school before deciding to go to Ohtori, so it fits a bit more there.)
* OnceUponATime: "...there was a princess grieving over the deaths of her mother and father."
* OrphansPlotTrinket: Her Rose Signet, which she received few after being orphaned.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents died when she was very young, leaving her an orphan.
* PassionateSportsGirl: She alone can beat ''a whole basketball team''.
* PinkHeroine: She has pink hair and turns into a pink car at the end of ''Adolescence of Utena''. In the beginning of the manga, her school jacket was pink.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Utena is associated heavily with pink. Her hair is pink, she occasionally wears pink dresses, she's associated with pink roses etc. Pink is one of the few concessions to femininity in an otherwise tomboyish character. It seems to represent her naive and trusting nature as pink becomes more on display when Touga and Akio are manipulating her.
* PluckyGirl: She ''never'' gives up. [[spoiler:She has to confront her emotions eventually, but she's still overall one of the cheerier characters.]] By the end of the series, she forces herself back up with her bare knuckles.
* ThePromise: Invoked with [[spoiler:Akio, manipulating her in the form of Dios]], to save Anthy in her past.
* ProperLady: She's ''not'' one, but once tries to act like one to cope [[spoiler:after Touga defeats her and she temporarily loses Anthy]]. Wakaba immediately realizes that she's miserable trying to act like something she's not and manages to snap her out of it and get her back in the arena. Once the deal is resolved, Utena reverts to her natural tomboy self.
* RapunzelHair: Has this through the movie in her "dueling form" and in the ending; it's also wavy as opposed to straight. Otherwise, for the majority of it, she has short boyish hair.
* RealityEnsues: In the last arc, she's been warned several times by Saionji, Touga, ''and'' Nanami about [[spoiler:Anthy's and Akio's true relationship]] and to distance herself from them, yet (understandably) because of their past transgressions, she disregards them. Even during her duel with [[spoiler:Akio]], she's warned that their fight will be absolutely nothing like the ones she experienced, [[spoiler:and ultimately pays the price in the end when she earns a sword in the back for her troubles and later becomes a human pincushion.]]
* RealWomenDontWearDresses: When Touga and Akio manipulate her into becoming more feminine, Utena is weaker than she usually is.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Inverted. She dresses prominently in black and red but she is TheHero.
* RedIsHeroic: Downplayed. While red is one of Utena's main color scheme, it's mainly [[DarkIsNotEvil black]], but she's still a hero.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Utena is close friends with Wakaba, who is quite physically affectionate and calls Utena her "boyfriend", but Utena isn't actually attracted to her. This is a contrast to Utena's relationship with Anthy, as Utena's denial of attraction to her [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday is far less sincere]].
* RoseHairedSweetie: Not so much "sweetie" as "chivalric". That's what she wants to be.
* SaveThePrincess: What she thinks she's doing where Anthy is concerned. [[spoiler:She's doing it more for '''herself''' than for Anthy, and she doesn't take it well when she has to face it.]]
* SecretlySelfish: [[spoiler:Rather than wanting to [[LadyAndKnight help and protect Anthy]] in the Duels, what Utena truly wanted was to be Anthy's KnightInShiningArmor so she could bolster her own ego and making Anthy relay on her, without taking [[BrokenBird Anthy's]] actual desires and thoughts into consideration. She only realizes this truth after finding out that Akio used Anthy's eternal FateWorseThanDeath to bait her and, understandably, she's devastated. This grim revelation gives [[PluckyGirl Utena]] the determination to truly free Anthy from both Akio [[ViciousCycle and herself]], rather than just White Knighting for her so she could feel good. It works since Anthy sees her sincerity, realizes Utena is truly fighting for her rather than for her own ego... so in the end she decides "IWillNotBeAVictim" and [[ButNowIMustGo leaves Ohtori with Chuchu]] [[IWillFindYou to find the missing Utena]], finally liberating herself from Akio and her own demons.]]
* SelectiveObliviousness:
** She seems to put a veil over her eyes when she's facing the true meaning of certain things; like in [[spoiler:Wakaba's duel]], she was confused about why she was dueling and seems to not hear [[spoiler:Wakaba]] yelling at her face how envious she is of her and all the "special people".
** However that scene in particular could have been Utena not understanding [[spoiler:how Wakaba could see herself as not special when she considers Wakaba really special to her as a best friend]]. A more clear showing of this trope is Utena not always understanding the situations at hand due to her obliviousness like Juri and Shiori's full situation and when Nanami tries to tell her straight up that [[spoiler:Anthy and Akio are sleeping with each other, and that was ''after'' Utena found out herself]].
** She regards Nanami's attitude in Episode 32 as one of her usual bitch fits, though understandably due to Nanami's past actions. However, she doesn't pick up that ''something'' is wrong with Nanami when the girl is gravely serious before attacking Utena in a berserk rage.
* ShesGotLegs: According to Ikuni himself, she wears Daisy Dukes to show off her legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: She's actually supportive of Miki's interest in Anthy, as long as he expresses it in a normal way (that is, as long as he doesn't try to possess Anthy via the duels).
* ShutUpHannibal: Her duels frequently end like this. Especially prominent with her talk with Mikage in Nemuro Hall.
* SkilledButNaive: Essentially the prince/princess dichotomy Utena embodies. She can outfight high school kendo and fencing captains (prince). But she's extremely trusting and inexperienced (princess). Touga and [[spoiler:Akio]] successfully exploit this contradiction.
%%* TakeMyHand: [[spoiler:To Anthy in the final episode.]]
* TalkingInBed: She and Anthy frequently converse in their adjacent beds after they move into the planetarium tower.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Anthy's Girly Girl.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak:
** In the series, she is an outspoken ActionGirl [[WholesomeCrossdresser in a modified boy's uniform]]. She also has {{long|Hair is feminine}} {{pink|Means Feminine}} hair that reaches her lower back and outright defies the idea that she wants to be OneOfTheBoys in the first episode. One could argue that she's actually [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak predominantly feminine]], and her few masculine traits are just more visible.
** Utena [[TomboynessUpgrade is more visually masculine]] in the movie. However, her personality is largely unaltered, and in her relationship with Anthy, Utena takes a more sexually submissive role.
* TomboynessUpgrade: Utena in the series has a roughly even mix of masculine and feminine apparel, while in the movie she's outright {{Bifauxnen}}.
* TragicHero: [[spoiler:It turns out that her prince was really the BigBad and the encounter that saved her from despair was one of his manipulations, the person she's trying to save is so deep in torment that she'd rather kill Utena than face life without it, and in the end Utena sacrifices herself, vanishing from Ohtori Academy and the memory of her friends.]]
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:When slapping Wakaba in Episode 12]]. The same incident happens in Chapter 18, but she's more herself at the time.
* UnderwaterKiss: In the movie-manga [[spoiler:with Touga]]. The actual movie has a variant; [[spoiler:Utena and Touga are separated by a glass wall when they kiss, and only Touga's side is flooded, symbolizing the fact that he died by drowning]].
* UnstoppableRage: Once she has [[spoiler:Akio]] on the ropes in the final duel after giving a ShutUpHannibal, she does ''not'' cease in her assault.
* UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy: Played with; Utena is never outright forced into feminine clothes, but when she does, it's a sign she's being manipulated or emotionally put-upon. [[spoiler:The ''only'' time she wore the female uniform was after losing Anthy to Touga and she believed she lost her right to be a prince. Later on, she starts to slip from her male uniform into more girly clothes after being seduced by Akio, who almost got her to slip out of being a prince to turn her into a princess.]]
* WhoWearsShortShorts: She wears shorts as part of her CustomUniform, which is the part of her uniform the teachers seem to have the biggest issue with.
* WideEyedIdealist: The most naive character in the show.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Brings one to her duel with Saionji. He shears it off, but she beats him anyway.
[[/folder]]
----

* FamousLastWords:
-->"[[spoiler:At the end, I couldn't become a prince. I'm sorry Himemiya, for pretending I was a prince. I'm sorry.]]"

* CovertPervert: Very subtly in the FreakyFridayFlip where she sneaks a peek of Saionjis's bare chest.

** And in the ''original'' manga, ''Utena'' is the "boy" who jumped into the river to save a girl and nearly drowned. [[spoiler:This is the one continuity where the rescuer actually survives]].

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Possibly, at the end of the series and manga.]]

* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: In the movie, she normally has short hair. When she transforms into her dueling outfit her hair also grows out.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Though she's generally pretty tomboyish, it's only in TheMovie when she really fits this trope, she has BoyishShortHair when she isn't dueling and her CustomUniform is much more masculine-looking.

* SkilledButNaive: Essentially the prince/princess dichotomy Utena embodies. She can outfight high school kendo and fencing captains (prince). But she's extremely trusting and inexperienced (princess). Touga and [[spoiler:Akio]] successfully exploit this contradiction.

* BadassBisexual: She's shown romantic interest in Touga, Akio, and Anthy (though in the series she's got quite a lot of [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday denial concerning the last one]]), and is an athletic duelist who's won many fights.

* UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy: PlayedForDrama. Episode 12 straight up shows that a tomboy Utena is a happy Utena and when she's getting girly, something's wrong with her. [[spoiler:The ''only'' time she wore the female uniform was after losing Anthy to Touga and she believed she lost her right to be a prince. Later on, she starts to slip from her male uniform into more girly clothes after being seduced by Akio, who almost got her to slip out of being a prince to turn her into a princess.]]

** In the series, she is an outspoken ActionGirl [[WholesomeCrossdresser in a modified boy's uniform]]. She also has {{long|Hair is feminine}} {{pink|Means Feminine}} hair that reaches her lower back and outright defies the idea that she wants to be OneOfTheBoys in the first episode. One could argue that she's actually [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak predominantly feminine]], it's just that her few masculine traits are very obvious.
