Utena Tenjou

Utena Tenjou is the main protagonist from the Revolutionary Girl Utena anime and manga.

Utena 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.

Appearance
Initially, Utena is portrayed with blonde hair and wearing a modified version of the boys' school uniform which is pink in color. In her final design in the anime and manga, Utena has straight pink hair that reaches past her shoulders and blue eyes. She's taller than average. She wears a dark blue blazer and red shorts. Her uniform is modified when dueling by the addition of white epaulettes to her shoulders and a gold aiguillettethrough Anthy Himemiya's magic.

In the movie, Utena's long wavy hair is normally tied up as it appears to be very short and it becomes undone whenever she is wearing her duelist outfit. Her regular uniform is a black and white blazer and matching trousers, which are unlike the normal boys' uniform, and she wears a navy cap. Utena's trousers are replaced with shorts in her dueling outfit and the addition of gold epaulettes to her shoulders, a red aiguillette and red coloring to her blazer.

Personality
Utena is a popular, passionate and intelligent girl who is looked up to by a number of her fellow pupils, at first appearing to be the total opposite of her friend and fellow protagonist Anthy Himemiya. Despite this, Utena is introverted and she has her own faults, as all at Ohtori do; she has a short temper and can be extremely impulsive as she is quick to assume others' intentions and feelings, which causes no shortage of problems among individuals as complex as Ohtori's students.

In the movie, Utena cuts a more no-nonsense and serious figure, almost to the point of pragmatism and rudeness, as part of the role reversal she and Anthy are subject to.

Abilities
Utena is 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.

Trivia

 * 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.
