She also lacks courage, but in the end she finds her courage in her friendships. The reason why she’s not too courageous is because of the fact that she is just a duck. Over time she becomes more courageous and confident in herself. She also has a lot of habits due to the fact that that she is a duck. The one that comes out the most is the fact that she tends to say “Quack!” Whenever she’s started or scared, it slips out causing her to turn back into a duck.

As Princess Tutu, she’s much different from her usually clumsy self. Tutu is much wiser than Duck is. She has a lot insight in situations and she’s so much more graceful. She can dance much better and can do the things that she would normally have troubles doing. Dancing on point is a good example, along with doing the pas de deux on her own. She quieter and speaks softly. Unlike Duck, she’s very calm. She seems to understand the world around her more so than Duck does.

She does have her insecurities though. She does realize her faults. When she’s reminded of her insecurities as a human and duck, she tends to falter in her actions. They do make her hesitate. She’s afraid of hurting others to the point that she’d withdraw if it caused more pain. Once she found out that Mytho was afraid of her and hurting, it was enough to keep her from continuing to find his heart shards. It was only when he, himself, asked her to continue looking for his heart shards that she was able to continue on.
