This story is a sequel to the anime Princess Tutu. It continues from where the first series left off.
To be able to understand this story, you need to watch the original anime series by Ikuko Itoh.
Synopisis:
After the events of the finale, Duck has returned to being a bird, and Mytho returned to the story together with Rue.
Suddenly, Duck’s wish to be human comes true and she can start off a completely new life as a human girl. After returning to her old Academy, Duck meets a new student, Claudia, and the girls become friends.
Fakir also notices that one of his classmates, called Ivan, is acting strange and looking up things from the dark past of the Gold Krone Town.
And then all of a sudden magic seems to have returned in the form of small fairies and the mysterious, blazing Firebrid from ancient legends.
The power of Princess Tutu is once again needed but this time Fakir moves the pen, not Drosselmeyer.

Hello, everyone! This is Janice, the director of the PTZ fandub!
I believe I came up with a solution when it comes to the whole Columbine casting debacle. For those who don’t know, Columbine has been one of the tricker characters to cast for because it has yet to be confirmed if Columbine is her own character, or actually an alter-ego of, the character, Claudia.
Now, with the release of the first half of episode 5 of PTZ, this past week, it is seeming more likely that Claudia is indeed NOT Columbine; in fact the most popular theory, right now is that Columbine is actually her missing sister, Heidi.
Because of the new evidence showing Claudia and Columbine to not be the same person, I came up with a solution when it comes to this tricky casting.
I have, indeed, decided to cast another actress for the role of our villainess Columbine, HOWEVER, I will also have my VA for Claudia record for Columbine as well, JUST IN CASE they’re one and the same; kinda like an understudy of sorts.
Now, if it does turn out that Claudia is Columbine in the end, the person who I initially cast as Columbine will end up taking up the role for another character, which given the opening song, seems will play a very important role in the series.
But yes, TL;DR I will be making two different versions of the episodes: 1 with our casted Columbine VA, and another version with our Claudia VA with her take of the character.
Also, this serves as a reminder that the EXTENDED CASTING CALL ends on June 30th, 2023 at 11:59PM EST
Thank you for your time everyone!

Role in the Story: Fakir has seemingly settled well in the normal life. With his tale-spinner powers, Fakir undid everything Drosselmeyer messed up in Golden Crown town. But his efforts to keep the town normal and out of harmful magic is not as easy as Fakir had thought and it’s gradually starting to take a toll of him.
Voice Reference: Chris Patton
Are you sure you're okay with this, Duck? Remember, your feelings are the most important, here. Do you really want to remain as a human girl?
[a bit flustered] You're jumping into strange conclusions here, Duck! I never said we should live together at my house! You got a dorm room now, so you don't need to worry about finding a place to stay at! So just focus on your ballet, alright?!
[serious, jealous] I'll read it, and look up every little detail! I'm going to find out just where that fairy guy came from! Until I find out who the hell he is, he's not going anywhere NEAR Duck!
Significance: Main

Role in the Story: Duck befriends a new student called Claudia who just returned to her hometown after spending years in Paris. Claudia is a very talented ballet dancer and other students title her ”Swan Lady”. But because of her obscure past she is also shunned by her peers. Claudia tries her best to keep her secrets hidden, but after meeting Duck she begins to understand that she must come in terms with her past.
NOTE: THIS CHARACTER HAS A FRENCH ACCENT.

Role in the Story: Ivan is unfriendly at first, but later develops a growing interest towards Duck and Princess Tutu. Not much is known about him, but he’s constantly seeking knowledge about the tale-spinners and ways to gain access to their powers.
[to himself, mysterious] So, she's come back to town, has she?
[to Fakir] What are you reading? "The Chronicles of Gold Krone?" Ah, so you're interested in our town's history? My grandparents were immigrants who settled in this town a long time ago, so I have no first hand information about the ancestors and founding families. But if I were you, I'd take a look at the church's parish register. The church existed even before the town's walls. Priests have documented many interesting things over time. Secrets, knowledge... and lies.
[to Claudia] Princess Tutu is just a storybook character.

I have no idea how this happened. Only tale-spinners can do something like this.

Princess Tutu... So, you finally came to see me, after all. I've been searching high and low for you. When you didn't come to the secret riverbank, like you said, I got so worried!

I am Columbine; I am a prima ballerina known as The Beautiful Trickster. Come here, little fairy. I'll take you back home where you belong.
[Seeing Princess Tutu from afar] Is that... No... It can't be...! The story of The Prince and the Raven is over! So how is she still...?

Role in the Story: Sinclair was a former member of The Book Men, a group of mysterious figures that call themselves the protectors of stories. Long ago, their ancestors cut off Drosselmeyer's hands so he wouldn't be able to distort reality with his writing. However, now being the only member left, he decides to retire and hand over the job to Ivan.
Voice Reference: Robert Leeds
You don't know what it's like, Ivan. I'm completely alone now. That episode with the Monster Raven a while ago was too much for the Book Men, so they left town and took their families with them. They said they had had enough. Little by little people have vanished from my side. My wife being the very first. Even my own sons turned down their heritage and ran away. Kids these days are just too spoiled. They don't understand what our duty is and what our ancestors did in order to keep peace.
Ivan, I'm old and useless. You must take charge and protect this town from tale-spinners and their bad influence. They must be controlled!
