Drosselmeyer, a deceased writer turned enigmatic, otherworldly figure, authored the incomplete tale *The Prince and the Raven*, whose narratives could warp reality. Feared by townspeople for this power, his final work was interrupted when the Book Men severed his hands to stop him, leading to his fatal blood loss. With his last breath, he forged a mechanical device from his blood to perpetuate his story beyond death, ensnaring the prince and raven in endless conflict. An elderly man with white hair, a three-pronged beard, and flamboyant attire—multicolored plumed hat, maroon cape patterned with green lizards—he balanced cheerfulness with a taste for tragedy, valuing narrative spectacle over his characters’ fates. He treated Gold Crown Town’s inhabitants as puppets, scolding them for straying from their roles. Posthumously, he orchestrated events by transforming a duck into Ahiru, a girl tasked as Princess Tutu to mend Prince Mytho’s shattered heart. Observing from a separate dimension, he intervened through proxies like the puppet Edel or manipulated Fakir, his descendant, who inherited his reality-shaping writing gift. Driven to steer the tale toward tragedy, he pressured Ahiru toward selfish acts and forced Fakir to script suffering. His control unraveled as characters defied their roles. When Fakir and Ahiru shattered his mechanical device, severing his influence, Drosselmeyer conceded defeat, recognizing himself as a mere player in a grander story. Departing with Uzura to pursue new narratives, he relinquished the protagonists to shape their futures. His name echoes E.T.A. Hoffmann’s *The Nutcracker and the Mouse King*, though his role diverges, serving as meta-commentary on authorship and control.
