The Narrator opens each episode as an unseen voice, framing events through fairy tale conventions with variations of "once upon a time." Initially detached, it recounts the backstory of Drosselmeyer's unfinished tale *The Prince and the Raven*, including the prince's sacrifice to seal the Raven and the scattering of his heart shards. These segments establish thematic foundations for each episode's conflict, referencing classic fairy tales or ballet narratives while foreshadowing character dilemmas. This voice is revealed to originate from Edel, a life-sized wooden puppet created by Drosselmeyer to narrate his story. Edel operates a street organ and dispenses guidance to Duck, originally lacking her own emotions. Through interactions with Duck, Edel develops genuine emotional capacity, defying her purpose as a mere storytelling device. Her role expands when she sacrifices herself in a fire during the first season's climax to save Fakir and illuminate a path for Mytho and Princess Tutu. Following Edel's destruction, her ashes are used by Charon to create Uzura, a toddler-like doll. Uzura inherits Edel's supportive function, assisting Duck by facilitating her transformations with water splashes and exhibiting persistent curiosity about love's nature, signifying narrative continuity despite the physical change. The Narrator evolves from a meta-textual framing device to an emotionally invested character within the story, culminating in challenging Drosselmeyer's authority. By developing autonomy through relationships and sacrificing herself for others, the character embodies the theme of defying predetermined stories.
