Anthy Himemiya

Anthy Himemiya is a mysterious girl who is said to have no thoughts or desires besides what her current master expects of her. Because of her "doormat" behavior, other characters tend to project their wants or desires onto her and she's always the target of their eventual rage. Her past and current personality are simultaneously tragic and vengeful, but her personality shifts between selfless love, passive-aggressive revenge and learned helplessness. Like Utena Tenjou, Anthy also subverts and conforms to the stereotypes she embodies as both a princess and a witch. Anthy appears to be South Asian, probably from Indian descent. She is noticeably darker than the other characters and wears a bindi mark or jewel. Anthy initially expresses no personal emotions or thoughts for herself whatsoever, other than her care for Chu-Chu, although this is only an extension of her identity as the Rose Bride. In order to obey her fiancee's wishes, Anthy attempts to limit her visible persona to one of subservient docility. In reality, however, Anthy's true emotions are often dark and at times vengeful, due to the amount of abuse she has been subject to. For this very reason, Anthy holds little hope in humanity and thus refuses to trust others with her feelings until Utena endeavors to destroy the barrier between herself as a duelist and Anthy as the Rose Bride. She has childlike mannerisms, also possibly as a result of her abuse. She seems to express genuine enjoyment in caring for animals. She also enjoys piano, shaved ice and watching the shopping network. Throughout the series, Anthy also appears to be loyal and soft-spoken.
