Edel is an artificial intelligence assistant created by Drosselmeyer to guide characters through a predetermined story. Although she is just a machine, she acts as if she has feelings and sacrifices herself for the greater good by burning her body to keep Fakir warm and light the way to the surface for Princess Tutu and Prince Myuuto. In the end, what remains of her are put back together, resulting in Uzura's birth as a reincarnation. The song Edel plays on her organ grinder is "Musique des Automates" from the ballet "Coppélia," which reminds us that she was once a puppet herself. Although she may not be a real puppet, Edel owns a shop that sells tutus and has given Ahiru important information about Princess Tutu's pendant.
