introduction and **info request** (please help!)

[methodicmadness.livejournal.com]

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself -- I'm methodic madness (MM for short), and I was absolutely charmed by Princess Tutu. I initially downloaded it only to have something to watch and pass the time with, thinking that with a title like that, it would just be some silly magical girl shoujo series with no real point. Boy was I wrong, and boy am I glad I was! I was so impressed with the way the plot, the characters, the artwork, and the music all came together to form an incredibly deep and engaging story. I'm currently on my third time through the series since June. ^_^


Anyway, I am also posting because I need some help from the members of this community. I have decided to try writing a Princess Tutu fanfic, telling the story of the battle between the Prince and the Raven before they left the book. I want to keep my story as close to canon as possible, so I need to get as much info as I can on the people, places, and events of the story before Drosselmeyer died. I especially am not sure of what role Tutu and Claire/Kraehe played in the original story. If anyone can give me *any* help, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks so much!!
