Description
Character rendition for my fanfic series No Rock to Cling to . A lengthy fic that is based off of the Utena anime.

The fic itself is set in modern times, eight years after the events in the anime. Everyone is older and has gone their seperate ways...but disturbing events brings them all back together, and unlock dark memories of the past...

Here we have "Ten" herself... a hard rocker who had gained massive global popularity as a lead singer of a band. "Ten", her stage name was thought to be a shortening of the name "Utena Tenjou"...who we all also originally believe to have simply forgotten her previous memories. Indeed, she seemed to recall nothing of her past, having chopped her long pink hair short, taken to wearing chains and leather and way too many zippers. Nothing like her old elegant self.

Upon being confronted by Anthy, who had been desperately seeking to reunite with her, Utena became exceedingly angry and violent for no explicable reason. Very much out of her usual character. And it worried those who knew her.

It was later revealed that she wasn't really Utena at all...and as events began to spiral into something dark and twisted, we find she is actually possessed by ten powerful Swords of Hatred, who struck a devil's bargain with her in exchange for her life in the final duel. Her eyes glow silver when the sword drops its disguise, revealing her true nature.

What evil plot is being hatched...and will the Prince's body ever be returned to her? And how much more pain can the rest of the Duelists and their Witch stand to suffer?
