"Petite Princess Yucie" or "Puchi Puri Yuushi" is an anime and manga about a seventeen year old girl named Yuushi. (Yucie in English) The anime and manga are both very fun and cute.
Yuushi is trapped in a 10-year old's body (she has a curse on her). She would do anything to become her age. When she hears of an opportunity to become a chosen "Platina Princess", and then have the power to use a tiara that grants a special wish to the Platina Princess once every 1000 years, Yuushi goes for it with clear determination.
Since Yuushi wants to be a Platinum Princess, and the only way to do that is to attend the Princess Academy... but that’s not as easy as it sounds! Under the guidance of Queen Ercell, Yucie must complete a epic quest for the fabled Tiara of Eternity!


Kokuru
Kokuru is a soft-spoken young woman who becomes Yuushi's friend very early in the series. She is a fellow student at the Princess Academy who wears tiny spectacles at the end of her nose, with her chief characteristics being self-effacing and gentle. Kokuru is so gentle that she is often ignored and talked-over by the much louder Yuushi and Glenda, which causes Kokuru to lament that she "has no presence after all". But Kokuru is amazingly kind and encouraging towards her friends, which makes an impression on everyone who gets to know her.

Glenda
Glenda is an outgoing and a very competitive person. She is Yuushi's rival, but deep down inside her heart, she has a side that is kind and caring.

Cube
A demon and a loyal steward to both Yuushi and her father, Gunbard, Cube is able to summon magical items through sorcery. He is one of Yuushi's best friends.

Gaga
Gaga is Glenda's steward (servant). He is a seven-foot-tall black-bodied cat-like demon with long, silver hair. This very old man demon has occasional accidents when his hip goes out and can make long-winded lectures that can put anyone listening to sleep, much to his annoyance. Always loyal without question, Gaga takes great pride in being a steward. He also has the ability to transform into a black, red-eyed cat with bat-like wings.

Elmina
As the Princess of Heaven, Elmina is an angel who wears white robes and has wings. Elmina is very studious and fastidious, and a bit of a humorless goody-two-shoes. When she was younger, her stern father (who is the king of Heaven) would not tolerate imperfection. So Elmina tries very hard to be perfect, and she is also very hard on herself whenever she makes a mistake. But with her new friends at the Princess Academy, Elmina slowly learns to be more confident and secure.
Beth
Beth is the princess of the fairy world. Although she is also a Platinum Princess candidate, she left the Princess Academy after an evil force named Diabolos attacked her world. She is so determined to become the Platinum Princess that she once kidnaps Kokoru and tries to force her to give up her candidacy. As a result of difficulties she is suffering in her world, she refuses the offers of friendship from the other girls and regards them as her enemies. Due to this attitude, the residents of the fairy world regard her as dangerous.

Chow
Kokoru's steward. Chow is a ghost who often hides in her shadow, so the other characters do not meet him until well into the series. He is very devoted to Kokoru and will always defend her. However, being too devoted to Kokoru, he is often seem exaggerating events to others, even to much of the extent of lying.
Arc
Arc is a mysterious young man dressed in a cape and fedora. He first meets Yuushi when he seeks shelter at a convent at which she is temporarily working. Although Yuushi is very saucy towards Arc, she finds herself drawn to him.
Queen Ercell
Queen Ercell, in addition to being queen, is also the principal of the Princess Academy, and the keeper of the Eternal Tiara. She is in charge of finding the Platinum Princess candidates and guiding them through their tasks.

Belbel
