Kaoru Kozue

Kozue is very possessive of her twin brother Miki, and doesn't want anything to come between them. When she sees Miki in common company with Anthy, she becomes terribly jealous and finds her way to the Mikage Seminar, becoming a duelist. She takes Miki's spirit sword to use in her duel with Utena.

Kozue's feelings of possessiveness toward Miki seem to rule her life, and she won't hesitate to try to stop anything between them. Her feelings seem to stem from when they were younger and used to play the piano together. Kozue was terrible, but Miki was so good that he could cover for her without knowing it. One day they were going to play in a concert when Miki became ill and Kozue had to play by herself. She knew she couldn't without him, so she refused to do the concert and never played again. Her 'hobby' afterwards is mainly to keep Miki's attention on her, and no one but her. She intentionally does things to make him worry, because she knows if he's worried about her, he's thinking about her. However, this causes Miki to have misgivings and confusion about his feelings towards her, which only complicates them and their affects on everyone else.
