Character Bios

Ashitaka
Ashitaka is a young warrior prince of the Emishi tribe. While bravely protecting his village from a corrupted boar god, he was infected with a demon curse, and was banished from his village in hopes of finding a cure. Along the way he comes across Iron Town, and the mysterious Princess Mononoke: the Princess of all beasts who was raised by wolves.
He saves her life, and ends up falling in love with her. He is a very earnest guy who fights for what he believes in at all costs. Even he is a warrior, he believes it is wrong to take people's lives away, even in battle. He owns a red elk named Yakul, who is just as noble and swift as Ashitaka is.

San a.k.a. Princess Mononoke
San is the young female who was raised by and lives with wolves. She is the daughter of Moro, the wolf god, thus making her a Princess. She believes she is a wolf and now lives to kill Lady Eboshi, a woman who is destroying forests to build her Iron Town. Although San was raised by the wolves, she isn't exactly as primitive as you would think she'd be, yet she can't contain her anger either. She somehow softens up to Ashitaka in the end of the movie.
