Lady Eboshi (Mononoke Hime)

 
 
 
 

It seems odd that I haven't paid tribute to any Ghibli/Miyazaki films yet... and I think that this will be a fantastic first costume. What I think I like best about Mononoke hime is the fact that while you have many opposing forces, there is no clear antagonist. Each character has his or her flaws, leaving the viewer to interpret the real threat. While Lady Eboshi seems overzealous about industrialization, she does care for her fellow man. While misguided environmentally, she does try her best to do the right thing by her own people, and she's very brave and loyal. I think in that sense, I can relate to her a lot.
