LADY EBOSHI
|
|
Lady Eboshi is the ruthless, progressive leader of Iron Town, a huge complex built by humans inside the great forest. Although she may seem like a brash and rough woman, she cares deeply for her townspeople, giving work to shunned lepers and former prostitutes. An expert markswoman, she is rarely outmatched with her huge rifle in battle. She sees animals and nature in general as something to be conquered - domesticated for the survival of mankind. Her ideologies and actions lead her to frequent clashes with San, until they culminate in an event far worse than she had bargained for.
